If bein bi-racial is being a minority, then I'm a minority twice over, maybe even thrice!

I'm Mexican/English, think and feel English but look Mexican. Angela, therefore the comment on being darker than I've ever been this summer. I know that triggered you and I'm sorry. As far as I know, I feel that I am color blind. When I look at a person, I look in their eyes, not their skin color. To me, it's the eyes that tell me who they are.

All of my kids and grandkids are bi and tri-racial. I've got dark grandkids and I've got toe head grandkids. Neither I nor my husband understand why anyone would be considered less than or better than because of their skin color. However, that's not how the whole of society looks at it.

Just like taking an inventory of who you are when searching for self-esteem, Acceptance is the key. You'll find things you like and things you don't like. You Accept the things you can't change and set about changing the things you can.

As for a forum, I'm thinking that it would be as inflamatory as a political or religious forum. I'm so sorry for that. But I'm willing to discuss race and being by-racial with you any time you like.
