[quote=Anonymous]They are being super insensitive but also, as is the habit of old folks everywhere, are likely unaware of how you are taking their comments. BTW the whole "mixed kids are the cutest" is a deeply toxic attitude that I wish would go away forever. I think it started as a way of embracing mixed families and their kids but it's not okay anymore. My DC has been teased at school because she's not mixed and all the mixed kids (I feel like half the class is mixed) like to say this a lot (literally "we're cuter because we're mixed race"). It's just another weird form of racism, everyone please stop. Anyway, to the best of your ability, please just ignore your parents. Your family is great. How wonderful for your kids to be able to easily connect to the culture of both of their parents and grandparents, and obviously it's worked out well for your marriage. It's totally normal to marry in race and is no less "interesting" or beneficial than any other marriage.[/quote]
