Hi! My character's name is Damian Cancino and he's a mexican-american living in the bay area (northern California) in current time, 2017. My question is: am i whitewashing his family? If so, what can I do to change that? Currently, this is my set up: Damian's an only child. He has a mother and a father who both work comfortable jobs that land them in a middle class area. Unfortunately, due to their jobs, they never had time for Damian, and he ended up being ignored and left alone a lot. (1/2)

2/2) Damian, as a result, doesn’t know much about his family. They celebrate normal mexican holidays, but not extensively. More like a little “happy cinco de mayo” and that’s it. He also wasn’t raised religiously, so he doesn’t know much of anything about Christianity or Catholicism. His grandparents were born in Cali, so he’s the third? generation? I think. Anyways, the point is that he acts very stubborn and apathetic due to his parents ignoring him, but i feel like this is whitewashing him.

Am I Whitewashing my Characters (Mexican American, Busy Parents)?

For what its worth, both my parents worked, but we still spoke Mandarin at home; I went to Chinese school until I was 17 (including summer classes); and if babysitters were necessary, we looked to Chinese/Taiwanese friends, first. 

Also, while we can’t go all-out with new year and mid-autumn holidays here, we still observe them, you know? Even if both parents are working, if they can afford to have a middle-class life in the Bay Area of all places (source: family living there), they can probably afford to give the kid either a babysitter? Or family friends? Or neighbors? Because I wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving the kid home alone for extended periods until say, 11 at the youngest. 

Also, yes, Christianity is v. ubiquitous. My public high school taught the Bible as literature (that last part “as literature” was emphasized quite a bit), and if you learn about Western civilization, as I had to, we learned about Christianity. But even without that, it’s like–Christmas and Easter sales are advertised on TV/media, you know?

There’s gotta be a way to write a resentful “my parents were never there for me” middle class or rich kid situation without also taking the kid completely out of his  culture, if that makes sense – ok first of all, who raised this kid? If he’s a middle class kid with two working parents, he had a babysitter until he was at least eight or nine. Was she Mexican? Is he the only Mexican kid in his peer group? What about his teachers? Knowing that he’s Mexican, does he pay attention to those parts when they get to the history of California in school? Does he ever get shit from the white kids, or treated like he’s automatically working class when he’s not, just because he’s Mexican?

His parents might be distracted, but do they speak Spanish at home? Does he speak any Spanish? Does he resent not speaking Spanish, as my disconnected-from-roots Cuban friend with the white mom does?

If the endgame you want is a stubborn and bitter kid, I think you can pull that off without whitewashing him, if that’s even the right setup
