I did a little bit of reading on race relations, and noticed the slow, yet steady, climb in the rates of interracial marriage. Arguments on this issue run the gammut of praise and support, to accusations of dilluting the gene pool and "genocide".

I'd like to know what you think. Would you engage in a relationship with someone of a different "race", possibly leading to marriage?

If I loved her, I guess I would. That's what it's all about, really.

Yes. Would you?

No. I am not attracted to non-whites.

What "other race"? Martian maybe? No, I married a Human.

What "other race"? Martian maybe? No, I married a Human.

Get a grip. Humanity isnt a race...it's a species...

No problem for me.

I would be interested in the person, not the "race".

What "other race"? Martian maybe? No, I married a Human.
I'd marry a Martian, if she were a rich bitch.

You mean for example if I was a 100m specialist and she was more into marathons?

Probably not. There's not much meat on those marathoners.

Yes. Would you?

Aye, I would, if I loved her.

No.

Would I?! I already did!

I dunno, I really prefer the 100m and I don't know if I could deal with a 500m'er...

Yes.

No. I am not attracted to non-whites.
But if you were? One beautiful day, skipping out of your trailer, you see the most beautiful... eh, non-white you've ever seen, and her radiance put even the whitest of the white to shame... or something.

Then what?

HA HA!...double entendres abound!

THAT WAS YOU?!?!

If you run like you post, you're slow for the 100m.

Then what?
Her? Well, I am only attracted to males. White ones. And no, it wouldn't happen. Looks play too large a part for me.

Trailer.. lol.

I am more sexually attracted to men who fall into what I gather people in the US refer to as the "Caucasian" group, but that by no means means that I don't get attracted to people who are not "Caucasian." There are some very hunky black men out there... in any case, this is unrelated to emotional attraction, in which I have not experienced any sort of distinction between the different "races." One of my more serious emotional attachments was to an Arab man.

The key to my answer comes in the first three words of the question: "Would you marry..." and the short answer is "not likely." I've been divorced once and my current g/f and I have been together nearly 6 years with no plans to marry unless there's some outside benefit to doing so. (She's once-divorced as well.)

As to the race thing, I've had sexual relationships with women who were of different ethnicities from me, so if I were in the mood to marry and I were in love with a woman of another race, then sure, I'd marry her (assuming she'd have me, that is).

:eek:

THAT WAS YOU?!?!
*lights smoke bomb*
*runs*

Eh yea, If I loved her then to me it wouldn't matter what her skin colors was. The rednecks on my mom side of the family would mind though, and I might lose about half of my family, but ah well.

If I loved her, then I guess so. But I doubt I will; I find women of my race more attractive than most women of other races. There are plenty of women who are really hot that are African or Asian, but I don't consider most to be. It's all a matter of taste.

Yes, I would. It's the person, not their race.

But if you were? One beautiful day, skipping out of your trailer, you see the most beautiful... eh, non-white you've ever seen, and her radiance put even the whitest of the white to shame... or something.

EM would more be surprised to find out he's a heterosexual, than he would be surprised at her not being white, I'd gather.

Yes, it would rather come as a shock. I would be one of those deviant heterosexuals. :eek:

Double whammy!

Agreed. I would easily if I loved her and she loved me. Its all about the person not the colour of their skin

Yes, it would rather come as a shock. I would be one of those deviant heterosexuals. :eek:

Ugh, yucky!

I would...But it doesn't seem a lot of non-asian women are attracted to Asian males.

Asian men get no love...:(

You pick a life partner based on the person inside the skin. If not, then that's not going to turn out to be a partner for life.

What "other race"? Martian maybe? No, I married a Human.

If one wanted to marry outside the race, you might try cloning a Homo sapiens idaltu a la Jurassic Park....

Get a grip. Humanity isnt a race...it's a species...

Incorrect - human is a genus (aka Homo), not a species. Homo sapiens sapiens however is a race which, wheter you like it or not all existant humans belong to (unless you can turn up an existing Homo sapiens idaltu....)

Aye, I would, if I loved her.

Can't say fairer than that!

No, but only because inter-racial marriages are condemned in the Bible

Like it is with so many others, if I'd truly love the person, it wouldn't matter to me of what color is his skin, or of what shape are his eyes. And actually, the person of any race can be attractive or unattracive (at least, to me).

