In what universe are interracial marriage and homosexuality in the same category? I understand why people get upset about homosexuality. The Bible calls it a sin. But interracial marriage? Is there some passage in the Bible prohibiting interracial marriage that I'm not aware of?

Get off the La-Z-Boy once in a while and travel to a big city on one of the coasts and you’ll see what’s up.

You say this, but the OT averages about 3 tranny current events threads per day. The OT cares very much about the latest developments in tranny news and culture.


I seriously don’t understand why. There’s one poster here who’s started no less than a dozen threads about trans issues. The infatuation is bizarre.

For those that have been around for a while, you'll remember about 5 years or so ago that there'd be weekly threads making fun of minority groups for getting butthurt over lack of representation in media.

The common thought around here was that no normal person would ever get upset about the race, gender or orientation of a fictional character in a show/movie and you'd have to be straight up nuts to even notice the race etc of people in commercials.


My how times have changed.

What's wrong with interracial marriage?

I'm a white guy married to a black woman and in our 15+ years I've never experienced any negativity from anyone about our marriage...until this bizarre thread with people saying interracial marriage is not normal.

Ok. Explain the objectionable thing being "shoved down your throat" in the still shot of what I think is a science fiction movie.

watchout, I got called out for pointing out that there are a few middle aged white guys on this site that regularly turn into the 'outraged snowflakes' they like to say they hate

It is indeed a strange social/media phenomena.

Interracial marriages for instance make up only 10% of all marriages and that includes all races, not just black and white.


Gays make up maybe 2.5% of the population and trannies are so small in number, they're statistically insignificant.

To watch movies and tv shows however, you would think these 3 groups together make up half the population.

There's a reason for this media fabrication, I just don't know what it is.

One of those things is not like the other.

Also, that 10% figure includes Baby Boomers. In 2010, about 15% of marriages were interracial and that figure has been climbing for decades. Eventually it will be greater than the 20% of Americans who believe interracial marriage is "morally wrong".

That's pretty much the same situation as my wife and I. You must not venture over to the Poli or OT boards often. They melt about interracial couples in tv and/or commercials at least once a week.

Explain hollywood shoving representation of an oppressed class into a film/tv? I thought that is what you asked for?

A lady with purple hair is gay now? Because I don't remember any sexual references about her character in that movie.

so then what's the harm in showing interracial relationships to children if it's not wrong?


Nothing, if you plan on allowing television commercials to teach your kids about the world around them. The reality will come later in their lives.
