Why the hell would anyone want to be homogenous, now that's MY question!!  |
My mother is white, my father is black. I hope that's interracial enough for you. It has nothing to do with liking yourself, it has to do with people's immediate need to label others. Many people that are considered attractive are multi-racial, and many people find those of multiracial appearance to be quite attractive. But that doesn't lessen the fact that as someone of mixed heritage, you are forever an outsider. My skin is nowhere light enough to be identified as white, but my hair isn't kinky enough nor my skin dark enough to be able to pass for full black. And I know any child I father will more than likely have the same problems (especially since I tend to be most attracted to asian women).
Again, it's nothing inherently wrong with interracial couples, or their offspring. But more than likely they will face difficulty being able to assimilate into either of their parents' cultures. Unless they are fortunate enough to have features that allow them to "pass" for one or the other.
edit-changed a stupid mistake
