| As someone whose BFF is looking for fourth spouse from the same race, religion and culture, i say ignore naysayers. |

My parents, in the 70s, got together. One was white European, the other east Asian. They didn't even have a common language when they met, let alone a common religion or culture. Yet they have plenty of things in common: similar ideas about finances and parenting. I was born in 1980 in Europe, and for the longest time was the only mixed child in the schools I attended. No one ever commented on the mixed origin, since it was so beyond people's experience that it just did not factor at all. There was no teasing, bullying, no comments whatsoever. My parents were highly recognizable walking down the street, since they were the only mixed couple, but they were never criticized. It helped that my father knew to play on people's perceptions, and made a point of being courteous and well-dressed. And now, in my 40s, after marrying someone from yet another culture, and having very genetically-mixed children, I come on DCUM and find people questioning mixed relationships, and I'm just floored. This was my normal all my life. How can people still have doubts that mixed marriages work?!? |

No fighting over where to spend the holidays!
It signals to other people that you’re most likely not a racist jerk |
You should have added: Signed by, the woman you see at Applebee's whose butt takes up two bar chairs. |
---signed, just another sleazy white dude with an Asian fetish. |
| Most presidential children are in interfaith relationships or marriages, including Biden, Trump, Obama, G Bush and Clinton. |
This definitely isn't true and your first sentence is both stupid and creepy. |
What? Cute kids are creepy? |
| It looks like racists have arrived. |
Fetishizing mixed children is wrong and creepy. |
| Humans looking beyond their differences give me hope for a better future. |
Not everyone has an ugly mind. |
Looks like we have a dumbass. For the nber of posters who claim to be highly educated and boast about degrees from Ivy schools there's a ridiculous amount of idiotic comments such as this one and the one you're defending. |
Let me break it down for you. Mixed kids are no cuter than non mixed kids. They are not more special. People like you who focus on their mixed status are either creeps are overcompensating for their racists attitudes by making such ridiculous beliefs. As someone with mixed kids in her family this othering of them needs to stop |
