. It also applies to trying to normalize inter racial relationships where such families are portrayed as the norm, when, in fact, they make up a very small proportion of the population.I don't have the percentages in front of me, but I know a lot of inter racial relationships. Not just from the international scene, but just routine relationships. Why wouldn't and shouldn't this be the norm? I think more people are getting exposed to more people of different nationalities/races, and they are often finding them attractive. I would say people were more insulated in the past, but that is 'a-changin'.

Highly improbable.
You might want to see the world turn a shade of brown but I quite like the differences amongst people.
I'm ok with leaving out international relationships, which was my intent if it wasn't clear.
You’re also lumping inter-national and inter-racial relationships into the same basket.
They are quite different animals.
My experiences are here in Los Angeles mainly. Where a lot of people are exposed to a lot of different races. If you go to Wyoming or Alaska there probably isn't as much exposure to different races so there is very little chance of inter racial marriages.That would explain it.
What I am against is the media portrayal that happy clappy inter racial relationships a la tanned fuzzy haired smiling kids are the norm.
Oh I see now, you are against inter racial marriages for some reason. I'm not, I say let people choose who they want to be with whether it be the same color or not. No restrictions, judgments, or stigmas. While not the norm, it may one day be the norm as that is where it is trending.
I'm ok with leaving out international relationships, which was my intent if it wasn't clear.That’s fine by me.
That would explain it.
What I am against is the media portrayal that happy clappy inter racial relationships a la tanned fuzzy haired smiling kids are the norm.How would you like the media to portray the children of inter racial relationships? Believe it or not the kids produced are just like any other children. Some outwardly happy, others quiet, just normal kids. Is there something wrong with 'tanned fuzzy haired kids' being portrayed as happy? Are they supposed to be portrayed as morose and stoic?
Keep in mind there are more people in Southern California then there are in about 15 of least populated states combined. So in that respect Southern California is more typical than Alaska, Wyoming, or South Dakota .One state out of 51 is not a typical representation of the population of the US. You are being quite misleading.
How would you like the media to portray the children of inter racial relationships? Believe it or not the kids produced are just like any other children. Some outwardly happy, others quiet, just normal kids. Is there something wrong with 'tanned fuzzy haired kids' being portrayed as happy? Are they supposed to be portrayed as morose and stoic?Are you being deliberately obtuse or it it a normal state of mind for you? A mixed race family unit, as regularly portrayed by the media, is not representative of the typical family unit anywhere in the western world, however much you wish it to be.
There are a lot of kids of interracial parents, and that number is going to grow as they reach child bearing age.
Fathertime!
One state out of 51 is not a typical representation of the population of the US.In respect to the population California represents roughly 12% of all of the US. Of course there are other populated states similar to California.
Are you being deliberately obtuse or it it a normal state of mind for you? A mixed race family unit, as regularly portrayed by the media, is not representative of the typical family unit anywhere in the western world, however much you wish it to be.You have already stated how you disapprove of mixed families. My position is I don't care if a relationship is mixed or not, it isn't something important to me. I have bad news for you though, in 2010 15.1% of marriages in the US were mixed. That number is probably higher now, and the trend is going nowhere but up.
One state out of 51 is not a typical representation of the population of the US. ...
In respect to the population California represents roughly 12% of all of the US. Of course there are other populated states similar to California.So you agree with me that the population of Southern California is not typical of that of the US.
You have already stated how you disapprove of mixed families.Please point out where I have stated this. Again, you are misrepresenting the point I was making.
