Parents of Mixed Race Children!!!??!?!?

Question

1. Which culture/race does your child/ren identify with?

2. How is your child viewed by their peers?

3. Are they confident?

Anything else to add???Contact me at my 360. Thanks.

Answer 1

1. Just like me and most of the world my son is a mixture of cultures
2. He is viewed as just another kid and they treat him like one
3. He always starts out confident when he meets new kids, but because he's got a kind heart he gets taken advantage of
In reality my son is considered white, but discrimination these days for a boy is on if you are tough enough or mean enough. He's not so he gets treated badly for it. But at least I know he could care less about someones color. He treats everyone fair even if they don't do the same for him.

Answer 2

I'm not a parent of a mixed race child, but I am of mixed race. I'm Japanese, Russian, Chinese, and Okinawan. I'm mostly Asian since the only white ethnicity I am is Russian but I look both. Well I live in Hawaii and about half the people I know are mixed either half white and Asian, Hawaiian, Filipino, or another race. Everyone here gets along fine. We even have a name for people who are mixed- its called being happa or happa haole if your part white. Race isn't really taken into account here since the majority is mixed and I think it's really cool that race doesnt matter as much here as it does on the mainland and in other places.

Answer 3

My son is malatto. He identifies most with the black culture, and has wonderful self-confidence and self-esteem. It was hard for a few years as he was growing up (he is 30), and his biological father and I were no longer together. However, through it all, he was always loved and ALWAYS reminded of that. My husband and I raised him to be color-blind, but later found that that may have been a mistake. All in all, we are ALL human, and all created EQUAL, and ALL loved by our Creator; as long as your mixed race child/children know this, they will be alright. In fact, we just adopted a 5 yr. old malatto boy to start a family all over again!

Answer 4

I think in this day and age it is not considered out of the ordinary to marry somebody of a different culture or race, you are falling in love with that "Person" for their good qualities in life it should be
irrelevant what race or culture they are. The "Key" is to respect "All" Races Customs and Cultures and "Respect" that
person as a individual person.

Answer 5

I am a multi-racial child, (Lebanese, Prussian, Irish, African, Native American and Italian) but because I appear white, I really haven't had too much of a problem with any cultural stereotypes directed at me.

My sister, on the other hand, is often mistaken for being Mexican, and people will walk up to her speaking Spanish and she can say maybe three phrases.

People will say things about Arabs or Blacks, and it really upsets me, but I think people who say these things in front of me get even more upset when I tell them about my heritage. I have been accused of being anti-American and a terrorist supporter.

Answer 6

They don't identify with any race. They could have friends of any race. If they are raised in a good and respectful environment, they will be confident no matter what race they are.

Answer 7

I am American and my husband is Mexican- I would love to have kids with him- mixed children are beautiful!
Also: I work at a daycare, we have lots of mixed children there- they play with everyone fine, they are not teased if thats what you are asking!

Answer 8

1. any race - they don't see colors
2. loved by everyone
3. Very much so

Answer 9

African American, Mexican American, and American

Viewed by peers as African American

Yes.

Answer 10

FYI, mulatto is a deragatory word that refers to animals, not people.

No offense meant, I just hate it when people use that word.

**smooches!**
