This is a very moving post, and resonates not so much for me as for my Other Half. His mother is Puerto Rican, his father half Italian, half German, and yet he looks, well, Anglo, as the word is used in the Southwest. And as much as he jokes about it, and I do as well (we sometimes joke that between that and my own dark eyes, brown hair, and easy of tanning, we're going to pop out a little Latina, and everyone will think I slept with the mailman), I know it's sometimes more than a little discordant for him to be Latino without any recognizable "markers," so to speak.
