ANGRY/FRUSTRATED/SAD - I have two adopted Asian grand daughters. I forget that they are not white - they are just my beloved grand daughters. Knowing human nature I worried what they might face from the world being raised in a Caucasian family. It's been great. Both have friends in a spectrum of religions/colors/genders, and have never been faced with overt racism - until now. Apparently there has been an outbreak of racism at the university the younger is attending. She was initially scared, but is now pissed as is her grand father. I so wanted to protect them from the nastiness of the world. That was hopeless given the nature of man. I can only hope that reality does not change her outlook on life.
The Princess tells me that it is just part of life, but it is a part that I have always despised. She also tells me that GD is okay.
Thanks for letting me vent.
sour this is something we deal with as well. My grandsons are mixed and racism is ugly. It's a part of humanity that I hope goes away at some point.
