In reply to the discussion: I am Latina but pass as White [View all]Kalidurga
(14,177 posts)I didn't know this until a couple of years ago. I don't consider them Hispanic or Latina, they are my children. So, I never had the talk and I have no idea what that talk would have been because well are they supposed to go up to people they barely know and say "My mom is white but my dad's mom was a Mexican Indian and his dad was Cuban, my mom's grandfather was part German only not really I mean his family had been in England for centuries so he's probably mostly English, same with her grandmother, I think we still have some relatives in New York state.
So anyway, my youngest daughter works at SA and her dad comes in and she tells a coworker that is her dad and she was all like no way, you are not Mexican. Needless to say we are all confused.
