It'e exception mentality when you assume that everyone who is black is vulgar and ill-mannered with the exception of a few cases like Obama and anyone you may be dating. Seeking someone well-tempered and well-mannered isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about people who believe all black people are vulgar and loud and obnoxious with only a few exceptions. So I am saying that the fact that someone may be dating a black person or may have voted for Obama doesn't prove that they aren't racist cause they may just be viewing Obama and their SO as "exceptions" to the "rule."

Nita
So "hating" illegals (and minorities in general...i might add) is Conservative?

I already knew that, but thanks for your confirmation.

What have I said or posted that gives you the impression that I am racist?

I wasn't talking about all racists when I was explaining "exception mentality." I was talking about some people who are racist, or a specific brand of racism. There are definitely plenty of racists who wouldn't date the woman in the picture above but there are some that would date her as long as she didn't act in a way that they associated with black people (or whatever race they hate) in their mind. I've heard racist comments coming from a white man married to a black woman as dark as the one you posted a picture of. Obviously it's possible to be racist and marry someone outside your race. There's also the other possibility another poster mentioned where you're only racist against a certain race (e.g. black) but marry someone of another race (e.g. Asian).

Don't be disturbed. It shows they are not racists at all but only making generalizations based on learned behavior. If Asians or Orientals were showing up on the news as committing large numbers of crimes, having a culture that didn't value education, and were dependent on welfare then I'm sure they would have a problem with Orientals too. It is not race that they object to -- it's culture.

There is a reason that White-Oriental (i.e. EAST Asian) have the highest out of race compatibility rate. It is due to similarity of culture and values.
A very good study of interracial marriages can be found here: http://pewsocialtrends.org/files/201...rrying-out.pdf It shows that one in seven marriages is now interracial.

Ahh, is someone having difficulty finding a lady who will give him the time of day? Maybe the problem isn't all American women and instead the problem is you and how you act? It's not that hard, big guy.

hmmm I have never heard someone say this unless it was a joke. Course doesn't mean that's the only way it could have been said by others. The last time I heard someone this it was from a Tea Party candidate.
But then again I'm not the type to make a big deal about something that hardly EVER happens and means little except to the ones who jump at the opportunity to play the race card.

I go out of my way not to mention the people of color I have dated and have as family members in race discussions whenever possible for this exact reason.

A lot of it basically stems from the fact that a lot of guys only find the males of another race offend them, but the women are perfectly fine because, well...they can **** them.

Good point. The Conquistadors were very racist, that didn't stop them from having sex with the indigenous females. They did massacre the males however.
