So what is your non-ignorant, non-obsessed opinion on the matter? Not the PP, you quoted, BTW. |
Yes, race is a social construct. But there are reasons why you're not supposed to marry your cousin (or even 3rd cousin). Genetic diversity is a proven evolutionary benefit. I'm mixed, so I certainly may be a bit biased - but there's no arguing those facts (and yes, there are occasionally exceptions to the rule). It's simple science. |
Thou doth protest too much.
|
How in the hell would having mixed children make someone "ignorant?" FYI I am mixed myself, and have a mixed partner. |
Try using the internet sometimes. |
So prove me wrong. Is marrying your relatives a good thing? Keeping the gene pool small is beneficial, in exactly what way? |
There is a difference between biracial and multiple-racial, and you seem to have thrown in the whole kitchen kabootal (sic). Some on your list are really questionable. And, you seem to go for people in a career where beauty is required. I could counter you with a list of beauties from their profession who are not bi or multiple-racial, so your list is ridiculous. Think about some ordinary folks in professions where beauty is not the number one or two pre-requisite for the job, and then come back. I like Barack a lot, but he has extremely large erckle ears. Diesel, yuck. NE-yo, double yuck. I also noticed you don't have fugly Tiger Woods on that list of celebrities, but in his profession, looks are not required. |
Hmmm, who said it does? Those two statements are completely independent of each other (Hint: The period separating the sentences is your clue). Stop being so damn defensive! |
So, no proof? Gotcha. |
Personal preferences are a bit different than overall impression. All of the above are generally considered very attractive, though of course not everyone is going to agree with every assessment. |
Genetic diversity is not quite that simple. You seem to have a lot of time to sit around and insist that mixed race people are superior over and over again. It's kind of weird that it's so important to you, but I don't have time to give you a biology lesson. If feeling that way makes you happy, who am I to argue with you. |
In other words, you're deflecting. Please explain why you think that genetic diversity as a positive thing, is "ignorant." Married to your cousin, are you? |
Translation: "I don't have to explain my lack of thought [puts fingers in ears, screams LALALA]." |
I'm not disputing that genetic diversity is a positive. I find the "on the greater whole, being biracial/multiracial is a very good thing" ignorant. You seem to be confused about how one may get some diversity in their gene pool. |
PP, you are officially on the train to crazytown. You are actually arguing with more than 1 poster, and we have noted that you seem really confused about what genetic diversity means. Please calm down. |
