Interracial marriage in US doubles

[500]

That's a fact. American society is racist, so the playing field is not level. Because of racism, black females and Asian males are at the bottom of the attractiveness scale.

Those who point out this racism are doing so because they oppose it, not because they support it.

If I am not attracted to black women I am a racist? Strange logic.

Let me put out a theory that is more general:

It has to do with precieved status.

In "My Barbaric Girlfriend" the girl DARES to be barbaric to her boyfriend, because she subconsciously knows that it is "acceptable" and the boyfriend will laugh it off. If her boyfriend was a white, she would not behave in such a wild way!

However, most girls would not be like that towards whites! Is this not fact? I read stories of this all the time. The Chinese girl is arrogant and condescending to any Chinese that dates her, but whenever she is in front of the whites, she is instantly meek as a kitten. This is seen all the time with whites too, the white woman who is really bit**y to the white men, would never even dare of talking like that to blacks.

The reason is because the media tells them that the "proper role" for them to play in such relationships (asian f white m, white f black m) is for them to be meek, but there is opposite portrayal of what they should behave like in same race relationships.

I have no evidence of this, but I believe this thoery is more simple and elegant than attributing it to any inherent preferences.

This means the interracial marriage is not natural as you can't even behave in the normal way with your husband/wife of another race.

So it is better to stick with your own race.

Yes. How is that strange logic?

I think he's talking about the negative stereotyping about certain groups of people.

Totally agree with you on this one. Otherwise life will become a bottle of formalities between the two.

Yes. How is that strange logic?

How is that racist? Just because someone does not find one race attractive does not mean he or she is a racist. It's about personal preference.

Then there's no such thing as de facto racism, since anything can come down to personal preference.

East Asian countries don't have a lot of interracial relationships because these countries are more homogeneous.

Why? The US started out as a homogeneous society with blacks and Chinese in inferior status. But the US changed. We have one criteria set by one person in this discussion to determine whether a society is racist or not: Interracial relationships.

For him, it may be one out of many but it is the primacy. So primary that he is willing to let that criteria overwhelm other criteria like business and politics. So if what is good for goose is good for the gander, as the Americans say, the same criteria must be applied to other countries as well, such as China, Japan and Korea. For China for now, the Chinese insist on being a homogeneous society -- INSIST. That alone prevent other criteria from taking place: personal interracial relationships, business interracial relationships, political interracial relationships. So this mean China is a racist society. Remember, am going by the standard set by one of your suck-ups.

just a question: why do you think Obama is black? he is equally white as he is black.

It is a term of visual convenience. America is still largely a 'white' country in the sense that the US is still dominantly of European racial stock. But if you look at the voting blocs that elected Obama, then Obama is quite American, neither black nor white.

Then why do Asian American men statistically have a 15% lower rate of interracial dating, and native Asians also have this 15% lower rate of interracial dating, vs. Asian/Asian American women?

There are many explanations about this but they do not stand up to scrutiny.

Do you not think this is a form of discrimination based on race?

By these questions, you agree with one of your suck-ups that the BEST indicator of racial tolerance is personal interracial relationships, not business- or political- ? We need clarity on this.

I am making no judgment one way or another. I am asking a very simple yes or no question that you are thinking too much on.

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

Yep, most people simply can't cross over that barrier, so many of the interracial couples have been ended up in divorce.

I think the marriage is very sacred, if you want to have an healthy long term marriage, then the interracial one is not a good choice for you.

You already have but are too chickensh!t to admit it. The American society reflects that statistics and the only way to reverse that trends is for the US to be like racist China to limit:

- The amount of immigration,
- Interracial relationships of all types,
- US citizenship to only European immigrants.

And eventually the US will be a 'white' country, just like how China is a 'Chinese' country, or Japan is a 'Japanese' country.

So actually, YOU should be rooting for such a United States since you support China's racist policies. If what is good for the goose is good for the gander, then what racist policies are good for China should be good for the US as well, right?

Racists of the world...Unite...!!!

Why do you keep saying that? I have no clue how racist China is, as I've never been there and haven't read many articles on the existence or nonexistence of racism in China. The topic of this thread is interracial marriage in the US, which is what I'm commenting on. Why do you keep trying to go off topic about China?

Immigration policy depends on the resources and populations of a country. Most Asian countries just have too much population, as China enforces one child policy to reduce its own population, it totally doesn't make any sense to have a large number of immigration. This is very different from countries that have robbed lands like Canada, US and Australia and certainly has nothing to do with racism. In addition, this is just a recent phenomenon as historically Chinese dynasties always encourage immigration and that's the reason they are so many Arab/Persian/Jewish decedents in China.

And the initial article is talking about Asians as a whole, I am just amazed that you could always relate any topic to China bashing. Too much hatred is not good to your health.
