i am slightly Asian but i identify as white (you would agree if you saw me) but let me just say how many half asian kids i now. and to validate the point let me point out i live on a navy base. once those filipinos, koreans, japanese latch there claws into you they dont let go.
and i think Asian babies are absolutely adorable.

Re: Black woman single cos the black men are in jail - would you marry outside your r
i dont expect that. imj just trying to find out why they feel like that, why they care and i do not. i seek understanding not conversion. i mean i can understand you want your kids to look like you, but like lemur said i think skincolour attributes some of the least to that. you can have your kid look exactly like you but only darker, or fairer. and i also believe there is alot of prejudice about interracial mixing and taboo also which has to be broken. sofar i think the only negative things i can think about interracial mixing is social more than biological.

Well skin colour is probably the main feature of a person's appearance, there is a very striking difference between a pale white person and a really dark black person. And it's not like its the only difference, black people do have different facial features etc.

Black is not another shade of white ya. We are all the same species but there are differences and we all have preferences, I am not attracted to Asian types for example but black women oh yummie they are gorgeous. Caucasian brunettes for the win though, drive me nuts Originally Posted by Rhyfelwyr

Just incase no one got the reference, it was Star Trek Enterprise, when they met the Andorians (Blue skinned people) and they called humans "pink skins". What made it even more amusing, when they met the "black" crew member, and he still called him a pinkskin, same with the Asian crewmember, etc. I think it goes to show that we aren't too different afterall.

There are certain visual illusions which are culture dependent--people from one culture (because of the way the buildings are constructed there) literally see it in a very different way than people from another culture do. Originally Posted by The Stranger

Re: Black woman single cos the black men are in jail - would you marry outside your r
no im not talking about attraction. i dont say that people can choose what or who they are attracted to. i dont think they can. im just trying to find out wether the reasons people give can hold. and im saying that those reasons shouldnt matter, all that should matter is are you attracted to this woman, are you in love with this woman and would you want children with her. why is not important.

I am not sure people are disposed to much of anything because of their skin colour. People are very much disposed to a good deal of things based on their genetic make-up, yes. Originally Posted by Strike For The South

What is funny, is that distinct ethnic sounds are most pronounced at an early age, then gradually dissappear. White and Black voices of eighty-year olds are much more alike than those of twenty-somethings. Male and female voices too lose much of their distinction with old age. -

Sorry Strike, I was so out of it yesterday I didn't feel up to writing an essay on cross-cultural influence. Slightly better today, so I'l take a small stab: Originally Posted by Strike For The South
Black culture has had a massive impact on American culture. I think that's pretty obvious and undebatable. Whether it's the improv ethos of jazz, the syncopated rhythm, the adoption of words and phrases, fashion, etcetera. You can debate whether all of this influence is a good or a bad thing, but what you can't say is that it hasn't happened.
So it's easy to look at black women straightening their hair and dying it lighter and say, "Look, they're imitating the whites!" But that's a seriously incomplete picture. Black culture and white culture influence each other all over the damn place.
If America hadn't had black culture, here's what the hip cats would be listening to on a Friday night:

Re: Black woman single cos the black men are in jail - would you marry outside your r
Do social factors have no validity? I agree that negative biological effects are of little significance (though there are some genetic disorders with racial correlations to consider), but our society has a huge effect on us, not just our biology. Negative social effects are just as real as negative biological effects. Furthermore, as many others have said, this is mostly a subconscious phenomena, rather than a matter of choice. You seem under the impression that those who say they would marry within their race are attracted to other races, but choose to limit themselves to their own race nonetheless for the sake of social mores. I don't think this is accurate. Originally Posted by The Stranger

Re: Black woman single cos the black men are in jail - would you marry outside your r
no they do have validity. they are the only reason i can think of why people should actually consider wether or not they will have an interracial marriage. Originally Posted by ajaxfetish
and about your second point. that is not what I am saying at all, it is what they are saying. im just trying to check wether the reasons they give are valid. all im saying that in case you are attracted to a woman, lets say the woman of your dreams, you should not not marry her for being of different race. i dont say people do. im just saying if.

Re: Black woman single cos the black men are in jail - would you marry outside your r
I'm pretty sure you are wrong on that point. Dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) are technically a subspecies of wolf (Canis lupus), but there is not that much difference. If you can keep the wolf from eating the chihuahua (or any other domesticated dog), a viable mating is possible. Hybrids are fairly common. Same with coyotes and domesticated dogs.
