Re: Multi-Race Family
Agreed and I have two lovely daughters to support that theory...one here and one back in Kenya...both will be handfuls I'm sure when they become teenagers.

Although I find Asian/white to be the best mix

Re: Multi-Race Family
Can well believe it - my eldest & youngest both got the Asian brown eyes, my middle daughter has grey-blue eyes from the Irish side... Eldest has dark hair, little two both are dark blonde - all three have perma-tans... When they were little, people used to stop me in the street and comment on how gorgeous they are...

I have always said that mongrels are the best.

Re: Multi-Race Family
I am part of a multi-racial family. Father and step mother were living in Dubai for around 10 years. He is a Brit and my step mother is Nigerian. They never had any problems here in Dubai as a mixed family. In fact, when I took my little brothers out to the malls they were mistaken for arabs and everyone assumed they were my kids and I was married to a local. My step brothers and their uncle are in Dubai aswell.
The only problem I am aware of is that a couple of times my step mother had been out with a few friends and if none of them were white they were refused entry to some bars.
My youngest brother was asked to draw a picture of his family at school in the UK. The teacher thought he was making it up when he drew two white women with red hair, two black men and two brown boys. It was only when my sister picked him up from school the teacher realised it wasnt his vivid imagination! There really are 6 of us and the ages range from 5 to 33!

Whether it is someone or a business, they have no right.
Then take the complaint to the Dubai Tourism Authority.
Hopefully the more people that do this, then we can get the racists deported or shut down.

Re: Multi-Race Family
Having been called "a mongrel" at school, I for one feel that this term is highly offensive
