I was afraid i wouldn't get a job out of law school so I relaxed again, and everyone in the office just about is natural! I'm also in a much more progressive place now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-an-interracial-relationship/page/3#post-1335533 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 12:35:22 +0000 plantains 1335533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: your take on the issue is really refereshing so thanks for sharing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-an-interracial-relationship/page/3#post-1335465 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 12:11:27 +0000 Espion 1335465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: This is definitely good to know! So, in a way, I'm really glad it came up. I love natural hair too. One of my favorite chief residents totally embraced hers despite what people "thought" a physician "should" look like. She let it be a statement all on its own. Like a superpower no one else could have, but in the most awesomely awesome way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-an-interracial-relationship/page/3#post-1335242 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 11:06:06 +0000 Alivoo01 1335242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we're both Asian. I'm Chinese and DH is Cambodian.</p> <p>A lot of my exes were white though. I grew up in a very white town. Even my BFFs growing up were white. </p> <p>Funny story: My current BFF (we've been BFFs for awhile now) thought she was white growing up. It was until she was in 4th grade she "realized" she was Asian. hahaha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-an-interracial-relationship/page/3#post-1335241 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 11:05:58 +0000 dc yoga bee 1335241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: @mrsjazz: Exactly what I was thinking!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-an-interracial-relationship/page/3#post-1335236 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 11:05:30 +0000 chibee 1335236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I'm korean and he is white (italian) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-an-interracial-relationship/page/3#post-1335235 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 11:05:05 +0000 plantains 1335235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: @dc yoga bee: Oh yes, let's have a natural hair discussion!

I can honestly say I feel your pain. My cousins all got my grandmothers Cherokee Indian hair, and I did not. From being teased by them for my ugly, nappy hair to comments that hopefully no child gets my hair I can totally relate. I'm still learning to be comfortable in my own skin, and justlearned to ignore them. I'm here if you ever need to vent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-an-interracial-relationship/page/3#post-1335217 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 11:01:06 +0000 mrsjazz 1335217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: @plantains: Oh man, the good hair thing. I bet you both have beautiful hair. Kinky hair is beautiful, too :) P.S. we need to have our own natural hair discussion :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-an-interracial-relationship/page/3#post-1335190 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 10:56:48 +0000 plantains 1335190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: I'm transitioning to ntural right now, and FIL and his lot love to talk about how 'crazy' my curls are and how lucky DD is that she has looser curls. Plus my side of the family are almost worse with all their talk about how I'm so lucky that my DD has 'good hair', very annoying. My hair is good too dammit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-an-interracial-relationship/page/3#post-1335172 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 10:53:06 +0000 dc yoga bee 1335172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: I just cut off my hair and went natural (for the third time but that's a different story), and I know that will come up someday. I have kinky kinky tight curls,and our kids will probably have "good hair." I can see it now.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-an-interracial-relationship/page/3#post-1335168 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 10:50:42 +0000 plantains 1335168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: I know most people are not trying to be racially insensitive when they point it out, so I try to roll with teh ouncges. But then you get people saying how much DD looks like me, but 'wow such gorgeous wavy hair and light skin...so cute'! It really annoys me because the implication is then that because I am dark skinned with kinky hair I am somehow less than...</p> <p>Also, I feel like we have extended family on both sides who make too much of the perceived 'exotic factor'. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-an-interracial-relationship/page/2#post-1334954 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 10:03:07 +0000 yellowbird 1334954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: hahaha!</p> <p>Nope for us.

I said why all the need to try and point out difference. We are a family. Part of the 100% . Period. These were just a small sampleing of why we had to get the hell out of the south. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-an-interracial-relationship/page/2#post-1334859 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 09:38:14 +0000 sheskrafty 1334859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'm Filipino/German/Irish and DH is German/Irish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-an-interracial-relationship/page/2#post-1334739 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 09:06:04 +0000 Glitter 1334739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'm Black and he's Indian </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-an-interracial-relationship/page/2#post-1334736 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 09:04:41 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1334736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@beaker: Ditto!!</p> <p>I'm Black (Afro-Caribbean), and DH is white (Italian and New England Yankee...his words not mine). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-an-interracial-relationship/page/2#post-1334715 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 08:59:12 +0000 blackbird 1334715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really.

I actually feel like it's a bit racist, as though it's desirable to have non-white ethnic traits but with light skin. DS1 is very light and DH's extented family thinks it's the best thing ever :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-an-interracial-relationship/page/2#post-1334474 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 06:28:46 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1334474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: I KNEW I liked you!
