Caucasian babies are afraid of my face.
36% Normal
10 Comments

I am actually half White and half Asian. I also have a tan, so I look a bit...erm, Hispanic.

I am nice, friendly, gentle, and always smile at them. Non-White babies have no problem with me at all.

But if white baby is near me, it get very scared, whines, and hugs the "lighter" colored person. Then it goes and loves more white people.

This is really sad. These babies are starting to make me feel ugly.

Is it normal for babies to react this way to me?
Do you think it's normal?

Don't be shy. I think it's important a baby is exposed to diversity.

You shouldn't put so much stock in the opinions of babies. Who knows what they're reacting to?

It must hurt your feelings, but its normal for kids. Children naturally like first- the color of their and their parents skin and second- good looking people.

I've got the exact same thing- except I'm Caucasian. I keep getting told I'm handsome/looking good/get hit on but evidently caucasian babies think differently than most women and some men.

HAHAHAHAH
sorry not to laugh at you, but with you..
I dunno, you might be imagining things, these days people are pretty accepting. I grew up not even registering a difference between people because of race..
One time when I was like four I pointed out a "fat man" to my mom, quite loudly and right in front of him. My mom was mortified and apologized.. I guess it depends on how your children are brought up, but they don't really know about social rules.

You are over-generalizing. When babies do that its sometimes called "making strange." It is not about you at all.

that's totally normal for a baby, especially if a person is really dark skinned, the baby might be afraid of him. he's not used to seeing someone so different and it shocks his system.
but he might get over it with time, like if he saw that person more often or something, i think.....
