I guess I don't see why they're automatically "great."
They're no different than any other relationship.
Maybe it's a different scene in Germany. I imagine it's different in most all countries. I know when I've traveled with a woman of a different race the "looks" come in some places but not others. SO bizarre getting looks over something you don't think twice about though. Well, we'll ALL be blended in to one human race eventually. Kind of wish I'd be around to see that.

@Fairy: But that is where I disagree with you Fairy. Why can't something good be a standalone thing? Why does it have to mean that this good is happening only because something was bad before?
I mean why can't a community be perfect already and yet the point that is being made is Diversity is good. It doesn't mean anything was bad with it before, but diversity is only giving it added dimensions. See it is minor view point, but you have to be willing to accept that something good doesn't mean the existing status quo is bad. Why do you see it 'colour' injection!? Why can't you see it as "more options" ?

@faerylight - And now you're hurling insults at me? A person you don't know? Remember that 'lady doth protest too much" line?
Learn it. Live it.

I don't think you're a right wing nationalist. What I think is that you've lived your whole life in an all, or almost all white society, have never had any kind of meaningful relationship with a person of another color and identify very closely with your own race. It matters to you. I mean, why else would you respond the way you did with your initial comment? You felt it necessary to defend the white race. That just doesn't compute with me.

I'm done now. I don't like people who get so defensive they think it's ok to spew insults. That's child's play. I'm a grown man.

@Sal: Great point! And that really is the tragedy isn't it ? The fact that diversity seems to be needed to be supported and egged on instead of it being a normal affair. I guess it speaks to the state of affairs "before" vs the state of affairs now. Things are improving and hopefully the world you describe in becomes a reality soon. Fingers crossed. :)

I feel like having one too. For a thrill! Lol

@belly. I hear you. That's why I love this phrase so much. "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." There's usually a reason behind people's positions. And when it comes to race, I've typically seen a lack of exposure as the biggest reason for strong stances on the issue.

There is nothing wrong with white that needs to be "cured" by diversity

@Sal and for the record you will never live in a truly blended world

At best you'll live in a part of the world that is that way

I guess from a centric view its all the same to you

That is sooooo good to see ! Diversity is always a good thing! :)

Meanwhile I fear America is going backwards. :(

Me, too. People are free to choose who to love and that is why there are different races in this world. I have seen so many successful interracial couples in a dating site which focuses on Interracial Dating Services. Most of these couples married now and have cute Interracial Babies.

I say date whoever you want. None of my business.

@Sal: Even I did not call her a racist. I only said she would be one if she thought Diversity was bad. She got all defensive over no reason.

@Salparadise I have an 'ethnically diverse' family in a multicultural country

If people flinch at me calling out a racist comment -and view it as racist purely because of the skin colour involved - then I suggest they have the problem

Oh fuck off with the racism card -are you not grown up enough to have a conversation?

"It's good to get some colour in these white countries"

That is racism right there

Anyone trying to get 'colour' into black or brown countries?

I agree diversity is a great thing but it is a fine line before it becomes racism

And I think the opening poster crosses it

@Faerylight: Haha there you go being all defensive again. You curse me and call me not grown up ? ;) Oh the irony!

You clearly have issues comprehending the fact that more diversity DOES NOT imply anything is wrong with the existing status quo. You being defensive about it, now that is the fine line you are crossing lady. Get off your high horse and see that the OP only said she was happy to see more diversity. She did not say Germany was bad before. Learn to comprehend, not just read.

@Sal: Perfectly agree! You hit the nail on the head. Lack of travel / Exposure often leads to these bottled up views of anything that seems to change the current status quo. The feeling of being "threatened".

The whole 'she protests to much ' and 'you must be a racist' is again hyper aggressive

Where you are attacking my credibility and thinking it is ok to do so because we've become so intolerant

@Faerylight. Sorry. I don't believe you. I'd be super curious to know where you live but I guess it really doesn't matter. A lot of paths up the mountain, right?

@Faerylight - I didn't necessarily see your comment as being racist. Although I understand why others might. But I will go out on a limb and say that you live somewhere with very few, to no, non-white people. I'm right, aren't I?

@Faerylight. You answered my question with your response. All white. NOTHING wrong with that. But it is what it is.

@bellybutton I think we agree

I interpreted "good to get some colour into these white countries" as crossing the border into racism

You didn't

That's ok :-)

No bellybutton you are so indoctrinated you can't even see the racism in her point

It clearly mirrors past racist policies where an injection of "whiteness" would help cure problems with "black"


All communities are perfectly fine -regardless of their racial composition

We don't need to "get some colour" into any community

@Faerylight: Nobody said anything is wrong with white. And nobody said this is the cure to anything. All that was said was diversity is a good thing. If you can't agree with that, you are obviously a racist. Why so defensive ?

@Fairy: The only point is this:
You even considering that the OP made a racist point is what makes you racist. All she said was "Diversity is good". If you can't agree to that, then go figure.

@Sal if you're a grown man act like one rather than a self congratulatory play ground bully

@Sal well then aren't you arrogant? All because you have a non-white girlfriend? All diversity ends there does it? You're the apex of opinion on the matter and its fine to be racist as long as it is white people in the lens

I must be a right wing nationalist

I think it's great that two people can get together and not be shunned because one happened to be born purple and the other born green.
WTF!

@Sal you arrogant hypocrite

You insulted me and made assumptions about someone you don't know

You've even called me a liar


You learn a little more about life

Learn to think

You've revealed yourself

I defended white people

That's my "crime"
