Interracial marriage in US doubles

[FairAndUnbiased]

Asian men with white women

Why are they either glasses wearing nerds, or heavily tattooed mafia types?

What other kinds of Asian men are there in America?

In my opinion it is best for the kids if the genetic distance between parents is neither too high nor too low. Cousin marriages lead to genetically defective kids, and interracial marriages don't give great results either.

Look, the reason I started this thread was to get PDF viewers to think about racism. Racism is inherent in the human character. All humans have racist feelings. It is a self-protective instinct. However, it is not good for fostering harmony among peoples. In the USA, we have been struggling with racisism for the entire existence of the post-native American society, i.e. since 1607. First, we struggled with anti-native American racism, then with anti-black racism, then with anti-Asian racism, and now with anti-Latino prejudice. However, since the civil rights movement in the 1960's, American society has been moving toward a condition of ever diminishing racism with each new generation of Americans. Our racial intermarriage statistics are a measure of that. I ask the non-Americans here to consider your own societies. How much racial intermarriage is acceptable in your society? Those of you who think that the USA is a racist society should ask yourselves if this is really true in the context of human nature on this planet. Of all the national cultures you have personal knowledge of, where is inter-racial acceptance the most developed?

In the U.K. Interracial marriage has Quadrupled... Naturally, you see this trend moving swifly in the West...

and interracial marriages don't give great results either.

Is there any scientific evidence to back up this assertion? I have never heard that inter-racial children under-perform "pure" racial children. Of course, the children of two high-performing parents, whatever their races may be, are the most likely to be high-performing as well.

All I know is that some women in China are called "international taxi" - anyone can get a ride for a small fee. This is including the poorest Africans and Southeast Asians, they do not discriminate . If this is any measure, then China is very low in racism.

If this is any measure, then China is very low in racism.

Well, if you think that your international taxi women are representative of PRC people as a whole, then perhaps you are correct. On the other hand, what is the attitude of the PRC population to inter-racial marriage? The point of this thread is that attitudes toward inter-racial marriage are more accurate measures of the racism inherent in a culture than is the willingness of taxi drivers to accept passengers of any race who will pay a good fare .....

I also think that the greater genetic distance between parents might bring a greater probability of children with exceptional mental acuity; that also includes races which are purely human social constructs.

Some Examples:

Aliya Sabur: World's Youngest Professor (Parents American and Iranian)
Steve Jobs: Apple Co-founder (Parents American and Syrian)
David Blaine: World Famous Illusionist (Parents Puerto Rican and Russian)
Larry Ellison: Oracle Co-founder (Parents Italian and Russian)

Paradoxically, Ashkenazi Jews are also endowed with an overall greater than average IQ but also have a prevalence of a greater than average frequency of genetic diseases among them. It's like different traits co-inheriting (linked) due to inter-marriages.

Why people here are showing white women as trophies?

 

[Desert Fox]

In general, Americans (especially white Americans) tend to have fewer moral inhibitions towards most things, be it sleeping around, making money through unproductive means, or just being plain selfish. Thus, while "nonexistent" is a bit of an exaggeration, it isn't completely false.

That is what capitalism does to moral/cultural values and ethics, and before someone jumps to conclusions, no i'm am not saying Muslim or eastern countries are any better when it comes to moral/cultural values and ethics, in fact the West excels (that is until now) in treating its citizens equally.

Unfortunately, if it were a white person posting images of black women in such manner or women of any other race besides white, he would be labeled a racist bigot, but when some Arab or any other person from another race posts derogatory images and remarks about white women/people no one labels him a racist.

 

[Cloakedvessel]

White women are gold diggers, so are majority of other women in the West, which is why White men are increasingly marrying Russia/Eastern European and East Asian women since they love the man for who he is rather than the depth of his pocket.

First remark is a bit of a generalization to say at least, second one does have little truth in it. Most white men import a Russian mail order bride or marry an East Asian woman, because they can't get a Western woman. A well educated, independent, assertive woman is way out of their league. Most of these lonely men who end up with Russian or an East Asian woman are ugly and old, and don't have the necessary social skills (shy). Most of these women however do not complain, because marrying a Western guy means financial improvement (even if the man is twice or three times older than her), and they well do make sure they are taken care of. Talk about gold diggers.

Dude, he got banned for it. Though I agree no one protested, but it was not because of not seeing the racism in the posts but because the thread had been initiated by an American and Americans by and large are seen as colonialists on this forum so even if they come up with something +, still people will be reluctant to respond to it in a + way. It is natural. When your country continuously bombs millions of people to death every decade, most of the world population are not going to accept any moral superiority from such people. The truth is, there is still more racism in US than let's say, in Pakistan, India or China. As for the rest, we have our own bigots, so let's not act like angels. But our bigotry comes mostly from lack of knowledge which is not unique to us. Even the guy who initiated this thread came out and said, racism is a natural instinct which is completely BS. There is no such natural instinct. We only like to mate with people who are like us, and color does not play a role in it though other physical attributes might. The fact is the farther you marry, the better your children are going to be. From a genetics point of view, on average we have six fatal genes in each one of us. The genes that can kill us since each encode for a serious genetical disease. The reason most of us are safe is because we get two copies of each gene, one from our father, the other from mother. The probability that both these genes are going to be the same is more if you marry in family and least when you marry some one from another race altogether from a far away land. So though it is a good thing to marry from other races but the cultural difference can be so huge that it might effect the life of yours as well as the children. So it is a double edge sword.
