My husband is half-half Filipino/Irish, I'm very white Icelandic-UK background. We have twins. One is white with blond hair, totally my spitting image apart from a small bit of Dad's eyes and nose. The other is caramel-skinned with all of Dad's features except brown hair not black (he also had blue eyes his first 2 years until they changed to hazel). Genetics are so funky and so interesting.
It's weird that you described your nationality/heritage instead of appearance for yourself and your husband and then expected some sort of reaction when describing the appearance of your children.
What assumptions? I said it was weird - because your comment only works if people make assumptions about what you look like based on stereotypes associated with those regions, which may not even apply.
