I love the answer you gave others! That was what was so intriguing about this exhibit--that people's concept of what is "normal" and what people "are" is ever-shifting. My family is of Danish heritage, and I had to laugh because on one of the portraits, a young hapa boy said he was part Danish but didn't like to tell people that because they always thought he meant he was a pastry! I think, perhaps, your grandmother's alternative term is the most beautiful, though. Have you seen the exhibit? If not, you would probably enjoy it immensely. Check when they're taking the polaroids so you can add yourself! There's also a great companion book to the exhibit that would be fun to share with students.
