Guys, would it make any diff if your girlfriend was part-black


This question is probably academic but I'll ask anyway. Guys, today in 2012, would it make any difference to you if your hot-babe white girlfriend suddenly told you that she was part-black? Maybe she'll say something like, 1/8th, or 1/16th, or, 1/32nd. Or maybe she might be, 1/4th. Would it make any difference to you? Speaking for myself, it wouldn't make any difference. Once you're in love, well, you're in love, right? Besides, if you've already been in bed with her, you already know it doesn't make any difference.

If it did make a difference, to whom in this country today would it make any difference? I wonder if there are still any self-proclaimed, blue-blood, snooty high-class families out there for which social image means more than human substance and this might make a difference if their sons tried to marry a white chick with afro background?

The difference would be zero point zero, ad infinitum.

Everyone's brown. Since our species has been on this planet for millions of years, it's time to accept it.
