I have heard anecdotes supporting that contention. Both groups have historically been portrayed as particularly low status people in the media. Some PR and public image work could probably change that.

Think of it like a game of musical chairs. When the music stops, some people are left standing. White men grab the Asian chicks, black men grab the white chicks, and so on, until we see not enough men are grabbing the black women and not enough women desire the Asian men. This is why we see so many Asian men upset about the mixed couples and same too with black women who see black men dating outside their race.

The obvious solution is for Asian men to start dating Black women, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
 
The Bible is full of all sorts of contradictory and confusing things that many Christians do not embrace as their theology. Quite often they describe it as history rather than the actual teaching of god.

In other words, "we believe the Bible is the word of God but there are some things in there too stupid for even us to take seriously so we'll pick and choose what we want to believe."

Theology is idiotic.

You're welcome to make fun of theology all you like, but it doesn't change the fact that your assertion that "a lot of fundamentalist Christians" are uncomfortable with interracial couples is baseless.
 
Here is the issue, this is dp. I am asking and others are expecting people to come outright and defend that they are uncomfortable with interracial relations. That is asking a lot.

In real life, I have seen it in a lot of people I respect. The guy playing Santa Claus at my mom's work told her he felt disgusted when another employee put her mixed grandchildren on his lap. He was grossed out by them and called them oreos.

My family knows that guy.

My own mom has made comments on genetic diseases only certain races carry like sickle cell, being passed on to children, grandchildren etc. I think she sees it as an issue in terms of having children. She also works in medicine and research, so its her field. Though she outright said she wants whoever I date to treat me well.

Not sure how she would honestly feel if I told her I was pregnant by a black guy though.

I have seen girls my age in interracial relationships, and their families don't like it. I have heard them called mud sharks and damaged goods. And let's not forget middle eastern ethnic groups in this discussion. They are a controversial group in many ways in USA.

I wonder what your Mom thinks about diseases inherited thru White people's genes, like Huntington's chorea?
 
There have been tons of white supremacists over the years on this forum Jerry. 24107 posted in this very thread and is most definitely opposed to interracial relationships. Thanks the archive function I found some interesting posts in previous discussions.
Unrepresentative samples of the DP community as a whole. Your exceptions prove the rule.
 
Acceptable?

Preferable.

I much prefer 'interracial' couples as that means the world is one step closer to everyone being 'mutts' and this complete and utter nonsense about 'race' can die once and for all.


It is the height of IDIOCY to actually judge someone by the amount of melanin in their skin (or by some other 'racial' stereotype).

If you judge people by this...you ARE the poster boy/girl for staggering ignorance on a Mount Everest-scale.
 
I would guess a couple hundred years and race will pretty much be a thing of the past.

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.

A good example of faith vs. religion and sadly few understand there's a difference. Talking to religious people Jesus said: And so you cancel the word of God in order to hand down your own tradition. Mark 7:13

Specifically on interracial marriage: Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cu****e (African) wife, for he had married a Cu****e....The anger of the Lord burned against them, and he left them. Numbers 12.

Also, too complicated to get into here but the Bible gives really good genealogies in some cases. At least 3 of Jesus' earthly ancestors, possibly more, had interracial marriage making Jesus himself multi-racial.

One of the greatest points of confusion a lot of people have is they think stupid people claiming to act in accordance with God's will are actually doing so. If you want to understand what God is really saying you're going to need to read the Bible yourself.
 
Apparently there are more than a few people who are uncomfortable with inter-racial couples, right here on DP. This thread is based upon that very premise, that some posters are incensed that certain tv commercials are "shoving non-traditional families down our throats"... non-traditional means, inter-racial, SSM, and apparently short men with tall women! :lol:

Holy crap! :lol: This world is nuts. :lol:

It won't matter. People will still find ways to discriminate against one another. Too fat, too thin (wait, no, there's no such thing!), too poor, too short, too Muslim, too Communist.... It won't ever end.
 
95%. .. ...not bad, only one poisoned individual....
I think this is far better than the same poll from 50 years ago.....we are progressing...probably a lot faster than most on this orb..
How does a Muslim view a non-Muslim ??
How well do Japanese accept non-Japanese ?

Oh, I agree it won't end..but it will be one less excuse for people to hate each other.
 
And, again, if you feel like actually proving any of that, be my guest. :roll:

The veracity of scientific research is not determined by whether or not you happen to personally like its conclusions. If you want to dispute the study's findings, you need to provide evidence to support the assertion that its methogology was in some way fundamentally flawed.

The burden of proof here is on you. No one else.

You don't know much about scientific research or statistics because what you have put forward again is rubbish. If you don't understand the nature of scientific research then you should be quiet. It's not about liking the conclusion, it's about how you arrive at the conclusion. Since you don't know how the women were chosen, for all you know they may have gone out and picked the ugliest black women they could find. Even in the more concrete, hard sciences, there has been so much research that has turned out to be fraudulent because people have devised or tampered with the conditions under which they purported to conduct the research. In this case, you appear to simply want to believe that the research is true. Although I have my doubts, I would be willing to accept results where it could be demonstrated that were based on objective criteria. But in the case of attractiveness, that is something that will be very hard, because it tends to vary from person to person. Therefore, I really wonder how you can come up with OBJECTIVE criteria for such a thing. As a good example, I like women that have big butts. But some people don't think that's attractive at all. And even at that, I'm not so sure that those people are really telling the true. So that's the type of thing that you run into.

Last of all, what you have posted demonstrates your great ignorance with regards to scientific research. The burden of proof is not on me, it's on the researcher to demonstrate that they have conducted the research under objective conditions, with reasonable assumptions, and have results that can be replicated.
 
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.

I have mixed feelings about it, for reasons you probably don't understand. So please put me on your ignore list.

According to the poll, only one has a problem.
 
Consenting adults should be able to marry other consenting adults without explanation to anyone.

It also isn't just about race. It's about culture. Mixed children are often excluded from both heritages. They lack an identity. You're spitting in the face of traditionalism in every aspect.
 
Too bad the poll is anonymous.

And of course! Mixed race couples have never been special to me like some people, it's love and commitment all the same, I was raised to think beyond skin color. It's normal for me. Sadly, there are people that don't feel the same way in this country (and it's not just white people), but they are heading to be a rarity.

:rolleyes:

Yes, because if every human became of mixed 'race' then there would be no more cultures.

Again... :rolleyes:

Bye bye now...I don't like to waste time on nonsense like this.

Do you honestly believe that most cultures view children with 50% lineage on the same way as full-blooded members of their heritage? You think a mixed child will be as easily accepted at most dinner tables?

You can't afford to be this naive.
