seethingblue's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- another entry about race In a National Geographic article, a writer was describing a Tahitian family made up of a half-Tahitian, half-white man and his Chinese wife. He said the children all looked like they came from different continents. Actually that writer was Peter Benchley. Those comments stung me. The way it was phrased seemed indelicate. I'm not saying everyone has to be PC and I'm sure the family wouldn't give it a second thought, so why am I so offended? I think it frightens me to think that I don't look like any of my sisters. Or that I could have children and they wouldn't look like me or each other. I notice there are no interracial families in the movie Jaws and probably not in the book either. Of course not. The only time I see an interracial family on TV is on a computer commercial. 11:56 - 04 July, 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
