The hairstyle plus the sunglasses plus the shortness of the shorts and the tightness of the t-shirt are all trends for late teenagers and not pre-pubescent daughters of the President of the United States based on my obervations.

Well, you're just wrong. That t-shirt is no tighter than any other t-shirt I see on a typical 11 year old. And the shorts are the style these days. When I was a kid in the late '70s-early '80s, our shorts were so short it was ridiculous (remember the old style shorts basketball players used to wear? yeah.) Then the style changed to shorts down to your knees. It's swung back again. Those shorts are the same length as the ones I wore in 1981 when I was 11. As for sunglasses? I wish I'd worn them more as a kid. The sun is very bad for the eyes and there are cataracts and macular degeneration in my family. Everyone should wear sunglasses. I wear them whenever I go outside now. And the hair? I don't get what you find inappropriate about that.

Again, if she was 4'10", you wouldn't think she looked 16 or 17. She happens to be a very tall girl.

The problem may actually be you. You take what others say and label it what YOU feel is racist or not. That is exactly what the MSM does also.

My youngest son is 18. I just showed him the picture and asked if he knew who she was. He didn't.

I then asked him how old he thought she was. He said "as young as 15, but maybe 17 or 18."

Now, a 17 or 18 year old girl is someone who he would consider dating. And she looks like she is the age to be dating. All your individual arguments aside, I think that spells trouble for an 11 year old girl and sends the wrong message as a daughter of the POTUS.

I asked my son, after I told him how old she was, if HE thought she was dressed inappropriately. He didn't know what I thought. He said "no." But when I talked about appropriteness for someone as young as 11 he still said no but kinda saw what I was talking about.

This is America where people can disagree about things. I've told you this to indicate that this particular case has some gray areas in it and I believe that most people looking at it would think that she was older than 11 and possibly above the age of consent. I my book that is inappropriate. Your mileage may vary.
