So, the fact that I have a sister whose last name is Brown, but her children are pasty white and Chad has a brother who's adopted several multi-racial children who ARE brown even though their last name is Fears is of great delight to their little minds. Within our family we have cousins of African descent, Hispanic descent, Polynesian descent and pasty Northern European descent and it is deliciously normal for my children. But I remember the time when my cousin was marrying a beautiful second generation Japanese woman and my great aunt was aghast and very worried and then her granddaughter married a handsome Chinese man and she learned to shut her mouth and roll with the times. My great grandmother grew up in central Virginia and brought all her early 20th Century southern prejudices with her when she joined the church and moved to Utah. That's what she taught her daughters and because they lived in a place and time where no one really moved around and everyone looked like them, those daughters, including my grandmother, never really got loose of those prejudices. It has taken my mother's generation and my generation to think about what we think, to change what we teach so that my children and my sisters' children see nothing unusual or strange in cousins of every origin, with straight hair, thick, thin hair, curly, kinky hair, light hair, dark or flaming red hair (we have them all). I love the diversity. I love that all that difference is really the same. <br /><br />Yeah for B and her black baby. Our children are the hope, in so many ways, for peace in the future and this is why.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04373394125196084799noreply@blogger.com
