Look at these pictures of me, and tell me what nationality you would think I was. My friend lived in NYC most of his life. He said he would have guessed I was greek.

What do you think?
You are obviously white.

Your mother looks 'mixed'.

I'm half indian, and so many people mistake me for a full bloodied italian. I have red tinted skin, black flat hair, blue eyes. Italians have olive/tan skin, thick/curly/wavy hair. I guess most people have never seen a full bloodied indian.

Honestly, who cares what color/nationality someone is. Love is love people. It knows no color, it knows no nationality. When it happens it is a beautiful thing.

I can't wait for the future when almost everyone is beautifully 'blended' and living in a peace-loving perfect monoculture. Then we can hunt down and kill the few surviving populations of 'pure' people. Those people are like dirty animals.

But seriously, I have no problem with intermarriage, I am sure it has happened in my ancestry, but this idea of social engineering a super-race of... 'raceless' people, and the idea that having one race, one language, one religion, one culture to create a utopia is frankly creepy. And anti-evolutionary. Evolution tends to create distinctions between populations. Something that makes the world diverse and truly beautiful.

Again, if my children were to marry outside their race, that is one thing, but if they do so because they think there is a moral distinction between interracial marriage (good) and conracial marriage (bad), then that is a problem.

Actually, it is called 'racist exoticism'. It is when people imbue a certain race with an objectified view of their sexual attractiveness.

When a White man fetishizes Asian women he is a 'creep', when a White woman does the same to Black men, she is 'creating a better world through racial harmony'.

It is that double standard that I find disturbing.

It's so pathetic that some people are blinded by society's false standards of what's "attractive" and then turn around and get upset when someone else thinks they're ugly.

People want less government but are perfectly willing to have it enforce who they can marry or enforce their religious morals.

As for Imam and other black women. There are several things about black women that have caused them to appear unattractive for many centuries to whites. It has been mostly their hair, and certain facial features. Of course there is quite a bit of diversity within Africa. And east Africans(such as Somali's) are quite a bit different than west Africans, and southern Africans. The majority of blacks that came to America during slavery were West African.

If it hadn't been for wigs, weaves, straighteners, perms, and dyes, blacks would be at a rather large aesthetic disadvantage. Secondly, in the past almost everyone was thin, and wore far less revealing clothing. In full clothing, the most noticable features of a woman become her face and hair. Having a wide nose, kinky black hair, fat lips, and very dark skin just didn't stand out.

I would agree that many mixed-blood people can be very attractive. But the majority of the ones that you normally think of being attractive, tend to look more European than anything else. IMO Iman looks basically Egyptian but with dark skin. In this picture of her, you could practically give her white skin and she would pass for French.
What does Rtard mean??????...........why did President
George Washington and President Thomas Jefferson have
children with these Black African (Slaves) Women????.....

I think marrying a different to make a political or social statement, or to make yourself feel that you're not racist, is pretty disingenuous in my view. Course if you're gonna marry someone of another culture because you like that culture, or skin color, then that's different.

Those superficial surveys are just that. Superficial. And those people are always part of the glamor magazine crowd, which oddly enough, I think is biased towards mixed race people. Besides, it is very subjective, cause I find British girls to be pretty attractive, not so much brown people. I don't even feel attracted to my own race
