Marrying out (multicultural relationships)

I wrote a post recently about multiculturalism and mentioned that I had contributed to an article that was going to be published about Latinas marrying Non-Latinos. Now, while I'm not a Latina, and my husband IS a Latino, you may think that this does not include us, but in a way it does. We are in an interethnic and multicultural relationship (marriage). Consequently, the author of the article was interested in hearing my voice in regards to the issue of "marrying out" and included my input when publishing the article on NewLatina.net. 


I believe the article is interesting and informative, giving the viewpoints of people in multicultural relationships, and I think everyone should check it out (especially if you're in such a relationship). It's refreshing to read about the similarities that we have, regardless of our race, ethnicity, culture, or religion. And as the article states, "One thing is for sure:  our innate tendency is to move towards where the heart feels content, excited and peaceful…"

Is Brazil a Racial Paradise?

The concept of race in Brazil is quite different from that in the United States. Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. explains this all very thoroughly and effectively in his latest PBS program as he explores the "rainbow nation" that is Brazil. Here is a clip of the show that aired last night. A link to the entire show can be found at the bottom of this post.

Watch the full episode. See more Black in Latin America.
