Re: Culture / Ethnicity
My father is a draft dodging American. Don't know his exact heritage, neither does he.
My mother was a dutch citizen who was born in Indonesia and immigrated to Canada when she was 3ish.
I was grown up in a pretty "alternative" (ie hippy) lifestyle. I started going to to political/social protests when I was a small child. I atteneded an "alternative" school until Junior high. My mom openly smoked pot infront of me before I even knew what it was. My social upbringing affects my life, politics, and how I view society greatly.
My parents "background", ie. heritage, has very little affect on my life. Besides me calling my grandma, "oma" and a couple of family trips to Holland.... not much.
