Wife: "It's a joke, but it's not funny."
Husband: "No, it's not funny... It is funny, though."
And THAT is a true hallmark of marriage.
yea wife, remaining pathetic
Well that sounds like a divorce 😉
Well if they really did have any doubt they could always take a test. I'm pretty sure that it is their kid because genetics are crazy. There's been a case where two white couples had a black child. They took a test and it was their biological child. They did an ancestry search and it turns out one of the couples had a black family member. That's genetics for ya.
@@justsayalhamdulillaah9720 you dont need a black ancestor, facial structures aside, color is coded in the DNA via addition of darkening and lightening genes, extremes aside most people have a mix so with a low probability it is possible to have a child with a darker skintone
@Jeremiah M alhamdulilah means praise is for god. Its normal said in the context of gratitude outside of prayer. Its also the main response you'll get out of a muslim if you ask how are you like 99% of the time.
"since conception" : GENIUS lady but makes me sad that people say that to her...
Lele M it was a cute answer but, it could still make her seem like the help.
She came back with a clever answer. From conception is right!
Mil Estrellas Same.
How common is it to have a nanny these days that people can have that as their first assumption??
It’s so rude to ask things like that, it’s like assuming someone is pregnant.
My mom is asian and my dad is white, when she walked around with us she was once asked how long she had been with the family. She responded, " too long and they dont pay enough"
She's definitely not insecure =P
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
lol your mum is great
HAHAHA
All these couples are really good looking..damn
That’s why they’re on TV silly
"Awww is she adopted?"
Shattered my little sister ... she had a full fledged identity crisis for months
People: hold ya mouths
People: Raise your kids to have enough self esteem so they won't have a 'full fledged identity crisis' when someone says a few mean words.
marsnz don’t be a weenie
this is so hurtful.........i grew up hearing these things................no matter how much our parents teach us not to care about thes things..............dude we r human beings..............its natural to feel bad after hearing this things
@Talita Castro i know right............but aactually anyone in the world dont have any big deal to handle in their childhood times.....so it actually becomes a big deal then........anyways i m grown up now....that doesnt matter to me now....but when i was immature and young...it hurt me ....thats what i wanna say......ur beautiful childhood times shouldnt be filled with this kind of stupid judgements......but at the end it makes u to be a stronger person than ever.....
@Talita Castro when you're made to feel different everyday. People develop a sense of lacking belongingness. And at a young age, that can be severely detrimental, mentally. Sure, parents should step in, boost their child's confident and all that jazz but they aren't psychologists. A lot of the time, it feels right to just ingore the issue, not bring it up in hopes that it won't affect their child.
That Asian woman with the long hair is absolutely stunning. My goodness. Her and the Indian guy make such a beautiful couple.
Two different types of Asian :) so beautiful
They're both Asian, though.
They! Are! Both! Asian!
Not really, and the Indian guy looked hella weird..
They are both asian soo
My husband is Korean and I'm white. Nothing against adoption (something we have considered), but I feel a rage build in me when people have asked where my children came from. "My vagina, Linda. "
Oh well. That is kinda annoying
I think people confuse "culture" and "ethnicity".
@Isabelle Ivask we are all of the same race. Only one human race exists anymore, neanderthals and denisovians were the last living other two human species.
@@i.elpunkt8473 Finally someone understands!!
It's nice to see interracial couples make it to the altar and create families. I'm sure it's tough navigating a world full of discrimination.
Depends which type of couples and which type of families... You wouldn't want any more Eliot Rodgers running around.
Yes at times it is difficult but only because in America ignorance is at a all time high #beenswirlingfor17years
Trust me, 80% of the time only happens in the US. Travel around the globe and find out sista! Gotta say I felt super bad when I found out about the truth, and I'm an American.
Wholesome comment
Anyone saying America is the most ignorant or America is the most racist whatever needs to have things put in perspective. In China people almost always assume my black friends are African. When they say they're American they say "no you're not. That's not possible..if you're American why is your skin so dark." Not even that but in some clubs in EVEN beijing and Shanghai black people are not allowed inside.
