Forget accepted norms. Groups have no right to decide what only individuals have to live with on their own dime with their own lives. A Puerto Rican Eskimo wants to marry a Russian Tennessee hillbilly, it's not anyone's business but their own.

Someone can have a politically incorrect thought or viewpoint without it being racist, but the viewpoint that it should be illegal for an interracial couple to get married is racist no matter how you slice it.

If race was an illusion, then all humans groups would be equal to each other. Is that what you believe?

Why then are 2/3rds of all professional football players black, why are 80% of professional basketball players black? Especially since they are only 13% of the population. Why are there almost no Asians that play basketball or football? Why do blacks possess almost all of the top 500, 100 meter times? Why are Asians so short?

If one was to believe that short little Asians, with their men being poorly endowed, were equal to other racial groups in all non-physical aspects(intelligence/behavior), then Asians would easily be very inferior as a group compared to Whites or Africans. What would they have to compensate for what they lack physically?

Science has already unearthed clues to how behavior is affected by your genes, which shouldn't be much of a surprise because you are the result of your genes.

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder which is hereditary, Africans are about three times more likely to be schizophrenic than are Caucasians.

Schizophrenia Daily News Blog: African Americans Have 200% Higher Risk of Schizophrenia than Caucasian Americans

There are thousands of other behaviors and mental conditions that science is slowly doing research on(though they don't typically like to discuss them in regards to race). Here is a basic examination of the science of behavior.

Behavioral Genetics


Did you know that people of mixed-race are about 40% more likely to have ADD/ADHD than are whites?

ADD/ADHD, NSCH 2007 Chartbook (http://mchb.hrsa.gov/nsch07/national/1child/1healthstatus/pages/05adhd.html - broken link)

They are also far more likely to have autism relative to their population. With the statistics in this article stating that mixed-race individuals are about four times more likely to be autistic relative to their population size, and about 6 times more likely to be autistic than their same-race counterparts.

Autism Information -Autism rates internationally

http://www.dds.ca.gov/Autism/docs/AutismReport2003.pdf


If you took the time to actually research the relevence of race, you might understand the situation a little better. I know the liberal elites want to just disregard race because it is inconvenient to their egalitarian agendas. But it is much more than just some "social construct" like they want to pretend it is. If you have the time, I could give you some articles to read more on the subject.

I will definitely agree that she has a strange look to her, her eyes look a little sunken in and without makeup they look like they have huge dark circles around them. Then her cheeks also look weird. She has a sister named Patricia, and she looks pretty much Caucasian to me. Ana Barros really could be part black, or she might just be sort of a genetic oddity.



I'll definitely say that Ana is attractive, but she isn't anything special.

Top 10 Richest Female Supermodels of the World | Modny73

Of the top 10 supermodels in the world....

1. Gisele Bundchen, 100% German.
2. Heidi Klum, 100% German.
3. Kate Moss, 100% English.
4. Adriana Lima, parts Swiss, Amer-Indian, and Afro-Caribean(not sure what percentages).
5. Doutzen Kroes, 100% Dutch.
6. Alessandra Ambrosio, 50% Polish, 50% Italian.
7. Natalia Vodianova, 100% Russian.
8. Daria Werbowy, Polish/Ukrainian.
9. Miranda Kerr, Anglo-Saxon/Scottish.
10. Carolyn Murphy, doesn't say, but she is obviously white.

I'm not saying people of mixed-race can't be attractive, but being mixed-race doesn't suddenly make you more attractive. Though I will admit, in our diversity adoring world, mixed-race has become a sort of novelty.

PC is just another aspect of censorship. Subtle, but censorship.

Many feel as I do, but they don't want to stand up to the histrionics
that come with the criticism. I am being compared to murderers for
saying my opinion? If a black person says they feel pride for being
black, they are applauded for being full of pride. I say I am proud
for being white, and I am called a racist. Very interesting.

none of this means anything..so certain people have certain propensities..in 500 Years none of this will matter as we'll all be of the same complexion anyway

I love your quick retorts to my scientific evidence on the validity of race, and the potential issues of racial-mixing, by simply disregarding it and saying "once we all mix, all of this won't matter anyway". I can certainly tell that you believe more in the egalitarian ideal than in science.

You seem to be fine with the idea that all of humanity will probably be much worse off once we are all mixed, but thats fine as long as we are all equally bad? I don't understand you people, one second you are praising diversity, the next second you can't wait till diversity is gone and all of humanity is brown.