I'd like to know what you think. Would you engage in a relationship with someone of a different "race", possibly leading to marriage?

You mean there are still "pure bloods" on this planet ? That must have taken a huge amount of inbreeding...

No, but only because inter-racial marriages are condemned in the Bible

Yes, the religious aspect of your bigotry makes all the difference. :rolleyes:

Sure, why not?

I can't marry out of my race since all humans are in my race...

The 1950s called. They want their mindset back.

I have nothing against people of other creeds and colors, my best friend's of Asian origin.

Reminded me of Corny just there.

And there..

So basicly your view is: we are all humans and I respect everyone, but God does just not wish that people with a different skincolour marry- which sucks since that Asian chick over there is pretty cute, but He is "The Man" and I therefor have to obey ?

I'm only following the Bible to be a good Christian.


Really? I wasn't aware that predjudice and ignorance were mandated by God. People like you are an embarrassment to the entire human race.

Talk to a Skinhead, they will assert that whites are "pure" and must not contaminate their race.

But yes...inbreeding is probable...

No they aren't.

In the case of a drunken Vegas style wedding, then yes.

"I don't mind other races, so long as they know their place." It was racist then, and it's racist now.

BTW, you do know that Jesus wasn't white, don't you?

Being serious now, and speaking from experience it's not differing race which can cause problems but cultures.
There's so much unspoken and inherent in a person's culture. Rules and ways of doing things and acting which you are practically unaware of, because they are so ingrained.
And that's where the problems can occur. Someone from a different culture doesn't know these unwritten coda and can (and will) quite unwittingly offend or annoy. What makes it worse is that the other person doesn't quite understand why they're offended and can even feel the slight was delibrate, because surely only someone who delibrately wants to be an arse would break that culturally-accepted norm.

A couple of Kiwi examples:
1. Being invited to a party and ask to 'bring a plate' - meaning to bring some food along. Anyone who doesn't is viewed as a selfish greedy wanker.
2. (Especially Maori and Polynesian households) - take your shoes off when you enter their home. Don't do that, they won't ever invite you back and it's likely they won't talk to you again either. It's one of the most insulting things you can do.


Asian cultures are also particularly bad, because there's quite rigid and stricct understandings on how each person should behave in a relationship. And I've got a horde of those cultural-misunderstandings I can share.

I'd like to know what you think. Would you engage in a relationship with someone of a different "race", possibly leading to marriage?Hypothetical yes-vote from me. I will never marry, as the religious undertones would be incompatible with what I look for in a partnership.. Like love, honesty, compassion, respect, integrity & great sex.

He's just not worthy marrying for your white ass.

The religious aspect of your bigotry makes it even worse. The perversion of the basic message of love.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

yes as long as I think they are hot as fack. dont care what race.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

No, you're not. "Thou shalt not bear false witness."

No. I have no plans to marry.

In the case of a drunken Vegas style wedding, then yes.
Meet ye there ;)

did

if you consider hispanic a race. which i dont. but some people do.

so

yes.

I'm sorry you feel that way.
Yup, hello Corny II

Does it really matter, I like latinos mostly myself, But I seen hot as fack, whites, Blacks, arabs, etc. so really dont matter. Its kinda a stupid question also by the way.

Talk to a Skinhead, they will assert that whites are "pure" and must not contaminate their race.Yes. Talk to a Skinhead Bolol. One of those evil Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice, for example.. Or one of the Asian, Jamaican, African-American or whatever-the-fuckistan skins.

Skinhead culture was born by the clash of colours & cultures. A racist skinhead isn't just a moron, it's an oxymoron.

So they claim that noone in their ancestry ever had any mixed blood whatsoever ?

Impressive. Their familytrees must be the oldest written documents on earth to convey such certainty.

Middle Eastern peasant; wouldn't have it any other way.

Well, genus is more inclusive then a species so it'd be more wrong to call it a race then species...About your 2nd point, Are you saying homo sapiens is a race??

