Just because my Indian heritage is more visible than your Anglo-Saxon/Irish/Slavic/whatever culture doesn't mean it has to automatically be invoked. I repeat, I don't bring up Joyce just because my date's last name happens to be Kennedy.<BR/><BR/>And furthermore, what exactly does it mean to be "down with brown"? If I wanted someone to share my culture with, I'd just date/marry an Indian (which is probably what will happen). No white person is every going to actually get and appreciate our heritage on the same level, just as I can't claim the same kinship with country music or the Bible as a native son here. I think what most Indian-Americans want is to just be treated as individuals, without a lot of assumptions about what we must be into.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8559110753602072603.post-82606447850506202892008-02-16T07:54:00.000-05:002008-02-16T07:54:00.000-05:00Everyone of the current gen. needs to see the old ...Everyone of the current gen. needs to see the old Dick Van Dyke shows, when the son brought home a black date.
