[quote=Anonymous]I think it's partially because it's much less typical to see a white woman with an Asian man; usually it's the other way around, so if someone sees an Asian-looking child with a white mom, they usually don't immediately think the husband must be Asian and assume that the child was adopted. I also think in general, people are more prone to approach a mom with nosy questions rather than a dad. I'm an Asian adoptee. I understand how constantly being asked if you're adopted makes you feel like you don't belong. People are curious about families that don't fit the stereotypical make up of same race family...not that it excuses rude questions.[/quote]