Well, I have yet to be particularly attracted to someone outside my ethnicity, but my basis for marriage is not ethnicity, it's whether or not I want to marry the person. So, yes, assuming I get attracted to the person and eventually reach that level. Why would I pass up the right person simply because of skin?
And no, culture won't stop me either. I'll just ask that I be taught EVERYTHING first...

Would you marry someone of a different race?
Hell I'm getting that desperate I'd consider marrying someone of a different species.

Well, genus is more inclusive then a species so it'd be more wrong to call it a race then species...About your 2nd point, Are you saying homo sapiens is a race??

Technically speaking, I think homo sapiens sapiens is the race, and homo sapiens is the species. And yes, okay, I might have a hard time marrying a Neanderthal. I do require that the person have similar intelligence to myself.

Middle Eastern peasant; wouldn't have it any other way.

And the first Socialist....

I wouldnt marry someone of another race. Not because I have something against other races, I just havnt really been attracted to them, thats all.

Plus, I dont think my family would like it very much.

I tend to be attracted to people with quite interesting racial mixes, but subconsciously, I guess it might be me trying to avoid inbreeding, or some kind of supressed white shame. But consciously, race doesn't really play too much of factor for me.

Been there, done that...

BTW, you do know that Jesus wasn't white, don't you?

One can also make a good case for Adam and Eve being black.

Right. I'm going to have to go correct my former bio teacher. Seemed like it would be a subspecies rather than a race to me too, but...

Already did.

they can also make a good case that adam and eve never existed.

as to the question of course I would.

Would you engage in a relationship with someone of a different "race", possibly leading to marriage?
I have dated women of virtually every "race," and can honestly say that I would definitely have considered many of them as prospective mates. I try very hard to remind myself that "race" is a social construct and has neither a scientific basis, nor any basis in reality. Beauty lies within each human and has nothing whatsoever to do with myths such as "race."

Well, genus is more inclusive then a species so it'd be more wrong to call it a race then species...About your 2nd point, Are you saying homo sapiens is a race??

Subspecies isnt a race just because it is more exclusive than species...

Nope. As, Pride and Prejudice said, Homo sapiens is the binomial for the species. Homo sapiens sapiens is the proper trinomial for the race. And subspecies is exactly race by it's very definition - look it up in a taxonomy handbook...

Wouldn't a race be a fundamentally different humanoid, such as a neanderthal, or even one of Tolkien's elves or dwarves? Something of that sort. It would then move onto subraces.

Meh...non-conformists. Fine, I'll just refer to you collectively as Empire spawn then. :)

There was quite a debate over whether Neandethals were Homo neanderthalensis or Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, but it appears that, under current evidence, they are being classified as the former, a separate species.

True. But since the non-biblical explanations generally assume humans originated in Africa, the first humans most likely really did have a tan.
Not that you meant any harm by this, but you realize that by saying the bolded part there that you're assuming white skin is the default instead of the mutation, that being white is the original (and therefore, to many, the most pure). Funny how that can be so ingrained that we completely miss it, huh?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I fully agree.

But would you marry an orc? There have to be attractive orcs out there...

So essentially another race of humanoids, yet not a subrace of humans, I presume?

Nope, another species is another species, not another race. If they were Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, they'd be a race.

And allow a purely elven body to be tainted by orc scum? :eek: Why sir, that is madness!

Not to sound like a daddy's girl or anything but my dad told me I'm not allowed to date black guys because he's scared other people that don't even know me/the-guy will try to hurt me or the guy.

For you orcsies yes...dark elven women take what they want, by whip and flame...and then they tear out the victim's heart. :)

Not plausible. Pale women are the best.
*drools*
My sentiments exactly, but for men.

Oh I see...are there any other Homo sapiens then? I think there is a Homo Sapiens Floriensis, but I'm not sure.

As I said above, Homo sapiens idaltu is it as far as other races of Homo sapiens under current taxonomy (aside from the Neanderthal debate). Homo floresiensis is another species of human. (However there is a line of thinking that has suggested that Homo floresiensis is actually a microcephalic Homo sapiens sapiens.)

Yes I would, it's the two people that count, not their race.

yeah big deal its just the color of thier skin you inbred hicks need to relize that and quit with the racism and I defininatly would cause there are alot of hot blacks,mexicans,asians,and whites

I would have to think twice about marrying someone within my own ethnicity.

