Is this how to raise mixed race children?

Nicole Sprinkle is a White woman married to a Colombian. They have a daughter, Nina and she writes about raising a biracial child in an article “A Child of Two Worlds”. Would you adopt her style?

In her article, Nicole writes about her experiences and concerns of raising a biracial child like: “Would her choices of where to live or travel be compromised by her looks? Or would her mixed genes work in her favor? Not being quite Hispanic-looking enough to make her a victim of... full story

Most people who date interracially claim to have moved “beyond race”. However, more often than not, our decisions of who to date have and still are highly influenced by race. And the question of whether to date or not to date interracially seems to raise eyebrows - depending on how you look at it.

When in college, an male Asian friend of mine once told me he makes it a point NOT TO date Asian women so as to avoid being dubbed the ‘stereotypical Asian guy who only hooks up with Asian... full story

The passive victims of domestic violence

You don’t necessarily have to be on the receiving end to qualify as a victim.

Mercy, 34, grew up witnessing domestic violence. Her parents were very physical. When her dad left when she was around 7, it didn’t take long before mommy met abusive partner No.2.

Friends with benefits or stress?

Is it possible for a woman to have a ‘friend with benefits’ and carry it out in the same manner a man would?

As liberated women of the 21st century, we feel we should be able to engage in the same no-strings-attached sexual relationships men always have … that we can pull off flings and go about business as usual. The other day, I looked back at all the men in my life - my friends with benefits in particular - and realized that all the carefree attitude I had towards sex with... full story

Are we such a color aroused lot?

According to Ronald E. Hall, co-author of the book “Racism in the 21st Century”, overt discrimination based on one’s race is declining. It is now more about colorism and the basis of prejudice is in one’s actual skin pigmentation.
