Tell me about it! My mum is a good person, but she contributed to a lot of my issues growing up with the way she treated my identity. I’d say she was subtly, subconsciously racist, but I don’t think she ever meant to be. She’d say things like “you don’t look black at all today! You look fully Indian” and mean it as a compliment, which created a massive complex in me

Wow… That has the same energy as asking an attractive black person if they’re “mixed with something”

Exactly! She means it in the best possible way, but she has subtle microaggressions that meant it took me a long time to be proud of my mix

In my opinion, the increase in interracial couples and mixed children is a sign that we’re moving away from more racist times, but we’re kinda stuck in a limbo at the moment. There are more of us than ever, but attitudes towards mixed kids haven’t caught up as much as they should.
Even with the way we still treat race: like there are very strict categories we fall into. It’s as if it’s different breeds of the human species. Like we’re dogs. It’s really not very inclusive of mixed people

Have you ever been in an interracial relationship?
Never been in a relationship. 
Does race matter to you? If so, why?
No, I accept and respect people of all races. I don’t crush on people…but I do find some people good-looking, regardless of race. 
What are your opinions on interracial relationships?
There’s nothing wrong with them. People can love whoever they want.

Me and my brothers have never been accepted by other Mexicans. Nor have we been completely accepted by black or African Americans for being mixed or “half-cast” and/or American. I spend a lot of time trying to pass the “Mexican Test” and then giving up because at this point they don’t believe a DNA test.
Oh and what am I?
A human being. I used to think I was a attack helicopter but since you obviously haven’t dropped dead from the lasers shooting from my eyes I’ll settle for human. But I digress.

I’m half Asian/half white. Most of the guys I’ve dated have been white (although, interestingly, despite being Australian and living in Australia for 26 years, I haven’t dated many Aussies?! lol). Current bf is a white Canadian. lol
No.
Well, I’m the product of one lol. Mum’s Malaysian/Chinese and also from a Muslim family. She’s the only one of her siblings who didn’t convert her partner. I think that’s been an issue to her more than the different races. I don’t think anyone in her family judged her for it, but I think she’s always felt a little bit… guilty?… even though it was her decision.
From a personal perspective- I’ve been bullied for being Asian and told to “go back to where I came from” in Australia even though… that would be… Australia?! 
Currently I live in Mexico though and I blend in beautifully here until I open my mouth

Lol, still a single potato.
No, ìt doesn’t! If you think it does, then you’re race. It’s not like can we pick our races or something so everyone deserves to treated equally! Everyone is beautiful is their own way and it’s ridiculous to say that a race is more attractive than another.
It’s just love, just follow your heart. It’s sad to see others opposing interracial relationships. Not only interracial relationships, people judge others who like people with the same gender as them, and more. I mean, it’s their business, you have no right to judge. If you don’t like it, then don’t do it yourself, don’t judge others for it.

I’ve been seeing a lot of crazy religious nuts in America claim it’s sinful/against the bible.
UM how?
How can you say that and not be racist? Are you saying POCs are subhuman?

It is a portmanteau of “Bump” and “mixed”.

The chances of someone getting hurt in an interracial relationship are exactly the same as they are in any relationship
