[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a white man offer me a considerable sum to reproduce with him. I was taking my then three-month-old son for a stroll when the man approached me.  He was a well dressed businessman on his lunch break.  He was perfectly nice at first, cooing over my son, which I found unusually sweet for a man.  We made small talk about our professions and what maternity leave was like for me and his nieces and nephews etc.

After a couple of minutes of conversation, he asked if my son is mixed race, which he is (I am African, DH is Jewish), and then asked how old my son is.  He remarked my son was a very "attractive" and "well formed" baby, and that I had maintained my figure very well.  And then he made the offer, saying he believes in hybrid vigor and that, my genes mixed with his would produce a truly superior baby.

Mind you, this was an attractive and apparently cultured man who could presumably find a woman, and I was wearing my wedding ring.  In what world would a married professional woman want to act as surrogate?

I got up and walked away, taking the long way home and looking over my shoulder several times.[/quote]

Just pointing out that Jewish is not a race. [/quote]

PP. African is not a race either. It should be obvious to you that, by including two descriptors neither of which are races, I was intending to be specific about our backgrounds.[/quote]
