93. You live your life as a white person
Edited on Mon Jan-29-07 08:28 PM by Karenina
in Alabama. Your kid is half-Filipino. Does he pass there? How does your appearance affect his experience? My kids are half-white. How does my or their father's appearance affect their experience? (I could tell you some VERY FUNNY stories).

I can trace my ancestry back to Scotland, England and France. The tiny island my grandparents inhabited REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION of who begat whom no matter who was doing the begetting. I could take you to a family gathering and announce we'd found a common ancestor. NO ONE would bat an eyelash. Can you say the same?

But to get back on track, my understanding of BlooInBloo's style leads me to believe that the "reverse racism" codeword was the target even if a logical fallacy was employed to call attention to it.