I'm fairly sure they don't, unless the fluff's gotten a major overhaul. I have female orc models & such (with huge saggy tits).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orc_%28Warhammer%29 According to this, they don't reproduce via conventional means...so...

And by the way, boobs are not reproductive organs, just in case you thought so. :p

I'd be so much happier if I knew what "microcephalic" meant.Small head.

More than you probably wanted to know:

What is Microcephaly?
Microcephaly is a medical condition in which the circumference of the head is smaller than normal because the brain has not developed properly or has stopped growing. Microcephaly can be present at birth or it may develop in the first few years of life. It is most often caused by genetic abnormalities that interfere with the growth of the cerebral cortex during the early months of fetal development. It is associated with Down’s syndrome, chromosomal syndromes, and neurometabolic syndromes. Babies may also be born with microcephaly if, during pregnancy, their mother abused drugs or alcohol, became infected with a cytomegalovirus, rubella (German measles), or varicella (chicken pox) virus, was exposed to certain toxic chemicals, or had untreated phenylketonuria (PKU). Babies born with microcephaly will have a smaller than normal head that will fail to grow as they progress through infancy. Depending on the severity of the accompanying syndrome, children with microcephaly may have mental retardation, delayed motor functions and speech, facial distortions, dwarfism or short stature, hyperactivity, seizures, difficulties with coordination and balance, and other brain or neurological abnormalities. Some children with microcephaly will have normal intelligence and a head that will grow bigger, but they will track below the normal growth curves for head circumference.

Hey, that's not nice. Although I'm not German.

I thought 'nice, big, daft, beersoaked, monsters' was a compliment...

Germans? :)True, true, but I was looking for alternatives to humans. I already am a big, daft, beersoaked human & my partner is fine specimen as well ;)

To summarise:
Orc + human = interracial marriage.

No! It wouldn't seem so...cute. :rolleyes:

Yup.

What? "Good" and "Christian"? "Bible" and "Christian"? "Bible" and "good"?

AH! Non specific! EVIL!

No. I am not attracted to non-whites.
Do u mean that u are racist, or u are just not attracted to non-whites? That sounds hella racist to me!

My sentiments exactly, but for men.
Meh. Slight matter of sexual preference...and probably gender as well. Funny thing is, I've not really known that many people who appreciate pale skin. I think it's just so damned sexy. I just don't understand people's obsession with tan skin.

I stated in very explicit terms that I am not attracted to them. If you see this as racism, well then clearly your powers of perception are lacking.

AH! Non specific! EVIL!Funny, I was just contemplating asking the same, but I realised it was likely a case of "all of the above".

Tell me about it! I absolutely adore pale skin. Tan is so passe, and not to mention unattractive. Too bad pale died with the Renaissance. :/

I'm too lazy today to read through the all those pages of posts... Has anyone suggested any nonHumans from Star Trek?

It might be fun to marry a Romulan. And nobody can beat Betazoid weddings...

This brings up a marginally related question: Do Romulans also undergo Ponn Farr, or is that just Vulcans?

Germans? :)
Yup, we sure are.;) And the Irish. We are too.:D

Do u mean that u are racist, or u are just not attracted to non-whites? That sounds hella racist to me!& u sund hella lam0rz 2 me...

Mate, where the hell do you get off on calling someone a racist for having certain preferences? Maybe you should take a look in the mirror & see if you can't make out who the intolerant git is.

Personally, I'm not turned on at all by Asians. Can't help it, and I'm sure as hell not gonna be faulted for it. What about you, TheSovietUnionOfMars? Do you get off on grandmothers? If not, why the hell not? Sounds like age-discrimination to me.

...

Yup, we sure are.;) And the Irish. We are too.:D
Innocent little me, I have mostly Dutch blood. And some Greek and Scottish. All I would do is peddle weed to kids. :)

AH! Non specific! EVIL!

"following the Bible"... "good Christian."

Mostly Irish, bit of German, less Scottish, and a teensy bit of Cherokee (prolly 'bout a sixteenth or less).

Why, thank you very much my fellow nice, big, daft, beersoaked monster! :)

Sanity is more important to me than skin colour or other ethnicity descriptor. (Mind, I'm not exactly operating with a full deck, either, so absolute sanity can be tossed out the window as well.)

