Soup_or_Science 02/14/21 8:31:16 PM #43:	MeteoricBurst posted... Replaying as you call it was never part of the equation. This was pre covid but most people I dealt with until last year were tourists. They would only be looking for hookups before they went back to whichever country they came from. A few I saw more than once if they were staying a while, but that wasn't often. Even with one offs it was still long enough for me to get a sense of the kind of people they were. Some were clearly no use. More than once I got compared "favourably" to other locals since I didn't act how they perceived us all to be (bad mannered, thuggish, only looking for money etc). I had my own issues with locals but those bad kinds were in the minority. You could say these visitors were ignorant since they didn't know much about us and were only here for fun. Others didn't have that excuse because they were expats living and working here. Also your grandfather is black? Are you white? It seems a lot of white Americans have black extract and don't know. I mean it should be obvious why with the slave history and all. I see... I actually missed this post I am very white skinned, quite pale, but as far as ethnicity goes - and forgive me if I explain it sloppily for lack of extensive knowledge - My mom's side of the family is Puerto Rican. Her grandparents (my great grandparents) both from Puerto Rico. Her father I believe is what one refers to as Louisiana French? Or Creole? I don't know, I always get confused about it - But he is a lighter skinned black man from Louisiana - who was not in her, or my own life, for the greater part of it. We had to "rediscover" him after she finally came around and told the story - I faintly remember her finally coming forward about the origins, she kind of paused and she was like "and he, is actually...." and i was like "black?" "Yes" Which I mean is kind of a "DUH." thing since I grew up with a black cousin/uncle. So anyway, she came out light skinned (i just figured we were white people with Puerto Rican origins), and her brother came out dark ("black"), and then she has another brother from a different guy (same mom) who was German but that's another branch. So my dad's side is whatever flavor of Caucasian they happen to be, white people country folks, I hear maybe his dad has Polish, there are even stories about pirates and I'm not really sure, but his mom is also from Louisiana I believe. And we are from Texas. I did some of that ancestry.com digging stuff and to no surprise (but a bit of a revelation), there were slave owners on my dad's side of the family And with another thing to note, his grandpa, my great grandpa, they say, was a Freemason! Which might have something to do with why my life is so weird, but I would have no idea because obviously, I don't know much about it/them, except for the fact that the idea of secret societies weirds me the hell out. So the roots are kind of all over the place, but that's the gist of it Hispanic, black, white, it's kind of a tossup Oh right, those weren't the only children, she has at least two other black siblings, by her dad, but not by her mom, as far as I can remember. I've told all this stuff at least once before, but here it is again --- Form of... A bucket of water! <cite>Soup_or_Science posted [p:950644869] in would you ...
