Why do people say that all biracial children are beautiful in the USA?

Question

I don't see why people are so judgmental when it comes to the race of children. I am black and my husband is white. We have two children and people in the USA always say oh there so cute because there biracial. Being biracial does not make you cute. And we live in Romania people there think they are gypsies because of their skin complexion. We only come here when they are on summer break from school to visit my family. My husband who is a native born Romanian said that in order for me to understand why people call them gypsies I would have to have come from Romania. But here is a pic of them do you think they are cute just because they are biracial? If you think they are ugly I don't care that's your opinion. Besides, they can't speak English that well anyway.

Answer 1

They are nice looking kids, I don't think being bi-racial makes people cute .... in fact I think a lot of bi-racial people are ugly as h**l and seem to take on the worst of both parents in some cases.

Some people just idealize the look or in some cases the idea of having a mixed background,

Answer 2

Why do you care? They are complimenting your kids. How is that bad?

And why do you enjoy treating others like c**p? Grow up, lady! For the sake of your kids!

Answer 3

Well, I think they're cute because they're cute. Doesn't matter whether they're bi-racial, tri-racial or anything else. They're just cute kids.

Answer 4

"But here is a pic of them do you think they are cute just because they are biracial? If you think they are ugly I don't care that's your opinion"

Wow, leaving much room for options there, are you?

Children are not cute because of their skin tone.  When people call your children cute, it's not because they're biracial.  Trust me.  I've met plenty of ugly children who were biracial, and nobody called them cute.

Answer 5

It's not everyone saying it, I'm sure it never even crosses their minds.

Mixed race people do tend towards beauty, a wide gene pool does that. Look at the Surinamers, part African, part Indonesian and part European colonist. It's not a set rule though, even biracial people can be ugly as sin.

Answer 6

People say that because there are less bi-racial people/kids out there, meaning, they are sort of rare (why does everyone think Hale Berry of Vanessa whatever is hot???).  Same thing goes for Asian mixes, you remeber Brandon Lee, may he rest in peace.  Anyway, I don't find that racist.  I just find it to be a compliment.  Figure this way, I didn't marry my frist (Chinese) bf because his uneducated, closed minded mother made a comment that... "what sort of kids are we gonna have... not yellow, not white..."  That - I see as racist and I would not want my kids to grow up around a stupid grandmother.  So...

I can see why people might think they're Gypsy.  I am Romanian.  Yes, it is definitely the complexion.  Your husband is not very good at explaining this, so I will.  Gypsies came from India a loooong time ago.  They have been living in our country for many years.  In the begining, both them and the Jews had a hard time fitting in (in Europe in general) because of their customs.  For instance, they marry their daughters at 14 and it is an arranged marriage - something that still happens in India.  Jews weren't accepted because of loaning money with interest - so not Christian.  Now, we, Romanians, as a people, are a lot more accepting of others (try France and you'll see what I mean).  Ever wonder why people think we are Gypises?  Well, that's why.  As long as you're not a jackass, you can stay in our country.  Our history has been a violent one, not because we like to start S**t, but because everyone wanted a piece of us throughout history.  

Now, back to the present time.  Romania was communist from 1965 to 1989.  That marked quite a few generations of people.  We had very little information of the outside world.  When I moved to the US all I knew of it was Dallas let's just say.... I was surprised of how little we knew.  So, if people think they're Gypises is because they were shileded for years... but, as you know, we do have some African - Romanian celebrities as well... Nadine and some others... so, I am sure things are changing.  Ignorance is everywhere though.  When I first told Americans (in college, mind you) that I am Romanian they thought I came from Rome....

Answer 7

All children are beautiful, especially (but not only) if ~ like the ones in your picture, they appear happy and healthy.

Cheers :-)

Answer 8

Biracial people do tend to be more attractive. Scientific surveys between European and Japanese subjects show that they do prefer mixed race people over the rest.

Answer 9

I agree with you.  Being biracial doesn't automatically make people attractive.  The ones who say that are the ones who happen to find those looks appealing.  It really doesn't matter what race anyone is because we ALL are beautiful to some and ugly to others.

Answer 10

The kids are the future of our world and because they are to continue as we fall short in death, they to me are special. They are the new beginning who are to dance beneath the fullness of the moon when we are unable.

Answer 11

This guy wrote a book saying how people who are biracial usually have more symmetrical features. He described how some might even naturally smell better, etc. Something about the parents' genes being very opposite, or different.

Answer 12

I think that people who have biracial children make a bigger deal out of it then people outside of their families..

