[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] "Proud" is a buy weird Thinking they are beautiful is fine and normal[/quote] My kids are biracial (I am white, spouse not), and when I was pregnant with my second, someone in my family said "hopefully blond hair and blue eyes this time!" I was actually quite offended although I chose to assume (charitably, because she is generally a good person) that she thought I would want to baby to look like me (I have those features) and was cheering for that outcome, as opposed to wanting the baby to be more white. But still pretty offensive! Especially since my older child was already in the picture with dark brown hair, brown eyes, and tan skin. Anyway, turned out the younger one had brown hair/brown eyes too (and couldn't be cuter).[/quote]
