Nanny Blog Pressured to Take ‘Stereotype’ Image Down, Replace With Other

Photo: ISawYourNanny.com

So apparently the stereotype-sensitive commenters at Jezebel peer-pressured the au pair Website isawyournanny.com into dropping their blog banner, which was a cartoon image of three sassily dressed nannies of different ethnicities. Now the image is one slightly-too-sultry Eastern European chick. Not stereotypical at all! [BlogN***er]
