Colin-
Thanks and I get what you mean here. I forgot to mention that during my
childhood and adolecence that I also was persecuted for being shy, quiet,
and somewhat feminine in my demeanour. If I had a dime for everytime I was
called queer, faggot, nigger, etc. I could buy peoples tolerance.

If your
natural mom was Spanish then you are mixed (therefore one of us ;-)
that is how i see myself-as mixed. My mother comes from spanish, greek,
african, celtic background, my father from english/irish.
But I take it you are fair skinned, which is something I will never know
what that feels like.
I am not sure what you mean by fair skinned. I ahev balck hari and an olive
skin which if out in the sun goes very dark-dark enough that when I first
came to the UK from Australia, people thought I was asian. However, my skin
is white white as we don't get much sun here(!) and I have no patience for
sun bathing. Besides, i like to look younger than my 20/22 years!
and have learned that loving and
caring for all mankind is the true path to follow.
and the hardest!
