Well, I'm going to disagree with you on this one. I'll write more later.

Nichole Ritchie's biological dad is musician Pete Escovedo, Jr. but I don't know who her mother is.

Well, I'm one of those on DTogo's ping list and am currently visiting my Japanese inlaws with my four year old mixed race daughter and I tend to agree with him. You'd think she was a baby panda bear from all the fuss people make over her and I'm not just talking relatives either.

In America it's different but I honestly can't think of any bad experiences we've had because of it. People just don't seem to care or notice that much. Given her heritage however my daughter does look remarkably caucasian and it's likely that many people don't even recognize her as being of mixed race if she's not with her mother.

Solution...don't bi-racial. The kids are the victim in these cases. Until society looks at things as colorless, it will always be this way. And don't plan on a color blind society in our life time.

How can we progress toward a "colorless" society unless some of us are willing to "bi-racial"?

Good question. Rap has done more as a catalyst than bi-racial relationships have. Have faith. The ones that desire it will have their wish in do time. Though it takes one to ponder....if this was the intention, why are thier differing cultures??

thier = there
