[Tired of Taxes]

Our sons are "biracial", too. They're still very young, but even the soon-to-be-seven-year-old knows almost nothing about racial differences. Yet, if someone referred to them in terms of "race", I would just explain it to them. An in-law once gave great advice: He and his wife would tease their biracial children by calling them names in a joking but loving manner, so that, later, when children called them names, they just laughed. That's not something we would do, but parents allowing this incident to get them so upset just teaches the child to be oversensitive.

Exactly. And what's ridiculous is that he's being taught to be sensitive concerning something that he has no control over, his race, rather than that which he can contol. It's going to be far more important how this young man lives his life than what color he was when he was brought into this life. The fact that my son is a different color than my other children has never even entered into their minds as being important. How he grows and develops in his life, is important.
