I think we'd be hard pressed NOT to find kids of mixed ethnic parentage these days. Especially here.

Well i'm Singaporean too! I am of Malay/Indian background. And yeah, we get those comments as well, but it's all been positive, if not funny. DH is Aussie with Italian heritage and DD is his mini me, or mini miss, rather I didn't even get a look in! We figured she'd have brown eyes as it is dominant and we both have brown eyes, but hers are a green grey. I'm so jealous I'm quite fair so she's got this nice honey colour which i hope won't burn under the sun as her dad is Lobster Man when he's at the beach.

Once we were at Paddys markets and some American tourists were oohing and aahing and even though there I was pushing the pram, beaming as new parents often do, and the tourists automatically look at my SIL next to me and go, "you have a bewdeeful baby."

Hubby joked that they might have reckoned I was the nanny! Needless to say he got a whack in the arm for that one.

As Russel Peters the comedian said, in 200 years we're all going to be beige anyway. I'm just doing my bit now!
