I feel for your grandparents and I know you are proud they adjusted to "western life" and hopefully prospered. I assume you are implying (indirectly) that my father did not adjust as well, as when he married my mom, he told her his dad was "korean" as he thought, in the 1950's, that would be more acceptable than being an 'indian'. My dad was raised on a reserve in Sask. with an English mother. He has alzheimers now, so sometimes we can get stories out of him, but he did stay pretty quiet most of his life. He was ashamed, and I teach my children that there are problems....lots. But. Be proud.
