B) I really feel that racism has decreased so much in our country, but realize we have so far to go. It's crazy to think that in like 500 years there won't even be "colors", rather just "shades".

I have been thinking about teaching english abroad since I was in HS and it makes me sad that maybe I wouldn't be able to becaues I dont look white enough. For the record, I am white but people always ask me if I'm *insert like EVERY other ethnicity here*.<br /><br />This post surprised me.

The emphasis here is on babies in particular. A pale skin baby with blue eyes is like the ultimate godsend while a darker skin baby is looked down upon. <br /><br />So then, being in a bicultural marriage, you can see where I'd be stressed about any future children. Though I'm quite pale, Adrian is darker. I pray that should I have two kids, that the discrimination the darker of the two will experience from Mexican culture somehow will not touch my kid or build him/her's strong character and grow his/her compassion for others. And I pray that my future lighter-skin child realizes that his/her skin tone makes him no better than anyone else.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I know that one of my children will most likely have it more difficult than the other. I think about some of the things you and Jon dealt with that I never had to because of my pale skin and blue eyes. Though in the end, I think we all came out pretty compassionate people. <br /><br />Ok I'm gonna stop. Bye!<br />Oh hello, Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608848370297735930noreply@blogger.com
