interracial couples and/or babies..
Hi. My husband is puerto rican and black and I'm sicilian and native american. Being together we've experienced so much more racism.. some ppl say its not racism but u know when ur getting the dirty looks that's what their doing.. ppl stare, give looks, and say nasty things. We live in washington state. I was jus wondering if anyone else experiences or notices this kind of judgment and what state their in. I feel like ppl treat u different when u have children with some color.. like ur sopposed to be less intelegent or be a single mom because of it.. its 2011 I thought all that was abolished a long time ago. lemme know what y'all think...

My husband works for a fincial company and is way more educated then the person who posted it. Some people take sterotypes to extreme. I am just sad that i'm bringing my baby into a world where people still think like that.
First there was the gas station stop for munchies and gas. An old man missed a step as I reached over to hold his hand. The woman at the pizza stand made direct eye contact with me the entire time he ordered. We only broke eye contact when she asked me a question and I looked at him to see what he wanted. People stared so hard I would've thought he was a green skinned Martian.
Then, at my greatgrandma's viewing, he was the only non white in the city. All of my cousins blatantly stared. Some didn't talk to him. It was so awkward and uncomfortable. I sent out wedding invitations to my aunts, but I don't expect any of them to attend. Not that I'm disappointed.
I was afraid that my grandma and grandpa would come with my cousin. The grandparents would have been fine, I'm not embarrassed of my white trash roots and family. But my cousin has serious issues ... he could write a memoir that makes Running With Scissors and Glass Castle look tame. But he would've cracked Mexican jokes the entire time. And my man is Guatemalan, just to ice the insult to that racist cake. But my mom helped them realize that it isn't worth it. Bless her heart.
Fortunately, we live in Northern Virginia, part of the DC Metro area, where I think whites might actually be a minority. At least the demographics are close, and the racism isn't so obvious. Or at least one-sided.
The sad thing is..im mixed! Moms White & dads black! Grew up with only my black family and always hung around black people. But..im very fair skinned to be mixed. I look white. So me & my boyfriend(hes black of course) are in McDonalds. I go to the bathroom & come back and my bf tells me these black girls made a comment "all the white bitches always takin our fine men".. Im not even white! Ignorance.
I use to club all the time. My friends are black, I hang around blk ppl so obviously we go to black clubs. I always used to get the dirtiest looks from girls when I danced with the guys. Almost got in fights plenty of times just because the dont know im black!
In filipino and black...my husband is a true Chocolate American man.:)
Don't let ignorance get Yall down.
And mixed babies are so beautiful jus like the rest of them.
my BD is light blonde haired, blue eyes and i am a mix of thai and chinese. my own father got upset that we are not married and actually demanded to know what colour will his b*st*rd grandchild be :-(
i know our baby will be beautiful and that's all that matters.
my girlfriend is balinese (dark) with a norwegian blonde husband. they have a beautiful 4 year old that looks just like dad - blonde, blue eyes. she has been accused several times that she stole the baby!