Claire Unabia is beautiful, she does resemble Karlie Kloss. Its nice to know she is a Filipino from Hawaii.
Rafael Frigillana I was wondering why I heard a little bit pidgin when she was talking.
She doesn't look Filipino at all, though.
Geri Jokub One of her parents is white
She was on america next top model
@@gerijokub7737 but her eldest daughter looks like a mestiza filipina
Claire's kids are such CUTIES!!! I couldn't deal
I grew up in a multicultural family (my dad is white and my mom is half black half asian) and I can’t tell you how many times strangers have asked my parents if I was adopted/ assumed we weren’t related 😔
Word to the wise, people: just don’t ask those types of questions. You’re more likely to just offend people.
Just one of the annoying things about being in a biracial family especially a black and white one, is that we don't look like a family unless all 4 of us are together, however, even then people still question if we are a family. Just recently, my parents, sister, and I were in line at a bagel shop in Northern Arizona, when we got to the cashier, he said, "so you guys are buying three bagels and your friend's over there" that friend being my white mother who was still choosing her bagel, we didn't correct him because we are used to it and it's funny to us now, but good thing my mom didn't hear him lol. She went off on a young lady once when my sister and I were 5 and 6 also waiting in line with her but at a grocery store and the cashier asked if we three were together...there was no one else in line but us three lol. I remember as early as 1st grade, when my mom would pick me up from school kids would ask me if I was adopted. I had a lot of identity problems growing up, am I black? am I white? I kind of had to figure these questions out on my own. We live in a society where you are forced to be one or the other. Anyway I could talk about this for days, but I feel I have typed to much, I apologies. These multicultural videos really do hit home for me, and I hope these parents can understand that there kids might also struggle with their own identities.
Joshua I absolutely agree! I've always had identity issues trying to identify myself as one or the other. Plus, when my extended family gets together they always try to treat me as if I'm part of their race (sometimes they'll talk trash about the other one). I honestly could rant about this forever too, but I'm so glad you commented this! I love it when multiracial people can talk about the same issues we face as a "racial group", even though we look nothing alike.
Joshua Wow people are ignorant.
Josh I feel sad for u
I had the same problem. When I was little everybody asked to my grandma if she was the housekeeper because she was a black women with a little blonde girl, I always laughed at the face of the people when she responded "I'm her grandmother" . It was extremely strange in Spain seeing people like my family . Now it's more common but this is still a very racist country.
Some groups pay separately, I ain't paying for yo darn soda Bob.
viqar & kimberly are such a STRIKING couple. the exude elegance and class.
These couples are so beautiful! I’m confused though, how do people find it weird that a fair skinned woman and an Asian looking man had a fair skinned baby? 🤔
I know this is from a year ago, but I think they were talking about the child that has blond hair and blue eyes. My guess is that the husband must have some recessive genes. I also assume the child's hair will darken as she ages.
@@emem2863 I think he is already mixed European and East Asian
@@sambros2 Well that would explain the blond hair and blue eyes. I guess because he looks mostly Asian, people who aren't used to mixed race people and families don't understand that there are a lot of genetic combinations within the couple's offspring.
@@emem2863 Yes I’m mixed European and South Asian myself, looking mostly south Asian. But I have the recessive genes for blonde hair and blue eyes. I wanna see if I can get kids with brown skin and blue eyes
@@sambros2 You'd likely have to reproduce with someone who only has blue eyes in his or her genetics.
The love on the Indian guy's face when he was looking at his wife is what people should aspire for💜💜
My aunt is Indian and her husband is French. I couldn't really understand what all the fuss my aunt used to make about the cultural differences between them, but now that I have a French boyfriend....yeah I feel ya now auntie. But I love him, and I wouldn't have it any other way 💕
OMG claire and her husband have beautiful girls!
Love when the wives/husbands watching their partner when they're talking...that's enough to show how deeply they love their partners
Love the way Tali was speaking to the camera but her eyes moved to lock gaze with Taj her husband, and both of their focus on each other were communicating to the camera. Sublime but electric!
seeing these multi cultural marriages is just pure bliss, maybe that the future of world peace ! no racial discrimination , no differences just pure love and tolerance.
