The only thing I automatically do is love my grandchildren.
That's not what DeltaBetaBaby is saying. It's truly great that your grandchildren in your situation will have recs/legacy status - it's wonderful for them! But historically, people of color have not had the same opportunities to become members of historically white GLOs as white people. Therefore, as a whole, they have fewer opportunities to be legacies/find recs. It's an institutional issue, not an individual one.
