Stupid comment I got yesterday
I was at a family function for my DH's family. DH is Puerto Rican I am Italian. One of his Aunts who really does not see John at all comes over looks at him and said "he looks too Italian"
ummmm helllllllllo
Is there anything wrong with looking "too Italian"

Maybe because he isnt as dark as DH's nieces or that he has hazel/blue eyes or whatever but according to her "you cant tell he is Spanish"
Ok lady

Re: Stupid comment I got yesterday
I don't really see any harm in that comment. DH is so fair skinned that everytime he looks at a picture of himself he says "who the Irish looking guy in that picture"... And he's half Italian half Irish.
I've gotten people who have asked me "are you greek" when I say no, they are like "oh you look greek" It just depends on the way the comment is said...

The only reason I took offense to it was because of the word "too". What the h e l l is "too Italian"

Re: Stupid comment I got yesterday
First of all I just want to say that your son is absolutely adorable...
Secondly, I am 100% Italian also, and yes I would take offense to that in general, but in all honesty, she probably just thinks he looks more Italian (or more like you than your DH) than Puerto Rican, and she wishes that he looked more PR than Italian. I dont think she meant anything by too Italian and if she did -- so what I think that is a good thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ETA: Italians and Latinas are not that far off in looks anyway most of the time, so that is weird too. I am Italian and ppl think I am Spanish alot. (I am half Sicilian)....
