Whenever I look at my son, I see that he has my nose, eyes and ears but, for some weird reason, when you look at his whole face, he looks like his dad! The thing is, I am of Asian descent and his Dad is European.

The older my son gets, the more it is physically obvious that he is of mixed-race. And with what I, an Asian in Europe, have sometimes experienced, it makes me a little bit anxious. I hope and pray to God that he does not experience superficial classification that some of us are subjected to, at some point in our lives.

In a way, I am thankful that we live here in Frankfurt. It is a culturally diverse city. There is less possibility of discrimination since the constant exposure to different cultures (30% of the residents are foreign) contribute to the increase in tolerance and acceptance. At least, I'd like to think so.
