I think I can help! I am American (Irish and other stuff) and my husband is Arab (Kuwaiti). We have 4 Beautiful children, all a nice mix, little darker than me, lighter than my hubby. They fit in quite nicely in Kuwait and in America. My friend is also Irish married to a Kuwaiti, and her kids are beautiful, if you ask me, the mixed ones are cuter than the 'whole' ones, lol. Anyway, she won't have any more problems then all other American kids, they all get made fun of about something or other, so don't worry!! My kids are Kuwaitans and very proud of it, and you should just teach your children to be proud of who they are, no matter where their parents are from.

It would help if I knew exactly what you both look like. I've seen many people from that part of the world that I wouldn't have known were Arab and many others that definitely do. The general rule is the child is lighter than the dark skinned parent and darker than the light parent but there are so many variables. Yes, it is possible that she might suffer prejudice but that could happen anywhere for any reason. The important thing is to give her lots of love at home and teach her to be proud of both sides of her heritage. Remind her that America is a country of immigrants.

Nearly everybody in U.S has Irish blood in them,Mike Tyson has claimed it, among others.Your daughter will only be Dusky, very much liked and wanted at this moment in time. Hell, Halle Berry is half Brit, and that aint hurt her or her career. And another thing, you are contributing to the American melting pot. But I have to add that different cultures often have problems,So hope you two stay happy,thats more a thing to worry about. And I reckon she will be classed as Moorish.

It doesn't matter what other people think. I live in America and I don't think she'll suffer prejudice. I think that she will be a very beautiful and nice girl. Mixes are always beautiful. Like me, I'm half British and half Chinese! I have brown hair and hazel eyes! I bet your daughter will turn out to be beautiful! I know I've already said that, but she will!

I like Arabrish or Irishoccan :)
I too think she will be absolutely beautiful and don't worry, she will be able to handle any prejudices anyone might throw her way, we all do.
We're mostly all, what I like to refer to as, Mutts in America anyway. I'm serious, just think about it.
I myself have Cherokee, Irish, Austrian, German, Oh my goodness, the list goes on and on...
But once born in America, always American regardless.

I am part German, Irish, French and Italian. I wouldn't prejudice her. Stay true to your daughter, love her with all your hearts and soul. She will be a well adjusted person for her personality if she is truly loved from your heart and she will just shine right on out.

Nowadays everyone is a mix. What difference does it make what your child will look like? You want a healthy, happy child. Period.
The only problems your child will have is if you allow others' perceptions of you and your child to affect your family.

Don't depend on labels. She will be whoever she decides to be and whoever you two as parents shape her to become. As for people, they will always talk, so let them and don't worry about their wrong perceptions. Just make sure you provide your daughter with love and care and everything will be fine!
-Good luck!
