    why should someone have an issue with it?

    thats pretty stupid.


    though i did know a girl who said her parents would probably disown her if she married a black guy. she also said they would be upset but far LESS upset if she married an asian man, because they consider them "more respectable"

    I think your daughters would like to marry a man with a large black, erm, car.:rolleyes:

    Me, personally, as long as they don't marry Fitzy or his offspring, I'll be fine who ever they choose. [​IMG]

    Whoa....They sound just like my parents !!!

    Although they wouldn't disown me, they'd just threaten with suicide.

    I actually think about that ALOT. something purely visual can so throw us for a loop and a half. But im still fascinated by colour. how it affects us. how it blinds us. and that any people are just like me at all.

    I just feel like its not worth it. I mean, when I think what I'd have to go through if I wanted to marry outside of my race ( or outside my religion ).
    I somehow feel like its just not worth it.

    You know what people expect from you and it kinda sticks to you....If you know what I mean.

    Well my part of Europe isn't.
    We still stare when we see a black person. Or a mixed couple.

    I think "inter-racial" couples are a good thing.

    European jews are white so I don't know if you'd consider it the same, but I was the first person in my mother's family to have a non Jewish parent, and I couldn't be more thankful for that. everyone should be less insular instead of just pairing off with their "own kind".
