I fathered one with a black girl, and I am light-hued enough 'to pass' as Caucasian. Our daughter has started school, and has experienced slights from the totally whites, and true darker blacks. It's tough for her to understand why kids act so caustic.

Bi-racial can be difficult because the person is not always accepted in either race. My nephew is 1/2 African-American and 1/2 White. Fortunately he is the most popular kid in school and has a great number of white friends since we live in a dominantly white town. He's 16 now but as he was growing up and he was younger kids often said things there PARENTS had said. Children for all there meaness, often dont even know what they are saying they are repeating what they hear. It depends on the parents teaching and tolerance of diffrent races. I am currently pregnant with a man from India's baby and I am white. I am not sure what color she will be but it doesnt matter to me I love her the same. I hope that since I live in this accepting community that she will not have to deal to harshly with racsist comments.

Im not sure if there is a question in here or if you are making a statement but my comment as the parent of biracial children is bring your kids up to accept everyone and to accept that there will be racists both at school at work and in the neighbourhood and that it is only ignorance and fear that causes people to be racist. I m white (english) and my husband is Maori the thing is we have two daughters and one is dark like Dad and one is white like Me!!!I have had very RUDE people ask if they have the same Father (which I find very insulting and none of thier business) but I have tried to raise my girls to accept evryone no matter the colour and that they themselves benefit a lot because they have not one but TWO cultures in thier history.

Yes, in fact I have one. He is a year old and I have yet to deal with these issues. Children are so mean to one another, I hope he doesn't have any problems but I won't know until he goes to school. Although I think a lot of children are like that because they are a product of their environment and if that is the only thing they are taught, well then that is what they believe. Good luck in comforting her, teach her to be strong and proud.

Kids are not like that here...maybe you should move to a more accepting community. My daughters best friend is biracial and is very popular. She is part native American and part Black.

Sure I would.....I even considered adoption for awhile and would have accepted a biracial baby as my own. All kids go through this in some way or another. We all need to find a place to fit in and she will find her way. Give her the strength, faith and self esteem to find her way and teach her to be proud of who she is. It starts with you and the values you teach her.

Kids can be the most evil of creatures. Growing up, my younger brother and sister were constantly picked on. We have Korean decent and they look Asian. My older brother, me and another sister do not look Asian, so we constantly fought to "protect" our younger siblings. I believe it stems with the parents and more of them should tell their kids that skin and eyes are not what makes a person. Good luck

Yes. I don't know what kind of school it is but I think in most places it is pretty common. My daughter is 3 years old and doesn't care about skin color. I don't even think she notices it or if she does she has never commented on it.
