My mom's from iceland and my Dad it's From Cuba








I'm an ice cube

[erotiszm]

The girl who's family are all white and she's black… I don't know what her name is but she's really pretty

[lucidladyleo]

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m starting to believe that only Americans identify themselves by race. It seems like other nationalities identify themselves based on country of origin

[ceve]

Meanwhile in South America most just assume everyone is mixed.

"Last time I looked in the mirror I was defiantly black" omg 😂😭😭

[KylaGrace]

I didn't think this would be a video about mixed race or adopted kids. I thought it would be kids who are genetically 100% related to their parents but don't look like them. LOL. Cuz that's my case.

*"When You Don’t Look Like Your Parents"* it doesn't matter when they *_love_* you with all their _heart_ and for *who you are*

[QueenMegaera]

Take away from this: a lot of people feel entitled to ask others really rude and weird questions for no apparent reason.

[jheevanesh]

When ppl see my dad they say I look like him, when ppl see my mom they say I look like TF do I look like???

[ananyagupta]

The two half indian girls actually do look like their moms. They have similar features. Its just the skin tone that is different.

[betherzki]

it made me sad that the woman's brother actually had to convince his friend that their dad was half black to understand that she's family

[hawaaaa]

I thought the title said "When You Don't Like Your Parents" 🤦🏾‍♀️😂😂

[anikeadefowora]

2:39 ok can we just talk about how beautiful that family is ??

[emmae]

This random lady once told me and my mom a long story about how and where she adopted her children from, because once she saw that I had darker skin and my mom didn't, the lady just assumed that I was adopted even though it's just because my dad is black smh

[purpleaimee]

Why is race such a big thing in America?

[jaycobbina]

My birth parents were British but I was raised part of my childhood by a Ghanaian woman.

When BuzzFeed used to make decent content.

[alejandrointhetux]

My parents are both wolves, so I get this kind of sh*t all the time!
