[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s normal? Didn’t see the Chris Rock skit, but I’m married into a family that has dark skin (not being specific on purpose!), and they wondered how our babies would look. We all did! It’s natural to be curious! Now if it’s a racist family and they’re making cutting remarks that’s a different story.. context matters like the other PP said.[/quote]

I’m dark skinned Hispanic and my husband is white. We all wondered who skintone our kids would take but it wasn’t in a negative context, so I agree that context matters.[/quote]

+1 DH and I are both POC but different races. We wondered about it and we talk about it (kids are little and their appraisal changing and they look different from each other). It's not in a bad way. But I recognize it can be.

The Oprah reaction to Meghan's "revelation" was so orchestrated. And Harry recanted the claim that it was racist in his Bradby interview, now that he's discovered the new jargon of "unconscious bias."[/quote]
