Here's a Question for everyone:
Can a person be married to a spouse of ethnicity but still
be prejudiced towards that particular race?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Sure. Several thoughts come to mind.
They could consider the spouse the one exception.
They could think poorly of themselves and think an inferior spouse is the best they can get
They could consider a spouse property and want to treat the spouse of an inferior race very badly
And last but not least, because the father of the inferior spouse caught them in bed and owns a shotgun.
Inferior above relates only to the attitude of the person, not the truth.

If it was rape, according to the OT, all he need do is pay 50 shekels and marry her, and he's good to go.

Absolutely no reason why not.
In fact the marriage could even be the reason the prejudice starts: They find the person they married to be less than perfect and conclude that all members of that race are like that rather than just the individual they married.

Yea but it says a lot about their mental faculties. "I hate you, let's get married!"
In a healthy relationship, hatred follows marriage, not the other way around.

What do you mean when you say "spouce of ethnicity? Everybody is ethnic; everybody has an ethnic background.

Actually "Caucasian" is a race; people of different races can have the same ethnic background; but I think I know what you are trying to say.

Do you think a non Caucasian could marry a Caucasian and still be prejudice against Caucasians? Could Michelle Obama be prejudice against Caucasians even though she married one?

I was just wondering because I know someone who
is British and married a Mexican. So whenever she mentions
her daughter she makes fun of her by calling her a "bean" and says it with a grimace on her face as though children who come from mixed
marriages are not as valuable as children who have
parents of the same ethnic group even though it is
her own child.

Michelle probably has about as much Caucasian in her as her husband has. Most people labled "black" in the USA are not fully black.

That's a funny term. Don't we all have an ethnicity?
I don't see why not. All it would mean is that one had low standards.

That's a very racist thing to say. It assumes the 'normal' starting spouse is Caucasian which is not necessarily true at all.
