re: #127 eschew_obfuscation

I think that’s pretty representative of multicultural thought in general. If one is in any way ‘not from here’ or a minority, he/she has a culture. If one is ‘from here’ or a member of the majority/plurality, he/she has no culture and is therefore inferior.

I have seriously considered checking the “other” box on forms that ask for ethnic background. I could argue—quite well—that I am part of a true ethnic minority—the Acadians. My ancestors, via my paternal grandma, were forced, first, out of France and then out of Canada. Think it would work?
