To be honest, I’m a black woman who’s dated and been attracted to Caucasian guys my whole life (other ethnicities too). Growing up it was weird for me that interracial relationships were never portrayed. If they were it was usually pretty dark (Monsters ball or some movie set in the old South). The guy who plays the lead in this movie I’ve always had a bit of a crush on and never thought I’d see that. It was weird for me that they finally showed a loving interracial relationship with a nice pretty African American girl and a nice handsome Caucasian guy. Actually their relationship looked a lot like my first one. Happy, light-hearted, and free from any worries about “race” or ethnicity. We just liked each other. I like dating someone that doesn’t look like they could be a relative. That feels natural for me, but some people prefer to date people that look just like them. That’s kind of weird to me, but to each their own. Typically interracial relationships are more rooted in love and fondness for one another than what other people think, so when they work it’s typically true love. Picture Iman and David Bowie. Not sure how it’s abnormal to be attracted to different “races”. What was abnormal is for years all the movies portrayed “pre approved” color coded couples. I find it interesting you’re either training your child that somehow being attracted to other colors is abnormal or your child has a inherent sense of racial separatism which stems from somewhere. In theory God also put the ability to be attracted to humans with different pigments and features in us as well. If you set a mansion on fire and then expect the former inhabitants to build it back with few tools yeah it’s not going to be what it was. Before South Africa was named South Africa and the Dutch it was a beautiful country ripe with resources and healthy people. Yes Europeans, particularly the Dutch, in this case, wreaked havoc on South Africa after basically putting it in a state of war. The indigenous are now trying to rebuild while taking fractions of the existing government in place and still dealing with the wreckage and inequality caused by the colonization and destruction. It’s going to take time. What you’re doing is basically saying “see the virgin is a harlot, after you’re done soiling her during an invasion”. Less than 10% of interracial for Caucasians, but not other ethnic groups. I guess the point you’re making is you think there are too many Black people in movies. However the number of Black actors is close to the proportional number of Black actors auditioning and same for Caucasian. The lady who plays in Sonic is married to a Caucasian guy in real life and has biracial children. I don’t think it would be fair to tell her she can’t audition because they feel she is over represented. Sonic is one of the few movies I’ve ever seen that has a Black woman with a Caucasian man. I can only think of 5 out of a thousands of movies or so. Interesting. Have some questions for you: 1. What if it’s a relatively unattractive interracial couple and they produce someone stunningly beautiful like Zendeya or Persia White? 2. What if it’s an interracial couple that just really enjoys each other’s company, but don’t plan on producing children, is that still forbidden by your standard? 3. What if it’s an interracial couple that had no plans on having children until they met, but now want to have children? *In theory they’re adding an existing child to the population but not replacing a child of their ethnicity. 4. What if it’s a biracial child, but has Eurocentric features, such as Jennifer Beals or Pete Wentz, who are both biracial. You said so many things that are inaccurate I can’t cover it all here, but no, slavery in Rome was not based on skin pigment, that didn’t start until around the 1600s. There were amazing civilizations and dynasties all over Africa including Senegal and Ghana dating back over 10,000 years. In addition, if every single Caucasian person had children with only non-Caucasian, light skin pigment would not disappear as it is a trait that can be reproduced by those with darker pigment. There are insane amounts of variation in Western African hair types and facial features. The version you’re describing is based on an1800s stereotypical cartoon used to promote your type of ideology post slavery in the United States. People should go out with who they’re attracted to and get along with well. Worrying about the extinction of those who appear Caucasian is a waste of time. Based on their phenotype Caucasians are the least likely to go extinct out of any group because their physical characteristics can be passed down by those of African descent. The same does not go for Africans. Caucasians have expanded in population worldwide, while Americans of African descent have gone from 14% to 12% in under 10 years. If you guys are trying to extinct us you’re doing a good job. View all replies >
