But may I add that your answer in its earnestness - and do not get me wrong - struck me as remarkable "unamerican" ? Whatever that is supposed to mean ...

Is your husband Arab then ?
Ah Ramon, ever the gentleman!

How was my answer 'unamerican'? Let me assure you I'm not offended by that statement, simply curious as to the reason/meaning of it?

No, my husband is not Arab. He's an american of Onandaga Indian, Scottish/Irish decent from Syracuse NY. He did his undergrad work in Arabic though, and after spending 6 months in Egypt to perfect his Arabic, he joined Peace Corps. I met him while he was at the end of his PC tour in Yemen, and I was at the beginning of mine.

More detail than you probably wanted! ha!
