My name is Shanece and growing up when my sister would tell people she had a sister named Shanece they would always be like 'oh that's cool that you have a black sister!' Umm. I'm as white as they come! Lol I'm so pale and i have endless amounts of freckles and blue eyes!
People judge my fiancé and i for naming our son Olyver cuz its an ugly and snobbish name. Scr*w you! Olyver is a very handsome and old fashioned name! Neither of us have ever known an Olyver and we don't give two craps what anyone thinks!
And i wanted to name my daughter jayden :) beautiful name.

I feel your pain! My daughter (white) will be named Tesla Nova. My mom insisted it was a "Mexican" name... first of all, it would be Spanish. Second, its an American scientist's last name... how rude is that, though? I mean really? My name is Brandi. Only Brandi I've ever met was black, so my mom is just ignorant and oblivious to her own prejudice contradictions...

I totally feel you! My stepdad is black, and my little brother is mixed and some old snobby woman had the nerve to ask me the other day "is your baby going to be of some other race too?" I was like "actually, yes. his daddy is spanish, thank you very much". People are so offensive!
