How many of you have “Anchor Babies” in your family background?

I suspect an awful lot of us come from anchor babies and I think it is a shame that this term is considered an epithet. Rather than coming up with a new term, why not co-opt it by using it in a positive way and give it, proud connotation. Otherwise it will always remain in the word arsenal of bigotry, just another term used to denigrate people often less fortunate than ourselves – Yeah, like we need another term for that. One way to co-opt this term is to tell the story of the anchor babies in your family line. If you’ve found what could be anchor babies in the story of your family, please tell the story as I have done in the first post below. These are always a good read.
