Are you mixed?
My daughters were across the street at the park. I am caucasian, my husband is caucasian born in New Zealand and raised in Australia. MANY in those countries are not caucasian.
Anyway, a little black girl asked them, HEY ARE YOU MIXED? As I believe she was mixed.
My oldest daughter, 10, said "Yeah, My dad is from Australia, my mom from San Diego and we are from Washington!"
I had to laugh as they told me this story. What a SWEET perspective.
And now in our case, the girls can be ANY NATIONALITY. We do not know. People tell us WHAT THEY ARE IN THEIR OPINION!
We had been in Idaho and the mothers pulled the white children away from ours at a playground! We were on vacation, it was like the Twilight Zone! Places still like that, YUK!
I experienced racism as an American living in Australia. I believe that can be worse than most racism in this country! Most of the rworld do not like YANKS.
So - - we all can have our share...but we know what is right. We know that God created all of us equal.
Funny, I never even think about the girls SKIN COLOR. Other than they get a better tan than I do!
