@po1 William "Chip" Nagel An interesting article. Not fitting in, in two cultures has to be rough for anyone.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - When my daughter was pregnant with my grandson, she wanted to refer to him as peanut. I said "I will never refer to my grandchild as something I can eat at a bar. He is now nicknamed Squeegee or just Squeege." So I agree it was cute.

My Kids felt that, But learned to think :"F-them if they do not like it" about bigots,

One looks very korean the other looks Hispanic, the Hispanic looking one lives in Korea and loves the culture, the one that looks Korean is as culturally American as a Cheeseburger and fries.

PO3 Steven Sherrill - My Daughter has always been Boogs for My Little Booger and Her Son got his Nickname from his Older Sisters from the sound he would make a as a Toddler when he was Contented bububu. Needles to Say My Oldest Grandson is Roen "Buba" Taylor at first I wasn't really thrilled with that but it Grew On Me.

Very interesting read. Thanks. It's not too surprising to see some Canadians treat mixed race individuals differently depending on whether they inherited the light or dark traits of their parents.