It will never happen. Why? Colorism still exist as well as race passing
My dad’s from the Middle East. My mom’s from Russia. I live in the U.S.
Growing up in three different cultures was probably one of the most amazing things that has ever happened to me
I’m a mixed child Japanese & Portuguese. In Portugal I look Asian & in Japan I Look American or Portuguese...
Wow. Interesting.
Although, people need to understand that American or Portuguese are not ethnicities/races; They're nationalities with mixed genetics.
I've never seen more beautiful couples. They are just perfect
Kimberly has such GORGEOUS melanin.
I’m half polish and half Mexican and have the most wonderful parents ever 💖
What people should never say is assume the race of a biracial kid's parents. I always have people assuming that my mum is Asian, while my dad is White, but it's the opposite. My mum is Austrian, and Dad is Thai.
Also, I can relate with the 'shocked because of their strawberry blonde hair'. My little sister is 11 months old and has white blonde hair, glassy blue eyes and tanned skin, whereas I have dark eyes, dark hair, and fair skin. Neither of my parents have blue eyes, my mum has green eyes and caramel brown hair, and dad has dark brown eyes and black hair.
TheBlackSwordsman87 oh my god, there’s variations in looks in people?! I’d never known it’s almost like mixed people are still people
@@AimForMyHead81 what kind of theory is that haha
This is crazy and so cool!
@@a.a6998 a stupid theory
You all sound really beautiful. :)
Claire, Mathew and their daughters are such a beautiful family❤️😱
My father is African American and my mother is Euro- Asian while my Husband is Mexican. You can imagine our children are very blended. I was once at a water park with my family and it was crowded at the ticket booth so naturally I was keeping them very close. Suddenly I look down and my son is not beside me any longer.. I panic then see that one of the park staff is carrying him off. Immediately I run after him and say "Excuse me, where are you going?!!!" He doesn't stop but says "I'm just taking this kid to the 'Lost and Found center.'" Naturally mind mind is so confused and I try to grab my son back (who was all to happy to be carried off by a stranger smh) But he blocks me and starts to tell me "it's fine mam-" and I yell at him "Put my child down you psycho!" He stops walking then and looks at me with serious distrust and that's when it hits me that he took my son from my side because he saw a "white kid" standing in a "crowd" of brown people and thought he was lost. So of course the psycho staff guy asks "This is your kid?" with so much doubt It was really hard not to get angry and start screaming. Then my husband catches up (he is a bit paler than I) with our other "white" kids and demands to know what the hell is going on. The staff guy finally puts down my son and "apologizes" by saying "He was wondering off and I didn't see him with a family". I may have lost my @#$@# after that because I know for a fact my son was next to me and said something like "if I EVER see YOU touch another kid I will MACE you." He actually tried to have us kicked out of the park after that and told his boss that we threatened him. When I explained what happened they apologized and refunded our tickets and sent psycho staff guy home.
0:10 where did they meet? In a models convention? Damn.
Well apparently Claire IS a model she was on America’s next top model. So it’s possible they chose models in interracial relationships.
:43 You can tell this guy is in love.
The way Aj looks at his wife is adorable
everyone in the video is so beautiful
Sometimes I find it cool to see videos like this since because my family has always been mixed, including myself I'm White/Latina Mix - but I didnz realised in till I got into my middle school years that being mixed was apparently rare/not common and not accepted. My family isn't racist and has always been open to biracial relationships, on my mom's side I have cousins who are black/white mixed, white/asian mix and on my dads side I have a lot of Black/Latino mixed cousins. I was raised growing up that you love who you love it doesn't matter who they are, what they look like or where they come from. And it's such a sad reality knowing that's not the case for many people. But I firmly believe it's couples/family's like these that will break down that barrier and help biracial relationships and families becomes more accepted and not be such an abstract concept.
Elo latino is not a race, god damn it.
elo That’s beautiful!
