Couple has twins -- 1 black, 1 white

October 24, 2006
It can be tough to tell twins apart, but not for new mom Kylie Hodgson. The difference between her two daughters is black and white.

Hodgson was startled by her twins after she gave birth, according to London's Daily Mail. One, Remee, was fair and blond. The other, Kian, was black. Hodgson and her boyfriend are both biracial. AP

Quit your bitchin.

[vashti]

That is better, because now we can see the picture of cute little babies.

Why aren't you at school, skaterboy?

[Kiechi]

Isn't that the result of having 2 sets of DNA?

[vashti]

No - the kids are bi-racial.

[Kiechi]

No - the kids are bi-racial.

So are the parents.

Those kids are pretty cute.

I have some friends who are both very dark but ended up with a blonde, blue-eyed child. The mother has been accused of "jumping the fence".

I wonder how the difference in skin color will affect them both over the course of their lives. It would be hard to watch your sibling suffer the effects of racism when you haven't...

Racism is good. Thickens the skin.

And what makes you think the parents haven't experienced racism?

[vashti]

I am sure they did. (Both parents are bi-racial.) However, you have one child who looks white, and another who looks black living in the same house. They will not have the same experiences. Know what I mean?

Thats whats confusing me.

Is that poorly worded? The white kid will probably not experience racsim (except vicariously perhaps) while the black kid will.

You're a racism.

I read your post wrong (dur). Sorry, lack of sleep.

Zarathu, she isn't racism, she is racialist innit. Bo.
