Countering racism with racism like "we good looking Asians" is not a step in the right direction.
How is that racist, why is there no good looking Asians out there, just look at my photo.

Besides, I was being sarcastic,
Most racism I had encounter because of my interracial marriage are from "white supremest" who think we are polluting their gene pool, and are wiping out their race.

A half-italian, half-frenchman who grows up in Italy just like a normal Italian boy is going to be assimilated into that culture. The same is untrue for a half asian or a half black, who looks and behaves nothing like the local people, nor does he have a similar genetic makeup.
That is not the question. Let's try again.

Are Italian and French two different races?
Would a marriage between a French person and an Italian person be an inter-racial marriage?

I know legions of Chinese who would detest the idea of marrying with Japanese. There are similar correlations of disagreement in mixing of the races when it comes to Japanese and Koreans.

I suggest you take to the streets of these clearly foul, racist countries and lecture them on the evils of what they believe. Do the Japanese think there are no good looking Koreans? Obviously the Koreans must be stealing all their women.

Or perhaps -- and this is just a thought -- they want to preserve their national and racial identity.

That is not the question. Let's try again.

The answer has been made perfectly clear to you, here it is again;

Are Italian and French two different races?

Extremely minor genetic differences only, so yes and no.

Would a marriage between a French person and an Italian person be an inter-racial marriage?

No.

Do you see that the first two are similar, while the last is not?

Here's another example;

I only have to ask whether or not you can see the glaring differences between the races. Are you saying these two women are the same?

OK well if you put it that way but when you say "we good looking Asians" it implies all Asians when there is no context to differentiate.
Most racism I had encounter because of my interracial marriage are from "white supremest[sic]" who think we are polluting their gene pool, and are wiping out their race.
That is because you are in the United States and most people are white here, so most racists you meet will be white. If you went to Asia you would find that there are many who would think you are polluting the Asian gene pool by marrying a white woman. I have met them, they are real. In addition to 'polluting the gene pool' of the Asian race collectively, they take offense when Koreans marry Japanese, Chinese marry Thai, and Hmong marry Laotian. In addition, it is the norm for them to believe behaviors are racially genetic. In Japan they think that black people genetically have a sense of musical rhythm, and that people from Thailand are genetically more angry like certain breeds of dog such as Pit Bull. A few years back a major businessman and politician almost went bankrupt when it became public knowledge that his business style was decidedly un-Japanese. Because of that, people thought he must be part Korean or Chinese and he lost quite a bit of business. In Japan, the governor of Tokyo issued statements that if a major earthquake occurred, Koreans in Japan would likely riot (despite in the last great earthquake the Japanese being the ones who rioted). If the mayor of a major city like LA or New York said something similar about black people it would end his political career. However in Japan he continues to govern to this day.

So what's my point in all this? Well, white people by no means have a monopoly on racism or even a majority shareholding and, in fact are a minority themselves at only 8% of the world's population (Asians being the largest).

I wouldn't term any of the above "racism" because that potrays it in a negative light.

If the Korean, Japanese or Chinese races were bred out of existence into one homogenous mongrel race it would be a huge tragedy, as would it be anywhere else in the world. Every race has a right to preserve and take pride in itself - and a child should be born with a race he or she can identify with. That is why race mixing is a terrible idea.

I had never stated that "Whites" have a monopoly on racism.

I had been to China many times, and I had yet to experience these racist people you are talking about.

Nice cop-out, but untrue. The French are descendents of indo-european germanic tribes who originated in Northern Europe and then migrated southward and westward. The Italians are non-indo-european indigenous inhabitants of the region and do not share ANY genetic comonality with the Germans/French. Unless you can demonstrate genetic evidence of shared ancestry that confirms your unsupported contention that there are only "minor genetic differences", I will ask you again - Are Italians and French different races.

Every statement you just made is false.

Europeans, as a whole, are completely common in terms of ancestry; whether you subscribe to creationism or evolutionism. There is hardly any genetic difference between them. Europeans as a whole are divided into three different types; nordic, alpine and mediterranean. The mediterranean type died out with the Roman empire, so that most living in Italy today are a mixture of mediterranean and nordic, while those in Eastern Europe are alpine.

Regardless, they're all one of a kind - the three main races of humanity, black, white and yellow can be segregated into those three safely. There is barely a scrap of difference between a Frenchman and an Italian in terms of DNA.

