I see some very low class responses to this particular comment above.
I wonder, why?

Why someone MUST like the inter-racial relationships to make the rest happy?

If PullMyFinger doesn't like it, then he/she doesn't like it. What's the problem here?

Those who are critical of this, may also have things in life that they don't like (for example the dollar amount on their welfare check). What should I tell them? "The country is moving on without you"?

I would rather have a world of multiple races and cultures than just one mutt race and one mutt culture.

Turning people and cultures into clones of each other is not "diversity", it's the opposite of diversity.

I can't think of anything more boring and dehumanizing. So of course, the liberals support it.
Excellent post!

It has more to do with the prevalence of radical feminism in the US and especially among whites. I can understand why men would want nothing to do with white women in Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Portland, Seattle, and certain smaller west coast cities like Santa Cruz and Olympia. It's the PC/SJW thing. Some white men don't want American (or Canadian, British, etc. ) white women for this reason.

However I do not think race or nationality should be important at all and have no objections to any interracial or international marriage. Speaking for myself personally it would be very hard to be in a relationship with someone who is an observant Muslim (although I have no objections to someone who is from a Muslim background but non-practicing or only barely practicing) but that's not racial.

It's interesting that the interracial thing isn't being pushed on Japan, China, the Middle East, Africa, etc.

Nope, it's just white people who are supposed to disappear, and then everyone will be happy.

Nothing racist about that, of course....
This !!!

I have heard this from members of all races.

If someone has had bad experiences they talk about it. Maybe dating outside one's own cultural/ethnic context gives them another chance at love, I don't know, but it's not just white people dissing white people, it is all over the spectrum.

Well, in my case, except for the mother, it was the younger ones. Some even in their teens.

I understand what you are saying, but I still don't believe all white women are exactly the same.

My sister-in-law is a bleeding heart liberal and ALL my family members are conservatives. She loves us all and has given us the benefit of the doubt. So she is okay in my book. Yes, she has said something I disagree with in the past, but overall, she is a great lady who loves my brother and that is all that matters. The only problem i had with her in the past is that she had two children from previous marriage. At the time, I thought my brother could have done much better because my brother has always dated women who were highly attractive and desirable. My brother has a very successful career and she wants to be a stay at home mom. Now, I believe my brother is very lucky to have her because she is a good woman.

Pretty much all my female friends are white conservatives. Even though they live in California, they are not feminists. They have no problems attracting white men or any men. So not everybody is the same. I think people should be treated as unique individuals.

Like I said earlier, the most desirable men or women are desired by every race. My cousin is a white man. He is not a bad looking man but he is cheap and is socially awkward. He couldn't find an American girl here, so he went abroad.

I had a friend who married a 25-year old when she was 15, with her parents’ permission. It was common in her culture then. But nowadays I wouldn’t want my daughter to do the same thing. Times change, and people’s attitudes change. But I don’t think it’s going to go backwards.
IDK, overall, thru out history, acceptance of various sexual preferences increase, just like the thread, interracial relationships used to be taboo and frowned upon, even illegal, homosexuals went thru the same thing, polygamy to a certain extent as well.

So really, what you are describing, is actually going backwards, a growing resentment for a particular preference. I just dont see that happening in a society that is becoming more tolerant and open to all kinds of things.

It may seem like more people frown upon it, but large scale, its not as shocking as it used to be, I remember the first time I heard on the news of a 30 yr old teacher being caught in a sexual relationship with a 15 yr old student, I was shocked, I couldnt believe it....fast forward, I hear this kind of thing all the time now, its not shocking anymore, that means I have been desensitized to it, it doesnt effect me like it once did, generally tolerance, acceptance and then celebration follow.

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if it did happen. That MTV chick from DeCoder, who is as racist towards whites as you can get, and then black rights activist, Serena Williams, both have white husbands. Not sure if it's because they truly love their men, or did they marry out of some PC to claim that they are not racists because they married outside of their race.
