It didn’t escape my attention that his name is Cox, quite an ordinary English surname.
You can see all that? Babies look like old men to me.
What about when she’s older and wants to run for PM? Look at all the flack about his name that Barack Hussein Obama has had to put up with?
This happened a few years ago, although in that case it was a set of twins, with one born white and the other black - although in that case both parents were mixed race. So it is possible that the baby is genetically the child of both parents - but I guess we’ll see.

I’ve read this post at least 15 times and I just can’t grasp it. So you think one of them is shocked, yet not surprised. That makes no sense. Shocked is surprised x10. How can you be shocked and yet not surprised?

I gather you were never teased about your name as a kid? I was. As a means of self defense you learn to recognize every possible bad name that can be made from other names when you have it done to you. Kids can be mean.

What gets me is the baby’s hair. If you ever known a black women, you’ll understand about hair
