I'm the pp you are referencing. Nothing that I wrote is hateful and it's definitely not about anyone feeling "less than". I get that this is personal to you and your family, but you're projecting a bit.

If you think that racism is only about someone being or feeling "less than," than you are kidding no one but yourself. You are a racist. Whether or not you admit it to yourself, you are a racist.

Didn't say that either. Not sure why you find it necessary to make things up (or tell me what I think/say), but have at it.

You admitted you don't support interracial marriages and/or relationships, correct? Ergo, you are a racist. It's not particularly complicated.

It's interesting how you are complaining about others allegedly "making things up (or tell [you] what [you] think/say), when you're telling others that you don't think they should marry people of a different "race."

That should be "don't agree with" DOES NOT EQUAL "dislike/hate". Learn the nuances of human emotions.

What is there to agree or disagree with? It's not an opinion, it simply...is. People marry who they want, thankfully with no input needed from your tiny mind. In fact, nobody is asking for your (racist) opinion, which you can feel free to keep to yourself. It's not like we're asking for your views on tort reform.

Uhmmmm, actually it IS about having an opinion on a particular issue. This opinion is separate from any notion that the opinion should influence the decision of others. Get a grip.

Get a grip? Really?

So you have an opinion that people shouldn't get married. But that they shouldn't listen to your opinion. Oh, OK.

Uhmm, yes. Why is that so hard to believe? I actually think it's quite simple, in fact. Do you think that the actions of a person should be dictated by another's opinion? That's a dangerous viewpoint to have.

Perhaps you shouldn't even have an opinion on something that doesn't affect you, moron.

Your statement, combined with you calling me a moron, is the epitome of irony.

A lot of products have been quietly sneaking politically mixed couples (conservative hubby & liberal wife, mostly), in an attempt to smooth over the political differences in the country. Tragically, it has had little effect.

Wrong, but I will assume you don't actually know the definition of racism, are not a minority and/or have never experienced actual racism.

Wrong. I'm mixed/biracial myself, and have experienced racism form the likes of your ignorant racist brand.

Wrong, but it suits you to think that and it's fine with me. Might I give you some advice? When someone has an opinion that is different from your own, find out why. Tossing insults, accusations and/or hate does nothing to further the conversation and we both end up right where we started. I've found that even when a person has a viewpoint that I find distasteful, outrageous, weird, strange, etc it's always interesting to find out why they hold that viewpoint (whether or not I agree and/or eventually accept it is another matter).

Have a great weekend!

Not the PP, but I"ll bite.

Why. Explain your reasoning.

Here's a tip - when your "opinion" means that because of your "opinion," someone might not even exist, then people have every right to call you out. You are a racist, because you are a racist. If you want to deny that, or brush it off as an "insult" rather than admitting what you are, that's your problem. You denying what you are does nothing to further a conversation. I've found that even when a racist gives a bullshit reason like "cultural discord," or "dislike" they are still very much a racist.

Have a splendid weekend! I hope you're not too offended by all the lovely mixed raced couples enjoying their time together, showing their affection for one another.

I think if I saw this commercial I wouldn't have even noticed anything, living in DC, this is the norm. Mixed couples, same sex couples, one parent, grandparents.

I love that my daughter will learn to value the broad definition of family. Go Cheerios!

No, they don't. That makes no sense at all. If my opinion is something that I hold but keep to myself and, as such, don't infringe on the rights of others, I can think the way I want. You have an incredibly close-minded view of the world. While I think it's absolutely necessary for people to have the freedom to do as they choose (as long as they aren't hurting others), insisting that they also agree with you is a bit weird (and unrealistic).

Example: For a long time, I opposed SSM (and still do to a certain degree). However, I voted in favor of SSM last November. I am able to divorce my opinion from policies that affect the day-to-day lives of people. I'm sorry you aren't able to do the same.

So you don't publicly share your racism, unless it's anonymous? Why? Because you're a coward? I'm genuinely curious.

And HAHAHAHAHAHA! It's about time you brought the "being intolerant of intolerance makes you closed minded" overused and highly laughable, embarrassingly laughable, trope.

You're a coward. And a lazy coward, at that.

Ah, but antiquated racist beliefs aren't immature. But of course. I'd love to have an intelligent conversation, but there's nothing intelligent about racism or bigotry. When you're willing to progress forward into modernity, I'll be happy to chat.

Trust me - my mixed self, along with my mixed partner, will enjoy swirling it up to the fullest

This! My DH had to pause the TiVo and point it out to me. I am white and DH is Hispanic. My BIL is Indian. My neighbors and fellow ES parents are everything; many interracial couples and many gay couples. The ad represents the norm in my world and didn't stand out as unusual.
