Ok so here's my question. I have two beautifull children! they are mixed. i am white and their fathers are black. yes i consider myself to be young-i am almost 24. we are coming up to the year 2010-so why in the heck are people still living in the way past?! it's happening more often than not where you see mixed children, but yet so is people and not just older people! making unappropriate comments about my children and any child who is mixed that it is un-fair to our children that us mother's would want to put our own flesh and blood thru that kind of pain and harassment being mixed! and we should stick to our own kind! WOW!!! OMG!!! i can honestly say i didn't know people were still so closed minded and pitafull! my children are beautifull,intelligent children and just because they have a better tan then you doesn't mean you have the right to sit and talk about them!

Hi
I'm a white australian and my husband is a dark arab-australian. When we first started dating we got some funny looks because he is dark. We are expecting our second child and I think mixed raced children are beautiful. People are very jelous at beauty and can only express discuss. I get told my daughter is beautiful all the time. I guess Australia is more open.
Take Care.

I'm not pregnant and I don't have any kids but I know a few people who are mixed race and personally I don't think there's anything wrong with having a mixed race baby cause at the end of the day we all come from the same world and there loads of different people out there and everyone isn't the same colour some can be white, some are Asian some are black and there are mixed like a mix of 2 but that's no different a baby is a baby.

I visited my boyfriend's family this summer, and saw some of his relatives. Two of his uncles are married to Filipino wives, and they all have very gorgeous children. One of my boyfriend's aunts complained to me, said she was mistaken as the babysitter instead of mother to her own children, because her children look more American than Asian. I do feel bad for her. When you have such beautiful children, but sometimes the other people just don't see you as the possible parent.

My son is half Irish and half Chinese, he has light skin and dark blond hair but he has resembled more of my Asian features. But his dad said something that sadden me. I said I wish I could bring my son to China to study Chinese, but I'm a bit concerned that his coloring will differentiate him from his peers and causes difficulties for him. Then he said "Oh trust me, he won't blend in here either." I was a bit hurt by what he said. I always thought America is a multi-cultural nation, which should be more welcoming to differences than other single-culture nations. Perhaps, there are some parts of this nation still require some work on opening minds.

To me, mixed children are a beautiful blend of cultures. They should be accepted and treated equally by all of their cultural communities.

If he looks differennt, it will go one of 2 ways. He will be adored for his difference (most handsome boy in school, every girl all over him) or he will be teased because of his difference. The thing is, kids will tease no matter what. If your kid isn't mixed race, they will tease because he has a crooked nose, his clothes are not the latest style, he farted in class, his name is spelled funny, etc.

I come from a mixed up combined family. I have 2 nieces that are Irish, German, Native American mixes, a niece and nephew that are Welsh, Mexican, and Italian mixture, 3 nephews and a niece that are English, Mexican and Italian mix, 3 nephews that are just plain white, and a niece and nephew that are black, mexican, and italian mix. I just tell them all we are just different shades of brown.

I no what everyone means 1 of my best friends is black and white mixed and here in WA shes not treated any differently, but she said 2 summers ago when she went to visit her family in GA it was a different story and that people gave her weird looks. Which i think is completly wrong!!!