Tell me about it! I absolutely adore pale skin. Tan is so passe, and not to mention unattractive. Too bad pale died with the Renaissance. :/

Come for a visit over here - there tend to be two extremes in Japan - the "super dark fake 'I want to be fried chicken'" tan and "oh my, honey-chile, the suns ray have set upon my lily white skin and I feel faint" pale. You'd enjoy the latter... :D

You clearly did not read my post. She just proved that being a geek is inherently cool. :cool:

Yeah, but I prefer pale skin. I don't make it a mandatory criterion. Just something that's more aesthetically pleasing to me.

Hmm...
M preference: Slightly tanned with dark-ish to dark brown hair.
F preference: Pale with not-white-blonde hair. Hair color depends on style, or possible the other way around....

While the people I have been attracted to have generally been pale skinned Europeans, I have no problem in principle with having a relationship or marrying any one of a different race.

If I liked them why the hell not?

Change that to M preference, and the hair to any shade of blonde. :)

If you mean as cultural style, yeah, pretty much declined in the early 18th century. Thank the gods for women who can't tan.:D

You're susspose to follow the New Testament. The Old Testament is for the Jews.

I don't tan. I stay inside all summer. I spend all week on the internet sitting by my electric fan.

Lets see I have dated a few asians and a girl from Hawaii...I didnt get much more that a " thumbs up " from most people . A few evil stares from idiots...but fuck'em .

I dated a girl from Oakland...a Black girl.....I had no trouble in her neighborhood...a few stares but nothing " threatening "
Then I went out to a malibu race track..I suddenly felt as if I grew two heads.. WTF...Do I have a booger hanging out of my nose ?
Then it got ugly...comments and out right challenges...after a while I decided on confrontation and beat the living shit out of two special tormentors...the police came and of course arrested me ...lets the idiots go on there way..no questions ..after all I was with a black girl ..so in their eyes I deserved it . On the way to the PD I was asked by one of the officers if I was out of my mind ..... I was released after a phone call to the owner of the company I was running and a few nice comments on what was about to happen to the Oakland PD ...this owner being from San Fran ..has a dim view on racism...I actually was driven back to my car....good thing it was a rental because it was burned to the ground...not a word from the cops ..they dropped me off and left . I found my way back to the hotel without incident ...I didnt get any ...but wtf...the girl was probibly in hiding anyway..

At any rate I grew up in South Philadelphia at a time when Italians did not mix with Irish or Jews or Blacks ..or any other race...no one mixed with ANYONE..the only " mixing " was when we were fighting our way through neigborhoods..I had the pleasure of being mixed Italian / German... with the added effect of looking German..and having a non Italian last name ... It was fun learning to survive..if a bit painfull at times..those ice cube baths after you have been beaten almost to death are a trip...nothing like having almost every organ in your body bruised..but hey I learned I grew larger and created a rep for taking no shit from no one and made it a point to taget the biggest and baddest threat and tear him a new one ..I was soon left alone .

Alone as in few friends...could'nt exactly hang out in the hood ...my buddies parents thought me too Americamn " ..their words for a non Italian .

So I started hanging out with anyone I felt like ..black ..peurto rican..Irish ..martian...hey I found the joy of diversity and judging people by the character they posses instead of nationality or skin color ...And I was sure to advertise the fact to all my more '''ummmm " close minded " breathren ..

On a side note My dad being German was never excepted by my Moms sicilian family...sunday dinners were a hoot . My brother who looked Italian was revered by the South philadelphia side of the family while I was an outcast..
it took me along time to figure out why they didnt like me ..or at times shunned me .

I truly think I got the best side of the bargain ...I have no predudice in me..except against assholes and racist..and admire diversity in all its forms .

And I married a nice petite insane Sicilian girl..a real brown eyed beuty..olive skin..just ...kills me .. 28 years later my son and daughter know nothing of racism or predudice ...I choose to live in a diverse neighborhood and work in the inner city among every race and creed...and feel extremely comfortable in any situation...except when I am among the few racist fuckers that still exist..then my inner devil rears its head and things can get interesting.


