My mother came to the United States to attend college from Honduras--in the early 60s. She met my father, got married, had three children, and the rest is history. She never spoke Spanish at home, it wasn't "the thing" then; thus I am not bilingual. My mother is very adamant that my children, who are 1/4 Hispanic, should claim they are Hispanic. She feels like she went through a lot in her life, and if that helps them, they deserve it. I never claimed it, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't--and from what I read, 1/4 is considered "Hispanic." LOL, my daughter marked it on her PSAT form last October.
