I expect this opinion may evolve as I age and consider more the forces that have shaped me. @Jenn yeah, I tend to not see it as relevant.

I had no idea.... that you are partly of Mexican heritage. Actually I think that's cool. Made me think of my friend Ron, who's family was hispanic-- having arrived in this county (or what is now this country) in the 1500s. He spoke a little spanish (una mas cerveza por favor, for example). I spoke way better spanish. But when we went out to dinner in Tijuana, they always assumed he spoke Spanish (based on his looks) and assumed I did not. Which is really rather funny. I am with you on the race thing, however. Not sure what to say about it either except to add I don't know why it matters. We all put our pants on one leg at a time as the saying goes :-) wow, Joe.
