No need to get nasty with me and flame me, call me names and blah blah blah...I am asking this primarily about my kids and my situation. I have two mixed kids of my own, and nearly everywhere I go, someone annoys the life out of me going on and on about how beautiful their eyes are, or their hair is so "good", and how their skin is so exotic colored...etc, etc and then when people see me (black) and my husband (white) they always compare features and the compliments are always based on my kids being mixed, not their individual attributes as human beings. It makes me upset.
I see it happen with other mixed kids too. It's usually black people or persons of other cultures that tend to ramble on and on, but I've gotten this deal from some of everybody. Even the nurse that delivered my baby girl. What is the fascination? Yes, I agree my kids are beautiful, but they are not the avatar of Buddha or anything. What can I kindly say weird situations like these without sounding rude?
