wrapping up OR more final thoughts

Phew. Just finished my paper and I know it is too long. I've spent the last day trying to cut it down but I don't know where to cut anymore.

There were other things I thought about this weekend while writing it that would have been interesting to write about here:

- my kids are exposed to a lot more cultural diversity than I ever was. My secondary school had two brown people and one black. My kids have grown up nextdoor to many different cultures and don't even think about it. I can still remember how many 'non-whites' there were in my school. Will they?

- my daughter loves to listen to Kim and Jerry Brodey's music about diversity. They are two Canadian children's performers who sing and perform anti-racist music and theatrics. It never occured to me how great an impact this has on her.

- do they feel any belonging to any cultural group? Do I?
