Today's acceptance of mixed race families

Transcription:

The experience of today's mixed race kids will be very different than it was for children, even a generation ago. There are more mixed race kids then, for example, when I was growing up. It's not unusual to go to school with mixed kids, to have friends that are mixed. It can be African American and White, Asian and White, various mixtures. Depending on where you live mixed families are part of the fabric of the community. It wasn't like that when I was growing up, we were the only mixed family. People stared and made comments and I just don't see that happening as much today, thankfully.
