[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not racist to wonder about it, but it IS racist to think that certain shades/features are preferable or better.[/quote]

Like being proud of your baby's blue eyes?[/quote]

Yes, exactly that (which is racist and super weird). Wondering about it in terms of curiosity (like I wonder if s/he's going to get mommy's nose! daddy's bone structure!) is fine and normal. But hoping for certain light features is messed up and weird. And I say this as someone who grew up in a biracial family (white with blue eyes, and brown Asian).[/quote]
I'm Asian and honestly I'm confused by all this stuff. I think if we as a nation really sat down and had a talk about it, we could understand. There are certain things such a having a small cute nose in Asia that are seen as more preferred. I'm really honestly pissed off about the how you look thing right now. We don't choose to be born one way or another. It's just how we are born, why so much focus on something we cannot innately control!! It's maddening.[/quote]
