[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

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, [b]embarrassingly[/b] laughable, trope.

You're a coward. And a lazy coward, at that.[/quote]

I give up with you. You're strangely immature and seem incapable of having an intelligent discussion without resorting to sophomoric antics. Enjoy your life to the fullest![/quote]

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 :-) [/quote]
