Bi-Bi discriminant!

For those who arent aware, torrie is biracial, her father is "african-american and indian" and I am obviously white, irish and italian to be exact, so although she may not look mixed she most certainately is. For me, knowing ancestery is important, and I believe for her father is is equally as important, we both plan on sharing with our daughter the social norms/ traditions of our very different cultures. Hopefully this will help her in our country that is very diverse to be a more well-rounded child who can easily adapt and understand the other cultures we live among.
which brings me to my anger, im angry with society- there are so many stereotypes and "social areas" its just -wait a minute im getting angry again and its starting to not make sense.
Torrie had a black doll, it was a cheap one that broke, well actually she ripped its arms out so i threw it away and decided to just buy her a more quality black doll. I travel for work, one of the areas i work in is a well to do area where the population is not diverse as it is 90 percent caucasion. I went to their walmart one lunch break to buy food and also to pick up a dolly for torrie. Not only did they have NOT ONE black doll, but they only had ONE (i think its hispanic) doll. The rest were white, blonde hair and blue eyes, I bought the hispanic one, i woulda bought an asian one if they had it also. I dont care what type of doll it is, i plan on buying her any ethnicity they make for dolls. children need diversity, that is what is wrong with this world. (By the way this has nothing to do with torrie being biracial, because if she wasnt i would still be teaching her that everyone is equal.) I just feel like this is terrible, its so discriminant, and your teaching the children in this area is that basically the most popular this is a caucasion with blonde hair and blue eyes. I just feel sad for these kids and their future, but i also confirm with myself that I am doing the right thing.

I have to move on from this subject, if you dont agree I dont care, I dont even want to hear your opinion, its a sad world out there and all i know is that I have friends in all shapes sizes and colors.

I also went to the doctors for myself, I got a whole mixture of bad news that was expected and I will do a separate post on that when I have more definate details.

And Finally!
can we say bad hair day??
