[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are half and half, and maybe people would refer to them as POC but I don’t think in those terms. They’re just American. Their ethnicity is mixed. Half Indian and half all the mixed/Europeanish things I have on my side. [/quote]

My kids are also half and half, and I do think in those terms.  They are mixed, but no one would call the Caucasian (i.e. white).   The world will see them as having "color" and I have raised them to recognize that.[/quote]
+1  my kids are half east Asian, half white. [b]The world will treat them based on their looks, which is not white.[/b]  [/quote]

But I don’t see this as a detriment. Yes, they will not be seen as “white”.....but I can’t think of one example in which they would suffer because of this.  Maybe bc I live in a diverse area with every shade of brown and tan. My daughters have friends and classmates of every ethnicity and race, and they’re all mixed or from Iran or Korea or India or Poland or wherever.
