My nephew's wife, Andrea, gave birth to a girl, Esme Vera Quiles, so now I am a great uncle (tío abuelo). My sister married Roberto, a Puerto Rican, so my great-niece is half Puerto Rican, and half black. My own daughter is also biracial (with a Japanese mother). My daughter Julia's husband has a Peruvian mother and a white father. I suspect this experience is typical for my generation of white folks. We had a relatively homogenous ancestry, and then wanted to raise our children not to be racist.
