It's not the language, it's the living arrangements, and the lack of employment, and the willingness to exploit Elian, and the hospitalizations, and The Fisherman seems to me completely unsavory- have you seen this man? He's got several ex-wives. He seems fairly unstable. Now I don't guarantee "they" (whoever you want to include in the they) wouldn't qualify as foster parents or adoptive parents- but I'd be willing to be money that they wouldn't. <p> You want to make it about race- that's a good tactic. That's what was done in the OJ case. Try to whip up folks into a fury about race and you obscure the real issue. The real issue is PERSONAL fitness, not cultural identity. It's not MY fault I know so much about these people- but they exposed themselves for the media. When you exploit the media it exploits you back- and you (or THEY) reveal stuff that is quite embarrassing. I'm sorry for them. But this ONE very strange "family" brought this on themselves. And it has nothing to do with race or nationality.
