Hubby and I have talked abt this a lot and we think whatever culture we want to emphasise, our children will run in the exact opposite direction. If we ever move to India, they will want to be more mexican and otherwise. But I was more interested in Dr. Prasad article (feel sorry I couldn't see the special show on channel 4) but the disgraceful comments from some people make me cringe. Read them only if you had already had breakfast or it might cause and ulcer. Thanks for these GG. I agree with 2pel..

Frankly, I didn't want her to lose any of the privileges of being white. [...] I just wanted the eyelashes, and cheekbones, and that lyrical Spanish when appropriate. I wanted the good stuff, and from both sides." Reading this excerpt hurt my heart the moment I came across, if for no other reason than the flash of pain while wondering what this girl may go through while growing up, thanks to her mother. “Yes, she would learn Spanish and English, but to emphasize her Latina side, I felt, was somehow a disservice.
