Practicing Awareness of Microaggressions

I have a  daughter with a cognitive disability who has a full head of thick long hair my hair. My hair is short and thin., as we were standing in the checkout line in Macy's on Black Friday. Two ladies of the dominate culture were in line behind me, one of them said to me " excuse me mam but is that your daughter? I said yes it is, then the lady said to me in a louder voice 'is that her hair? I reply "yes it is! then her very rude friends saids ' We mean is that her real hair because my friend and I were wondering if it was a weave.I responded unprofessionally, by telling them they can continue to wonder until they figured it out. This was a form of microinsult and stereotyping. This experience has taught me that racism and discrimination still runs ramped in the world and we as early childhood professional have our jobs cut for us when tackling the many issues of micro aggressions in regards to serving children and families.
