[QUOTE="donna723, post: 288273, member: 1883"] Yep, that email is totally offensive! Not the brightest bulb in the box, is she? Maybe Jamie married her because, compared to the [I]first[/I] one, she looked good to him! But I remember back when I was a kid and we moved to Florida in the late 50's ... the term 'cracker' was used a lot and hadn't yet been picked up and turned into a derogatory slur. Back then, people called [I]themselves[/I] 'Florida crackers' all the time, but it meant a native Floridian, someone who was born there, at a time when so many had migrated there from somewhere else. I think I would be upset at her attitude too because it sounds like she's dropping not-so-subtle hints that she thinks Keyana may not be what you say she is, or even that she thinks maybe she's not Cory's biological child? Either way, it's very crude of her to constantly be making comments on Keyana's racial background! Why does she even care? I hope Keyana is being taught to be proud of her Indian heritage! I have a tiny bit of Indian blood on my side but we didn't know it until we were adults. I take great pride in it. Apparently, my Missouri grandfather's grandmother was Indian, which would have made him one-fourth, and us one-sixteenth? Not much but it's there. You would never believe that my blue eyed, red-haired, German grandpa was one-fourth Indian, but he was. [/QUOTE]
