Scott Russel Sanders explains in "The Men We Carry In Our Minds"': "The difference between me and these daughters was that they saw me, because of my sex, destined from birth to become like their fathers, and therefore as an enemy to their desires" (23). People are getting jugded too easily based on gender race and their background. People have to be open minded, not depending on their backgrounds

For different reasons, people come from all over the world to the USA with the idea of improving their lives. Those people are trained according to their culture and context, and have in mind to educate their children according to the principles they received. They have no idea how a different country with a different culture will influence their children, and that is the challenge. Persis Karim expressed her difficulty in her poem Hybrid: “My father reminded me that I was too American. (…) Did he mean, I don’t respect your parents, tell them everything, don’t sleep with a boy before marriage, don’t give yourself easily? (15)” Usually, the most valuable for parents are their children, and there is a natural instinct to protect them. Some societies are more conservative than others, and when people from those societies come to America they begin the conflict with this very relaxed moral system. For these people, America corrupts their children and influences them in ways that are undesirable for parents. This is where the tiring battle between the ideology of parents and the new ideology that children acquire begins. Herein lies the claim and the reproach that her father makes to Persis Karim when he says, “You are too American”.