So you agree with me that the population of Southern California is not typical of that of the US.Point out to me where I said it was typical of the entire US. Southern California has a greater population then a bunch of states all combined.
Please point out where I have stated this. Again, you are misrepresenting the point I was making.Your earlier comment regarding happy tanned fuzzy headed babies didn’t sound too delighted about their existence. There are quite of few of these children In addition to other children of mixed race parents who have children that have straight hair paler skin etc etc.
<snip>Here is a little googled wiki link on the subject.<snip>...Fathertime!
Point out to me where I said it was typical of the entire US. Southern California has a greater population then a bunch of states all combined.No you didn’t say that exactly but you did make a comparison of Sourhern California against 15 other states and broadening the scope.
Your earlier comment regarding happy tanned fuzzy headed babies didn’t sound too delighted about their existence.Ah, so from what ‘sounded’ like something you made an erroneous conclusion. Sometimes it’s prudent to read and understand the point that’s being made.
There are quite of few of these children In addition to other children of mixed race parents who have children that have straight hair paler skin etc etc.I quite agree. It’s when only the minority is being portrayed in the media as the majority that suspicions arise that the MSM has an agenda.
The entire group represents millions now if not more so I see no reason why these children shouldn’t be represented in the media just like most anyone else.
It’s when only the minority is being portrayed in the media as the majority that suspicions arise that the MSM has an agenda.Show me how you reach the conclusion that the minority is being portrayed as the majority.
:shock:😀
Oh no! Not you, too! It has fast become a contagious disease in this site!!! An epidemic!! Nooooooo...
No you didn’t say that exactly but you did make a comparison of Sourhern California against 15 other states and broadening the scope.I pointed out the fact that Southern California has as much population as 15 or so other states. So in that respect SoCal is representive of a lot of people.
Well, Obama would disagree...he counted 57 the last time.And he wasn't even British... [maybe he was really a Kenyan after all?] :rolleyes:
Ah, so from what ‘sounded’ like something you made an erroneous conclusion. Sometimes it’s prudent to read and understand the point that’s being made.The only point you have made is that you aren’t fond of interracial relationships. I haven’t seen your proof their is a conspiracy in the media. The group represents millions of not more so they can be portrayed in tv shows without it being disproportionate. In addition tv is also entertainment so perhaps audiences like to see this sort of relationship.
...I find it ironic that you, John Gaunt, are having this discussion with Fathertime and GQ Blues. Fathertime is married to a woman from South America and GQ Blues is a man of Filippino descent, married to a woman from Russia....
I think it is great that there is a growing number of advertisements that feature interracial couples...Still in the minority’s tho’.
I find it ironic that you, John Gaunt, are having this discussion with Fathertime and GQ Blues. Fathertime is married to a woman from South America and GQ Blues is a man of Filippino descent, married to a woman from Russia.I couldn’t care less who I was having this discussion with.
And we are all on a forum which, has as its stated purpose, the union of people from one continent or country to another.Really, I could have sworn this was a forum exclusively about Russian women. Perhaps the forum should be renamed?
As a society, I hope we further embrace children with heads, fuzzy or otherwise. We need to further eliminate the barriers of race. And that includes marriages of people with different skin hues. Personally, I contemplated many different cultures and races prior to my initial foray into Eastern Europe.I quite like that there different ethnicities and races. Makes for a more interesting world.
I believe that within two generations we will no longer be having these discussions. And we will be better for it.I rather doubt it.
Show me how you reach the conclusion that the minority is being portrayed as the majority.You’d have to be seeing through my eyes. Yours are obviously blinkered.

