It does render a good example of why some people are opposed to bi-racial marriages. It may not effect the parents as much as it does the children. And in some instances, it effects neither parent nor child.
But for this child, it is a traumatic issue for her. Something she lives with every day of her life. |
I'm supposed to be Mexican-ish.
There a white boy inside this body...
Feel bad for your niece. Everyone that I know who are halfers favor white culture, whatever that is.
