[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 288576, member: 1024"] My grandmother and aunt had a real predjudice about Italians, being the typical white anglo saxon she was. They were not all that thrilled about my dad dating my mom and then she got pregnant. It wasn't pretty! My aunt raised me later, but I'm sure it made it much easier on her that I was more fair skinned and fit in, ya know? My other aunt, OTH, on my mother's side, grew up in the 50's. She had thick black hair and very, very dark skin, especially in the summer. She was treated like any other black american.....she wasn't allowed in the movie theater. She wasn't allowed in the front of the bus. She wasn't allowed to drink from a public water fountain. She only experienced this predjudice in the summer when her skin was deeply tan. I remember her telling me these stories when I was a kid and just being shocked. by the way, I always wanted the brown dolls when I was a kid too. I had a bunch of light dolls, I wanted something different. [/QUOTE]
