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

    People are rude and nosey. Nothing much you can do about it except craft a good response that makes them feel like shit and might make them think before speaking next time.

    My ex-gf was a Punjabi mother of 4. I'm white and people often gave us strange looks.

    As a biracial person with a step parent I will say this. It happens all the time when I am out with my step dad. Ignore them because it's really none of their business. Or if you make eye contact with them just smile and wave. That's what I do.

    If they confront you about it just explain you are not her bio mom and that it's none of their business. Making a huge deal out of rude people only makes them worse so don't feed into it. Hope this helps and trust me not everyone is a heartless jerk. :)
