They can claim to be black and nobody will blink.

If they could claim to be white and anyone would buy that, it might be a different story.

I don't think most people want to treat others like garbage. I don't deny there are racists out there, but I truly do believe majority of the people are not racists.

This said, I do believe mixed relationships is not for everybody. If somebody claim they won't date people outside their race, I think their wish should be respected. People with a racial preference are the same as people with other preferences. It is natural and it is nothing offensive.

A poster once said on the dating forum that "If you (the general term) don't date people outside your race, that means you are a racist." I found this kind of thought totally strange. Live and let live.

I agree. And it is the Democrats that push racial divisiveness.

I spent several years in China, the people from the south look down on people from the north, and vice versa. Probably human nature to discriminate.
It's even more pronounced in India as well northerners look down on Southerners.

Do you have evidence to back this up?
Yes the entire scientific community.

As per your article:

*"almost all modern humans “have this incredibly complex history of mixing and mating and migration."

"Almost..."

So, no, you don't have evidence for your claim.

I happened to agree with this opinion.

What else would you call it when people say, pure race is boring?

I don't necessarily think there is an agenda, but it is bizarre that mixed race folks (some of them) would make comment like pure race is boring.
A poster on the relationship forum even said he believed everybody should be mixed in the future. I do find it bizarre. If people just want to date or marry to somebody of their own race, let them be.

Just was stating basically you are fueling his flames by giving him attention and especially stating you agree with him about anything.


I don't go by one post of a poster. If you look over this entire thread and his posts you will see that his spiel is that whites are being erased. He's worried about white people specifically and not homogenous populations. His fears and ideas are not about other ethnic groups in America. I agree with you that race is not a big thing and said as such in my initial post. I also mentioned that mixed people have always been around (they have). You being a multi-ethnic person just is weird IMO that you'd cosign a pretty obvious white supremacist.

I agree with his one post, and I explained why. I don't think he is a supremacist based on what he said. Lol stop it.

Technically all relationships are mixed relationships since all people are a genetic mix.

Even the concept of "race" is highly problematic to define. Would a white man dating a women who is half white and half black be dating outside his race?
