I face this everyday not because of how I look but in how I speak Spanish. I was born in Puerto Rico but most of my friends are from Santo Domingo, because of this I carry a Dominican accent when I speak Spanish! My sons on the otherhand are mixed race and have faced many sterotypes because of it. It amazes me since we live in New York, a huge melting pot of various ethnicities, yet the question always comes, just as you stated: “Where are you from?” thn the statement, "No, tienes mas que eso..." as if their answers weren't enough. In the end, I believe one day it won't matter. Society <i>is</i> evolving, or, at least, that is my dream. What a great article!

My friend Laura, a Cuban of Spanish and French ancestry, is whiter than I am. What color is it she is of exactly?
