My husband is black and I am white.... and we have a very beautiful daughter and another baby on the way. Sometimes when we are out in public I feel like we are walking with a movie star. People are so crazy. They go out of their way to come over and say how pretty she is. I'm sure it might be harder for them when they grow up and go to school but we just have to be aware of the area we are in and stay but a diverse group of people. Good luck!!

Not at my school. I hate when people say that mixed children aren't "claimed" by either race. I know plenty of mixed people who have a variety of friends (white black Mexican etc.) At my school, a very small town at that, and where racism is still a problem, they get treated just as well as anyone else. Don't let that keep you from having children.
I also know a kid from a village (less than 500 people) he is the only mixed person in town. He is accepted by everyone, he even brought the basketball team to state. So for people saying not in small towns, it really shouldn't matter.

If the child is brought up in a nurturing, disciplined, honest, responsible and respectful enviroment it will more then likely turn into an adult who reflects his/her upbringing and become a self assured person with dignity and integrity. Irrespective of ethnicity or color such a person will be respected.
On the other hand, if a child is brought up carelessly and or spoiled to replace attention to his or her upbringing and is not tought proper fundamantal values such as honesty, integrity and responsibility, Black, White, Red, Yellow, or
green you'll get a useless monster that nobody will want to be near.

I'm mixed and it wasn't THAT hard. I grew up in a very non-mixed town. (most people's races stuck together, not many mixed kids like myself, even though it was racially mixed as a town) And that was during the '80's and '90's.
So I would think by now, the 2000's that it would be easier to find acceptance and other mixed kids to bond with.
Just don't settle down in a small town.

regrettably to declare that there remains alot of racism obtainable, yet this now comes from all races no longer in basic terms anybody race nonetheless. that is gloomy that race remains an argument in lots of states, (specifically the southern states) even nonetheless that is a reality of life for now. As to the mixed race difficulty, it extremely is likewise saddly nonetheless authentic in some areas. the priority is that is not only so simple as a racism difficulty, that is extra of a racism difficulty that is inner to a race, an occasion may be somebody who grow to be a mix of caucasion and african american, in some places they does no longer be familiar by utilising caucassions or african human beings because of the blend. that is a tragic difficulty on the modern time, yet does ensue nonetheless in some places. I actual have a neice that is of mixed race and he or she has an extremely no longer project-free time in Georgia the place she lives because of the fact of it. It extremely angers me that we can't seem to get previous this in this us of a. yet component to the priority is the reality that we as a human beings sense the desire for labels which save us seperated in our minds. including Italian American, African American, etc. the priority is that if somebody comes from say Italy and gets citizenship right here, they're an Italian American, yet while they have babies they might only be American. Psychologically a label will reason a psychological seperation. So mutually as all of us could take excitement in our history and ancestry, we additionally could stop putting labels on something and each thing and grow to be one as a human beings. desire this facilitates. stable success to you.

It may be hard for the child, because of negative people. But just know there are many loving people in the world like you and your girlfriend, that will love people for who they are. There will always be more good than bad.

No, it doesn't matter. I am a 19 years old and mixed race, but nobody has ever really teased me or hurt me in any kind of way. So I would say no.

It really depends where the child is brought up. In a more multi-racial community this would probably be very normal.
