Of course it does. Thats what racism is at its base. Keep the race "pure", don't mix with those dirty subhumans, preserve the bloodlines. Its racism.

What sense do you mean then? you don't want the other race to infect/spoil/dirty/dilute your race. This in the first place presupposes that your race has actual racial characteristics, which, of course, it doesn't. There is nothing to preserve in terms of 'race', and people don't get all worked up over pride in melanin concentration or the angles of facial bones. They get appalled by dirty, savage, less than human under men mixing with their pure race, ie racism. Perhaps you aren't a violent racist, and perhaps you get along with and genuinely like members of other races, but you recognize these non existent groups called races, give them some properties or another (at least properties that can be kept undiluted) and also, more importantly, aren't 'down' with them mixing; not enough to tell someone else their business, but enough to say 'my blood shalt not mix with thine blood'. Thats a basic, simple, stunningly acceptable part of racism.

Around here, if you're a white girl and don't want to date a black guy, you're accused of being racist. Talk about guilt trip.
It's not racism to not like interracial dating and/or marriage. My issue is this (for those who blatantly ignored most of my post) :
I don't mind as much if you really LOVE each other. But too many times it's because the black guy wants a white woman because it makes him look cool. That black guy, in effect, is saying that blacks are inferior.
My husband, for example, hates red hair. Doesn't mean he hates redheads...just doesn't like the color hair. I'm surprised people don't scream discrimination for THAT!
I also think it's being encouraged by the NWO shills to break down any racial/national barriers.
I always took it for granted I'd marry white, since I'm predominantly white. For some reason it never occurred to me to do otherwise.

What I find interesting about that definition is how they include the word "religion". If I were Catholic and only wanted to date other Catholics for religious reasons, that too would be a terrible thing??

I've bolded the definition I believe is most appropriate here. By saying you do not want to date anyone because of a particular reason--whatever it may be--you are discriminating against that person. They're ugly, fat, too dumb, too smart, too skinny, whatever, you're technically discriminating against them. When you discriminate against someone because of their race, it is called racist.

Anyways, I want my children to llok like me, not a hybrid.

"Don't mix with those dirty subhumans, preserve the bloodlines"..............you said that, I didn't.
were different races put here on Earth to interbreed? If so then why did God make races?
Can an African American, or American Indian, or Asian person not have pride in their race as well
Are there different races because God wanted us to learn to get along with someone who looks different? Why race
If I were Catholic and only wanted to date other Catholics for religious reasons, that too would be a terrible thing??
In my eyes, the more we have to walk on eggshells when talking about race and racism, the more of a problem it actually becomes.
I was speaking of my children specifically, not anyone else's
crusader
Or to put to the fact how is it racist that a young white male want to marry his own kind?
Listen What if I am attracted to only Black females,ONLY.
nathraq
as a white male who would not marry a black female, am a rascist for not doing so, is the funniest statement I've read all day.
Calling people rascists for not marrying ouside their racial group is not going to miraculously cause a phenemenom of mixed marriages springing up all around the globe.
Who really cares? I don't. Love is color blind
All this smack about' there are no races', and 'we were genetically altered', and this race is better than that race', is just that: all crap.
I will not let my children be prey to this either.
But because with every mixed marriage, a certain piece of that specific, original, ageless, and unique group is lost forever.
Heck, if anything, I'd think that your ancestors would be more resentful if you married someone from the particular tribes of black-sellouts who literally sold them to the whites. The enemy within is greater than the enemy without no?
Based on my last post, if that's the only reason you won't marry them, then yes, you're racist. Racism does not have to mean you're out shooting white people, denying them jobs, or screaming "Kill Whitey" on a street corner. Racism is merely the discrimination against someone because of their race--the more obvious cases of racism, the ones including violence and abuse, are not the only forms of racism that exist
But you're not so thats irrelevant. There are hotties for every 'race'.
