You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I honestly believe you are using your daughter as an excuse for why it is ok to be racist. Because that is what you are displaying, is racist jargon. Were you confused because of your Irish/Italian heritage? Not only are they different races, but also different nationalities. You probably don’t consider yourself multi-ethnic but you are. Just because both of your parents’ skin colors are white doesn’t mean that you are not the product of a ‘mixing of the races.’ By you denying this, you are saying that as long as those of European descent mix, then it’s ok. Are we not all humans? It isn’t like we want to breed or have relationships with other species. If anything, don’t you think that your racist attitude could ‘confuse’ your daughter as well convey your predjudice to her? Speaking from experience of being the product of an interracial marriage, I can’t say that I could have been raised in a family with more love and acceptance in it. In fact, it is my opinion that being in a family with differing ethnic/racial backgrounds has made me appreciate diversity and be a more accepting person. So, if your going to maintain your racist views, then fine. But do us the common courtesy of admitting to it instead of using your daughter as a mask.
