This was a very touching anecdote that I enjoyed reading very much. It's a bit surreal how different things are now in regards to background than just a couple decades ago. Though of course I still get the "You're hispanic?! I thought you were white, why don't you speak spanish more?" or the "I thought you were mixed race"....
Funny enough, in the Navy, each country I visited found the locals talking to me in their language. I guess I look Greek, Italian, Middle Eastern.
Yes!!!! i love that aspect of it now too :) My children are even more racially ambiguous than I am - and i have to say.... they are so stunning to look at - they just take your breath away. But what really makes them beautiful ? Their amazing hearts! :) Love that you and I are a part of a growing group in society! Definitely brings people together when the "lines" are blurred. hehehee (have you see that amazing video for testing ancestry??? People do DNA swipes and then find out that they are completely wrong about where their lines truly trace back! It's a tear-jerker for sure!!!! I'll try to find it and post later ;) Thank you for the comments and love the interaction! :) have a GREAT day! :)
I've heard about that video! I'm not at all surprised that most people are wrong about their ethnic lineage
it's really good!!!! gotta see it :) I wish there was actually more footage shown! hahaha i would have watched the whole thing :)
and i know.... i'm not surprised either. but i think THEY are surprised. hahahahaha