He is absolutely correct. This is quite common over there, with one exception in that it is somewhat trendy for women to 'marry up' with American guys, but this only applies to white and American, not white and German, not non-white and American. It is unlogical, but reality.

And I have lived in the United States all my life and have yet to see a lynching. Nor have I ever experienced a black person being discriminated against, yet these things still happen.

Seriously though: in Japan, white people, particularly white Americans, get better treatment than other Asians. It's very, very weird.

You really should do some research before you shoot your mouth off.

"There are almost 56 million autochthonous Italians in Italy" - autochthonous means "native to the soil". source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_people

The original inhabitants who these 56 million people descend from are the Etrusians.

"Culture that is identifiably and certainly Etruscan developed in Italy after about 800 BC approximately over the range of the preceding Iron Age Villanovan culture."

"The origins of the Etruscans are lost in prehistory."

source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etruscans

The Italians are NOT descended from Nordic peoples. The French are. They are much further apart in genetic origins than say, the Jews and the Canaanites. Do you consider the Jews and Canaanites different races? God sure does.

I have not posted before on this thread, so I hope you will not mind me sharing....

What I have come to know of Jesus Christ, He enjoyed the company and the hearts of people that could love in difficult situations, people that others found hard to love, such as the story of the Good Samaritan...
And t
his was written about Christ and differences.....
Colossians 3:11 "Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all and in all..."


My daughter dated a young man that was African and Mexican American. She is Italian - Slovak - Indian American.... and a few more. :wave: She is beautiful. She ended up not being with this young man, but if she would have wanted to marry him, she would have had our blessing, and I believe it would have been fine with the Lord.....

I also wanted to share the following ....
(I posted them on a thread that was closed, but I thought they were worth sharing again.....)


RACE

  1. Race is a modern idea. Ancient societies, like the Greeks, did not divide people according to physical distinctions, but according to religion, status, class, even language. The English language didn’t even have the word ‘race’ until it turns up in 1508 in a poem by William Dunbar referring to a line of kings.
  2. Race has no genetic basis. Not one characteristic, trait or even one gene distinguishes all the members of one so-called race from all the members of another so-called race......

Italians are not descended from the Nordic - true in once sense, false in another.

The Italians were originally of mediterranean stock, but racial mixing between the nordic Germans during the decline and sacking of the Roman Empire has caused the modern day italians to be a mix of nordic and mediterranean. The mediterranean phenotype has died out.

Most European nations blend one into another; for example, England alone is a mixture of Roman, Celtic, Danish and Norman. For all practical purposes, Italians and French are exactly the same. A french boy who grows up in Italy thinking that he is Italian will have no problems. A half caste mulatto or eurasian, however, will.

I'm a bigger man than you racist

In which way could you mean?

You seem rather short in your profile picture, while I stand at 6"2. You also fail to make any reasonable counter arguments, instead resorting to parthian shorts and ad hominem attacks - so in terms of intellect you also fall short.

Could you possibly mean that you're a "bigger man" in your assessment that civilization would be better off if all races homogenized into one single mongrel race? If so, I disagree. I think it takes a strong man to stand up and say; no, I don't agree with race mixing, I think every race should have a right to preserve its culture and identity and to hell with political correctness.

Oh you got my height from my photo did you?
Am I standing next to a ruler?

I'd think twice before you try to stare me
oh 6.2 , believe me I had taken down bigger.

I believe it takes an ignorant man to have your ideas of race.

It's just your own scared and paranoid views thinking that your so-called race is being desecrated out of existence.
So by thinking such garbage, you will never be a bigger, nor a stronger man than I.

My wife and I had faced your kind of racism before

I never stated a belief in superiority in the white race. This is your own inferiority complex being projected onto me.

I believe that all races - from the Africans to the Asians to the Europeans - have the right to preserve themselves without fear of accusations of "racism," of which now seems to be akin to being a murderer or a rapist.

I believe that the real racists are those who believe we should homogenize into one single race, throwing all culture and history to the winds. The idea of that ever coming to reality makes me feel ill.

I want to go to China and experience their country, and see their people. I want to experience the French culture, the German culture, the American way of life. I don't want to see the same mongrel race worldwide, with no ties to history or culture or tradition. God save us if that ever happened.
