[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]not racist. Mixed family here and we wondered.

BUT, if the (already confirmed) racist side is expressing that sentiment, yes it's racist. [/quote]

So basically only white people can't do it?[/quote]

There are some things that [i]certain groups of people [/i]can’t do because of their history of bigotry and otherism against Black people.

Do you also want to be able to say the N-word?

You people are ridiculous.

So, yes. Thank you. Just say it plainly.

White people, if your relative marries someone of a different race, do not speculate about what the child will look like at all.[i] Ever.[/i]  [/quote]

That’s not always true.  I’m dark hair and skinned (purposefully not saying race) and all of us wondered what the babies would look like.  It’s normal.   I didn’t get offended by my MIL wondering if they would have my husband’s light blond hair and blue eyes.   It would be odd if she didn’t wonder or bring out his baby photos around the time of my first pregnancy.   It turns out mine had my complexion and look so much like me.  But there are plenty of kids in the extended family with light hair and with light eyes and look more like the spouse.  You never know.  [/quote]

But PP said white people can't do it, so that's that.[/quote]

I also said get over it, so you might want to try that, too.[/quote]
