[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is AA. Her sadness about historical treatment, segregation, limited opportunities for her older relatives is understandable. [/quote] +1 this makes more sense than focusing on their not traveling My parents are immigrants from a developing country. Much of our family there now is doing well and they travel etc. my grandparents generation definitely not, most never got on a plane. But I don't think they were unhappy or had a sense of missing out. Life was on the upswing in terms of things getting better and the next generation doing better. Life was hard but that was the norm. Not like here where the material standard of living is unimaginably high even for the average person but people are somehow unhappy and most feel like it's not enough. Being oppressed through segregation and discrimination is a very different experience and harm though.[/quote]
