heritage

both michelle Rodriguez and linda Chavez were very open about their heritage, and embraced it. even after dealing with racism as a child, linda Chavez grew closer to her heritage. and michelle's father's side looked down on her mother's because they were light skinned. however, Adrian Grenier was a little different. at first he didn't embrace his hispanic heritage because his father wasn't hispanic and even though his mother was, she distanced herself from her deep roots in new mexico when he was a baby,and she was the one who raised him. she often focused on her native american roots, instead. so Adrian was comfortable with part apache, part caucasian. later on he learned that one of his ancestors was one of don juan de onate's men, and took part in the horrible punishment of the acoma people. when he learned this, he was somewhat ashamed but got passed it because he knew it was a long time ago. if I were to closely research my family, i don't think i would find anything suprising on my mom's side. but, if I were to research my father's side I think i would be surprised because i have never met him, and i know nothing about his heritage.
