Los gringos. I can only speculate what it feels like, how a person reacts, how they change, if they're Anglo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-26789134815590496382015-01-05T18:07:42.281-07:002015-01-05T18:07:42.281-07:00Hi,

I grew up as an Anglo with a dad who was a professor of law who was bipolar, so was in and out of mental hospitals all of my life. Having a mentally ill parent when you were born in 1951 makes you feel like an outsider. Also, we weren't of any religion, and I lived in Minneapolis, which was heavily Lutheran. My friends were Jewish and Catholic and anyone else who was "other." <br />As far as writing about racial experiences as an Anglo, you mostly only notice if someone else is discriminated against. Sometimes you have the experience of being the minority, like in Hawaii or Jamaica--but then you just feel like some weird representative of white people who oppressed others even though you didn't do it.junohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15911774027349951308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-33503175401756282322015-01-04T08:24:06.631-07:002015-01-04T08:24:06.631-07:00Thanks, Lisa.

Funny that more Anglo writers don't write, in spec or otherwise, much about their racial experiences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-17413090354295559492015-01-04T08:07:50.166-07:002015-01-04T08:07:50.166-07:00BRAVO, carnal!
