I am a black girl married to a white man. We have two kids. All the older people in my family goes NUTS over my children, saying how beautiful they are. I think they they are beautiful too (I'm their mother, lol), but so are my full black nieces and nephews too. Just as beautiful as my kids in their own ways. It makes the other kids in the family resent my kids, and my cousins my age say behind my back "Oh, she just married that white boy to be different" and "She think them mixed breed kids of hers is the $hit, they ugly anyways". It hurts me to hear these things. I didn't choose whom i fell in love with. It hurts when half your family seems so racist and the rest seems too smitten with your kids, that they ignore the others.
