Call me thick but I never thought of that before :lol:

Mind you, I don't often think about this sort of thing.

(from article):
This is a role for which I am utterly unprepared. Part of me thinks I should be playing sitar music to her in her cot, mastering pakoras and serving them dressed in a sari, but that would be fantastically fake coming from me.

Is it just me or is she being stereotypical aswell as a bit thick and shallow?

Just because she's of partial Indian descent doesn't mean that she's got to "inherit" that life.  She's in Britain, let her be British no matter what her colour.

Maybe a bit.

I can see your point, but I can also see how she might want to give her daughter exposure to Indian as well as British culture, since although she is of British nationality she also has roots in India. This is bound to cause somewhat of an identity crisis for the mother, who may feel duty bound to take on some aspects of Indian culture without knowing very much about it.

I might've missed it in the article itself, but what about the father?  He'll be better as the judge of what Indian heritage he wants the kid to grow up knowing.

Or is the mother on her 3rd husband now? :lol:

Maybe, but I expect the mother would want to be involved in that too. I don't think it would be very healthy for the mother to identify with her daughter as purely British and the father to identify with her purely as Indian, with no crossover.

That's true, I didn't mean it to be as black and white as it sounded (or read even).

Tempted to change the wording of that but sod it.

Horrible, why can't they just be parents of there beautiful child and not worry about what people say. I think when people speak about such things they are actually promoting inequality of the races. My Dad is German, my Mother is German and Polish. I never heard about racism until I was a teen and started watching the new and hearing such rubish. My ex wife was German, Swede, and part American Indian. I never gave it a thought as to the race or mixed status of my four boys. My point is pretty soon we will all be mixed nationality(race) if not already, so maybe we can all get back to being Human and caring for one another.
