Miscegenation

Postby New Ziedrich » Fri Oct 02, 2009 8:23 pm

Wikipedia defines it as such:

Miscegenation (Latin miscere "to mix" + genus "kind") is the mixing of different racial groups, that is, marrying, cohabiting, having sexual relations and having children with a partner from outside one's racially or ethnically defined group.


This thread is inspired by this post:

Glorious Freedonia wrote:There are a lot of people who disagree with the law but follow it because it is the law. Most people are law abiding across the whole range of viewpoints. I will illustrate this with an example from my own life. I am a landlord. I do not believe in misegenation. I also do not believe in having children outside of wedlock. I had a white woman apply for a tenancy. She had mulatto children (out of wedlock) and dated Black men. I totally disagreed with her family values. yet the law prohibits me from discriminating against prospective tenants on the basis of familial composition. I thought about this problem and I realized that although I hated her decisions and values, I love my country and I will follow the law. I rented her the apartment. I have since rented an apartment out to another mixed race couple.


So, let's open this up to discussion. Personally, I'm very accepting of this "racial mixing", but what about everyone else here?

But it could upset your family, friends and close surroundings and this could influence your relationship a lot.

That's doesn't mean it should be verboten.

I hear this often and find it fascinating. I seem to be one of the few white people who 1) doesn't find pale skin appealing (I don't want to see through you!), and 2) loves REALLY DARK skin.

I went black and did infact go back.

I don't really see a problem with race-mixing for other people but I don't think I'd want to have kids with any woman besides a white or mestizo. Black chicks and Asians are just not very attractive to me.

The chicks look too much like men too me. All squared off with androygenous faces and lacking in the T&A department to boot.

The possible racism of the others are not doing good for your relationship, isn't?

This problem can be easily solved by casting the offending racist individuals out of your life.

My racist family members have no bearing on my theoretical relationship.

My mom can hate my girlfriend or boyfriend. If she can give me good reasons (IE, she stole from our family, she's cheating on you and you don't know, etc) then it will carry weight. If it's "She's a darkie", then sorry mom, but fuck off.

Yes, it might create some tension. But honestly, if my family and friends are more concerned about my partners skin than my happiness, then I really have little desire to associate with them.

ditto, unless it's fairly clear ivory skin, which can be good as well.

a) you're hardly the only one. I find very few Asians attractive (there is a handful), and tend to not be into black girls, though, there are some that are absolutly slammin.
b) Those two sentences are unrelated..."I don't want my kid with them" and "I don't find them attractive". You don't have to...your kid does.

Skin color doesn't matter to me. I could date someone who's purple or green for all I care. What does matter is character. A complete jerk could go from 10 to 0 in three seconds just by talking.

If they're purple, I'd suggest giving them the heimlich. If they're green, I'd suggest wearing a full body condom at all times.

Well, sorry to disappoint you, but my family and friends are revolutionary in the fact that, well, they aren't racist.

Incredibly unusual, I know. :roll:
