Joekerr... it is normal to see mixed race children. They are everywhere! They are right here on your forum! They might not be the majority, but they are normal. They aren't abnormal!joekerr31 said:see, this is the problem with americans, if anything relates to race they call it racist.
pro same-race marriage people are merely saying that it is better for the child. not that a white child is better than a black child, or that whites are better than blacks.
just like some people feel its better for a child to be raised by two heterosexual people instead of two gay people. it doesn't mean they hate gays or think gays are inferior. it just means they don't feel two gay people, in general, can raise a child as well as a heterosexual mother and father.
now if the child was gay, then people might say it would be better raised BY two gay parents.
you see, its not even that the gay people can't DO the job just as well. they may conceed that they can. but they may feel simply as a result of psycho-social conditioning that a child is better served with heterosexual parents.
once again, you can call them ignorant, you can call the naive, but you wouldn't be able to call them prejudice against gays. they don't hate gays. they don't feel gays are inferior. etc. they simply feel that a child is best served by have heterosexual parents. simple as that.
the ONLY thing im saying is that you can be pro same-race marriage without being a racist.
moreover, THIS IS THE NORM!!!! i dont know the official stats, but id say proably about 70% of marriages are same-race marriages. its NOT that peopel are racist, its that they have a natural inclination to mate with members of their own race.
as time as the races mingle and mixed raced children become the norm, it will be a moot point. but until then its the norm - but it does not mean that peopel are racist.
And it is nowhere near the same thing as adoption. You are implying that the children aren't raised by their natural biological parents! Who probably aren't all the same race themselves! Pure races are what is not ordinary.
Besides, having gay parents is the controversial thing these days. Not interacial parents. That was controversial decades ago.
And this whole thing about children has nothing to do with marriages or relationships between two people. That is why I asked you in a previous post, what would you do if you met a hot black chic, or latina, and she was the one who you just clicked with?
Would you not consider her? Because yes it is your preference of course, but it is still racist, because you have made that call based solely on her race as your reason.
It is what it is. Racism does relate to race! When a person is judged by their race or discriminated (that is what you are doing when you say you won't date the chick), base on their race, it is racism.
You don't have to hate blacks or hang nooses in trees to be racist.
Being absolute in how you would treat a person, based soley on their race, is good enough.
Mac said it best. Almost everyone is racist, it is hard to overcome that way of thinking.
If you really want to see some racism that is not even hidden, ask an African what they think of Black Americans! Lol. The older generation won't bat an eyelash to tell you what they think. Most arabs hate white people! So do a lot of hispanics. We are gringos!
