Taking to Instagram recently, Precious reveals that even though race is not a big issue in her family‚ they are not immune to discriminative comments made about them.

With race it's so easy for each one of us to generalize and place people within a box of our own understanding. Life is far more complex than the complexion of your skin.”

“We're definitely not immune to race issues and do experience our share of prejudicial comments more often than I care to count‚” Precious wrote.

“I'm not going to pretend like colour isn't a thing‚ as even the most well-meaning human loving individuals in our lives aren't able to truly see passed the colour of my skin.”

On her Instagram account Precious revealed that she has received a lot of messages from people who share how they would love to have mixed-race children and a white husband‚ like her.
