being bi racial and in a bi racial marriage

somernight by somernight Talking(January 2007) (rank 154th)
Hi All
Just a quick word of advice to everyone
being in a relationship is hard sometimes normally but even harder when you are in a bi racial one
not for me but i have spoken to people who feel judged all the time. WHO CARES is my thing
I love my hubby of 15 years ill have you know. There is not a sole on this earth that could put me off that
however there are people out in this small world that dont agree with steeping outside the box when it
comes to being with other races,religions ect. well im sorry for them even to have a friend of another
race. god made all of us equal and as i say to my children who are mixed/bi racial it would be a boring world
if god painted everything the same colour. as parents we all should teach our children to except everyone
no matter what . its a hard enough world to survive in without racism
peace out

biracial
I agree 100%. My kids are of mixed race...they are Filipino, Black & white. & They are just as unique as one who is of 1 race or ethnic background. Thank you for your article.

bi racial

 

I have quite a few friends who are from different cultures, and different colour. There's nothing wrong with that in my eyes either. I agree with you there that we are all equal.

great advice

I agree with everything you've said. I don't see why in today's world that it matters the color of the other person's skin when choosing a spouse or a partner.

I hope you're not going to get offended by this.. but I suggest editing the word "byracial" on your title to "biracial" as this is the correct spelling. If one is to put the word "biracial" on the "find advice" section of Minti, nothing comes up. And I'd hate for anyone to be searching for this subject and coming up empty when there is a good article written about it.

Or is "byracial"

Coming together & making beautiful kids
I couldn't agree more.
My husband is Maori, I am 6th generation Aussie. Thankfully most people we know are in mixed relationships so its not unusual. We live in multicultural Melbourne which is awesome - love it.
I don't really think about us in a bi racial relationship. Hubby does though and I know ppl notice it - they make comments about the kids skin (I am paley white and they are beautiful!)
I think it only concerned some ppl who thought hubby should have married another Polynesian. But we are happy and love each other which is what really counts.

Well said...

I know a few people who would fall over dead if someone in their family came home with anyone who was not 'white'.....

When I first met my hubby my brother immediately did the usual thing and phoned me to see how I was going and find out a little about Nigel. When Tony asked me where Nigel was from and I said the Channel Islands the next thing out of his mouth was 'What, his black?'  Me being me, I said Yes, very black...mind you, Nigel was as white as snow...I just enjoyed the reaction.

Like SafeKidsHaven said, "we all bleed the same" 

Cheers Lavinia

Greatly said!
I agree, and it's sad to say that there still are alot of predjuice people out in the world. I myself am hispanic and my husband is mixed ( Scotish, german, Irish), My sister is married to a great Irishman (my brother-in-law) 17 years now and my brother married a great woman (my sister-in-law lol) who happens to be Polish. People are people regardless of skin color. We all bleed the same!
