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?

If I saw someone with a child of a different skin color, my first guess would be adoption. I wouldn't think they were kidnapping the kid unless they were literally grabbing the kid while the kid was screaming, "He's not my dad!" or something along those lines.

If I saw a guy in a park, I would usually assume that he was watching his kid play or something. Unless maybe if he looked really sketchy, and showed up alone, and hadn't interacted with anyone, and kept looking around to see if anyone was watching him, etc. I would be far less suspicious of a woman because women commit far fewer violent crimes against random children.

I think it's because men are a lot more likely to be creepers.
But sure, there are a lot of nice men who like to watch kids play because the kids are having fun and it makes them smile.

And I think that the different race kids and parent thing happens to women too sometimes. I've actually seen it. Like the kid will be part black and the mom is white. They assume it's not their kid. I think that's just a common misconception now a days.

When I see kids in stores, I always look around and see if their parents are around.
I've been like "Oh 8u" when the mom shows up and is a different race.
I just assume she has a husband that has darker skin or she adopted.
It worries me when I see kids alone so I watch them =_=

I don't really think anything when I see parents that have a child of a mixed or completely different race. I guess because I grew up around a very multicultural society, I don't think about it a ton. It's normal to me to see mixed race families.

I remember hearing about that story awhile back now, and thinking how dumb would someone have to be to automatically assume someone kidnapped two children purely based on appearance. That's pure, deep-seated racism right there.

As for watching, yeah I think depending on the person it can appear creepy no matter the gender. Some people just have a weird vibe and you can tell when they are watching someone malevolently. Others are just observers. I get that. I really want to have a baby, so almost any time I am near a cute baby or toddler I can't help but stare and smile. I sure hope it doesn't come off as creepy.
