I just thought I would ask. It seems some people here are not comfortable with interracial couples, and I was curious how common the attitude is..
 
Of course they are, in fact I have no interest in meeting or dealing with anyone that its not acceptable to. In fact if there were anyone in my life, or poster on this board who were opposed to them please reveal yourself; because you will pay an immediate social price for that bigoted stigma.
 
Going off from what I have learned playing video games (especially Mass Effect with extraterrestrial couplings), yes they are acceptable.

Man, I sure miss the good old days when everybody knew that the holy sacrament of marriage was defined as one white man and one white woman.

no, we should not progenate outside our species
turtledude frequently comments about such interspecies relationships

with that exception, be with whomever you mutually decide
 
Yes, they are acceptable. People have the right to fancy whoever they want and be with whomever they wish.

Now, I don't find it attractive and I don't ever see myself in a relationship with a woman from another race, I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd give Rosario Dawnson or Kristin Kreuk a tumble because they're hot as hell, but in my picture perfect family, it's never a mixed racial family.

Come on,man.


Everybody know the only reason for marriage is to make white babies,and the only way todo that is between one white man and one white woman!


like God intended.
 
Interracial couples and children are completely acceptable to me, we are all really of only one race, the human race. I do however, lament that one day we will all be an amalgamation of all races and so the distinct differences between the races, that which helps make life interesting, may completely evaporate.

How bland would that be?
 
Honestly, I wouldn't have much of an issue with interspecies relationships if say we found intelligent life on other worlds that was basically similar to us (like Star Trek or Alien Nation). (I do think the other species should show sentience at least similar to us though.) So, given this, of course I have no issue with interracial, interfaith, same sex, or most other types of relationships that people may have issues with. I have issues with relationships that can be harmful to one of those involved or that are influenced wrongly into existing.

what about bearing a child with someone who was mentally deficient
 
Wtf? Who still thinks this way? Point me to their retarded asses this instant so I can point and laugh.

well, I didn't want to start a thread to target one person... but he will probably show up.. :lol:

I see that as a grey area. Were both of them mentally deficient to say the level of a teenager? Or was it only one that is somewhere around the level of a teenager, mentally whereas the other parent is mentally an adult? I see it as if both are about the same age level mentally, then it is little different than simply two teens bearing a child, neither really influenced the other. But if one is mentally an adult and the other mentally deficient to an age deemed lower than that of consent (someone else has basic legal say in their life), then that is definitely an area where there could easily be seen undue influence in the relationship.

The amalgamation is inevitable with a population that is no longer geographically isolated from one another.

Not sure how bland it would be, some of the most beautiful women are often a blend of races. Perhaps it would just make the "exotic" seem mundane but I am good with that.
 
Well, someone has 'mixed' feelings, the irony....

I have actually met a number of people who do feel this way, including young people, since I joined the Navy. While in bootcamp, we were sharing our relationships back home on a Sunday morning (basically during our only free time), and one of the girls who I got along with okay suddenly went cold toward me when I showed everyone a picture of my boyfriend (who was black) from back home. She actually seemed to be friends with the black girls in the division, but she told us she felt that my relationship was wrong. And then there were some guys I knew in the country bar I frequented in Hawaii that were open about their dislike of mixed race coupling. One of the guys said he would take an Asian girl home to sleep with but he'd never be in any real relationship with her (lost all respect for them and kept my distance after that). And both my father and my husband were asked by their fathers whether my mother and I (respectively) were black when each father was told their son was going to get married.

if both members were mentally deficient and had a child, would you not be concerned that they would be able to properly care for it

Myself, I like that there are different strains of rice, wheat, different types of oranges, different breeds of dogs and cattle, etc, etc...

But to each their own. We are in agreement that one day we all will be, if we don't destroy ourselves or something, the inevitable amalgamation.
 
This bland :cool:

If ever every female looked like her, yes...that would become bland. Just as if all paintings only came in the incredible impressionistic style of Monet, that there were not any other styles... art, paintings, would become very bland indeed.

I'm concerned that some people who are considered mentally adults cannot care for a child. I think that they should be looked after and a determination made to see if they could care for a child if something like that were to happen, but I don't think it is impossible for mentally disabled people to grow and learn.
