Is it normal my boyfriend has a mixed daughter and we are white
Obviously it's normal, but what I mean is that I notice her race a lot. I've grown up in a very diverse place all my life, don't think once about race, but with her I do. My boyfriend became a father when he was 16, the mother was black so his daughter is light skin. We're both 22 now, and a lot of people give us the side eye when they see us all together, or they make jokes about him not being the father and that I cheated with a black guy, even though she isn't even mine
He's learned to shrug this treatment off unless they target his daughter then he gets rowdy. But it's just sort of embarrassing. I love her, she's an absolute joy and extremely intelligent, she comes first to him no matter what, I just feel separated because of her race.
It's really hard to explain
