Could we have an "interracial" talk topic?

[toky]

I would dearly love to talk to other mums in mixed relationships, about all the issues of mixed-race kids etc. I know I could start a general mixed race thread (and will do if this request is turned down), but there are so many 'sub-threads' I'd have to end up starting, from the thorny political issue of mixed-race hair to in-law (in)sensitivity, etc etc!

Can I join too please? Don't mind what it ends up being called

Well yingers, either Multicultural Parenting or ... Interracial Parenting?

Both are fine with me, i guess with the first, more people would be included as marina said. I would fit into both.

Heinz 57?

Sorry I shouldn't be flip.....
I'm in a mixed/multicultural relationship
I think I'd prefer Multicultural
But as my DD has only recently got her own racial group on questionaires - the name might be less important

Oh brill - the thread I've been waiting for but didn't know until now! Yes, me and dh are a multiracial pair -languages, religions, culture the lot is different for the two of us. Would love to hear how other people work through these issues. Our pressing one at the moment is dh's homesickness and my reluctance to relocate.

Shimmy21, that is one i don't have to worry about. both of us are london born, although he would love to leave london for anywhere else!!! I love london and can't see myself ever moving far.

Would transcultural be a suitable name?

That makes me think of Rocky Horror - sorry! I'm just a sweet transvestite, from transcultural Transylvania. It could just me my strange brain though....

Is that a bad thing Marthamoo ?

Well maybe

It's probably just me, KatieM .....just have this image of Tim Curry in fishnets now.

Dh would love to go back but luckily for me it's not possible for lots of reasons.

What about 'mixed race/culture families'?

I see your point.

That sounds OK to me, shimmy - more self explanatory.

I'm in too! My dd is also mixed race, and I'm, erm, not really mixed race but, multiethnic?
How about multiethnic parenting for a thread title? Would that cover everything?

Like that one.

I think that covers most eventualities (this is nothing to do with me btw - I'm just nosy!)

How do we get it to happen?

A new topic I mean (not a multi ethnic rerlationship!)

marthamoo - lol u are funny!

Well, Carrie's aware of this thread - they'll get on it I would have thought. Don't think you need to email thenm or anything - lou or missuswoman would know but they don't seem to be around tonight.

lol