I don’t know if you don’t know already but a Latina you’re probably already mixed Native American and white. Latina isn’t a race 🙄
Same with my situation. I notice whatever race u date those races group will stare… When I was with white first I got stares from whites and blacks mostly. Now my husband is Mexican, but light skin and I’m brown but now I get more stares from Mexicans now than anything. One group of Mexican mens tap his friends on construction and pointed to us and I laughed and did the same and said look papi… My husband don’t care he cold hard, as me I either stare back long and hard or pretend to ignore them because people care so much about people they don’t know about lol….It even more funny when u can see who racist when I’m with my husband you see the mean stares or disappointment in women eyes and men sometimes. As I don’t care because I will always get hated on so why not enjoy my life while I still can and stop worrying about other people. It’s crazy even in Mexico. I remember it was just me in my bf at the time and we get stares, but not as much now the other time when we are with my husband whole family that’s when I got stares from cashiers darker Mexicans and just looked at me and I’m like this is just ridiculous lol 😂 i tell Americans. Mexico is just as racist as u don’t see it because they see u with dollars so of course they smile in your face. Now how I see it it’s different because I have a Mexican husband now. Don’t get me started about the gated community he live in and we walk around like they shock they never seen a brown foreigner in side. Which is true..
This video said “NO UGLINESS ALLOWED”
All those women look so strong. Not only physically but mentally too ♡
Kimberly is so gorgeous!!
Remember the guy who went viral because his daughter entered the room while he was interviewed in live tv? Most people taught the one who came to get his daughter was the nanny however in reality it was his wife and the mother of the child.
My teacher mentioned it in class and she literally said "nanny" somone corrected her yet she repeatedly told us "no she was a nanny".
I understand that it's not like they know them but it's important to search a lil bit
This seems like a fancy Dove commercial or very expensive perfume. They're too fancy for my swear pants, oversized shirt attire.
Shelby and Andrea. All I can say is wow! What a beautiful couple! 😍 it’s no wonder their child looks like an angel
both my parents are middle eastern however my dad's skin is really dark and my mom's skin is really pale(she's half chinese)and I'm so happy to have come out mixed and have a little resemblance to both my parents.
Persians are white dude!
It is funny about middle eastern people. My husband's parents are very light skinned. People think my MIL is my mom (I am Irish American). My husband is very dark skinned. He looks typical Yemeni. 2 of his sisters and 1 of his brothers are very light skinned and 3 are darker like my husband.
My BIL's kids almost look African american but their mom is very light skinned like our MIL.
My kids are Irabs... Irish Arabs. 4/5 look like tanned Europeans with my youngest daughter with curly brown hair and my little sweetie middle child looks so Yemeni but has light golden brown eyes.
Genetics are sooo interesting.
@Esther Tang asian dna is interesting. Sometimes the kids get more from the mother, sometimes from the father.
@@sesesuzer so ur not turkish but from turkey
@jass No. Allah guided me before I met my husband.
I've been Muslim longer than not.
Okay, the last couple- the youngest actually looks like the dad in the face and the oldest looks more like the mom. Very nice blended kids. I am an Asian married to a white man and we have 2 beautiful blended kids of our own. Race is not an issue in our marriage. I sometimes forget we are from different races (ha ha!) until I see films like this.
That video just shows you that love is love, and that you cannot who you love
Brazilian couple!!!! Absolutely beautiful
In my country most people are mixed race. In my family I have pale skinned with freckles, dark skinned, black cousins, etc. I myself am morena. I grew up around kids of all shades, so I was never conscious of there being racial issues until I learned english and became aware of how much Americans put emphasis to race as a way to categorize. In my country we categorize by _skin color_ , since we're all so mixed, there's a degree, not cut and dry at all.
You're from Brazil?
@@michaelregis1015 close enough. Venezuela.
Maruzca I'm from a country next to yours called Trinidad. A lot of Venezuelans come here as immigrants.
Maruzca they are very hardworking people.
Yes, I think this holds true for most of Latin America. US obsession with race is kinda weird. I never know which box I should be ticking with their ethnicity formularies everywhere.
