I was also suprised to learn, as my husband told me, that there are some Berbers who are more pale and blonde than I

Still havent seen it, but that is what he says.

I agree that if the prospect of work wasnt NIL for us in Morocco and I didnt have children here, I would have no qualms about living there.

I like it there. And it isnt just Morocco that I would prefer to live, even though I love and respect my country, there are too many places in the world to explore. We may think US is the end all be all but believe me we have alot to learn from life abroad.

I know a moroccan jew who was born in morocco and he is blondeish, dirty blonde with blue eyes!

I can't believe the embassy would say stuff too! OK well, now I"m getting to the point that I am not surprised by anything the embassies do anymore.

Lizziebits,

That's a great attitude - your positive take on using your intercultural relationship to educate is inspiring! Thanks for sharing and I'll try to remember to take that approach in the future, because you are right that most people aren't trying to be mean they are just genuinely ignorant. Reducing cultural and linguistic ignorance in our oqn country the USA would be revolutionary!! and I think it will have a big positive impact both in the US and around the world....

Just got the letter that our petition is at the national centre... should be on its way to France soon!

Best wishes to everybody!
