Skin colour comments

Same husband is Pakistani Not had the adopted comment yet but the constant comments on his colour is exhausting

Some people honestly , absolute idiots Sorry I have nothing to say regarding your post xx

Not adopted but my partner is very pale and I'm quite dark but my son came out quite light so people on the street have asked if he's mine lol I just brush it off as curiosity

@Micha I was dating someone and when he met my son he turned and said he looks adopted, especially being out with us both as we were both super pale. But I couldn’t flip my lid at him because we were in the park and i had my boy. We arent together anhnkre!

@Anabella I don’t get how they can be so rude. It’s shocking x

That’s never okay for people to say that. So sorry this has happened to you. My son is lighter than me and my husband is quite pale and I constantly get comments that my son “should be darker” I usually just smile and say “what an odd comment to make”, “Sorry say that again” (usually makes them feel stupid as they have to repeat it) or I just pretend I didn’t hear it

I’m so sorry you’ve experienced this. I’ve never had my daughter be called adopted but do get comments on her skin colour. I’m white and her dad is black Nigerian. I’ve had people ask why her skin isn’t darker, why her skin isn’t lighter. I’ve had people say they are jealous that my daughter is mixed race and theirs isn’t. They comment on how quickly she tans and think she’s more beautiful because of it then when her skin gets much darker, comment that she’s too dark or looks dirty. It’s crazy the amount of comments you get and how vile they all are. For me it depends on the person saying it. Sometimes I’ll just walk off. Other times I tell people that I’m sorry their family has to deal with a racist or they should educate themselves before speaking. Sometimes I’m just in pure shock and it’s harder to react in the moment. There never feels like a right way to react. I just try to show my daughter that these comments are wrong and that I’ll always stand up for her

Yep I had this with my eldest , as he’s very light skinned and I’m Malaysian always asked if he was adopted
