dont generalize..that would be just as wrong as claiming all blacks dont work (which would be ridiculous, of course)..there are racists everywhere, and good people everywhere

how hypocritical is that?
That typically goes for men in general. It stems from the primitive notion that every woman of their race somehow "belongs" to them. Same goes for how some women view the men who share their race.

I wonder how the other states would fare. I'd bet it isn't exclusive to MS. Am I surprised about this... not too. sad that the young are so tainted, curious the middle age folks are more liberal.

Seriously? I'd like to know where you heard of this, because it sounds dubious to put it nicely. Sure you might find that in countries that are already backwards, but that kind of thing comes with the territory in those places.

But in the civilized world you're gonna have to work hard to prove to me that that's a real trend.

I'm mixed and so are my children so I personally don't have an issue with interracial relationships, but I understand that some people think that it's best to stay within your race. Saying it's backwards thinking is just stupid. It's just a different opinion.

A White person put it to me this way before, "What if someone told you that in the future that there would be no more Asian people because they would all be mixed with another race? Would you think that was a good thing?" I thought about it and I understood what they were saying. So while I'm mixed, I understand if other people don't want to be, though I don't think should be a law against it.

Who cares? If something like that were to even happen (which is unlikely given that Asians currently comprise about a fourth of the world's population), no one alive today would even be around to witness it. That white person was just projecting their own fears onto you in the form of an exaggerated hypothetical.

Sheer probability and logistics dictate that this is an enormously improbably occurrence. It also runs up against a basic understanding of human reproduction. It's not like addition where you add two together and get an average with both components being lost...

I'm a "white" person of anglo saxon heritage and I don't get what that "white" person was attempting to clarify.

I mean; what the hell difference could it possibly make to the worlds population if at one point in the future, through inter-marriage, we all become one colour?

Of what import or detriment would this possibly be?

Would we all suffer from having no obvious racial heritage to readily display? Would wearing those clickable coloured ear tags that cattle have, to register their breeding, be sufficient to satisfy those concerns for the retards who still give a rat's patoot?

So the entire worlds population 'evolves' to a shade of gray or 'ecru'; WHO CARES?

Perhaps if that day were already here we'd have FAR LESS problems with all of this angst over race.

Well, obviously some people care or else this thread wouldn't even exist. Look at America. While there are more mixed people, most people don't marry outside their race. Even big proponents of race mixing don't mix. So while some people go on publicly about how they are so in favor of mixing, they don't seem to really believe that or else they'd put their money where their mouth is.

Honestly, I get sick of self righteous leftists that condemn others as being backwards for not believing in race mixing, while they live in predominately White neighborhoods and have monoracial families.
