What do you mean what am I talking about? Isn't this thread about your Asian mom is getting dissed by your bigoted white relatives because of her ethnicity/culture, or does it have nothing to do with it?? If not, why make references to her and her in-laws' ethnicities?

It does have to do with ethnicity. I just have no idea why you implied I thought whites to be 'colorblind', etc.

You didn't realize that I was being sarcastic with the word "colorblind".

[halfbreed]

I did, I just don't understand what you're trying to get at with it.

Look, I was simply pointing out, again, the disgusting audacious hypocrisy of the white people in general when it comes to their denial of racism, is all.

[halfbreed]

I'm not white and I don't recall mentioning any white people ever denying being racist.

I have a half sister that is white by my dad's second marriage. She has met my mom several times, my step mom has always been really kind to my mom even though my mom is crazy they have all treated her like they do anybody else.
My half sister doesn't seem to think much about me being half asian, she actually has been taking up mandarin as a second language in high school since my dad suggested it to her since spanish and mandarin is a popular language in southern Cali.
Family friends that are white have never treated my mom different as well, I don't think I can recall anyone ever saying anything racist or being rude to her ever. My dad's side family and friends are pretty open and generally loving people.
For my mom, she is not like that at all, she is pretty racist and will make others feel uncomfortable, even if they are asian to but it's on and off, she is pretty two faced.

I have 5 "white" siblings. But two of them are part sami (lapp).

Has anybody got a half brother or sister that's full Asian or white? If they're Asian, how do they get along with your white parent? If they're white, how do they get along with your Asian parent?

Also, how does your white parent's friends treat your Asian parent and vice versa?


I have a white half-sister. She's really mean to my Asian mother (e.g. sending my father and I presents at Christmas, etc. and 'accidentally' forgetting to send my mother's - or when she actually does have one, putting it on the bench and 'forgetting' to give it to her until everyone else has finished opening theirs). She also must've bitched about her because when my mum went to greet one of my sister's guests (my sister and her boyfriend brought a friend to stay in our spare apartment), she offered her hand for a handshake and he said, "I'm not shaking your hand." I may cut off my sister for this.

Also, my white dad's white friends are mean to my mum. They ignore her and snap at her for no reason. My mum's friends treat my dad like a person.

Wow. No offense, but your sister sounds like a rabid bitch. And WTF is wrong with your father's friends? Jesus. I'm actually starting to see red just from reading this post, I want to kick someone's ass now. That's so f**ked up.

Anyway, I have no monoracial half-siblings that I know of.

I have .. hmm, well I'm not sure how many exactly, full white half-brothers and sisters since my Dad 'conveniently' never mentioned the exact number nor their ages, names etc. (quite a few years before he married my Mum - they're now divorced though.)

My Dad comes from a very posh background so I'm not sure how convenient his little interracial marriage must have appeared to his previous family. Just judging by him and the sortof woman I'd expect him to marry beforehand, I quite frankly do not want to meet my half-siblings and probably never will.

I have a half brother and sister that's full white from my dads previous wife.. they treat my mom pretty well, like an aunt or something. but yeah, i don't really have a good relationship with them.

I have a half sister who is Swiss/French
I have a half brother who is Colombian/French
I have another half sister who I think is Puerto Rican/French

I think they could all pass for "White" in the common use of the word with the exception my last sister.

Gotta watch out for those French guys...

I guess you are half french/half asian, right?

[Kush]

I don't but I do have two Asian nephews...
I'm surprised by how many people that do - a half brother/sister is someone who has one parent in common with you right?
Sorry, it's late

Do you have a pic with your half-siblings? Can you show me next time? Have you ever had a meeting together?

I've got an older white half-brother from my dad's previous marriage. He treats my mother as his own, probably since he's had a pretty explosive relationship with his own mother for as long as I can remember. In fact, when he got married two years ago, my mother was the one who escorted him down the aisle.

I also was raised to call him Kuya and still do. He doesn't bat an eyelash, so I guess the Asian thing doesn't weird him out.

Unfortunately, I don't. The Swiss is the eldest of us all. I actually don't know where she is. I lost contact with her when I was in the 7th grade. Los Angeles was where I last saw her. The other two are babies. I've seen them both, but I don't have any pictures. The boy is probably close to 10yrs old. The other is a toddler. I'm not really close with any of them, or my father's side of the family for that matter.
