I've been preaching this all my life, and everybody agreed with me until about 10 years ago when all of the sudden, the young generation, and liberals, brainwashed, seemed to think being against interracial marriage was bigoted. It is not. It saves you a world of problems. Where I live, in a very conservative area of the Deep South, most white people won't even send their children to school with black children, it's private school or home school, and many black parents want black teacher for their kids.

White nationalists have not made it any better either. Many of them claim that their racial group is like their family and yet they despise mixed race people almost as much as they do the Jews. If they truly believed in family, then they would accept mixed race people as one of their own since many of us are at least partially white.
White men were expressing dominance over women... how is it you feel this must be more strongly felt by men? As well , if a bike can feel their mother betrayed their mind to be wjth their white father why would this be felt any more strongly by boys than girls.
Separate from all the stuff against ‘mixing’ which I don’t agree with bc there’s no pure race, we really don’t need race and it’s the perpetuation if the belief of need for race that causes people to feel alienated ( you can have culture without race) I’m curious as to why you assume women can only only feel bad by not feeling pretty? As appsed to the historical scars of subjugation violence dominance oppression etc. why would that be felt more by boys esp when it was women being raped
And to be clear I’m not negating the fact you feel alienate and I can understand that but I don’t think striving for purity ever solved anything. Cultural heritage is cultural not skin deep.
Because men's brains are wired differently and their cultural upbringing is different than that of women, whether you want to admit it or not. Why is it that women feel standards of beauty more strongly than men feel them? Because mentally and culturally women value their physical appearance more than men. Men are supposed to be the protectors over women. Men are supposed to be the warriors. Seeing your women with the enemy makes you feel emasculated.
This is so wrong and disgusting on so many levels.
So if I fall in love with someone outside of my race, then marry them, I cannot have kids with them?
Because I’m “betraying” my own race. Fuck that. And fuck the whole concept of race. If I’m in love with someone, and want to be with them and start a family, I will.
Most of my closest friends are mixed race, they don’t give a shit about their race. In fact, we never even speak about it. Because IT IS NOT IMPORTANT.

It does mean that she still isn’t hurting on the inside or that she has not gone through an identity crisis at one point or another in her life. We simply don’t talk about it because for one, w do not want to feel like a burden on others, and two, because these feelings are extremely taboo and politically incorrect, going against the entire mainstream narrative. How often do gay people, for example, express their pain and frustrations? Yet we know it is still there.
We all know why its apparently a great thing, but someone who actually lives the life and wants to let people know is giving us the cons of mixed-race, something not a lot of people want to talk about, and it doesn't count? How much experience do you have as someone who is mixed race? I'd take the writer's word about what it is like over whatever you say.
I understand we come at this from different perspectives and with different life experiences, but I'm also a light-skinned Hispanic (Puerto Rican father and German mother) and never had identity problems (I see myself as both white and Hispanic). I've also had a lot of interracial relationships and friendships.
Coming from a mixed background can make you more comfortable in dealing with people from different backgrounds than you because you are used to different interactions with the two different sides of your family. For example, mixed race Black/White or White/Asian people I have known were very comfortable with both races even though they usually only dated one.

Your post was actually a breadth of fresh air. I have a lot of respect for the Puerto Rican people and their culture. Big Pun, Fat Joe, and Jennifer Lopez played a large role in my life growing up. I suppose that is one good point that we have an easier time getting along with all different backgrounds of people. Even so, I just want to possess that feeling of belonging - to know that I too have my own group.
Im white. Im about 6 different white cultures. I practice nor identify with any of them. Whats the big deal about not having a culture? Most white people dont have culture and you dont hear any of us bitching and moaning like little girls. If you were the only brown person i ever met id be hella racist after meeting a racist irresponsible loser like you. Luckily i know plenty of other race and mixed people who dont gaf about their skin color and are grown people and not little babies who whack off thinking about their brown moms betraying their race to their dads. Wtf. You are a freaking sicko.
Exactly. The same pathetic bigoted white anons thinking they're clever. I love how he's offering to show a pic of some random "brown" (another dead giveaway) woman he found online.
@JustWorthlessMe Nice job dismissing a colored person who does not fit your preconception of how we should behave. I don’t have to prove anything to you. My post is anonymous for obvious reasons because I would be in deep shit if this came out regardless of what color I am.
@JustWorthlessMe He is not mixed, he is in fact white. I can tell this by the details of his take stating some unusual concerns for a mixed person. It is also too in depth, almost like a well thought out article from some studies that was conducted to prove why mixed racing is bad. A lot of what he said, mixed people do not think of and wouldn't say. I am black and could pass for biracial, I look even more mixed than some of them so I know what struggles you could face as a result of that. However this guy is just too dramatic, I can definitely tell he's a white man.
Elliot Rodger felt the same way and he was mixed. A white person would not condemn white male colored female pairings as the worst combination. White guys are always trying to justify their fetishization of colored women as being okay. I condemned that in my article and actually defended colored male white female pairings as less harmful. No white guy would do that.
well I actually am biracial and know the only "brown" thing about him is that he's full of crap. I LOVE that his excuse for not proving us wrong is that I would dox him... so pathetic

