Well, that's a classic nature/nurture question. Beliefs about race are learned, so unless the person has a clinical superiority complex (attributed to a real disorder which could have physiological causes), then yes it's just the way they're raised. They received messages (explicit or implicit) from the people around them that they are better, and they act accordingly. But this could be true of the way lots of children are raised, not just multiracial children. I've seen plenty of spoiled/entitled children in my day, and you need look no farther than the parents to learn where they got it from.
BQ: Adults compare children to their peers all the time, assuming that the children won't understand what they're talking about. And children learn quickly how they measure up in the eyes of other people.

No. A lot of there superiority complexes are learnt by there environment and experiences of people constantly telling them that they are 'really pretty' from a young age up to their adult hood..
(nOT All are like this but many are even if they don't necessarily show it)..
BQ- People (adults, friends, media etc) need to stop over endorsing mixed race people and constantly tell them that they are pretty.

It's only in the past few years that attention has been placed on mixed race peoples. They were really unheard of, BUT in the last few years, there has been a movement to recognize "mixed race" individuals, and it has become a trend and popular to be mixed race, since it has been focused on quite a lot. I like to be involved in mixed race identities and movements because I think it is good to recognize. Many people complain about mixed race peoples, but few really understand the environment and background a mixed race individual grows up with. Being mixed race is not a "novelty" as many like to assume. being mixed race is an "experience", and you will notice that mixed race kids do deal with different issues in society compared to mono-racial others) because their parents happen to be different races.
Mixed race is an identity, it is a sense of belonging. Knowing and looking/recognizing other mixed race people like myself is great. And you will notice....other mixed people always know and recognize other mixed peoples. It gives you a sense of realizing that there are others who may have had a similar upbringing and having to deal with similar issues that one has to put up with as a mixed race individual! For example, most mixed race children will find that people stare at them when there are with one of their parents who happens to be the different from what they look. Like a white mom walking with a bi-racial child...many would question if that his her son/daughter- because of skin color etc.
It is very important, as parents who are bringing up mixed race children to make sure that they teach them to love all aspects of themselves, teach and engage them in their cultures, history they inherited..Do not just enforce just ONE culture only. Expose them to all the cultures/races that they are mixed with.

i think of interracial mixing is a competent situation because of the fact it KILLS racism White human beings have become a minority that's an excellent situation interior the destiny everybody would be INTERRACIAL usa would be some thing like Brazil whilst it includes the way human beings look i'm effective while you're black some easy skinned mixed females make you experience undesirable because of the fact it form of feels some black human beings are smitten with the help of being lighter yet examine out different communities like ITALIAN human beings all of them pass tanning and are smitten with the help of looking dark and absence of existence their hair black.....
