Do you think interracial kids growing up are treated different by one race over the other? ~~ S. C.

We grew up in a time where we stared at someone who we thought was different from us or we were told “stop pointing”!! We didn't know if we should allow them to fit in or we wanted to ask several questions, but often didn't know how. We wanted to know first what color they were, how was it possible, if they could do what we did, why was their hair different from ours? The list of questions went on and on, however, so did time. As time went on history began changing and growing, so we began to understand that biracial children did NOT come from a different plant and they were NO different from you or I.

Interracial children had it just as difficult as any other race if not harder, and I say that because of friends who mentioned they were NOT accepted by either race and sometimes not even their own family member(s) other than their own parents OR parent. Living in the USA many of us were either looked down on by one race over the other, but both?? I couldn't even pathem.



This world has definitely gone through some breakthroughs in regards to accepting culture and/or change. The USA should be viewed as a BEAUTIFUL “melting pot” of races, religions, ethnicity and nationalities. I see it as the more we blend our families, the more interesting and open-minded we all become.
