I think mixed babies are gorgeous, I just feel like the babies benefit from their parents embracing another culture. I think as adults the beauty really shines in hapas :) My children have chameleon eyes which change depending on mood, lighting and what they are wearing. Best of both worlds :)
Being multi-lingual is essential for the future regardless of racial identity. Global competition will require more language skills beyond one language.
Thank you for posting this. This helps me a lot since my fiance is Japanese and I am Metis/Irish. His mother is very concerned about mixed children since Japanese society isn't as understanding. (Please note I live in rural Japan). This encourages me to see. Thank you.
My mother is Cuban and father is Haitian and Dominican. When people see me they just think I am African American, but I mostly identify as Cuban since I never know my father.
He does look more Asian but honestly it really does not matter to me as someone said just raised the kid right and away from racism and even racism within his people. I hope it won't be raised thinking he is better than others that may not have white in them or have darker skin tone. apart from that there I have no issue with his mixed race. btw Barack Obama considers himself black and married a black lady that's why he is referred as black cause that is what he wanted.
My friend has blond hair and blue eyes and married a guy from Mongolia. Their first child has dark brown hair, pale skin and his eyes look almost Caucasian without the dramatic fold.. however the second child has perfect Asian eyes blond hair and blue eyes.. genetics is truly amazing..
Your child looks asians, and the world will see him as that! Nothing wrong with that, we are what we look like, no one will attribute to your son any of his whiteness as he does not look like his mother. And as of Obama he is a black man as that is what he looks like.
You guys are the best. ...You are great dad and yes he's a door-bell lol! It is such a blessing that you guys understand how important it is to give your kids the gift of their own cultures and languages. I was not so fortunate. It sounds like you truly understand the nature of most humans...
I would like to give you the perspective of a hapa boy (I'm 41 I might know a couple things :) : Co-existing IS very different for us. 1) Children can be very cruel in school, 2) while absolutely essential, Please remember that all the precious love you guys have to give does not automaticallymake anyone see us as "all the same"...or "just a beautiful human being". 3) It's an amazing thing to be mixed especially now days I'm very proud...but it's still tough ...even around the ethnic peeps.
i think your son will look at this video 25 years from now and say "holy shit was I really in a video about whether I look more white or more asian!?!?!"
I think he looks both, Asian and Caucasian. I'm half Korean and half Caucasian (mostly Scotch-Irish with some Swiss-German and English). I think I look a little more Caucasian in my point of view (facial, wavy hair, nose). I can see some Asianess in my eyes (I do have brown eyes, my hair is dark brown, sometimes it get lighter). I think I look about 35%-40% asian.
I am half Korean and half Caucasian (a quarter Norwegian and a quarter Irish, to be exact). Growing up I never wanted to be Asian because all the kids at my school were white and I didn't want to be different. But now I'm 27 years old and I embrace my Korean side - I feel more Asian than I do Caucasian. People compliment me all the time on my "unique" look, saying "Mix kids are better looking." If I have kids someday, I will encourage them to be proud of their heritage(s)!!
He's a cute child, you can see that he's half white,half asian,he has some white features and some asian features,blended nicely,me myself i'm half filipino,half white, in Hawaii, where i'm from, theirs alot of mixed hapa asian people here.
I'm a Eurasian teen and in terms of race it really depends on who you are around in regards to how you're viewed. Usually at school I was regarded as more asian looking because I lived in a predominantly white community but amongst people who are asian you are viewed as more white. Even though thats a little unfair luckily race it seems like race is becoming less of an issue as the multiracial population is growing
People are ALWAYS going to ask his ethincity, as for one day will people not care?people will always care. . .
I'm 1/2 japanese and 1/2 native american, was adopted by a white american christian family(1/8th native american), in white/mexican populated town. I'm 24 now and i consider my self part mexican. :)
Hey I first would like to say YES HE IS CUTE! and second being a hapa myself, I find it very strange that some parents not hide but kind of not expose their children to both cultures. As for myself I was raised soley by my chinese side, and I am half chinese half italian. I dont speak a word of italian but I do speak cantonese pretty fluently, although I can always improve. Although when people look at me they only see the italian side of me as I dont have much chinese features ><
kids change as they get older, a lot of mixed raced children look more asian when they're young and look more caucasian as they get older and their features develop. I myself looked very asian as a kid and as an adult most people cant even tell I'm mixed. as for identity realize that in your socio-economic (doctor, banker, lawyer) group almost half of professional AAF marry non-asians. by the time your kids grow up fully 1/4 of the asian population will be mixed.
I think the tricky part is not so much figuring out what he'll eventually shape up to look like, but who he'll identify as when he grows older. I have hapa friends who embrace their mixed cultural background, but I know others who reject their asianness or their whiteness to fit in with one ethnic group. Based on the way you and your wife are raising your children (exposing them to both cultures), I think they'll embrace both :D
@icysparks2007 Thanks for the comment. we're trying our best to help them appreciate both of their cultures, and we're hopeful that things will work out well for them. Thanks again for representing the AMWF community.
i think he looks more half asian half white,i dont tihnk people should judge any one based on there looks but our preconceptions kinda mess it up a bit in real life. happens to everyone, keep teaching him chinese !!!!!!
Like most Eurasians, he looks more Asian on certain angles and more Caucasian on other angles. Either way, really cute! :D
And dude, I'm 17 years old, and GEE, you're an inspiration LOL!
Your wife is absolutely gorgeous, sounds like such a lady AND speaks Chinese as well, and you seem pretty well off as well. That's my aspiring life, to be happy with that :)
Pleeaassee make a video, with you and your wife on how you met, and how life is going etc?
thanks for your comments. I hope my children appreciate both of their ethnic backgrounds because it's a part of them, and I think both sides will definitely benefit them in the future.
Hello. I'm from Vietnam. You have a very beautiful wife. Your son looks like a fine boy. It's a good idea that you're speaking to your kids in Chinese. When they grow up they will appreciate it. Good luck and best wishes.
