I wouldn't give a shite as long as they had good character.

OK, but for all of you saying this, is it really a cover? Are you too scared to admit that you may have a preference if given a choice between to otherwise equal persons?

I think a lot of people forget about this. There are cultural differences that go beyond socioeconomic class.

What were the main differences you noticed?

You know that even admitting a preference is a cardinal sin in today's society, MJ.

For me: Jew.

A former roommate was a half Jew and he never wanted to watch anything besides Jew movies on Netflix. I don't want to watch Jew movies with my grand kids so I take resentment to this one

Plus I've pretty much seen them all already

It's very acceptable now.


It's no where near a majority. Not even a plurality.

These are the same people that ague that discrimination no longer exists.

Interracial dating is absolutely accepted by the majority.

Encouraging your offspring to do it is another story I admit, but as far as general public strangers, I firmly believe a majority of people don't give a shite.

But why? Serious question.

I don't understand being hung up over it if the guy isn't trash.

I was referring to marriage rates, but you bring up an interesting point. Despite what people are willing to say, if you look at the actual practice rates, you'd find some interesting data points.

I would be disappointed to say the least. I would prefer my grand kids to look like myself and their ancestors..

Accepted and/or tolerated but I would imagine that lots of people have a preference that their kids date/marry the same race.

Let's just say that it wasn't her so much as it was her extended family that would have ended up becoming an issue eventually.

No problem with it.

I would much rather my daughters bring home an educated well brought up person with a good future no matter their race than someone with no future just because they're white.

Yes, yes, yes. We get that. This type of statement has become pretty trite now.

If my daughter brings home Jerome from around the corner, I'll bury them both in the swamp.

If my daughter brings home a respectful young guy like fournette and he has a job, well then welcome aboard.

Her mom is biracial anyways. I dip my pen in all the ink.


ETA: I can admit I would prefer he is white, but as long as he isn't a bum or a muslim, I really don't give a shite.
