Would you feel bad if you had a "mixed" race baby?

[Anonymous]

Let's say you love your S. O and you were able to have sex with your S. O but the idea of having a mixed baby, kills you, would you feel bad secretly because your baby doesn't look like you?

No

By " does not look like you " i mean, your entire race features, the baby probably won't have your entire race features, because is mixed, let's say, you have straight hair but the baby have curly

[menina]

Of course not. I see no reason to feel bad.
If I'm going to have sex with someone outside my race, it's obvious that the baby will be mixed race.
He/she would be my child, he/she would be part of me.

However, I watched a video on YouTube about a guy who didn't want to have kids with his girlfriend because they wouldn't look like him. And yet, he said he loves her. It's crazy.
If I had a boyfriend like that and if I wanted to have kids with him, I would dump him immediately.
I mean, you love me, but you can't accept our child? You can't accept something that is part of me?
It's stupid and selfish.

So we always had intentions on having children. Having mixed children is not something that bothered me. Honestly, it's an odd feeling to have a child that looks nothing like you, but I still love him. I do wish he at the very least had curly hair like mine, but straight will do.

I'm mixed. My mom loves me and my siblings regardless of what we look like but she has stated more than once that she wishes at least one of us got her blue eyes. I do get why it would be a bit of a let down, but this wouldn't make me love my child any less.

I have a white dad and a black mother

I look very much like both and I am extremely proud of my Armenian, Irish, Polish African and Cherokee Indian background. I also can't wait to tell my kids the stories about how all those ethnicity became part of the family.

I'm proud of who I am and I think other mixed people are too

[Afrochick]

Wow judging by your avatar you can pass for so many ethnicities

[COCOCHANEL]

that's cool

[madhatters4]

a mixed race baby can and usually does still look like it's parents. and if you have unprotected sex with a person of another race you'd be pretty dumb to be upset when the baby comes out mixed race

it's like cooking chicken noodle soup and then being upset when your soup has chicken in it

[justfluffeh]

My daughter is mixed race, she's part Jamaican... and she's fucking perfect. She's darker than me, with a super curly little mini fro, has dark eyes and a classically 'black' nose. Does she look like me? Not in a huge remarkable way, but there are signs, and she is my baby regardless... do I love her any less? You bet your fucking hat I don't!
She is MINE and I love her to pieces.

You should literally just slap yourself now for that question.

[Dog19]

No, a lot of people say that mixed babies look better, they have great hair and praise people for having mixed babies.

Hell, I had a black friend and she told me I should get pregnant by a white man so my kids can have good hair. - I'm African American by the way.

So there.

[MaybeNot1]

If the idea of having a mixed race baby bothered me, then I probably wouldn't be with someone outside of my race in the first place.

[RJGraveyTrain]

I'd feel great if I had a mixed baby, because whether or not they look like me is irrelevant. I would be stoked because that's my child.

[FallOutBoy2001]

Uh no. I'd actually quite like that because it'll look half like it's dad and half like me, and considering how cute it's (hopefully) father is I'd be cool with that

[Azgeda]

If the baby doesn't look like you , you might want to have a chat with the mailman.

[Azgeda]

About the hair. Oooh goody let's play with genetics.
See when it comes to hair , it's called incomplete dominance.
Curly is coded as (C) , straight (s)
By Mendel's principle of independent assortment , each parent would donate half of the genetic information.
So CC and ss could give rise to a child with the Cs , not exactly curly , not exactly straight but wavy.
So then the kid would have hair that looks a bit like the father and a bit like the mother.

Genetics is exciting stuff.

[Prettyapathetic]

you're so smart. ily

[Asker]

@ Azgeda you are right, my dad have straight hair, my mom have curly hair, and me as the kid, i have wavy shiny hair, straight but at the same time curly, but more like wavy, it's exciting how the genetics work

[jessiie06]

Of course not. Your baby will still have features of both parents... if you care so much about the looks of your baby then maybe you shouldn't have one because your baby could turn out to be handicap.

[RedThread]

Your kid is going to look like you in some capacity just like if you had a kid with someone of your own background.

I would have no problems with it. It would be my kid and I'd do my best to prepare him/her for the world.

[James0]

What would kill me is that my children not being a good person

[desidoll]

Not at all. I am 90% certain that my babies will be mixed race because It seems like I date outside my race more 😊

[Hidden_P]

No.

My niece is mixed race. She had the skin and hair of her mum and the features of her dad.

It's not like she looks like neither.

[Afrochick]

UM no...

I date outside of my race, so if I ever choose to have a baby he/she will most likely be mixed.

[LunaLawliet]

What the fuck.
Of course. There's no question about it.

[Winter_Storm_Guy]

Nope, I am White with Blue eyes and Light brown hair
i would not care if a child didn't look like me no matter what
cause skin color, genes is all skin deep.

[Anonymous]

I'm just... shaking my head right now. A baby is a baby. When will this silly race of human beings get over color?

[CHARismatic110]

No. I wouldn't feel bad about having a mixed baby. I'd love my baby regardless.

[AngelLily]

No because it doesn't matter if my child is of any race and if i did feel that way i would change myself because it's wrong.

[BellePepper]

Why would I feel bad about a child I chose to have with a person I loved?

[SunnyCaliGirl]

No not at all becasue babies are wonderful and need to be treated and loved as normal humans. By the way that is an adorable baby in the photo <3 <3

[datgirl]

Neverrrrrrrrr. They are out of this world beautiful. But I will be marrying within my an culture and having little pwetty indian babies.