I haven’t seen your proof their is a conspiracy in the media.Go and sit in front of your Telly and observe. It’ll soon be apparent. That’s your homework. Now run along or it’ll be 6 of the best for you.
...Really, I could have sworn this was a forum exclusively about Russian women. Perhaps the forum should be renamed?
Yes, I agree. It should be named 'Trenchcoat, the ultimate British Playboy'...of maybe 'Googler Central'...or, 'My Love Affair with the Bottle. Confessions of an Irish sailor'...How about MEGA MAGA?
Best yet...'Make Europe Great Again! Hug a Migrant!'...

I'm not bothered by seeing the kids of interracial couples. Where you live it may be abnormal, but in many other places it is routine, and gaining steam.
I think it is great that there is a growing number of advertisements that feature interracial couples...
While it is not the current majority, these type of couples have been suppressed for so long that perhaps some over exposure (proportionate compared to their actual numbers) is warranted. Is this the PC advertising of the future? Who knows?

Here is a little factoid that I once again 'googled'. :D
More people than I originally thought were in interracial relationships. I hadn't given it that much thought until this thread erupted. Over 1/2 of the children born in the US nowadays are from various minority groups, that audience will be catered to in the years to come.Noted. I have noticed that in the endeavor to homogenize society, TV commercials are increasingly engaged in the effort.
::::GASP!:::: Repent!
Anyway, I thought this was a serious discussion until you start populating threads with silly things like 'European American' African American', 'Asian American'...those aren't 'races'. Technically, they're more descriptive of 'continents'...
Races are, depends on which you subscribe to: Caucasoids, Negroids, Mongoloids, Australoids, and of course you have what is recently classified as Sexoid...which is where I belong in. I think there's only 3 of us that exist.
Ethnicity is a whole different stew, just as cultures will be.
How would you like the media to portray the children of inter racial relationships? Believe it or not the kids produced are just like any other children.
Show me how you reach the conclusion that the minority is being portrayed as the majority.
Depending on what races are in the interracial relationship can have very real, noticeable differences in the IQ of the children. (And IQ is the single biggest predictor of life success.)Are there any supporting site or links to all that? It all sounds somewhat 'brown shirt' and you might review the forum rules also.
You agree to refrain from posting any ethnic, racial, religious, or political commentary which is not directly related to the theme of this site and/or which may be interpreted by others as being offensive or insulting.
My God, Bee Farmer,
You could have quoted that from the James Michner novel, Chesapeake. In it, he describes the attributes of various cultural groups as seen through the eyes of Southerners prior to the Civil War. I won't elaborate as your vivid descriptions outlines your racial bigotry without assistance from anyone on the forum.
n.
My God,
Fathertime, that is false. Very, very few children of interracial relationships are like other kids. They look like other kids, but they are NOT like other kids.
IQ is heritable, and IQ distributions between races is wildly different.
The average African American has an IQ of 85. That means that around 85% of African-American kids have less brains than the average white kid.
Sub-Saharan Africans have an average IQ of 70, which is considered borderline retarded, and in the US, you can get Social Security Disability for having an IQ that low.
Middle Eastern Arabs have an IQ about 80.
Mexicans and Latinos have an average IQ about 90.
Whites have an average IQ of 100.
Asians are about 105.
Ashkenazi Jews are 112-115 (which is why there are so many Jewish geniuses. A small shift at the middle of the bell curve of the IQ distribution has big effects at the tails where the geniuses are located.)
Depending on what races are in the interracial relationship can have very real, noticeable differences in the IQ of the children. (And IQ is the single biggest predictor of life success.)
Fathertime, I'll give you an example. The media portrays blacks as being smart and successful. Very few blacks are smart and successful. The average African American has an IQ of 85. I've worked around some. The average is a complete idiot. (And Immigrants from Africa are a nightmare, they have extreme difficulties with the most basic tasks.)
The US military will not accept anyone who has an IQ less than 83, because they have learned that no amount of training can make them useful. And if we realize that the military is a rough approximation of the jobs in society, that means there are no jobs for roughly 15% of the population. (which ironically, is the percentage of people on food stamps.)
