Maybe by the time Freya and Annika are adults we will have made some strides. I doubt it will be much, but a little is better than none.<br /><br />@Guy, yep, believe it. The thing is, I don't think people are that ignorant. I think a lot of it is subconscious. Everyone has inner bias they must struggle against.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179017575408367896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928691692997483316.post-11253265460023155382010-03-20T07:12:03.482-05:002010-03-20T07:12:03.482-05:00I can't believe some of things these people sa...I can't believe some of things these people said to you to describe your daughter.

Mark explains how much better she will have to be at EVERYTHING to push past that bias.

I am finding more and more bi-racial families and babies. We will change the world.
