This Is My Family - Video Competition

POV has announced the five finalist videos shortlisted for the Audience Award!
Check them out and vote for your favorite: http://www.pbs.org/pov/adoption/audience_award.php

More info about the competition: For most of us, the classic family photo with matching sweaters and look-alike smiles doesn't quite capture our family.

POV wants to hear real stories about your family from you.

Send us your videos, and you might receive an iPad or an iTouch!

Who is your "family"? Maybe your family is your group of friends, or your extended family. You could be an adoptee, an adoptive parent, part of a single-parent family, be an LGBTQ parent or child or a member of a foster family.

Help us expand the definition of "family" by submitting a video - no longer than 5 minutes - to 'This Is My Family.' Check out user-generated videos for ideas, or create something completely new!

Obviously there is no relation between big eyes and being black, which is why I replied the way I did to you. Your comment was so insane and inane, i couldn't let it go.

He's unique? So your comment was to point out his uniqueness? I would buy that if you said something along the lines of "wow, big eyes. nice." But you didn't. Now let's have a truce. If you reply again, i will too and we will flood this page with our useless back and forth. May the fat buddha bless u child.

@lalamango1 honestly, I don't fell that that is an insult, but I put "no racist..." there in case there are people like YOURSELF saying I am, obviously it did the opposite...

I NEVER even meant it to be an insult and never thought of it as one, i think he's unique in that sense. If you think I meant it as an insult, well shame on you for having the same opinion as the media and those pathetic people in the world that agrees

@lalamango1

1. well that's not entirely true, cause unfortunately there are still people out there that will think of that as racist, so im just making a point... I'm so SORRY if it made you assume that that's what i meant /sarcasm meant

2. I just like to state my opinion on what made an impression on me during the video, for me, it's the big eyes, it may not be for you, but i'm just SAYING... I honestly don't know what's wrong... you complaining meaning you think having big eyes is an insult

@GearfriedGeneral25 True.

[GearfriedGeneral25]

@Nhym0 i bet she wouldn't be like that if she stayed in china

@x2sh0rt4ux ...now that you mention it though, I have noticed something strange. The Filipino in America look different than the Filipino I see here, but maybe that's because I've only stayed in Visayas and Mindanao, and most of the Filipino in the States are (seemingly) Tagalog or Ilocano. Even the culture is different between Manila folk, Bisaya, Dabawnon (as opposed to the rest of Mindanao) and United States Filipino.
