I hear you about keeping your pride in your Chinese heritage, I really support you in that. It gives your children a sense of pride in who their people were, where they come from. Maybe the both/and comes in by celebrating the neat stuff in the cultures around us. Not just ours, but what is in our community and nation as well. The cool thing about America is that we have been so blessed by immigration.

I let my oldest, she is 13, know about where our family came from, I tell her stories I know about her grand and greatgrandparents too. We visit the Louisiana area, and are going down there for a community reunion in May. Beyond that is taking the good parts of being southerners and celebrating that while still talking about and owning the horrible history of racism and slavery.

Some movies are so great at sharing culture, and Discovery Channel type stations do that too.

Well, let's keep on sharing and thinking, it will be good for us and our kids.
