Dear Dolores:

My brother is dating a Latina of mixed racial background. She looks black but is really Puerto Rican, Dominican and Jamaican. Is it okay for my 100 percent Mexican brother to date her?

—Chicana on the Web

Dear Chicana:

I can’t believe I’m answering this question again! What’s the matter with you? How can we, as Latinos, expect respect for diversity from society at large if we are unable to respect it and celebrate it among ourselves? If your brother loves this beautiful girl and wants to date her, he doesn’t need your—or my—approval. Thank God love is still blind.

—Enough already! Caramba! D
