My husband is African-American. So our children will be 1/2 black, 1/4 Hispanic and 1/4 white. I can't wait to see what they look like! Like Mr. Bee, I also wonder how they will identify themselves. In America, most people with dark skin and relatively A.A. features are just considered "black" without consideration of a mixed background, and that's okay with me. But I still hope our kids won't feel pigeonholed by how people judge them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-ethnic-breakdown-of-your-child#post-9475 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 10:28:20 +0000 SAHM0811 9475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>100% filipino! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-ethnic-breakdown-of-your-child#post-9450 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 09:43:02 +0000 duetletterpress 9450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not sure the exact breakdowns but - french, cajun, irish from my side. scotch-irish, swedish on his side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-ethnic-breakdown-of-your-child#post-9425 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 08:35:14 +0000 mrsjyw 9425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1/2 Korean + 1/4 German + 1/4 Polish </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-ethnic-breakdown-of-your-child#post-9374 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 05:27:28 +0000 mynoahbear 9374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1/2 Japanese (me) + 1/2 German American (husband) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-ethnic-breakdown-of-your-child#post-9373 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 05:23:09 +0000 looch 9373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never know how to answer this!</p> <p>I am American born of two off the boat Italian parents.

I always thought Korean and Chinese cultures were similar, but there have been a TON of differences we have had to work through ever since we got engaged.

I do wonder, though, if she will ever feel conflicted over her ethnicity. While she, of course, looks Asian I wonder if she'll end up looking more of one than the other (ie. you know how people always end up saying things like, "You look very Korean" or "She looks more Chinese than Korean", etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-ethnic-breakdown-of-your-child#post-1863 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 17:11:43 +0000 bakingAbug 1863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our little Bug is going to be quite a combinations.

I'm full Japanese, and my husband is half Japanese, half Caucasian (his father's a European mix of French, Irish, English, German, and Norwegian... and even 1/64 Indian!). </p> <p>But to put it simply, our 6-month old daughter Mio is 3/4 Japanese. She looks completely Asian right now but it'll be interesting to see if that will change in the years to come. We're also curious to know how she'll identify with her ethnic heritage as she grows up. </p>
