A lot of it is because these families looking for nannies have no prior references. My cousin, who is white, spent 6 months looking and finally she was told that what little references she had, was not accepting to any of the nannies. She ended up with an au pair from Russia.

You can blame it on racism but I still say that people treat people a certain way because they know that they would do the same. Which is sad.
