It's Hitting home

Just heard from my ex-daughter in law. My grandson came home from school yesterday fearful and not wanting to return. You see, this tall handsome kid with three Irish-American grandparents, looks "Mexican" as he said. Yes he resembles his maternal grandfather! A very handsome gentleman whose family was in Texas before it was a state! The Irish roots only go back to the turn of the last century. ICE came to his town and pulled people out of his school. He's afraid, and his very waspish name might not keep him from being challenged and detained. We're scared. No way to stop this. No one to trust. The fact that his dad served this country for a decade and was Special Forces means nothing! We can't let down the protest! Please don't let them win!

So It's Hitting home

Just heard from my ex-daughter in law. My grandson came home from school yesterday fearful and not wanting to return. You see, this tall handsome kid with three Irish-American grandparents, looks "Mexican" as he said. Yes he resembles his maternal grandfather!

He's afraid, and his very waspish name might not keep him from being challenged and detained. We're scared. No way to stop this. No one to trust.

FIFY.

They always have to make themselves part of the story.

Here in my little corner of the real world:

* Most of the several hundred men and women in the building in which I work are east, southeast, and south Asians. None have disappeared, none have expressed fear, and none look nervous. For that matter, the founder of my company is a naturalized citizen east Asian, and he is going about his business very openly and freely.

* The executive pastor of my church is Korean, and among the staff pastors are a Korean, an Iranian, and an Indian, that I'm aware of. They are doing there ministry things very openly and freely.

* Among the members of our home group are a Singaporean and a Taiwanese couple. None have expressed fear or nervousness.

So either the subject is reflecting Prog university fear-mongering or it's fiction.
