I heard this story about a dad with his kids at, I want to say Walmart, and this person assumed he was abducting the girls because he wasn't black like they were.
Needless to say he was their dad and he loves them and it was a massive mistake.
But it made me question if I'd actually think that way too.
People have said they could tell I was mixed by just looking at me.
My dad is mostly Mexican and Native American with a little German and my mom is pretty much mostly European and Native American.
But looking at my parents, you see my mom is white and my dad is Mexican.
I...never thought of myself as looking mixed.
I just see ME. It's hard to see anything different.
So I really don't care if people date the same race or different races as long as they're happy and I don't care if the kids look like them or don't - as long as the parents love them.
I mean people also adopt, so it's not really that weird to see a white dad with a black daughter or a Mexican mother with an Asian daughter.
I've sadly spent most of my life watching other people live theirs.
I tend to watch everything people near me do, especially since I feel my anxiety is constantly high around strangers.
So I'd most likely look at body language before assuming something based on race, age, sex, etc.
If the adult is acting strangely nervous or if the child looks upset or confused - then it causes me concern.
I mean, I'm not that good with kids and I don't care for being around them because they do make me anxious but even when I hear them play scream, I automatically start looking for creepers.
Which brings me to my next issue.
I always see people say it's weird for a male to be alone at a park, watching kids play.
I'm probably biased because I am a watcher and I watch other people live, but I think it's kind of rude to assume that a male is creeping but not give a second thought if it's a female.
Like I watch people all the time. It's completely harmless and more of a safety and learning experience.
But sometimes people make me smile and that's why I watch them.
There was this family across town that always has their large kitchen window open.
We've gone by there numerous times and saw them sitting down to eat dinner.
I just want to stare at them and smile because it gives me happiness to see them happy.
So why isn't it possible for a male to be the same way?
Isn't it wrong to just go "OMGCREEPER!" without looking more into it?
