      <![CDATA[<p>There is nothing better than a reminder of how blessed I am. <a href="http://www.angulochen.com">My good friends</a> whose pregnancy was so reassuring and inspiring to me <a href="http://www.dashes.com/anil/index.php?blogarch/2001_09_01_archive.php#5715303">a few months ago</a> just announced that little Elias has entered the world. He is, fortunately, a very cute baby. I was worried that, despite his attractive parentage and mixed race he'd be a not-cute baby, and then I'd be forced to coo over anything less than one of the most beautiful babies ever. My fears have been assauged.</p><p>I'm so happy for these two, although my eyebrow remains officially raised, as the wedding was a scant <a href="http://www.dashes.com/anil/index.php?blogarch/2001_06_01_archive.php#3905901">eight months</a> ago. <em>Suuuure</em> he was premature. Right.</p><p>Also, for the record, it is the attractiveness of biracial children <!-- tigerbunny shout out: i miss you, beautiful -->that, to me, serves as the strongest argument against racists. I mean, yeah racism is morally wrong and all that. And I know there are still many parts of this planet that "don't cotton to the race-mixin'..." if you know what I mean. But that just means those people will be denied the privilege of spending time around the most beautiful people in the world. A beauty inside and out, as their naturally attractive exteriors are usually matched by a breadth of experience that makes for a formidably alluring personality. So closed-mindedness is its own punishment.</p><p>What I'm saying is, go taint somebody's bloodline.</p>]]>