Keep in mind that an IQ of 80 or below is unable to follow written instructions. That's about 10% of the population.
Racial differences are very real. Blacks dominate sports, but very few become successful at it. Whites and Asians dominate things that require cognitive function.
Cognitive ability is directly correlated to stimulation between the ages of two and five.That's where bilingual or multi-lingual couples can be of benefit to children. Brain development is enhanced when they are constantly exposed to two or more languages. If you get hooked up with a FSUW don't drop the language(s)!
When I was born, Jim Crow laws still existed. Folks ate, drank and pissed in different facilities, rode in different parts of busses. Yes, there were even lynchings. The fight for equality reaching it's peak. Landmark rulings by SCOTUS regarding equality. Desegregation of schools. For hundreds of years the white man did everything possible to repress anyone that wasn't white, even limiting education.
Although much has improved, there is still a long way to go. I still see the remains of segregation every time I take a trip back to the US.
I was fortunate that to grow up overseas on US military bases where none of this existed. All were equal, with equal opportunity. There were smart kids and there were not so smart kids and that was that. My thoughts were not tinged by racist views. A persons color was the last thing we kids thought about. My cousins at home did not have it so good. Even today there are some I consider racist.
Most of the folks around here are more or less my age and have the same color skin as I have. Look at your birth certificates, old drivers license, maybe even newer one to see if Race: appears and ask yourself why...
Reading some of the remarks above, I cringe. I feel sorry for you that you were not given the same opportunities I had while growing up. And yes, I feel sorry for your kids that inherit your views.
As far as IQ goes, the I can also stand for 'Ignorance', even 'Idiot' and for some of you reading this the Quotient number is pretty damned high.
Well, speaking of being as racist a post as any other, our esteemed member BC is certainly speaking from a perspective and opinion of someone who, by his own admission, hardly grew up in and lived in the society he speaks of. Unlike BC however, I spent the majority of my life living in the United States of America as a 'person of color'. That said, my personal perspective is completely polarized from him. With the exception of an admission counselor in a California university, I have never experienced being discriminated upon by anyone or anything my entire life living here.GQB, you make some very valid points.
Yes folks, affirmative action was a heinous process of blatant discrimination.
BC's post is a tired ol' Democrat talking point. Racism was politicized by Democrats to elevate their party. They promote equality in our system by making sure black people continue to live in the idea they are oppressed, victim mentality, and the Democrats stands behind them to freely support their every facets of life. Literally. The Democrat's social experiment is a political apocalypse for black folks.
Every person, no matter your ethnicity, no matter what culture you were brought up in, have prejudices. I admit I do. When 15% of a society's population commit the very vast majority of violent crimes, you begin to harness a prejudicial, or predisposed, knowledge to prevent any situation that could subject you to such violence. That doesn't mean I am racist and I don't give a rat's arse if snowflakes insist I am because I know they tote the same lines I do. They'd be the first one making sure they stay away from predominantly black neighborhood like south central, Compton, north Long Beach, Ferguson, Baltimore, etc...A reality, someone like BC, didn't have to live under nor personally witnessed apparently.
The election of Obama deepened the divide in our society. Not just from a political standpoint, but more importantly from a 'racial' standpoint. That was the ultimate plan. Obama's advancement of racial tension keyed from Henrietta Hughes, to Cambridge police/Gates' incident, to the Trayvon Martin case, to Ferguson Michael Brown's matter, all they way down to the Dallas police massacre. He made sure America be further racially divided even after his term. Obama, for all intent and purposes, is anything BUT black. Yet he played that part to it's fullest. He's half-white and lived half of his life in a foreign country and in Hawaii who have little to no black American population. He educated himself via affirmative action. Despite his skin color, was elected POTUS.
It's so very easy for folks to call another 'racist' these days. Unlike themselves of course. :rolleyes:

