All in The Family

[Bozo Erectus]

How important is it to you that your kids look like you? In other words, that they have the same ethnic and racial characteristics as you and your native 'tribe' or 'clan'. Does the answer to that determine whether you could fall in love with, marry and have kids with a member of another race?

 

[Synobun]

Aww, I thought this was about the show.

Kids looking like you is not important...

 

[AAHZ]

it dosent matter to ME really... but i have met people in my life that would think STRONGLY in the contrary...

I wouldn't care, TBH. I've already been prophesied a Rabbi (with full beard from birth), a foreigner (due to some kind of war which put the hospital in "enemy" territory during the birth), a Communist ( ) and a load of other similar children. I'll still be happy, so long as I have successors!

 

[Jawz II]

As long as theyre big and tough, I dont really care how they look, although if their looks differed too much from me, Id do paternity tests.

I don't mind at all as i intend to impregniate women of every ethnic and races in the world, to start my own version of "All in the family".

If I didn't know any better, I would think that you were on of my friends that I'm 'bout to have a BBQ with... Although he doesn't intend to be there to meet the kids...

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Heck, my first preference for the theoretical mother of my theoretical children would be another race/ethnic group . . .

 

[Gr3yL3gion]

Now, I don't mind if my theoretical mother is Angelina Jolie though... She can adopt me anytime.

 

[Brighteye]

It's not so much the race itself, but the size. When I discovered that there seems to be very little height difference between races once social and medical factors are equal I suddenly found that I really didn't care about having half Bangladeshi children.

I don't know why I felt so bad about having small children. It just didn't sound appealing.

 

[Gr3yL3gion]

Big size children are hard to maintain though, big clothes, they eat more, etc, etc.

The smaller the better.

 

[puglover]

Actually, I've always wanted to adopt when I get older, so the child looking like me is not an issue.

 

[Guangxi]

i wouldnt have a problem.

 

[Masquerouge]

As if I knew the totality of my genetical background anyway... I've got great-grand-parents from all across Europe, and my wife has Cambodgian ancestry, so for me to pretend to belong to a specific tribe would be ludicrous.

 

[Mirc]

As long as my kids have the slightest drop of blood from me, I don't really care.

 

[StarWorms]

It wouldn't matter to me at all. I'd love my children no matter what.

However, I believe that I would find it more difficult having a relationship with someone from another race so the above is less likely to happen.

 

[LucyDuke]

I was thinking the other day about children, and I'm not sure I want to make my own. If I were to adopt, I think I would try to get one that looked very much unlike me. I'm mostly Scandinavian and Native American, so I'd probably like to have a sub-Saharan African or mid-eastern looking child. I don't think enough people get a lot of experience with that sort of mixed-race relationship, especially parent-child, and I'm pretty interested in it. I'd like to have some kind of personal stake in the consequence of racism. Mostly, though, the babies that look like me are way more likely to get adopted by people with money. I'll take one doesn't have so great a chance.

But no, aside from that I'd like to fly against what's usual, I don't give a crap whether my kids have the same bone structure I do. I only care that they're raised with the values I consider important, and that they don't turn out to be little jackasses.

 

[Irish Caesar]

My children looking like me is important. Because if they look like the milkman instead, ^&#* goes down.

 

[Evil Tyrant]

My children should resemble either me or my wife. If they are my children, I wouldn't give a damn about their appearence race-wise. Who I marry will be determined by if I find the woman in question attractive and fall in love with her. However, to be quite honest, I do not find Black women attractive in the slightest. I like White women, though I also find some Asians attractive.
