Poll: How do you feel about interracial marriages?

[Jegsimmons]

dont honestly care. But i will say, people seem to almost...'promote' it if you will. which i find annoying. but thats really nothing major.


though i kind of wonder how the family reunions will work out.

 

[JasonKaotic]

...That's an issue? Really? Maybe it's just like that in America, over here it's nothing unusual at all. So yeah, I'm fine with it.

 

[Hasido]

My Aunt is white, my Uncle is black, and they are happily married.

not sure how anyone can say that it can't work.

 

[BarbaricGoose]

A woman having sex with a guy from another race because hes better at sex because of his race,

LOL, no one is better at sex because of his or her race.

Well there is that Italian/black stereotype, right? That still exists, doesn't it? Then again, I don't know if there's any truth to it. I'd think any polls on the subject would be biased ( and weird.) Anyway, while that doesn't immediately make you better at sexing people up, I'd imagine it could help.

Back on topic: I've no problem with interracial marriages.

There are bigoted assholes in every country.

Blimey, the results to the radio poll are... eye-opening. People really think that like? Wow!

In my (perhaps naive) mind, interracial marriage is one of those things that everyone except a few racist morons have decided is perfectly good. Quite clearly this isn't the case in some parts of the USA.

 

[JoesshittyOs]

I'm honestly surprised this is even a question. I'm curious as to why someone would be against any type of marriage in the first place, other than the fact they're stupid.

Hell, whatever. I've dated every "race" out there as of now. I liked the relationship with the black girl the best. Next up?

Men.

 

[Kinokohatake]

I'm a Wash and my wife is a Zoe. Our three bi racial kids are fantastic.

Oh, by the goddesses, watch out for giant metal spikes!

....

[sub]This was funnier in my head.[/sub]

OT: Done the inter-racial thing before. Can't see why any sane human being would object to it.

It's okay, I laughed.

 

[Braedan]

I didn't vote because "I don't care what other people do" wasn't an option.

 

[The Consequence]

I'm black, and I do not care if I see a white man with a black woman. In this crazy world of relationships, if they are together, and they love each other and all that, hell, even if they just want to get their freak on, I don't care. Whatever race wants to date and or marry another, go for it. Absolutely.

EDIT: Here is the final results to the poll question:
Our marriage is interracial - 3.43%
I'm against them - 43.49%
They can work, but it's difficult - 24.90%
I'm all for them - 28.18%

Just makes me sad and confused.

I calculated what the total votes might have been:

43.49% (4349)*
28.18% (2818)*
24.90% (2490)*
3.43% (377)*

Total: 10034*

I was thinking that if it was just a few votes it didn't matter but it wasn't that few.

*Or a multiple of that

 

[Sethzard]

I feel exactly the same as I do about gay marriage. I don't think that I have any right to be against them. If it makes people happy then no-one has any form of right to disagree. It's not your relationship.

Thats actually very close... nice math sir I applaud you.

I'll admit I have a little uncomfortable twinge in the back of my mind when I see interracial couples, but I recognize that it's completely illogical (and hypocritical, being white as the driven snow and totally digging Asian chicks myself) and I refuse to permit that stupid primal remnant to be anyone else's problem. If I ignore it long enough, maybe it'll go away.

On every rational level (and most of my irrational ones excluding wherever that twinge comes from) I completely support interracial marriage. Really, we ought to have outgrown the need for such terms as "interracial" by now. Aside from medical purposes, racial distinctions (not referring to reasonable levels of cultural pride) cause more trouble than they're worth.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Two consenting adults want to get married? Go ahead.

End of discussion.

Skin colour or race is not an issue for me nor should it be for anyone really...

Thanks. I thought I was going to be exact or way off, not close xD. Now I'm curious, what are the exact numbers? Maybe it was the decimals.

 

[Vault101]

Id think its less about race and more about culture

I mean if your cultrually similar its more likley to work

I dont have a problem with it, the world isnt getting anymore racially/cultrually segrigated

Alright maybe it wasn't. I was verbally told the amount and up until now I've never actually looked up the count. Its been updated since I posted this, right now its at 1,385. So I would guess you misplaced a decimal point. Still better effort than what I would expect on a forum.

 

[LightspeedJack]

What? All for it of course? When everyone in the world is a nice shade of golden brown there will be no more racism.
