OK, I need some serious input. My wife and I have no problems assimilating to a foreign culture. But, I have a couple of boys that are white as white can be. We're talking blue eyes, blond hair, and American upbringing.
How are Anglo kids treated by the DR children? Adults? Teachers?
Here in my town, Denver, we are a minority. The hispanic culture here is significant. We have carnecerias, panaderias, lavanderias, in my zone. Our schools are bilingual. So my kids understand somewhat.
But hispanic children here are harsh and sometimes nasty (and were talking grade school level). Middle school is a gang breeding ground, with plenty of fights and scuffles over chicas, drugs, and turf. My "Cracker Boys" have quite a challenge. Many families don't speak enlgish because they don't have to. At the same time, their income levels suffer.
I know this hatred is bred at home, by family and friends, for the most part. Does this happen there as well. Do kids get beat up for being white?
