Should interracial marriages be promoted?

Post Reply New Topic

It's funny, my ethnicity is a mixture of Iranian and Scottish and I've never had any identity crises. Ever. I never have any "OMG WHERE DO I BELONG WHAT DO I DO I AM HALF IRANIAN AND HALF SCOTTISH AND I BELONG NOWHERE!! !!" angst. It's just the way my family has always been. It's just the default to me. It isn't any deviation from any norm, it's just the way things have been since I was born, so it's really nothing new to me.

And no one has ever teased me about being Iranian/Scottish, ever. And I got a lot of teasing in my younger days. Probably kids were too busy teasing me for being a shy, weird, nerdy, big-boobed 12-year-old with an obsession with fascism and dictatorships.

Or maybe things are different in New Zealand

Can I also please say that nothing annoys me more than when well-meaning people go "OMG what a fascinating mixture!! !!1!!11!"? It's kind of dehumanising. It makes me feel like an animal in the zoo to be gawked at, or a dog. I am not a "fascinating mixture", I'm a person.

Inter racial marriage happens all the time. Men marry Women.

I am a member of the male race and my wife is a member of the female race.

What inference are we supposed to draw from this?

What to say on this..ITS ONLY PIGMENTATION....we all have it!..TOO CRAZY that people are so bloody stupid to kill over it!

Racism is not a big enough issue/problem to justify such a form of liberal tyranny.

Racism is exaggerated.

People should be allowed to marry whomever they want; however, I feel staying within your culture is best, especially if inter-racial marriage might result in your language going lost and your children having to be raised as anglophones, as a compromise because you happen to be Zulu and your wife happens to be Mandarin Chinese and you have to use English as your communal household language.

Why should groups be forced or expected to mingle? A country can function perfectly even though it's people are socially separated according to ethnic or cultural lines. Look at Switzerland, as an example.

Here in South Africa, all the different cultural groups stick to themselves socially. There are next to zero interracial marrriages here. Yet in the work place, people from all different cultures, ethnic groups and skin colour work together without any problems. Racism will only stick out its head when people are forced by the government or other liberal movements to mix when they don't want to.

South Africa had Apartheid, but that was mostly a result of the country having two competing white cultures: the small and endangered Afrikaner cultural group and the mighty and influential British/English South Africans, as well as because white people were an extreme minority. After Apartheid ended, the fact that the country remained stable and passive is testimony that there was never actual major racial hatred. Segregation was practised here for much more complicated reasons than in America and Australia. In South Africa the society is in harmony, even though the different groups don't inter marry and stick to their own groups socially. The problems we have are poverty, goverment incompetence and corruption, out of control immigration and crime. Out of all these problems, the only one that inter-racial marriages can help solve is that of poverty, as wealth from a white family might find it's way to a less fortunate, previously disadvantaged black family. But offering incentives for inter racial marriages will be a sick and unfair way to fight poverty. Just end the mismanagement of funds and divert it to creating jobs. The South African society, and I believe the American society as well, does not need to encourage inter racial marriages.

Racism is not that major of an issue and not that bad. There are some really alarmist caucasian liberal hypochondriac nut cases out there that will press this issue very hard in the future, but just ignore them. Maybe they'll go away.

I thought the term "coloreds" was passe and considered to be disparaging to blacks.
Leave it to a liberal.

Here are a few of South Africa's 4.5 million Coloureds:

I suspect that inter-breeding occurred as soon as Europeans established contact. A typical priority for young adventurers is to insert their penises into a vagina, particularly after a lengthy sea voyage.

With permanent European settlement, interracial marriages had to have been fairly common, as European men found the local ladies to be quite comely and appealing.

For some reason, after South Africa started importing European women as wives for its White men, or after White European families started moving to South Africa, the large number of Coloured people became second-class citizens.

There was a similar situation in North America. Pocahontas had married John Rolfe, and was brought to England to advertise the availability of similar maidens in the New World, and to promote additional English settlement. Some time after that, people in the United States would go to great pains to deny any non-European ancestry.

I love mixed flavours so I have no problem with marrying other races.

What's that you say? I provided some eye candy for the ladies and gay men, but nothing for the heterosexual gents? Well, we can't have that now, can we? I feel your pain indeed.

She has the cutest little walk that I've ever seen.

Some cultures could use some east asian european and central asian genetics for its women but east asian european and central asian women should stay to their own culture for the most part dont need the best to be too watered down.

I don't know if inter-racial marriages should be -promoted- but I think such marriages should NOT be prevented.
