[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a mixed race family and it's been great to see more commercials with mixed race families and kids. I know my DD will grow up in a world where this is more and more the norm.

And someday, Ms. Anti-interracial marriage will be an old, racist-remark spewing lady and all this generation of mixed kids will feel is pity -- they will know they are just as good as anyone of any race![/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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."[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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

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![/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]
