Our children look more Caucasian than Asian.
We were in the mall with our first in the stroller, and she was cranky. I don’t remember what she was mad about, but in the course of things she yelled out to my wife, “You’re not my mama!”
We were terrified. Fortunately, either no one heard or else ignored it.
Simply put, Cindy McCain had no idea of what she was doing or what it could bring down on the heads of innocent people. Obviously, she is still living in the America of Dick-and-Jane white-makes-right.
‘They’ say the road to hell is paved with good intentions, but ‘they’ never tell you that it’s too often the good intentions of others that will push you down that road.

My sister is Cambodian. Pushing her around in her stroller, I got stopped a lot at Costco… but instead of Cindy lookalikes, I got people saying “Oh, she looks just like you.” Which… is dumb, but at least dumb in a way that didn’t mean I had the police on me and was trying, albeit ridiculously, to mean well.

That makes me angry beyond words.

My adopted son doesn’t look at all like me, so it’s doubly sickening. And it’s triply sickening…well, just because it’s *that* sickening.

H.D. Thoreau apparently knew Cindy McCain:

If I knew for a certainty that a [wo]man was coming to my house
with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life.
(from WALDEN)
