Just tell them she is biracial. I don't see why that would be a big deal.

#1 it is none of their business.
#2 she is 50% me and 50% her father. Then you ask the person what are their children? Most of the time this will leave them speak-less.
I had a biracial child and when people were sincere I would tell them. When they are noisy, I would say I want tell, but what noisy person put you up to ask me? All they could do is stand there with their mouths open.
When my son would come to work for the first time, the talk would start as to what nationality was his father. I would tell them that he was mixed. Some people did not like that I had slept with a person of that race. How stupid can a person be to think that I needed their approval.

Some people are just curious & mean not bigotry at all. But some, obviously are bigots. One reply appropriate for both would be just to tell them, but not just saying "the father is white," but "the father is English & Irish" or something like that. Then say "and what's YOUR heritage?"
But if you asked me I'd tell you I'm English, Irish & a bit of Indian. "I didn't get any of the Indian, obviously." (I am very white & blonde) I'd even go into how the rest of may family has warmer skin & dark eyes. "I got every recessive gene in the family!" Then you to might have a friendly conversation about heritage & genetics.
The bigots will be astonished you would ask them that & say something like "white, of course!" Then maybe they would go away a bit more aware that pretty much all of us have a mixed heritage if you go back far enough.

Yeah this is a issue for some. I don't know we usually just explain the situation. Mom's black and Dad was white. (My stepdad is interracial) Personally, I don't know why this is still an issue this day in time. I mean for most of us in the United States anyway. A majority of us are "mixed". I have irish, scottish, jewish, german, american indian, and who knows what else in me. Ignore those losers who stare because they are not "pure" either. She is a cute, lively little girl and that is all that matters..

My children are biracial too, black hair and tan skin, ....I tell people that their tan skin is from my Husband...
I'm white and my Husband is American Indian...I tell people that they're Indian. ...to me, this is the dominant race out of their particular mix..
If I was Indian, and the kids had white skin, I would tell everyone they were Caucasian.
I think people just want to know why the child looks different...people are so nosey, aren't they?!

Well those people need to get over it. If someone asks about your babies race then just tell them the truth. It's not like it's a big deal. If they can't get past something small like that then sucks to be them. You shouldn't feel weird or confused when you tell someone about your baby. Be honest.

I'm biracial and I married a white man. My baby looks NOTHING like me. Most people assume I'm the nanny. When people ask me the classic "What are you?" like I'm a mutant mystery, I've always told them that my mom is white and my dad is from Africa. That usually resolves the issue without any friction.

Tell them what races she is. People shouldn't stare. A girl I know has a Agrentine and American baby mix. Cutest little boy... She tells people he's Ameritine.
I bet your baby is a cutey tooo!

When someone asks rudely any question, a good answer is, "WHY do you want to know?" That usually stops most people. If they then respond, "I'm just curious." Then you respond, "How nice for you."
If you feel like giving an answer, just say the truth. "She's bi-racial. And...so?"
