As someone with a mixed-race daughter, I suppose I've put strangely little thought into this whole issue. Maybe because it's complicated, but also because to me, she's uniquely her, and I don't really look at her with an eye towards identifying racial strains in her appearance. Perhaps in some sense that's a naive way to go about it, but there you are. Living in the Bay Area, I'm honestly not sure how or what effect her heritage--at least as expressed in a physical, phenotypical manifestation--will have on her growing up. I've always just assumed it would be neutral or positive, and I hope that's not being naive, either.