Finally if there's less racism in Europe why is much/most/probably almost all of Europe whiter than the US? Look up how white European countries are and compare that to the US. The UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Hungary, etc. Many of the European powers had colonies in Africa and Asia in centuries past. Why aren't those populations represented in their present day populations?
Why did Sweden and Germany say to all the migrants that they were welcome to come, live and work in their countries then when the avalanche of African migrants began the politicians changed their minds and shut it down and began deporting migrants? Why?
Here's the latest in changing reality. A Dutch man is trying to legally change his age. His reasoning is if you can legally change your gender why not your age? Next time I go to renew my DL I'm asking to change my date of birth. I'm thinking of something in the late 1970s maybe the early 1980s? My wife said she always wanted to be with a younger man.

I was fortunate that to grow up overseas on US military bases where none of this existed. All were equal, with equal opportunity.
You are not alone, there are many in the US that believe the same as you do. I do not agree with what you stated about babies being 'different' in the respect you stated.
Personally I don't put as much stock in the studies you are using. Social and environmental factors are a big factor. Not to say there are some differences, but my belief is the brush you are using is too broad.
Drug use marijuana use is a big factor in what individuals functional IQ is, and drugs are used by a huge portion of the US population.
Dave,
I take it you haven't spent much time lately in Paris, Frankfurt, Rome, Milan, Brussels, Antwerp etc. Quite 'rainbow' cities. As far as mixed religions is concerned, I doubt any city beats Antwerp. BTW life has returned to normal in Belgium.
Your 'look around' reference is a bit skewed. In many places in the US I can and have wandered into that 'other' part of town. Here in most of EU there's much more of a mix with very few 'hoods' and those are mostly defined by wealth or lack thereof , don't buy the 'banned zone' crap. It's not comparable to hundreds, maybe even thousands of cities and towns where the 'other side' exists. If anything, de facto segregation in the US is setting a bad wannabe example for a lot of kids on this side of the ocean.
In the 70's and 80's, especially in Germany interracial couples US GI's and local German girls became quite common, even marriages. Sure some were jealous, penis envy maybe, their problem. Fact is that they couldn't bring their racism to work or cause any kind of racial trouble off duty without pretty severe consequences. It simply was not tolerated. From basic training onward there were plenty of formal reminders and education about what was ok and what not. May not have been perfect, but still light years ahead of what was going on back 'home', maybe even today.
Think about where district voting lines are drawn, and who lives on each side of that line. Isn't a square, or circle, or zip code, or area code or county enough? Heck, zip codes are laid out to make mail pickup and delivery efficient, so why wouldn't that make voting and collecting ballots more efficient? The problem is that it would do exactly that :)

Reportedly so gerrymandered to connect two Hispanic portions of the city? Why should that matter? What about everybody else in-between?
Oh well, enuf to chew on.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/italy-matteo-salvini-video-immigration-mass-cleansing-roma-travellers-far-right-league-party-a8409506.html
Mass cleansing but not racism?
Salvini also includes the Roma as migrants that Italy needs to rid itself of. Roma are also in France. The streets of Paris are full of them. Roma have been in Italy for decades probably soon after WW2, so it's unlikely Italy will ever be rid of Roma.
My wife loves Paris and London so we tend to visit when we're going to or coming from Moscow. I've seen the rainbow populations living in Paris, especially those literally living on the streets. Have you been to the French countryside? It's so white in outside major French cities it makes the whitest parts of the US look integrated. The French had colonies in Africa and the Caribbean yet not very many of the residents of those colonies made it to France. Have you read about the French border guards making sure the migrants from Italy who crossed the Med don't make it into France?
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/10/border-tensions-boil-france-dumps-migrants-italy-181022113500924.html
Germany still today has tax dollars distributed to political parties including those sympathetic to Nazis.
Contrary to popular belief, there is little racism in America.
Would you care to share the source of this revelation ?
I'm sure events in places like events in Baton Rouge, , Charlotte, Baltimore and Ferguson support your interesting assertion

Moby doesn’t have a country. He has an English passport not because he’s a citizen of England but because England’s overlord can keep tabs in his whereabouts to make sure taxes keep coming in. Northern Ireland is not a country. It’s not a state. It has no Union representation and even if it does, it’s for sheer formality. NI is like a bastard child no one wants around and is given sad tag line for a sense of belonging.
Heck NI doesn’t even have an anthem. It has to suck up to England’s anthem unlike the kingdoms of Scotland and Wales.
Think of a sheep pasture and you can see Moby. That should give you an idea. Why do you think he’s hardly ever sober? Wouldn’t you be too if you were Moby?

Ummmm....GQB. There’s a whole lot wrong about your post. Some corrections would be in order.

