Interracial Marriage

<p>My stepmom is African American and my father and i are both Caucasian/mid-eastern... It's an intersting family. I have three half siblings and they are just beautiful. It's a shame that at the moment there are so few biracial families. But every time i see another one i can't help but smile. I cracked up this weekend when a waitress asked us if we were on one check or not. I guess the country just isn't used to the idea yet.</p>

<p>Almost everytime I go shopping with my mom she'll be buying something and I'm standing extremely close by her and there's always a voice "I can help you over here".
heh</p>

<p>Hah, this is kinda cool.
so today I was at dairy queen's getting an icecream cuz it was soo-oo-oo hot . . and the waitress looked like a chinese girl but had BLONDE hair and GREEN eyes. But I mean, she really looked chinese, eyes, facial structure, etc . . . . so I asked her casually, and she said "yeah I'm part chinese", and was about to tell me more but was called to the back. It was pretty cool though :)</p>

<p>Oh and I know another girl that lives in cali who's 1/4 korean, with blonde hair, green eyes, and you can only tell the korean part by her eyes, a little . . she speaks korean too!</p>

<p>we're a biracial family too, no big deal though, not like there's any conflicts or anythign. . . . so i have middle-eastern/european/african blood in me =)</p>

<p>Look at [this[/url</a>] biracial girl! Mixing of genes gives such pretty results.</p>

<p>But yeah, they are pretty common, I think I saw 4 interracial couples at the store today? Soon this entire country will be beige anyway :rolleyes:</p>

<p>I am a product of a black mother-white father marriage. I look something close to a Brazilian.</p>

<p>Interracial marriages don't seem like a big deal to me. Because more people are doing it. I think it's more of the older generations and the parents that have to problem with it, but younger kids don't. Little kids especially don't necessarily notice the differences until they get older. And also only be society as a whole makes it a point to talk about these differences all the time.</p>

<p>But I think biracial kids are gorgeous. I like the black-white mix. But have you ever seen a white-black-asian-hispanic mix? Maybe it will be more common in a couple years haha :).</p>

<p>no i totally agree with Wished<em>Upon</em>A_* a lot of people are looking for inter-racial marriages because the kids tend to be beautiful--just drop dead gorgeous. Im a product of a hispanic-white marriage.</p>

<p>Hispanic-white? That's interracial? If by Hispanic you mean Mexican, then aren't many of them mestizos in the first place? And if you mean Hispanic you mean Spanish, aren't a fair number of them mixed with North African blood?</p>

<p>ok but even if they are mixed with North African blood thats still different than white. but then again white is such a broad term. I DUNNO!</p>

<p>My husband is American/Caucasian and I’m South American. It’s not any different than dating someone of the same race, except he gets free Spanish tutoring. But truly, it’s no big. When winter is here, we both get cold. When we stub our toes, we both say “@%@$%@$!”, and so on.</p>
