But, again, given the stats we will soon all be getting along because everyone will share genes. I would think you'd look at that as a good thing.

Note - the most violent areas in the USA are often areas of the same genetic makeup. Right now, the lowest violent crime is in the entire Northeast (big time diverse) - and the highest is the South and TX, etc. (maybe less diverse?).

South Carolina has the highest property crime rate.
"the state with the highest violent crime rate was Tennessee, with a rate of 608.2 per 100,000"

Is TN the US capital of diversity? It's about 300% greater in violent crime than our state.
Top safest states - 1) Vermont 2) Maine 3) NH. Not racially diverse. Maybe they share genes.

This is common sense, but based on your post, it seems like it needs to be pointed out. Love and sexual attraction are not the same thing.

Race plays a smaller part on how kids will do than how successful the parents are. A black parent and a white parent who are both successful will, statistically, have more successful children than two white parents who live in poverty.

Trump himself dated a black woman. I think he likes women of all kinds. I think he's made that perfectly clear. lol

There are many racist dudes that like minority chicks but despise minority dudes.

Not that "God" is a valid reference here, but we all descended from a single race that started in Africa.

Not everyone is like you in going out of their way to support diversity. Diversity is okay, but we shouldn't force it.

From living in the NYC area way too long I've found inter-ethnic marriages are much more divisive than interracial marriage. My Irish buddy married his Italian girlfriend and the entire family came to blows at the wedding reception. It actually made the NYC tabloids. At the baptism of their first kid the families sat on opposite sides of the church and held separate parties afterwards. A Scottish acquaintance had to elope with his Greek girlfriend after his life was threatened by her cousins. She was disinherited by her family and they live in California now to stay out of harms way. At my last job a very sweet young lady born in America to immigrant Indian parents had to refuse any offers to go out as her parents had already arranged her marriage with a distant cousin.

If one of my kids wanted to marry someone of another race, creed or color my only reservation would be, do they love you?

If your family is white or Asian you have between 1% and 4% Neanderthal genes.

It may even account for your light skin color.

The media will almost exclusively show two versions of "acceptable" IR relationships, the white man/asian woman couple and the black man/white woman couple.

I feel for black women. They, as well as asian and indian men often get the short end of the stick in terms of public desirability. There is some truth to that, that for every good black man who marries a non-black woman, that is one less "acceptable" partner for black women. However, if they self-limit themselves to only wanting a black man, that is on them. What they cannot control is how other perceive them, which is sadly negatively sometimes.

Black women cannot control how they "look" or their skin color but they can work to change men's perception of them and rehabilitate the negative stereotypes surrounding them.

This is true, but women can be even more racist than men, and not in ways that are overtly racist. Many white women would not deign to be with a black man and many asian women subscribe to a form of hypergamic racism where they will only date white men to the exclusion of any other men and believe they are being "colorblind" and "progressive" while doing so. Utter BS.

Perhaps you should read the comment I was responding to before the defensive reaction.

It had nothing to do with who Trump agrees with.
