In elementary school, my mom always came in and did a Chinese New Year party with my class. It was tons of fun, and everyone though my mom was so cool. But when I went to visit my mom's parents in Massachusetts, I was always baffled by the strong Chinese presence in their house -- the characters, the symbols, the food, the language. In high school, I immediately took the opportunity to learn Chinese, and I excelled in my studies.

My husband and I have been happily together for 8 years and married for 7 of those years. And I can remember the 1st time it was brought to our attention that we were an interracial couple like it was yesterday; and I think about it often now. It sounds funny, but up until then, we really hadn't thought too much about the fact the he is white and I'm black. It was during our marriage counciling with our pastor. And she brought up the question of had we thought about the problems we may have with being interracial and problems our children may have if we had any.

I have always wondered if there is anyone similar to myself, so I'm gonna give this a shot...

I am 23 and have a German father and Jordanian mother. I love them both alot and I am glad they brought me to this planet and made sure I can speak both of their languages. People always wonder where I'm from, especially after they hear me talk. I've been told my accent is really strange. The question that follows is usually ''well, .. where did you grow up?''

Growing up in the south was fun for me. My mother always told me that color didn't matter. Date who you want; I don't have a problem with it. I date black and white men. Mostly white men because the attraction I have to them. My friends don't agree with the men I choose to date. But hey, I'm happy. Isn't that what counts at the end of the day.

I’m a product of a bi-racial relationship. My father is Persian and my mother is Black. When I was younger, I wanted to associate only with my Black side because I was embarrassed of my Persian side, and wasn’t exposed to people like me, but as I got older, I realized the cultural importance of both sides and am very proud to be who I am. I and my 3 siblings wouldn’t exist without these important measures towards civil rights :)
