[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Mother’s (85) ancestry is Syrian-Lebanese and Turkish…but so many generations ago that this distinction has been largely forgotten (first generation changed the family surname) in the interest of integrating, gaining employment and not facing discrimination. It was very important to my ancestors to “pass” and census records have them recorded as White. Therefore, White we are and pretty much always have been. My family, like so many, need to have an “I can explain” or asterisk next to the box or at least a few lines where we can include an interesting narrative! [/quote] And they reaped the benefits of being white.[/quote]
