Not a spectacular wedding at all. Pretty boring and bland.
Ah, there you are. The expected race-baiter, right on time. Get a life.
Dp - you’re joking, right? There were 60+ pictures and barely a brunette, let alone a person of any color other than lily white.
And this is a problem for you why, exactly? Do you typically critique wedding photos from say, black families, and become outraged that there are few or no white faces? You sound like an absolute idiot. Your fixation on race is why people can't stand you.
NP but actually the people responding "should they hire some blacks? do you critique the blacks??" are the ones who sound like absolute idiots. There is not a single person of color in any picture, and there are entirely too many pictures to begin with. Not a solitary Asian guest, Latino, Native, Black, nada. If you make it to the age of 40 without a single friend who doesn't look like they could be your cousin, it's noteworthy and definitely a conscious choice. It stands out and I can't help but wonder if it's intentional to complement their "Old World Nantucket" aesthetic.
You're one of *those* people, right? The type who looks for offence where there is none. You must be exhausting to be around, let alone live with.
I'm a person who was raised in the United States of America in the late twentieth century and as a result knows people of many races. Sorry if that means you need a nap.
You're a virtue signaling ninny and no one - NO ONE - cares how many people of different races you know. But no doubt your hobby is listing them all on a spreadsheet and patting yourself on the back. Enjoy!
Diversity certainly is a virtue, but embracing it is not a signal. It's interesting how infuriated you are by the concept though. Economic anxiety strikes again.
OTC, it is you who is infuriated by the idea white people. How upsetting!
You've called everyone you've responded to on this thread names and resorted to personal attacks in each and every response. It's a little late to aim for "unbothered" at this point. But I guess if you believe in "race baiting" you must be easily baited.
Okay so I've gotten to page 9 or something, haven't gotten through everything, but I'm that PP who is apparently being called a race-baiter. That is just weird.
I never said they're racist. I never said they need to "hire a bunch of Blacks." Gosh, these responses are so weird.
I said I was surprised.
Surprised because I am 33 years old, not super progressive, grew up in the Midwest, but yeah, for many years now I have had the understanding that as a white person I would definitely be better off getting to know and be friends with Black people and people of other races/cultures. Yes, it actually takes some effort. I don't like to admit that. I realized at one point that my family grew up not talking about race, as if talking about it meant you're dividing people or being somehow racist.
Yes, it is surprising to me that in 2022, a 33 yo woman and 43 yo man in the USA have a large luxurious wedding with no guests from other races.
I can't read into their intent, or oversight, or whatever, but yes I find it odd and surprising, and I would probably find it an awkward aspect if I were to attend a wedding like this.
Not sure if I should even share this detail but I'm married to a black man. We have 3 beautiful biracial children. So yes I think about these kinds of things.
And yes I think everyone would benefit from having a diverse social circle. It may take effort. But it's worth it.