This is how it has been since the beginning of time and with few exceptions this is how it will always be. Religion is one of the few exceptions. The Roman Catholic Church adopts an Empire approach wherein all people are citizens of the same Empire. Islam has a similar culture. But unless you are lucky enough to be born under one of those religions, then it does not apply to you. Again, I was not raised Catholic. Brown people will always see me as not truly being one of their own while white people will always view me as too impure to ever really belong to them.
@esotericstory "Ethnic and cultural identity are our destiny."
Until someone reads something that upsets them, lol. Like if I drop the bomb that all Europeans alive today have large swathes of Middle Eastern ancestry in their DNA. Anywhere from 30 - 80%, depending on the region.
But that destiny doesn't get explored, because it makes the white majority nervous/defensive.
Ethnic and cultural identity are only praised to the extent that they fit existing beliefs. The minute the facts say something unsavory, they get discarded.
My mother is Syrian and father is white and my step grandmother is Latina and i love being mixed i have grown up with three culture and i have friends of many different background my mixed blood make me Good looking i have my father blonde hair and mom eyes shape dad nose moms fulls lips etc and i can tanned unlike my father and i have curves unlike most white girl my mixed heritage make me unique and intresting.
I notice that every Hispanic I know who goes on about how proud they are to be Hispanic date white people. My manager who's girl is Dominican is what some would call a self hating Hispanic. I think people who are too proud have some shame/insecurity to hide. My manager just wants his people to do better; culture wise. I'm what some would call a self hating black. I think those who hate whites the most and are apart of black lives matter would date a white person with not a moment to spare. I personally am not attracted to white women. The point I'm trying to make is that you're right that it feels odd that one of your parents is attracted to the other out of insecurity. My mom is light skinned black but she's still black so I could care less if my dark dad was attracted to her out of insecurity but if she were white I'd feel some type of way.
"My mom is light skinned black but she's still black so I could care less if my dark dad was attracted to her out of insecurity but if she were white I'd feel some type of way." man, c'mon how does that make any sense? if he is attracted to lightness because he thinks darkness (his included) is bad, then it doesn't matter if he's trying to erase his insecurities with a fair black (or mixed race) woman or a white woman. It's still sad. super sad
It only matters If the individual allows the small mindedness of others to That dictate what is mixed raced. There is not one person out there that is pure one Heritage , we all are mixed in some way so it’s impossible for two people not too have crossing heritages. I think this is probably more to do with colour once again , we all bleed and we all live and eventually die the same way , colour or Heritage shouldn’t really come into it but it often does even different mixed groups can’t accept the other group and often people grow up being ashamed of thier culture or back ground because of how thier we treated by thier Peers at school and then later on.

This is a common argument but it really needs to be dispelled for the same reason that it does in regards to bullying, homosexuality, inceldom, or any other burden. While our mindset certainly does play a large role in determining our happiness, the point still stands that people genuinely want to feel loved and accepted for who they are. Constantly being met with hostility and/or never fully being accepted does wear a person down over time even if their mindset is strong.
Speak for yourself! I'm happy being mixed race, I get the best of many worlds.
Also, Elliot Rodger's lunacy has very little to do with being half Asian and half Caucasian. I can't believe you actually used him as an example.. wow.
"Also, Elliot Rodger's lunacy has very little to do with being half Asian and half Caucasian"
Eh, I wouldn't completely agree with that. The fact of the matter is that there's a portion of women who will date a guy simply for being white.
That means that there's gonna be a lot of white guys who otherwise wouldn't have reproduced, who will be able to get with women outside of their race (in this case Asian women). The stereotype of the sex tourist in Thailand exists for a reason.
So it stands to reason then, that the children of such pairings are going to be more fucked up than average. Not because the pairing is inherently wrong, but because the social circumstances self-select for more broken, maladaptive personality traits, which the child will inherit.
@Omega_brie Desperate men go to a poor country to have sex with desperate (poor) women-that has nothing to do with dating... that has everything to do with money. The mail order bride/trophy wife's number one concern is typically money, not how white a guy is. Though the stereotype of white men having more power and money would help a white man.
Elliot had major mental issues and his parents failed him and he also failed himself, by focusing on the physical and reducing women to vaginas (that he somehow deserved access to) again, very his fall into complete craziness had very little to do with his ethnicity.
Some people will give others a chance, just bc of their ethnicity. But I would argue white women benefit from this equally so.

