All I have to say is never assume anything about anyone. What looks white may not be white and what looks black may not be black.tnt5150http://www.blogger.com/profile/03781044201065435917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510057136112838617.post-31217117360763309272009-09-12T15:51:52.716-04:002009-09-12T15:51:52.716-04:00Quiskaeya,<br /><br />My children are the ones who drive me crazy, who make me laugh, who make me smile w/their intellect (:)), who I love to death, and not typically my bi-racial children, which I know they are. Sometimes, I&#39;m like Nikki (Blasian Baby) and tire of hearing it and then other times I like watching people struggle to getting around to asking what they really want to know. Usually, I just answer and move on. I&#39;m all for asking questions if you want to know things (because I will ask), but I do try to be tactful. Unfortunately, everyone isn’t as well schooled.<br /><br />All I ask is if you ask such personal questions of me, then be ready for the answers as well as the questions I may have for you (oh, that can be fun) and be careful about your wording because my kids are not freaks.Milk and Honey Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15155906474217382431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510057136112838617.post-5934281602914657242009-09-12T12:12:09.911-04:002009-09-12T12:12:09.911-04:00I just love theses cashiers that always have a comment on our kids. Seriously lady just ring up my tab so I can go home and feed said kid. LOL<br /><br />Anyway, Great topic for a post. I could comment on so much but then i&#39;d blow your comment section out. LOL.

I can totally relate and it&#39;s amazing how genetically different two kids from the same parent can be.<br /><br /> My daughters are biracial (Mexican &amp; Black) and I encounter that same exact scenario just about once a week. I laughed when you said you knew the question was burning in her mind. There have been a lot of times when someone asks me and I&#39;m thinking, &quot;I could just tell he/she was going to ask.&quot;<br /><br />My girls are just like your boys. My youngest has the typical &quot;obvious&quot; biracial look while it&#39;s a little harder to see on my older one. We don&#39;t focus on the race in our household, but we do focus on &quot;self&quot;. You are right in that the most important thing is that they are comfortable in their own skin.Shaun Metzgerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13190101183108325313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510057136112838617.post-14844957218611813822009-09-12T03:01:15.342-04:002009-09-12T03:01:15.342-04:00Ridiculous questions/observations on her part.

God bless you &amp; your family. I&#39;m coming from a family that&#39;s basically mixed with everything &amp; does it matter no not at all. I agree with the other posters, this cashier was totally rude to ask this question. Your better then me because I wouldn&#39;t have given such ignorance an answer. I can&#39;t understand for the life of me why people have to define a person by color. Are they thinking from their backsides or what!?!? <br /><br />ShelleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510057136112838617.post-73597743452862490962009-09-08T19:16:46.963-04:002009-09-08T19:16:46.963-04:00Here here - a great post that makes you think!

I am mixed race: Irish, English, Mexican, Native American, French-but because I look white no one asks what my race is. I find people ask the dumbest questions sometimes. My grandson (adopted) has some black blood somewhere but who the heck cares what his race is-he&#39;s Chris, that&#39;s all.<br /><br />Why does one group have to prove that they&#39;re as good as another? The real acceptance will come when nobody thinks about the differences in others but accepts them without thinking about it.<br /><br />Don&#39;t know if this rant made sense-hope so.Martyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12869205085727011059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510057136112838617.post-51162680454887943342009-09-08T15:30:56.614-04:002009-09-08T15:30:56.614-04:00What a fantastic post!!
