Even my family has changed along with the country. Among my grandfather's grandchildren, one of my cousins is married to a Mexican-American woman. I am engaged to and have a son with a Kenyan woman.

Ironically, my son is only 2. He was pro-Obama even before he has literally an African and American grandchild. It has just completed his journey.
