Speaking of race, where do people draw the lines with races? Are whites and hispanics considered different races? Aren't most hispanics half or part white if not fully(Spanish)? What if you are half black? Didn't Native Americans migrate from Asia? Didn't Asians migrate from Africa? Aren't we all from Africa???.. I've read as little as 13,000 years ago, there were Europeans with black skin..
The word "race" is so irrelevant. It's a term that needs to disappear. We need to stop finding ways to separate ourselves from eachother.
I'm a euro mutt (Dutch, German, Polish, Chech). My girlfriend is Spanish, Colombian, Native American, Jewish, Dominican, Italian.. if we marry and have kids, what the hell will our kids be?

Amen!
I've been saying for years that we're all of mixed race so what's the point of classifying us by it?
Here's an example - If you lined up 100 people from the whitest white to the blackest black, at what point would you draw the line and have one group of whites and one group of blacks?
The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
Heck, 40-50 carefully selected snippets of crazy tea party supporters is enough to judge the characteristics of 100% of everyone that supports the platform .... 400 people is more then enough to validate the study!

The government considers Hispanics to be white. Your kids will be whatever they identify themselves, and also what other people identify them as. Race is irrelevant, but people make it relevant, so it is.
My belief is that a beautifull woman is beautifull regardless of age,religion or skincolor and if your happy with eachother you should be togheter,doesnt matter what other shortminded people say..
We are all gods children and created equal and must be treaded like that..
Racism sucks!
I agree appie. I know first hand the venom of racism. I am in an interracial marriage. We didn't pick each other based on our skin colour. We love each other's soul. No matter what race a person is, we all know what love is. We all long for love, so why not just give it first?
EVEN IF these 400 people somehow were an isolated sample of people, that is... the rest of the population had 0 people who believed that it should be illegal...

I don't see color and don't know any racists personally probably because they wouldn't be attracted to me,
our mindset too different.
I have lived in the Wisconsin for 35 years and here in Georgia for 20.
Racist people are everywhere ... each region of the country
and actually I feel WI was more segregated than here in GA.
A thought I hope for is with all the mixing of races how can prejudice even survive ....
everyone will be a little more like each other ... a lovely mixture.

Everyone came from Africa, it's the motherland. Of course Neanderthals did leave Africa for Europe rather quickly and then went extinct many thousands of years later, where is the Homo Sapiens evolved more staying in Africa building a society and evolving. Then moving out towards the rest of the world.
Just last week, I took 2nd place in a lemon meringue pie-eating race.
This week, I'm going to be in a three-legged, potato sack race - all proceeds benefit the American Society Seeking Honesty Of Legislative Electees (A.S.S.H.O.L.E. for short)
GO FOR GOLD! GO FOR GOLD!

Someone who is not against interracial marriage for others but would not consider it for themselves, does that mean they are prejudice in some sort? Or is it just a clean fair view? Can a clean fair view, or stance, can it still be prejudice?
I guess it would depend on what the reasoning behind it is,

I think a lot of racial minorities find the "I don't see color" thinking offensive because it denies a significant part of their experience.

Stereotyping - believing groups of people to all contain a simular trait.
Racism - The belief that your race is superior to all other races.
Stereotyping was bastardized in the politcally correct 90's. But it is a useful tool to serve as a starting point when meeting people who are completely foreign to you as long is it's a rational stereotype. Anthropologists have been doing this for years, except they call it "culture".
Smoke does come from fire (most of the time anyway, I don't want to stereotype).
Racism has little to do with stereotyping and everything to do with exclusiveness. If you don't have the right color of skin you can't be in their club. However, racism leads to irrational stereotypes.
Bottom line: Use your brain before you speak or judge and all will be ok.

I think a lot of racial minorities find the "I don't see color" thinking offensive because it denies a significant part of their experience.
I find us all to be human beings with our own individual life experiences,
that is what is important to me, this is what I mean about color.
We are not a color first we are human beings first, individuals.
I don't believe in grudges and hate...the negative...nothing good comes from that
only forgiveness and love .... the positive .... and building a future together from that.
A future where people are equal and not judged but can love each other regardless of race or religion.

Love starts with 2 people who care for eachother and thats the main thing...

I agree with both of you. It's about how one person feels about another, and that is what matters. I am shocked and disheartened by some of the things that I hear people say about the subject around where I live, and it makes life so unnecessarily more difficult for interracial couples. It's really a sad state of affairs in some segments of the population.

I have been stung by both types of ignorance. They both suck ass! When a person decidesto know me, they are always surprised to know I am a real person inside, not a shell that they can judge and categorize. I have trouble understanding why it was so hard to realize we are all the same. HUMAN.
You are absolutely spot on with the "Bottom Line", mookeywrench! :thumbup:
