Yes, that's racist. As a bonus it's also ignorant, in as much as it is lacking any sort of understanding of how genetic populations work.

If a white boy wants a bit of darker meat its normally ok. but if its a darkie going for some white ass then thats when it becomes an issue. That seems to be the way its looked at innit.

How is it racist ?

Do you also think it's morally wrong ?

Yes, it is incredibly racist. You say the white people are being 'bred out'? That says it all really. You've totally missed the point that if this couple had children, the 'black genes' would be diluted too. But that doesn't matter, does it, because they're not the "master race"? :rolleyes:

personally speaking i would never marry a black woman, just not my cup of tea. would't try and stop anyone else from doing so though

I think his point is that there are about 3 billion black people and only about 1.5 billion white (figures from my hat).
Because there are more black people than white people, there is a larger chance that there will be no 'pure' white people left, eventually, and that characteristics associated with being white will be subsumed.

Also while nearly all areas of white population now have large black minorities, there are many locations where there are only black people and no white/asian (why do racial purists always forget the Asians:P) minorities to 'dilute' their blood. So there isn't the same issue regarding black people being bred out.

Probably we'll end up with a situation like Brazil all over the world, with most people being of mixed ancestry eventually.
And Brazillians tend to be hot.

Just goes to show that you can have black friends & still be a racist. The two are not inseperable.

I really think if this was pointed out to more people then racism against inter-racial marriages would quickly be a thing of the past.

Interbreeding between races can't be a bad thing. It certainly beats inbreeding that leads to all sorts of bad stuff.

And who can argue with hot beige babes (male or female)? Oh Rio, Rio.

So is Barack Obama a mixed race US President or an African-American one?

Oh yeah them shantytown-resident girls are smokin'.....

Brazil is kind of like Ireland. We pretend to the world that we are more friendly than the average by showcasing friendly people and putting up propaganda that we are some sort of fair isle. Brazil does the same with their apparant beauties running around the place on beaches. Far away from anywhere tourists won't visit. They are as hot or 'unhot' as any other country.

I consider him mixed race, but if he wants to identify as black that's understandable. Someone who is 1/2 or 1/4 black will almost always be considered 'black' by white people. A lot of Irish people see me as non-white, and I'm only 1/4 Italian (which of course, is still as Caucasian as being 100% Irish). In the States I'm just another white girl, over here I get asked what 'race' I put down on forms. People are strange.

I can't disagree with this. I used to think Brazilians were all incredibly hot and toned, male or female. I imagined loads of Adriana Limas and Giselle Bundchens walking around the place. Then I taught English in a school which was 90% Brazilian. They really weren't that hot. The hot ones were really amazing looking, but the majority were below average. People kept saying it must be great to work with Brazilian hotties all day, but honestly, most of them were mingers.

In the words of Italian leader Silvio Berlusconi: Barack Obama is 'young, handsome and even tanned."

That kind of thinking really pisses me off. I'm in an "inter-racial relationship" - (not that that thought ever occurs to me and I hate that term) and what's the problem? My OH is South African and 15 years ago, us being together was against the law in South Africa. That JPs thinking is not far from that.

I found in Ireland that people were quite tolerant of "interracial relationships". This old drunk lady sat next to me OH on a plane once and kept telling him what beautiful babies we'd have and stroking his arm. Twas hilarious!

I'd love for one of those racist hypocritical bible-belt wasters to explain exactly where in the bible Jesus said, "Thou shalt not marry someone of lighter or darker skin." Seriously, I just cannot fathom discriminating against people like that, it's barbaric.

I've just finished watching "Roots".
Brilliant re-searching by Alex Haley into the slave trade and why it was so wrong for white men to think that a different colour skin was inferior.

Well worth a look.

I've always wanted to get into a discussion with one of these morons and explain that really if you think about the region Jesus was from he aint no white man. But after seeing a documentary with the idiots about how they couldn't understand that Egypt and the Pyramids of Gizaone one of the greatest architectural sights you could ever see and is the only monument remaining of the 7 wonders of the anicent world were in fact in Africa. He argued with the guy and asked him what kind of geography he studied in school. I decided that there is no point in arguing or trying to have a 'discussion' with someone that stupid. They are in fact so stupid they are not worth the energy used to get angry at them.
