[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 537930, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]MWM, My children are biracial and there are many factors that effect who they are attracted to, and who is attracted to them - just like with single race kids. At different points in maturity I think all kids vary -- when they are a little younger they are attracted purely to the physical and those they identify with. As they get a little more mature they begin to read the personality. My easy child daughter, who is now 21, has practiced "equal opportunity" with the three guys she has dated. Her first boyfriend was a "very white" ginger, the second a mixed black/hispanic, the third just your average caucasian. Who is attracted to them? The factors in the first paragraph apply but there is also the home factor. As much as folks are shocked, there are still many families out there who don't want their child dating outside their race. Even though easy child's ginger boyfriend was a little older, his family was still a huge influence on their relationship. They were not supportive in any way of their son dating my daughter. At 17 (and he was 19 and in college) my easy child had enough. This was her first "real" boyfriend. She broke up with him because of his inability to stand up for himself (told his parents he wasn't dating her anymore) -- hurt her to do it and she cried for days. When a kid grows up in a prejudiced/judgemental home it's tough to break the mold. But, we are living in a different time. Most young people today are much more accepting. I wouldn't say they are color blind because most do celebrate and accept the differences and are not blind to it. But, race doesn't enter into the equation like it used to when choosing friends or expressing your attractions. She will be ok. Don't worry unnecessarily. Sharon[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
