I could be argued that miscegenation is ultimately genocide.

@onewithshoes Only if it's forced.

Ideally people should. You can potentially create genocide affects by people not dating their own very specific race.

So it would be ideal for numbers of every race to be high, in case of some catastrophic event.

However on a realistic level, people are going to go where they’re wanted. If someone is lonely and someone else comes along and pays attention to them. They will go where they feel love exists.

I don’t think people are too worried about what their future potential partner looks like physically in terms of race. People want to be loved more than anything. And the less love a person feels they have in their life, the less picky people become, and the more they branch out. Even if they believed in such idealisms.

I think we don't get to choose who we fall in love with it's a chemical thing. I'm ok with interracial marriages.

Is that uncommon in Guernsey? So, if a friend or a family member is in such a relationship, what kind of pressures would they be going through? It's kinda like ingroup bias in dating. It exists. So, I asked the question to the author. It's an academic question.

...but don't expect an answer from the author because he asks plenty of questions, but he doesn't typically participate in his own threads thereafter.

I suspect you really mean is it OK for white people to have relationships with non-white people.

The trouble being that "race" is a very fluid concept which is continually manipulated by populist politicians and other bad actors. In my family's recent history there have been numerous occasions on which our Celtic and East European roots would have placed us outside the majority social group.

But hey, I look white, so I could probably get away with it nowadays.

Love is love, who’s to judge?

Did you send out a DNA kit for analysis, and based on that you will only marry within your true race? They would need to qualify their genetic testing? To each their own.

There is one race, human, different nationalities. Different skin colors, that is 15+ cells thick. You remove the skin, we are all the same, either male or female and we all bleed red!

You don’t agree?
You make it sound like a bad soup!
What is there to think about it ? Up to them what to do and who with, as long as between adults.

When they love each other what’s wrong with it

If it's about preserving the white race, interracial relationships aren't really a threat. There are more white people alive today than at any other point in history, and interracial marriages are still pretty rare. The big threat to the white race is pollution.

Also, WMAF raceplay is hot.

@BohoBabe Interesting (yet odd to me) POVs. Thank you for sharing them. Russian/Syrian .. unique choice. A lot of Russians have Mongoloid, otherwise there's no way there could be any similarities. I believe you're discussing mixed people here in your comparisons. That means, I guess, that as long as the mix turns out into something that "looks" white to you... it's white. I've never seen a full Syrian that can look white or a full Russian that can look like a Syrian. Your POVs are at least conducive to the modern realm of extreme mixing though. It just all becomes by viewpoint or how someone sees something rather than what is really there.

Just one question for you then... if you see someone who looks white to you ... but they are not white, do you still push them to live as white or do you then change your mental categorization of them? That is ... would you still consider them white or no?
BohoBabe · M
@Magicianzini It depends what you mean by "push them to live as white." I might talk to them about why they do or don't identify as white, but I'm not gonna like demand they make life changes.
I would still consider them white because race is mostly about how you look. People who look white are going to be considered white, whether they like it or not. Now that doesn't mean people have to identity as white or black or whatever, that's a personal choice. But in a social context, you don't decide your race, society does.

I'm currently living in Germany and there are a lot of Russians, Ukrainians, Syrians, and Romanians here. They all speak German and it's impossible to tell the difference between them and ethnic Germans. To me, they're all white Germans, and I'm positive they'd all be considered white in America.
@BohoBabe Very unique... thank you for sharing your opinions.
don't care. I walk around with blinders on sticking to my own affairs.

Its up to the individuals

Of themselves, interracial relationships don't actually exist if you approach the situation with your eyes closed. What I mean is, with your eyes closed, you don't actually know what color the other person is who's holding you because all Races feel almost the same in the physical world.
