Dear Mario, Its been very interesting to read your views on this thread. I was a bit surpised there were so many Goan-North Americans with contrary views.
In your opinion, are 2nd generation Goan-North Americans less/more aware of their culture and language as compared to say 2nd or 3rd generation Italian-Americans or Irish Americans or Polish-Americans(in the USA). I wonder if this differs for the same communities in Canada. The way you described your children and their connection to Goa is exactly the way other "assimilated" immigrant communities have evolved the world over. Some netters have termed it as "trying to look and act caucasian" which seems a bit unfair. I have spoken to only a few Indian-Americans my age about this. Their views more or less matched yours (regarding their Indian-ness).
