%$#* people say to transracial families

I found this video and think it is HILARIOUS. I think y'all will appreciate it.
It also got me thinking about other stereotypical things people say without really considering their words first. If you have any scenarios, please post them. I think it'll be a good laugh.
I can't think of anything too funny off the top of my head.. whenever I tell people my post-college story (that I graduated with a degree in psychology, wanted to get "real world" experience, and then moved back into my mom's house... 3 years ago), I always get a "look" or like, "so you just don't know what you want to do?" or "When are you going to do something with your degree?" Rather insensitive imo, but hey, all I can do is laugh.

It's sad that people define themselves and each other by their jobs. I use my psych degree every single day but not in a job context.

Musician, its pretty typical to have someone comment on how musicians don't make a lot of money. Which is funny because my last gig was at $100hr

 Your posts make me curious about your music! Do you write and perform? Or perform for popular artists at their shows? Or both? Or what? Damn. I really am curious. Perhaps these are some other typical questions you get as a musician but I'm interested

Write and perform, can't do much right now as I had to sell my car and equipment after a few altercations... but that's being fixed.

More like playing a gig for $100 an hr. Jealous much? Guess I'll add here before you grasp for more straws, gigs around here are typically 3hrs long. So if you're paid $300, divide that by 3hrs and you get !!!! $100hr

Woah, similar 'karma'... Graduated undergrad with psychology and philosophy degrees and 6mo later found myself moving back in with my folks... That only lasted 3mo (was 11 years ago), but those 3 mo. FELT like 3yrs... Then moved on to Columbus, OH & then Seattle... Went back to school (Library Sciences) and finally am doing well for myself here in Portland.
As for video, reminded me of a gay couple I know with grandchildren... precisely the same reactions when they went out, to the point of implying they were kidnappers...

Just on the topic of transracial families, I think it's a bad idea. My 2c. Bi-racial people seem a little bit "off" to me. The races are different. I think interracial couples deserve the stares they sometimes get, it's not a good move for the species.

What a fucked up racist post imo. Nice going.

Sorry if I came off as aggressive but I'm out of my medication today, and been on the verge of a panic attack for hours. Seriously bad feels (nothing physically dangerous though)

Notice how he says "seems" a little bit "off"... That's a gut reaction, it's not based on critical thinking.... just some bullshit belief lost in the sauce of the unconscious.... He finds it distasteful. Unsavory......

No I'm not racist I really like all races and people and I'm a compassionate, friendly, well meaning person and want the best for society before even myself at times.
But I look at race and I ask questions.
I ask questions because I'm not afraid of little egalitarian trends and shotty cultural values.
It appears to me that smart people of each race identify with their long, profound genetic history and find some kind of spiritual reality to race.
This is not schizophrenia this is not masquerading hate or bigotry.
It's just what I notice.
Then I meet people of Australian culture but who are Asian or middle eastern, and they are different. Humans come in varieties, varieties that are something like what we call race.
It's a fact that the races are different in my eyes.
I don't look down on interracial couples or anything but I do have to try a little bit for this to happen.
I think if we mix what is called race we will disadvantage our offspring. Because the races genetically value different things. You mix them and you get a person with inherent contradictions. They are still capable of all human things but I really, really worry... and I have been very openminded, I really worry these biracial people are not capable of the greatness that purer raced people are. They are weak in spirit.
I'm really sorry if this sounds nazi or bigoted but I guess I only talk about it because it's the internet and I can't get punched in the face. I wouldn't discuss this IRL, only I would say if asked that I think the races are different, nothing more.
If it weren't for people like me asking questions and making observations about these things instead of dogmatically accepting that we are all the same there would be no progress.
I am quite strong with this position. I overheard a smart freethinking Asian girl talking about how we are different in Melbourne once. Another intellectual guy I know who lives with Asians/Thailanders thinks we're different.
I only want the best for humanity, and I think the truth is the best thing for humanity to have.
