I read you here and at Parenting and I think your posts are amazing. I don’t think you got the job because you are a minority, I think it’s because you area great writer, and you are an inspirational mom.

I agree - cross post it with KM but more parents (and people in general) need to understand this too. Hope you get lots of readers today.

Beautiful job. I hope you post the link over at Kimchi Mamas.

I felt the same way posting on BlogRhet–a little intimidated and exposed. But Beloved is write, Parenting is EXACTLY where this needs to be.

But Parenting is exactly where this post belongs! I understand why you’d feel more comfortable with it on Kimchi Mamas, but I hope that more and more people will be able to understand how minorities feel when these types of slurs are used instead of telling them to “get over it” or acting like it shouldn’t be a big deal. You’re my hero, halfmama!

the image of you, standing with your father and facing those young ignorant girls is absolutely haunting… i want to say so much, but i’m absolutely speechless… your painful memories brought mine to the surface (not a bad thing)…

you and your post’ll be on my mind all day.
