So, today I went to "Infant Care" class.

I learned how to bathe a baby and change a diaper.

I learned that toilet training is easier with cloth diapers than with disposables.

When I grabbed the nearest doll (they had these life-sized infant dolls for us to practice upon), it happened to be a black baby doll. When I got to my seat and saw all of the other parents, I noticed that the white parents all got white baby dolls, and the black parents all got black baby dolls. The parents of apparently Asian ethnicity got white baby dolls. Once again, I had mistakenly and inadvertently failed to conform with convention. Luckily, nobody arrested me. But I was a little uncomfortable at having bucked some convention that the room had adopted.

So, I guess I learned that I'm still uncomfortable when I don't conform, even when conformity is stupid.