You have a point BC. It's not politically correct to talk about race and IQ.
Let's talk aboutMcNamara's MoronsProject 100,000 instead, where they sent all those Forrest Gumpers with IQ's as low as 62 to Vietnam, where they were more of a threat to their fellow soldiers than they were to the VC.
Or maybe we can talk about how in the early 1990's, the Clinton administration asked Colin Powell what could be done to get more minorities (ie, blacks, as several other minorities were already represented) in the Special Forces. In his report he said to do away with the swimming test since blacks can't swim, and to do away with the IQ test. (since the SF require 1 standard deviation above average IQ for SF)

Right now - Northern Ireland is EXTREMELY popular with over half the UK population - given the country's ( it's a kingdom made up up of four nations) 10 MPs - representing about 30 percent of the electorate's interests are unwittingly ensuring NO Brexit or a very short time outside of the club...

WHERE does the word England or English appear ...... ? It's a BRITISH passport .... I SPEAK English and you claim you do ;)

Enough to know that your first link concerned not BANNING - rather than funding and the second link was about STOPPING the NPD receiving any funding as a political movement -
You have a point BC. It's not politically correct to talk about race and IQ.

The NPD Nazis received German tax payer money just like I mentioned, yes? They haven't been stopped due to courts protecting their rights.
You want equal rights except when it's given to people you don't like? Political parties get State money to function in Germany. I understand the liberal parties of free speech and tolerance want to ban the opposition or at least their funding. One day their opposition will be the majority and the same tolerance they've shown to minorities will be shown to them.
They haven't been stopped as it ( NPD) " did not pose a significant enough threat to German democracy for it to be outlawed."
So if someday the German people embrace Fascism...again and the parties of tolerance and free speech lose power, the parties of tolerance and free speech will only then try to eliminate the NPD. Makes you wonder who the Fascists are.
I was surprised at this one.....
Obviously you do not have the IQ to read and comprehend what the author wrote. Anyone else here willing to step up and agree that the article http://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/04/stop-talking-about-race-and-iq-take-it-from-someone-who-did.html asserts what is stated above?
Your source?
I'm sure you now want to somehow link swimming ability to IQ?
There are plenty of men and women of all color who never learned how to swim.
I join those who consider your views sad and pathetic.
Ever consider the possibility the Bible is correct?
God gave Abraham a promise to bless his descendants.
What if that blessing amounted to higher IQ, plus Judeo-Christian work ethic and inventiveness? (Asians have high IQ, but East minus West equals zero, as Ayn Rand put it.)
When you look at the migration of the tribes of Israel, and where those tribes ended up, what do you find? Predominantly white, Western cultures.
What if God's chosen people were the white, Western societies?
BC, the author is trying to argue some BS that IQ doesn't matter...which is complete BS. IQ really does matter.
There is something known as competence. Low IQ people have difficulties with competence. If you are in a situation where you need to depend on someone else, you darn sure want them to be competent.
There are blacks who are high IQ and very competent, but the percentage of high IQ, competent blacks is much lower than other races.
Try Uncle Google. It's not hard to find, if you have enough intelligence to use Google.
I make no such correlation. I'll leave that up to you.
Swimming ability was one of two factors Powell cited as being reasons for so few blacks in the special forces.
Unfortunately, lack of knowledge of how to swim was not the problem. Physiology was.
Just as I join those who consider your views to be sad, pathetic, and ignorant.
There really are racial differences.
Anyone who runs a business or organization knows you want to hire people who bring the most value and competence. That correlates with IQ. If you bring on board a lot of low IQ idiots, your business or organization suffers.
I have nothing against blacks or other minorities. I do have something against low IQ idiots and incompetence. Only a fool would pretend that some races do not have higher distributions of idiots and incompetents than other races.
Ever consider the possibility the Bible is correct?

Using Ayn Rand and the bible as possible references isn't credible. From your view IQ matters when discussing blacks or latinos, but IQ is discounted/discarded when referring to Asians. Which of course conveniently leaves you at the very top of the food chain.

One thing that has always bothered me was the Anglification of Jesus by Western civilization. It is more likely that Jesus was dark brown instead of all those pictures of him as someone, say, that you'd meet in Norway. It is possible he even was considered Black. Absent imagery, it is impossible to say, except that natives from his territory are a mix that favors Mediterranean colors.

Some of the Popes of the time of the first millennium after the supposed death of Jesus were from North Africa and the Middle East so there must have been black Popes.