I cant imagine what my life would have been like if I had been born black .
I already thought I knew hell on earth . So I understand when some want to raise a little hell of their own .:D

I've seen pale Japanese women, but they didn't quite look as pale as I prefer. I'm talking snow-camoflage pale. Maybe I just didn't see the right ones.;)

If I loved someone, be they man, Woman, Coloured, Muslim or whatever, I would marry them.

:fluffle:

Meh, the problem is I am not turned on by Asian facial features.
Depends on the specific features for me. Northern Europeans tend to have a more exciting...body structure.

I dated a Chinese gal (I am White Canadian, of distant Irish and Scottish ancestry). I never had any problems with prejudice or any of that.

Personally, I find Asians and Middle Easterners to be more attractive than Whites most of the time, but I cannot picture myself ever not dating someone just because of ethnicity.

No, but only because inter-racial marriages are condemned in the Bible

Prove it. And prove to me that they actually don't condemn inter-religious marriages rather than interracial marriages.

Depends on the specific features for me. Northern Europeans tend to have a more exciting...body structure.

Define "exciting"...

Meh...I don't care at all. I do have a thing for Asian guys, though...

Those living in glass houses should not throw rocks. ;)
Actually, I live in a glass labyrinth inside a cave. Good luck finding the real me.:p

Yes! I shall now endeavor to prove that one too!
It's the same logic for a different conclusion, that's all.

For me it's the whole package...I only find whites attractive, and hot ones at that.

I'll just cause it to cave in. :) Although then there won't be much left of you to find anyway. :confused:

And for men who can't (I actively avoid it). ^^ Pretty much most Northern/Eastern Europeans. XD
By Northern Europe, I also mean the northern reaches of Eastern Europe, btw. So does that imply that you are male, or is that just ambiguous verbiage?

Wouldn't work. Damn thing's just too big. Sometimes I wonder how I ever get out of it. And please don't try it: that'd be one helluva mess and glass is expensive.:(

That would mean I would not marry a beast, cross-breed of leopard with feet like those of a bear and mouth like the mouth of a lion, with seven heads and ten horns and - on its horns - ten crowns and - on its heads - blasphemous names.

No f***ing way I would marry someone from a different race... :upyours: Who else would ever stand my horrible breath?

I've never dated anyone outside my race. It's nothing personal, I just haven't found anyone I liked in that sort of way who wasn't white.

I am very strong in my Christian faith. I have never found anything in the Bible forbidding interracial relationships. Even if such a thing were in there, it states rather clearly that the physical manifestations of the world are unimportant: "There is no such thing as Jew and Gentile" and so forth. Based on that, and on the understanding that God created all people equally, I have absolutely no qualms about pursuing extra-racial relationships and relationships with non-Christians. As I see it, if they are bound for an eternity of Hell I might as well show them a good time here on Earth.

Yep, I am of the male species, physically anyway.
Awright. Good to know it IS a matter of sexual preference though. Just to keep things in context. It's all good.
Doesn't mean I won't stop speaking in female-only terms, though.;)

May I ask you the same question (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11047178&postcount=15) as I did Europa Maxima then?


But if you were? One beautiful day, skipping out of your trailer, you see the most beautiful... eh, non-white you've ever seen, and her radiance put even the whitest of the white to shame... or something.

Then what?


Well...then she probably wouldnt be beautiful to me. I just tend to not find blacks or asians or arabs or indians good looking. There are always exceptions, but generally speaking, I just dont. There are hispanic women that I am attracted to, but more often than not, I'd rather date someone with a similar culture.

Awright. Good to know it IS a matter of sexual preference though. Just to keep things in context. It's all good.
Well, it's a thread ultimately based on attraction anyway. I wouldn't marry someone I found unattractive. Yes, I am that shallow. <.<

Makes you sad, does it? Well, give it time. I tend to be one of those people whom you can't seem to get rid of until you don't want to get rid of them. Then they disappear through no fault of their own, leaving all parties in a cloud of despair. Well, it's really not quite that bad, but it sounded good.;)

What do you mean by attraction? To me, it includes much more than the corporeal form: it's also a matter of intelligence, wit, humor, and a moderately fun spirit. I took a test once about to what women I am best suited. Results: curvy and naughty.:D
