Interesting!

I reckon you live in Chinatown. Bah?...... Or in proximity to "a" Chinatown perhaps?

Oh well, such is life. Maybe you should move. Northern Idaho would seem like a good fit for you.

What made this a big frenzy was a Black man cheating on his White wife". That is what my father saw in the situation.

Reminds me of the time when Sandra Bullock's "black" husband's infidelity was all over the news.

I didn't mean that he had martial problems because he was biracial, I ment that as a product of a intrracial marriage he's life turned out damn good(I would have traded places with him in a minute) in spite of his Marital affairs.

Who gives a damn what the media or anybody else thinks. If you want to be with somebody of a diffrent race or ethnicity then do it, if you don't then thats fine too, but don't live your life for the media or your family or anybody else.

Not foolish at all. I'm gay. Anything that involves Islam is probably not good for my health. I'm sure any children I might bare in the (distant) future would very much understand the situation and not put me in that predicament - The predicament being them dating/marrying one.

In the gay dating scene, the phenomenon is much more pronounced, widespread, and unapologetic.

Don't Ask, Just Tell: Sexual racism is at the core of what many gay men believe to be ''preferences'': Opinion section: Metro Weekly magazine, Washington, DC newspaper
There is no such thing as sexual racism. If people don't find a race attractive, then there is simply nothing that can be done about it. Calling gay men sexually racist is no different than calling them sexually sexist because they don't want to sleep with women

And just to make this part of the conversation a little more interesting, every single non-white gay friend of mine exclusively dates/hooks up with white men. I have asked several of them why, and they give various reasons, but I will never really understand it. I feel bad for them, because we are all in our early 20s and live in an urban area of a big city and white people aren't even the largest demographic that they interact with. The younger the population is, and the more urban the population is, the less likely the population will be white. Countless of my nonwhite friends are never going to find partners unless they open themselves up to people like them simply because there aren't enough of us white guys to go around anymore. Their situation is exacerbated because most white men also want to date other white men.

Yeah, not sure why white guys, particularly recessive featured white guys, are glorified within the gay community to such an excessive degree. I benefit from it, as I am a recessive featured white guy, but I do feel really bad for my friends at times over this issue.

Ha that's what capitalism will do, it's not about tolerance its about survival. You her mom cares? As long as the brother has a good job and doesn't have a record I don't think she will really give a damn about his race.