@Omega_brie "The average Black woman still has more of an upper hand in the dating pool than the average white man." What is the upper hand you speak of? Getting replies or getting attention, because black women seem to have it quite hard in the dating world, especially online. theblog.okcupid.com/race-and-attraction-2009-2014-107dcbb4f060
Here is the reply rate chart for male senders: Here is the reply rate for female senders;
White males have a 29.2% reply rate on average. Black females have a 34.3% reply rate on average. So no, white women do not really benefit "equally" from this, white males are the ones who benefit more.
Whites of both genders benefit, but it's like giving food stamps to someone who's poor vs. someone who's rich: they technically benefit the same in raw terms, but it's really the poor person who's benefitting more because the rich had no need for that benefit.
Reply rates to males are so much lower to begin with that even the most preferred males are still less preferred than the least preferred women.
If your identity is solemnly based on what “race“ you are, than you are without doubt the biggest racist I have ever seen, on this site and in real life.
i have literally no problems with mixed race marriages, i dont care as long as my man treat me right, he could be a cute Scandinavian like @PrettyRegular *cough cough* ;) or an African American or even an Asian boy. i couldnt give a shit, infact im open to learning about their culture :)
If you make your genes an issue so then you always feel suffocated in life.
As for some of the mixed race off springs who get confused and have depression that can lead to psychotic breakdowns or suicides. - that's the fault of bad parenting and their own poor ego based preconceptions. There was already something wrong with them unfortunately or they were just born unlucky. The stars did not align for them.
I am mixed race and I almost never experience racism, okay sometimes from white people but that is not because they see me as mixed but because they see me as African. But i feel like most view it positively. I agree with a few things, like identity crisis. But the parents can do a lot by letting the kids know their heritage and be proud of it. I know I am proud of mine. So there is also many things on this article i fisagree with.

I do think that as a whole mixed race black people have it slightly easier. From what I understand, the black community tends to operate off of a "one drop rule" meaning that if you are partially black, your kind will accept you as full black no matter what. Granted, the identity crisis does still occur, but I think that you have a little bit more options than other mixed race children do.
I'm sure there's some truth in what you're saying. An interracial person will be seen by a lot of people as an 'outsider', but on the other hand, there have been some interracial people who have conquered all those obstacles. People think of President Obama as 'black', but he's actually half white. Michelle Branch is part Indonesian, but that never stopped her.
I’m so sorry you are battling mental disease and hope you can seek help. Through intensive therapy, medication and education you CAN bring normalcy to your life. GOOD LUCK.
Come on, this is pure politics. Things like 'nobody trusts mixed race people' or 'white father black mother equals epic fail' are sophisms, and politically incorrect ones... I wonder how many people here want to find new sources of anxiety. The U. S., the U. K. and Sweden, for instance, have special policies to fight this interracial marriage bias.
nah... you make good points.. but the underlying assumption is that trying to fit in is the best thing... I come from a long line of racially ambiguous folks... only thing I get tired of hearing is "What are you?" Otherwise... my kids are fine, I'm fine... my family is fine, my husband's family is fine... Carry on... and thanks for the opinion

Maybe the issue isn't that they're mixed, but that some nations OBSESS over the concept of ethnicity-based identity.

i have literally no problems with mixed race marriages, i dont care as long as my man treat me right, he could be a cute Scandinavian like @PrettyRegular *cough cough* ;) or an African American or even an Asian boy. i couldnt give a shit, infact im open to learning about their culture :)
If you make your genes an issue so then you always feel suffocated in life.
As for some of the mixed race off springs who get confused and have depression that can lead to psychotic breakdowns or suicides. - that's the fault of bad parenting and their own poor ego based preconceptions. There was already something wrong with them unfortunately or they were just born unlucky. The stars did not align for them.
I am mixed race and I almost never experience racism, okay sometimes from white people but that is not because they see me as mixed but because they see me as African. But i feel like most view it positively. I agree with a few things, like identity crisis. But the parents can do a lot by letting the kids know their heritage and be proud of it. I know I am proud of mine. So there is also many things on this article i fisagree with.
I do think that as a whole mixed race black people have it slightly easier. From what I understand, the black community tends to operate off of a "one drop rule" meaning that if you are partially black, your kind will accept you as full black no matter what. Granted, the identity crisis does still occur, but I think that you have a little bit more options than other mixed race children do.
Yeah that’s true, I don’t know. I think the one drop rule isn’t that more of sn American thing? I live in Europe.
I'm sure there's some truth in what you're saying. An interracial person will be seen by a lot of people as an 'outsider', but on the other hand, there have been some interracial people who have conquered all those obstacles. People think of President Obama as 'black', but he's actually half white. Michelle Branch is part Indonesian, but that never stopped her.
I’m so sorry you are battling mental disease and hope you can seek help. Through intensive therapy, medication and education you CAN bring normalcy to your life. GOOD LUCK.
Come on, this is pure politics. Things like 'nobody trusts mixed race people' or 'white father black mother equals epic fail' are sophisms, and politically incorrect ones... I wonder how many people here want to find new sources of anxiety. The U. S., the U. K. and Sweden, for instance, have special policies to fight this interracial marriage bias.
nah... you make good points.. but the underlying assumption is that trying to fit in is the best thing...
I come from a long line of racially ambiguous folks... only thing I get tired of hearing is "What are you?"
Otherwise... my kids are fine, I'm fine... my family is fine, my husband's family is fine...
Carry on... and thanks for the opinion
