Biracial children better when mom is white?

Question

So recently I was hanging out with a group of friends, some of which I knew from high school and some I made later in life/at work. So we all were just talking and then out of no where one of my friends goes: "You should be happy your mom is white. My mom is awful." I kinda laughed it off at first and asked what she meant by that. This friend in particular is Biracial just like me but she has a black mom. We have known each other since 9th grade. Anyway she goes on to explain that when Black women have Biracial children they treat their Biracial kids better than they would a fully black child. She said she is the only one of her siblings that is mixed and her mom treated her like a toy always dressing her up all the time... snapping countless pictures. She said it made her fully black sisters dislike her. She then went on to pull up some bogus website study about how Biracial kids with white moms do actually turn out better. I told her she shouldn't believe everything she reads. She brushed me off.

Then another girl( not a friend of mine just a friend of a friend) said: "Biracial black white mix is boring and common. That mix is nothing special in my book I wouldn't treat that child any different than any other child. Now a better mix with prettier babies is black and Asian. Those babies are cuter, rarer and smarter. More exotic if you ask me." I tried to hold in my anger but for some reason I couldn't and all the other girls agreed with her comment except for me. I was very disgusted so I ended up leaving before I could finish my food. I got a to go box and paid at the front. My friend texted me this morning calling me rude😒 I don't think we can be friends anymore.

I'm surprised people really even think these things let alone say them.

Answer

Wow 😳, you have some shitty friends and I would let them all go after that. They have showed their true colors, that is something I would never condone from anyone let alone my friends. Just go your separate way they not even worth the explanation of why you distance yourself. That is disgusting and ethnocentrism at its core.

Answer

These people are whack. I think they're just generalizing based on their messed up experiences.

Answer

As a mixed child, my father is white South African my mother is kreole Seychellois, I can say honestly that my parents never seemed to care or treat us any differently though my sisters and I came out vastly different. My eldest sister has the deepest pigment of the three of us, my middle sister is pale as can be, and I the youngest have an olive complexion. Now to my extended family, there is a clear distinction, my middle sister is constantly praised for how beautiful she is, how pretty her skin, how rare her green eyes; that sort of thing while my eldest sister and I are seen as "common". It was awful, and as a child I wished I could be as pale as my sister, I wished I didn't have plain dark eyes, why was she special and not me? As an adult I see that I'm beautiful, unique, and fuck those people they should be ashamed.

Answer

That's crazy! Coming from someone who has a black mother and a Korean father, my mother is amazing. Race has nothing to do with you being a good parent or not.
