[quote=Anonymous]I am not sure anyone has addressed this yet but I assume your daughter presents as black. So in southern VA if someone asks "where are you from" that can be a loaded question. Surely even in the DC area she has dealt with this, unfortunately (and I am sure your DH has too which is why his answer is complicated). She should say she is from DC and can say that she lived just outside DC in Northern VA before that. Some people, rudely or ignorantly, will mean "where is your dad FROM" which you guys should discuss how to approach. She could say "My dad's family is from Ghana" or "Why do you ask?" or anything in between. Good luck with the move. Kids are resilient, and I hope she likes her new city. [/quote]
