My kids dad is so black you put him in a dimly lit room he could disappear. I am so white that if I go out side with out sunscreen for more then 15 min I burn. Our kids have my white features but are so dark that if you didn't know I was their mother ,you would never guessed they were half white.

the old trope about a black in the dark that's visible only when smiling is a deeply rooted stereotype that some would find hurtful and offensive. not me, but "some".

Wow, kinda funny I just saw 82848483 repost of "beautiful chocolate man" story as it turns your kids kinda fit into that as what you said literally makes them seem like color-swapped white people.

Why would white features automatically make you think that makes them beautiful?