Nikki and Jamie?
haha lol i love em
Gigi Mosa Jamie is not fully white? huh?
Jamie is 100% European. Both Jamie and Nikki took a DNA test and posted the results on their channel. (I believe Jamie was mostly English).
Candace O his mother is Scottish...
he was mostly from the British Isles, they can't genetically tell the difference between Irish, English, Scottish and Welsh people
was the women named Claire on Americas Next Top Model U.S she looks very familiar???
Yes, she is Claire from season 10 of ANTM.
YESSS!!
The one who drinks her own breastmilk so she can still gave her daughter breastmilk after she's done with ANTM... :)
Enrico Carlos What? Does that work? It sounds weird
Stella Bella i know this is an old comment but i thought i’d share. it is possible bc breast milk works through supply and demand essentially. you can breast feed for 2 years+ as long as it keeps getting used, if it stays in the breasts for a prolonged time then the mother may have a low milk supply so that’s why she drank it, to keep the supply sufficient for her infant when she returned.
@@zara-uu1ux why not just pump it like normal people.
I'm korean and my husband is German. He is actual the first generation born in America. His family had to escape during world war 2 from Germany. But the comments we have heard since we been married are crazy. Like is the filter not working in your mouth today?
There is a common stereotype in the US where asian girls prefer white men over asians. Americans as you know are quite rude.
Cliffracer unfortunately that is true and I should know I am an American
Aliyah Johnson not ture🌝
Jennie .S. Some Americans are still racist today
The way Tali & AJ looks at each other. He seems so smitten with her.
“What a gorgeous child!”
“How old is your baby?”
“What’s his/her name? That’s a lovely name!”
Those are the only things I need to say to you about your kid if I see you out and about. Period.
These people are gorgeous! And that’s just not in the physical sense - but they way they carry themselves, talk about each other, their presence in this video. It just seems so lovely, like a breath of fresh air :)
I have been asked if I am the nanny....
Pretty sure Emanuela is a model? I swear she's in catalogues and Next lol.
kaleidoscope_Love Yes! Her name is Emanuela de Paula. She’s from Brazil and used to work for Victoria’s Secret. She actually has a daughter now
Shelby is so beautiful! All the families were gorgeous!!!
I am beyond obsessed with Claire's DRESS! she looks stunning!!
The way Tali and AJ look at each other
What an answer "since conception" 😄
we ARE from the same "HUMAN RACE" just different ethnicity
different culture or different ethnicity? cause ethnicity has a genetical meaning.
@View Tiful but the way ethnicity looks at genetics is thebsame as it is with race. if race is disproven so would be ethnicity and the only remaining thing would be culture.
@@ridanzswerd215 khe
Thank you. We are one race. We are all Humans
What is this? Just a video of the most beautiful couples ever. Each of them are STUNNING. They all look like models.
FINALLY! A video that I've been wanting to see made!
just realized Claire is from America's Next top Model
Micheal Johnson ok 😐😞 I didn't really ask. No shade
Micheal Johnson their kids look competlely white because east asians and white europeans share the closest dna.
@@leilo330 they kinda do share an amount of dna, not sure how much though.
I love this series!
Vivian Nguyen Ditto!!
It’s beautiful to see different colors together.
0:39 looks like he's not even listening just completely whipped 😫😫 need me a relationship like that
0:43 can we just admire the luscious thickness and healthy shine of her rapunzel hair???? Zero split ends. Do thick at the bottom too (worn out unhealthy hair looks frail in the ends and less dense)
im in awe😍😍😍😍she's so luckyy
Mixed people tend to be able to spot other mixed kids (or at least I can) so hopefully these terrible questions won't pop up so often in the future. My fav growing up was "What ARE you?"
All of them are so beautiful families....best to you!
0:41 the way he was looking at her 💕
Not just with interracial couples. Couples of the same ethnicity and different skin complexion experience this as well. I'm tired of people asking me how come I don't look like my mom. duh duh!
