Shiny Happy Family

So I was flipping through an old copy of Weekend magazine, one of the new contestants in the dethrone-Real-Simple sweepstakes. One feature was about a family and their vacation home, complete with photos of their fabulously furnished rooms, nary a dust bunny in sight, and shots of their cute daughter, who was, wait a sec, is she Chinese? At which point I flipped back for another look at the parents, and yep, they're white. A biracial family in a story that's not about international adoption, not about raising a kid who's a different color than you, that doesn't even bother to note that they're white and their kid isn't? I was stunned--and hopeful. Maybe the day is finally coming when the media starts treating multiracial families like normal everyday people and not some freakish subset that only warrants coverage because of their multiracialism. Is that word?
