My ethnic heritage became important to me when I was in second grade. My parents told me that I was "...mostly Scottish and French." I asked my mother what I was LEAST and she replied, "Chinese."
Quite truly, the next day at show and tell I announced to the class that I was a very small bit Chinese.