People are so blinded by color
you tell em Kimberly!
do you know whats their last name. I wonder how their babies look like? for someone to ask her that.
Aube Jolicoeur their last name is shariff
Aube Jolicoeur no problem! i was curious to see what their kids look lile too
I always found mixed features really enchanting
Beautiful couples, beautiful kids.
Love is just beautiful, I guess.
0:35 Claire looks like the one Victoria secret model
i LOVE GENEOLOGY. the phenotypes are endless. our DNA is magnificent. i LOVE seeing the varieties.
Why are these all the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen
Me an my husband we don’t have kids (somehow people seems less aggressive towards multicultural couple with kids than who without kids), we can’t really go out holding hands without people staring at us like we are causing problem to their society. I hope this will change one day.
Same with my situation. I notice whatever race u date those races group will stare… When I was with white first I got stares from whites and blacks mostly. Now my husband is Mexican, but light skin and I’m brown but now I get more stares from Mexicans now than anything.

It's interracial, not multicultural. almost all families are multicultural, since everyone's originally an immigrant. you can't tell my family, with my British/Welsh mum and Italian dad who both live in Australia, that we're not 'multicultural' or that our whole lives we haven't been experiencing internal culture clashes.
Race is not culture.
These people are all so beautiful and elegant, like models 😍✨
when someone tells me that girl ( my daughter) looks foreigner in my personal experience having a multicultural family has brought so much positivity and understanding. :) we chose the good parts of each culture
Claire looks exactly like Karlie Kloss
The more mixed, the more beautiful.
The last couple-they look like such a happy family :)
These couples on TH-cam always look so in love I’m confused but good for you guys
I'm an Indian Portuguese girl, 1.58 tall , black hair, brown eyes, dark skin. My BF is Swedish, white af, blond with blue eyes, and 30 cm taller than me. It's so funny to see people stare at us, especially because they get really confused when they can't pinpoint where we are from (we are both quite accent neutral, and communicate in English). I think I must have been mistaken for a fling or an escort realatively often tbh, but we just laugh it off xD
Yet your name sounds german
Matthew is HOT😍
Love without boundaries.
omg Claire was in ANTM !! i knew i had already seen her face somewhere
❤❤❤❤❤
0:28 He's handsome.
I'm polish and Filipino 🇲🇨🇵🇭
Omg at 1:06 the older girl looks exactly like her dad and the youngest looks exactly like her mum! Cute
Did they get models?
Mixed race kids are the prettiest
It might be true. The biggest percentage of miss worlds and universe are Latinoamericans. The majority of Asians that have won miss world tend to be mixed too.
Thank you ♥
lol is that not even a little mean to "pure" kids?
they’re all so beautiful
Our family reunions look like the UN. You will see every shade of skin and every texture of hair. And the cookouts are legendary.
Same situation. My girlfriend was Dutch and I am an Asian man. We used to hear "You should stick to your own kind". "She's your girlfriend?! now way!". "Is he rich or something?". Or "This is a joke right?". Only happens in Canada. Happy Canada Day - The most racist place in the world.
mehh um no USA
Hahaha yeah right. Asians are the most racist in the world, and this is coming from an Asian.
lmao Canada is far from the most racist place in the world.
Avatar Korra i would say America and then Canada.
Unfortunately not exclusively in Canada. "Ignorancy" are incubated in every corner of this earth. These people are just afraid of their "unknowns", or they may even be just jealous, you have what they don't.
Jesus loves them. He finished his suffer on the cross for them.
I understand this 100%. My kids looked more like my husband's race-Korean, than they did mine-Mexican. So I got the back and forth looks all the time. People thought I was the nanny/babysitter. I would say especially when we were workout my husband, but even then. I do think it's important to not let it get to you. I think people are nosy/curious more than anything.
They focus more on color and looks than race sadly. Sadly we are all in boxes..
Glad we are one of them!
If I ever get married and have kids it would be someone that is not my race because I would want to let my kids know that love doesn't discriminate.I would also do that because I want them to have more than one language and more than one culture. Diversity at it's finest.
