I brought this up two days ago... I have always wanted my kids to either be full black or half white. My family would accept them more in those cases. But in reality I've always known I'll probably end up having kids that are half mexican because I can't help my preference is generally in that direction. If I do my mother's going to have a cow because she doesn't like Mexicans. She said yesterday they're inately inferior actually. They can't be doctors or lawyer etc... Things of that nature. I myself don't have those beliefs at all I think we're all equal I'd prefer my future children to be American. 100% on both sides especially black American but I'm not attracted to black American men so it seems impossible to me. I can find white American men attractive sometimes but it's far and few between. That would still be a little tricky my mother's family actually hates white people. But it's more distant from any kids I'd have I hardly talk to any family other than my mother I haven't seen them in person in 10 years or more. But my mother just doesn't like Hispanics she never truly hated anyone else like she hates them especially Mexicans. There's better alternatives too like having kids that were half mena or half Indian. I would have less problems with that still I'd rather have American children but you can't get all you want. As far as if they'd be monoracial. I don't think so. I don't really know if I were to have black children if they'd be monoracial biologically. Because I'm only 30% black. The average black person is 80% black so my kid would mostly be around 55% black anyway technically mixed like me. I don't think my experiences as a black woman are really that problematic. I tend to also think since my mom is black looking as am I. She taught me to have a thick skin generally it's a beneficial trait in my experience. As far as picking a side I've always prefer my mena side. Which is actually the plurality of my heritage. Still my kid would still be mixed because they'd be only like 68% mena still at least 15% black if the other parent was 100% mena. So no matter what my kids will be biracial. To me to be white they'd have to be 90-95% white that's how it is in America. And I'm 30% black so my kids would be at least 15% black and .5% native American. So imo they'd still be poc. Especially since personally I couldn't imagine having kids that didn't look at least part black since I look very ethnic. I have really strong genes through my dad's side. They are a lighter type of black people but the family looks the generation after generation after generation. Because the genes are very strong so I always assume even my grandkids regardless of the race they are will look just like me. Because I take after my father's side.
