So, tonight I watched this amazing show called, "We Shall Remain", and being 3/4 European, 1/4 Indian, I could relate to both sides of the last frame in this here cartoon. Patuie! (she spits) I would not be surprised if some of this didn't happen in my paternal units dealings with each other. My non-Anglo side comes from New Mexico and Colorado for the last 1600 years, or 20,000, if you count the Indian ancestors.
The only thing I can find fault with is that the spiky haired guy in the middle looks more Asian to me. What do you think? Sorry, I can't show anything about the author or the web page he/she hides out at, as it wasn't in the bits that came to me.

I am the other end of the spectrum.
ReplyDeleteboth of my parents were immigrants, (legal) but i have first cousins who aren't--and some who are. (and some who are married to deportee's (and moved to europe to be with them)
my DIL was naturalize last year, but my BIL has a green card.
We are still new at being americans.
(my kids have a mixed heritage--their father traces his family back to the mayflower)
Maybe he's from Hong Kong, and that's why he looks so surprised at being told to go back to Mexico.
ReplyDeleteHi Helen, that is an interesting array of ancestors and contemporaries. I, too, have Canadian relatives but I've never gotten to meet them. They are on my mother's side of the family, my grandfather's parents. He ran away from home and served in the Merchant Marines and never went back again.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother was a sweet, tiny Scots/Welsh/Irish gal from the Cumberland Gap. Thank you for sharing your families American experience.
K, you are right! That must be the joke of it. mahahaha! love it!
