Newborn!
Posted: 06-25-06 21:06pm

I would love to know from anybody out there that has had a biracial baby. My friend has just had a baby who is biracial. How do you tell it is biracial? Is it by the genitals, because he is tan but his penis and balls are black, does this mean that he is biracial automatically, or not. Please someone help me out on this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes it is hard to tell a biracial baby... I have all biracial children and only 2 of them you can actually tell that they are mixed...

Hey.. Im " biracial" black white and hispanic.. And you really cant tell to some people but others can tell that I have black in me... My sons father is crystal clear white so even tho logically my son is bi racial he looks white... Dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes..Lol..
But there is a way to tell if a baby is mixed...
Biracial babies have a bluish spot.. Almost like a bruise close to their little butts.. Called a mongolian spot.. It is common in babies with african american decent. I have it... If you look it up im sure you'll find out more info...

Ps...
Lmao @ " you tell by the parents "..!!! Thats some common sense for ya.. Lol

Why would you need to tell? I don't understand "biracial" at all... It doesn't make sense to me. What does it include? I'm half haitian and half dominican but i'm dark-skinned by dominican standards. In the us i'm black (still dark-skinned). Since i'm half haitian and half dominican does that make me biracial? Or am I black? Or hispanic? What about my son? He's puerto rican, dominican and haitian, is he biracial? Or is it just skin color that determines race? I thought our race was just hispanic.... :? Sorry, but this confuses me and hopefully someone here can finally explain it.

i don't care, it's just always confused me. Who determines what it is? What does it include? I don't know. Here in the us there's a million and one little forms to fill out that include race and I never know what box to check. I usually end up checking "other" because none of the categories fit. You should see people's faces when they look at my form. Priceless!! Especially in hicksville, usa where I live. They've never seen a "black" latina before. And here they call anyone who isn't black, white or asian a mexican. I don't think they've even heard of filipinos here. :lol:

hey jess, do you speak tagalog?

I choose to call myself either mixed or biracial because I dont want to just call myself either black white or hispanic... Im all of them not just one so why should I have to just choose one.


bi·ra·cial (b-rshl) adj.
1. Of, for, or consisting of members of two races.
2. Having parents of two different races.

If you are concerned about who the father is, get a dna test.
