My half sister is full Thai from my moms previous marriage. But I consider her my real sister and always has, since she was there before I was even born. Dad always considered her his own and vice versa also, so no family drama here really.

well, this might sound weird but I'm (and my other full siblings)considered the full raced half sibling. My mum was born to half asian half black parents (both of her parents) and back in the day they were just considered black, and that's how my mum's side of the family identifies basically. Also, i'm only like a 1/4 Asian and ppl treat that as being nothing. So, my dad remarried to this indonesian girl and had a couple of more kids, and they see me as black too. Anyway, I get along great w/ my step mum, we spend a lot of time together and She gets along w/ my other sibs aswell. Her and my mum even get along pretty well. As for my white family (my dad is mixed), Most of them don't even know my dad's married or even know my dad much at all. We have almost no contact. Actually, calling them family feels weird, being around them is kind of like being around a colleague you had at work years back that you never got to know or hang out with. They're basically just ppl we happen to share blood lines with.

I have some really young and very sweet fully white half siblings. They have known my other siblings and I from birth though so they don't really seem to register a huge difference between all of us, except that they're blonde! I have to admit they do sometimes make me think it would be nice to resemble your parents, but only momentarily. We all get along quite well.

Siblings?
No, but I got a full-Asian stepsister ever since her dad married my mum. Who I had quite a few dirty thoughts about once haha!

My mother never remarried and I'm grateful for that, I had to battle far too much opposition for one life. 2/3 of pollsters have monoracials siblings is an awfully high proportion. Are mixed-race couples more likely to divorce and remarry or come from failed unions than the rest of the population? What could explain it?

I think that's true statistically speaking. I know it's true for religions and I think there is evidence for race too. Gary Becker has some articles about this. I don't know if the differences in divorce/remarriage rates are that big compared to baseline divorce rates though but they are statistically significant.

My dad never remarried or ever had a girlfriend after my mum:/ Dont know if its good or bad. He said he did it because of us kids...
My mum on the other side, has been married several times.
Maybe its like extraordinary to marry someone from a completely different ethnicity than you, meaning that those who do it are more "risk takers" and will also be connected to some unstable behaviour and be at higher risk for divorse. Just a thought, dont know if its true:)
