People dont accept that and well say yes but what was your father, I always want to say a human. For me the perfect answer comes from the show Third Rock from The Sun the alien character tells his son to tell everyone hes a cargo-american since we are all carbon based life forms. You look great in vintage and obviously there are beauties of all ethnic background from all eras and all are fabuloustubby3pughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01315017048832512111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4374594538719761301.post-87801141438890224982016-06-14T07:30:09.924-04:002016-06-14T07:30:09.924-04:00A resounding standing ovation is coming your way, ...A resounding standing ovation is coming your way, dear Daffny. You hit so many important nails on the head here and I really commend you for speaking so candidly and reminding us all that vintage beauty - then and now - transcends ethnicity or skin colour. <br /><br />xoxo ♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4374594538719761301.post-69222909989994043322016-06-13T20:24:22.098-04:002016-06-13T20:24:22.098-04:00Thanks for sharing your opinions on this, it broug...Thanks for sharing your opinions on this, it brought up some interesting points I don't think about much in my everyday life. Although some people do seem quite obsessed with guessing ethnicities. I am white anglo-saxon and people have tried to come up with other options for me. Maybe it's because I have an unusual name? I think I get more comments now that I'm married and my last name is less British too!Tanithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09915557658875958630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4374594538719761301.post-7229184938354479442016-06-11T12:14:18.441-04:002016-06-11T12:14:18.441-04:00SO,TRUE!

When I started wearing vintage I finally found myself and embraced my nerdy geeky side too. On one side of my family they are mixed Europeans (no French blood)and the other half is from Central America. Growing up I lived in a Spanish neighborhood. I think that is one of the reasons why I identify more with being Latino. I also noticed photos of me as a little kid to my eyes I looked more Latino, I had very light brown skin and people would ask me if I was Polish (no Polish blood either). I do adore the European American side of my family, this side of my family are Southerners and I just adore their southern accents. Because of this I noticed that I do have a slight southern and mixed with Latino accent. <br />At my job Spanish translation is sometimes needed. Its interesting to see when a Spanish speaker who is learning English tries to talk to me and I'll do a 360 and start talking to them in the little amount of Spanish that I know their eyes get wide and they are more comfortable speaking.

I understand how you feel, I come from Mexican and Middle Eastern decent, but I'm the fairest skin of all my sisters and have blue eyes, so some people just don't see it. What gets me more is that America was built on the blending of cultures. Somewhere in our linage there is bound to be a variety of races and cultures, whether we know about them or not. Anyways, I did enjoy the Buzz feed video and think it's great to see vintage styles on all types of beauties. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts on this topic.
