I do not want a mixed race kid - is that racist?

I don't like a black colored vehicle. Am I a racists? I have always been attracted to blonds and fair skin. Am I a racists. I could never date a female with a swarthy complexion or one with black skin. Am I a racists? I don't like a white colored vehicle. Am I a racists? Of course I'm not a racists. Do I think all white skin people are more intelligent than all black skin people? Of course I don't. Therefore I'm not a racists. Do I think different skin shades have different cultures? Of course, I know so. Am I a racists? See how silly this crap gets.

 

Yeah I thought I'd just slip it in and see if anyone noticed.

 

You are correct. One must look at it from a practical standpoint. Some want to see a racist behind every tree just to keep the perpetual victim hood alive. It has turned into nothing but noise.

 

As much as it costs to raise a child, I wouldn't adopt anyway.

 

If not for the last sentence I would have given this post a like. Our culture is alienating, I don't think it was always this way, but somewhere between traditional values and civil rights (1945 - 1968 )we seem to have essentially changed as a people.

The question posed by the OP may be more relevant than he realizes though. Adoption rates for mixed race babies are much worse than they are for babies born to parents of the same race, at least in areas where there are large groups of many different races. Often adopting parents will reject a mixed race baby if it was not clearly defined as such by the natural parent. This is true across racial lines though, black adopting parents want an all black child as much as white adopting parents want a white one, or asian or whatever. So, on the surface it seems pretty racist, but people in glass houses and all...

A notable exception may be native american adopting parents who seem satisfied with adopting children who have any native american lineage at all.

 

Yep I think it is. More importantly why would that impact you?

 

So? I'm just supposed to like America culture?I just can't say no to it?


What has caused this polarization are two big influences, those who are socially engineering America into something it was not meant to be, and the mass media. One of the other common behaviors in America is that if Americans hear the same thing over and over again, and if there are no contrary views or education, then Americans tend to adopt the something as a truth. That's why mass media is dominated by one group of people and they whine about FOX News and other media, they want only their beliefs and opinions expressed and absolutely nobody else's.

And I don't oppose mixed race adoptions.

 

Well...yeah. It is. Its rating a value on a person--a child--because of race. Ya know---there are quite a few mixed race kids here in Oklahoma, and they are just....kids.

 

not really, its quite obvious who the racists are.

 

thats because it is, lol

 

Let's clarify this. What you're really saying here is that when it comes to babies of your own, your preference is that they'd be white, rather than asian or black, mixed or whetever. It is, quite simply, a matter of personal preference regarding race. However, let's say you own a store, and you'd prefer it if only white people shopped there, that too would just be a personal preference regarding race. I'm sure most would certainly accuse you of being a racist in the second case, but not nearly as many would say you're a racist in the first case. But there's really no fundamental difference between the two. In both cases, it's simply you expressing a personal preference regarding race.

In order to be consistent, we must treat these cases the same, because they fundamentally are the same. If we consider it bad -even to the point of making it illegal- that you prefer white customers in your shop, we must also consider it bad -maybe even make it illegal- that you prefer white babies. In fact, any personal preference of yours which regards race ought to be handled the same way, because they are fundamentally the same.

But I, for one, is not very interested in going about making people's preferences illegal, and I am consistent, which is why I am okay with you both expressing your preferences when it comes to the race of babies, but also the race of your sex partners, or even the race of your customers.

 

Pretty much.

Next question?

Not wanting your own child due to their race seems to me to be the epitome of racism. Nothing is forcing you to have a mixed race child, so summarily rejected said theoretical child solely on the race of that child is pretty racist.

 

a retard would disagree with this, jus sayin, lol.

 

Why would the skin color matter to you is my question?

 

Yes, of course it's racist.

 

I hear you man. No problem with that. A lot of people are just jerks, but that is as you say, determined by their behavior and nothing else.

I'm pretty sure if we hung out we'd get along just fine. I'm ready to respect anyone who's decent and respectful. Always give the benefit of the doubt, assuming people are good and waiting for them to prove otherwise. Color/race/religion/orientation, etc, doesn't have anything to do with it. There isn't anyone on this planet that I can't learn something from, and for that reason be grateful to.

Peace

 

Hardly, I mean that kid doesn't look remotely like me so why would I want to produce it?

 

Pretty much the same thing though, ie; a colored baby is a look I choose not to entertain

nonsense, for example I don't want sex with another man, so does that mean I'm a homophobe?

so people are sexist then for not being attracted to me, kind of absurd logic you have there Jonah

 

Because I want the baby to have the same bloodline as myself - why distort that?

And remember the country that the other 50% of the kid came from - ie: if that is a 3rd World place why would I want those genes carried over into my descendents etc..

 

Honestly I never thought it would be an issue; what difference does it matter about the genes being carried over. Guess I'm missing something here.

 

No....it means you are not gay.
