[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I feel like if I choose America I would be mocking those who really do have a cultural identity outside of the US. I asked because you have to submit your country prior to the event. But surely I’m not the only one with this problem? What about American Indians or African Americans who can’t pinpoint a country? I noticed there weren’t any AAs represented at the last multicultural night and I figure they don’t feel welcome either.

Why can’t it be “ancestry night” or similar so that it’s not tied to a country? I had some very interesting ancestors! [/quote]

IME people who are more than a generation or two out don’t display at these sort of events. If you feel a strong objection then you should get involved with your PTO and have your voice be heard.

This clearly is a big deal to those who plan it and I concur that you showing up as Texas after they clarified exactly what the event was would be insensitive at a minimum. Your daughter will not be looked upon kindly if you try to impose your desire on an event you didn’t plan or organize.

And while I get she might be disappointed, not everything is about her. This is one of those things where she is meant to be a spectator and enjoy learning about others. [/quote]