I have no problem with biracial children.

Answer 13

HI,

I think they're adorable....I don't see many kids that arent. Just means you and your wife make beautiful babies.  I'm white..my husband  is white and my kids are awesome looking as well. Although now were enjoying our summer tan and I think it makes us look more healthy or something.

Eileen

Who loves all children in general....whats not to love? :)

Answer 14

I can see why they are labelled gypsies in Romania. They share some of the features Gypsie kids have. Before I came to the U.S, I grew up in Germany... and there were Gypsies around too. Your husband is correct in his assumption that you would have to live in Romania or other parts of Europe for some time to understand this. By the way, being called a Gypsie is nothing bad.

Answer 15

Most of the b/w bi-racial children I have met ARE beautiful.  They have the perfect mix of different races features.  They have the most beautiful skin tones that I as a white person would LOVE to have.  Complexions are generally very clear which just makes them look like paintings.  And BTW, your children ARE beautiful!  And you helped create that beautiful.  Don't be worried, be proud!

Answer 16

By looking at them I wouldn't say, "Oh they are bi racial ...so they are cute". They are cute...because they are cute.

I would more likely say you have beautiful kids.

Don't hassle it, they are beautiful so be proud!! :-)

All kids are beautiful.....no matter.....

Answer 17

I hear what you mean. Some bi racial kids are just plain ugly....no offense intended but your kids are adorable. It is the mixture, it does something to the gene pool I suppose. I have a bi racial son. His father is Mexican and black and I am all Italian. People actually think he looks Punjabi Indian...hahah. Oh well everyones nuts. Who cares.

Answer 18

I think they're cute.

And all children are beautiful ( unless you're their parents, in which case they're either beautiful or monsters)

Answer 19

I think most all kids are cute no matter what their racial background. If I saw your kids, I may say they are cute but I wouldn't be referring to a race, I'd simply think they are cute. You seem to be very suspicious of people. Why? Why others who don't know you tell you your kids are cute, say thanks. They aren't wondering their race, they just think they are cute and all it is is a nice compliment. They are cute because they are cute kids is all the reason why people think they are cute.

Answer 20

its a politically correct lib line

anyone that knows anything about beauty realizes its all about symmetry ...race(s) dont matter

Answer 21

People are calling your cute children cute because you and your husbands genes apparently make beautiful children.  I'm not sure why you're complaining...  

It's not JUST that they're biracial, but it seems like being biracial does make you cute.  Most of the biracial people I've met are beautiful.

Answer 22

Your children are beautiful but I certainly don't think of the color as idea. A lot do but I don't. I like my pale skin and my son's is beautiful to me.

Answer 23

What is your problem with people calling your children cute? They ARE!

You seem to have a large chip on that shoulder of yours, and I really don't understand why you complain about a COMPLIMENT.

Geez - try smiling and saying thank you. How would you feel if no one complimented your kids at all?

Get a clue, sister. Stop complaining about such trivial BS.

Answer 24

I think it's the media that tells people that mixing creates more beautiful people.

I've seen half and half..Some are good-looking and some are average. Saying mixed people look better than pure breeds is ridiculous..

Check out Rain Pryor, who is half-white/half-black.

Answer 25

They're cute, but why do you need validation for your children's features? Don't listen to negative racial statements because everybody is beautiful in the sight of God.

Answer 26

Girl, what is your problem? Just say THANK YOU.

People don't have to say anything, you know, so at least they said something nice.

Answer 27

Bi-racial. That's a new word to me.

May I ask why you call yourself black?

Are you not more brown?

Most people say that all kids are cute, I do. It doesn't matter what colour they are. Don't grade them on their skin colour, that is racist.

Answer 28

They're okay. They just look like nice normal children to me.

I don't see how being bi-racial makes a difference, or how you can tell that from a photo, anyway.

Answer 29

I agree that just because someone is mixed race doesn't mean they will be beautiful, but then you go and put pictures of 'your' kids on here?!

They are just kids - I am not going to comment on their looks I don't think it is appropriate.

I have known lots of ugly mixed race people - I say mixed race as it is the term we commonly use in the UK.

Answer 30

Some people are interested in making themselves seem so darn nice and wonderful to others that they are compelled to blow sunshine everywhere it doesn't normally shine.  Isn't overzealous complimenting of biracial children essentially saying that other children are uglier?  Try to shirk the assertions of screwed up people!

Answer 31

All i know is biracial woman grow up to be really hot. I think mixtures can cause  exotic looking ladies that you don't see everyday in America.
