My family and I will be moving to Fort Collins in summer of 2008. My daughter will be three then. My husband, my step-son and I are mostly Caucasian, but we look 100% white :) My daughter is 1/2 Mexican, but looks 100% Mexican. In the area we live now (rural southern community) there is a great deal of bad sentiment towards Hispanics, specifically Mexicans. Many times we have gone places, my daughter has recieved dirty looks and/or comments. Not saying everyone here feels badly towards Hispanics, but there are quite a few. I am hoping since Hispanics have a long history in Colorado that sentiment towards them there would be better than here. Which leads me to my questions.
How are Hispanics (specifically Mexicans) thought of in the Fort Collins/Denver Area?
Is it very usual to see a white mother with a Hispanic looking child in the Fort Collins/Denver Area?
Do you think my child will be looked at as "different" there as she is here?
