I get the idea that you're expecting humorous titles, but at one point I had a serious interest in trying to develop 2 ideas:
* Non-Newtonian Calculus as a basis for mechanics
* Self-Assembling Tiles as a basis for rapid emergence
A racist person doesn't spend approx. 6000 dollars on a trip to China to marry a Chinese woman
Weeeeerl... I'd agree it doesn't mean someoneone IS racist. I can think of plenty of racists who would do EXACTLY that sort of thing. Just sain'. No calling anyone a racist. That would be a interesting discussion elsewhere.
You want this here? OK. Sure, a racist could seek to legally marry a woman of the race he is racist against. Not all racism is of the "kill 'em all, I can't stand to be in the same room as 'em!" variety. If you think of members of their race as inferior and of less worth to you, their place being inferior to yours, they might make an excellent spouse, if you expect to be able to treat them as proverbial dirt. It's probably lot easier to practically enslave and sexually assault someone you don't percieve as a human of your own worth in the first place. I'm sure you've encountered people who use their spouse as an object, who have no real connection with him or her, but only see the spouse as a means to some sort of gratification. Indeed, there are people for whom, demeaning their spouse is kind of the point of having one. If you are racist against a group, members of that group could be a perfect fit. I mean, you've never herd of "slumming"?A racist would seek to legally marry a woman of the race he is racist against? Come to think of it-you are right. Under some extremely extenuating circumstances that might happen.
Unfortunately that is true. Marriage can have many motivations and not all of them are noble.You want this here? OK.

I'm not suggesting racists marry people from their group(s) of prejudice to have fulfilling and equal partnerships, don't get me wrong.
To be clear, I'm speaking about ignoble ones. I don't think racists often go out of their way to marry someone they're prejudiced against hoping for a mutually loving and supportive relationship.That is true. Marriage can have many motivations and not all of them are noble.
No, I think that the motive for marrying outside of one's race is primarilyTo be clear, I'm speaking about ignoble ones. I don't think racists often go out of their way to marry someone they're prejudiced against hoping for a mutually loving and supportive relationship.
Please note: I'm not in any way suggesting this is the motivation of many or most people who marry outside their own race.
Hey, in ideal circumstances when we're talking about well adjusted people, I absolutely agree (although I would hope 2. comes before 1. but I digress)No, I think that the motive for marrying outside of one's race is primarily
1. Physical attraction
2. Personality compatibility
3. Restricted choices in ones own race or ethnic group due to geographical isolation
4. Financial considerations where both families benefit
Keep putting yourself out there.I personally find Eastern Oriental women to be extremely feminine and their cultural values similar to the Biblical one where the husband is honored. Unfortunately and as usual misfortune attendee my effort to make it a reality.
