1. Yes.
2. Sure sounds like you're racist. But..the question is..why do you disagree with them? Pretty much depends on why you disagree with them. Who are you to say that two people should not be together just because they look different? We all bleed the same. We are all the same..period, no matter what race we are. Someone who is latin is no different than someone who is white, black, asian, etc. No one is superior to another person, nor is a race of people superior to another race. Really, there is only one race..yes just one race...and it's called: the human race.
3. how's the weather in caucasia ?
4. It is your opinion, but you have to ask yourself why does this bother you. Why do you disagree with it?
5. Depends on why you disagree with them.
6. yes but who agrees with them anyway they just look wrong, and it is wrong
7. No, just means you're a bit narrow minded; a common trait amongst those religious souls out there.
8. yes say that in public and you will get beat up
9. I would say yes, because you make decisions depending on race. EDIT: However, I am happy that you seem to question your opinions.
10. Hitler disagreed with interracial relationships too. Do you want to be like Hitler?
11. very possibly, Why not open your mind a little more and accept all people of all races, make friends with interracial couples, they are human to. I am Caucasian, my partner is Latino, does that make us a "BAD" couple??
12. it depends on why you think that way if it is because you think they dont work no if you dont like the relationship because of race yes
13. no,mostly you feel that way because of the way you grew up and the environment you grew up in.Its easy for people to point fingers but if you grew up in an area that frowned upon interracial relationships thats how you will learn to see life.
14. if you personnaly dont want to enter into a into interracial relationship then thats fine and not really racist but if you disagree with other peoples choices then your ganna have problems.
15. I have an interracial relationship and it is enduring, loving and constantly interesting. It is also long term. Don't know about racist but you are wrong. We are all people together, regardless of race or creed.
16. No It means your an ignorant racist !!! ITS 2008 WAKE UP!!! And you call yourself a Christian. I thought u people were to love all, and all that crap. Not to be rude but im racist against people like you, and you make me sick..
17. I'm a white Christian, too, but I don't care about interracial relationships. I don't think it means you're racist, per se, but I would try to figure out why they bother you. Honestly, if two people love each other, what difference does it make if they aren't the same race? Two of my best friends are in interracial relationships, and they get along a whole lot better and seem to be more suited to their husband/fiancee than I ever was with my white ex-husband. If two people make each other happy and love each other, isn't that what's most important? Plus, it really isn't your business who someone else loves.
18. Depends. If you think interracial relationships are morally wrong I think you are wrong about that. If you just think that interracial relationships are not for you because they are harder to make work, then that is a valid point of view. There is nothing in the Bible that forbids interracial relationships. But they are not for everyone.
19. Here's a better question: Are people who breed pedigree puppies dog-racists? There is only one race: human.
20. yes and psossibly sectarian too
21. What does being a Christian have to do with your personal believes about interracial relationships. True Christians don't care about color. They know that all people are part of Gods human garden, and have respect and love for all mankind. So to answer your question as a Christian I would have to say yes! I would re-asses my view point if I were you.
22. Pretty much, Im Somewhat a Christian but I have dated atheists before and I only dated one person who was my race but the rest weren't...you are probably jsut a traditionalist but the thing about it is traditions die....
23. No ... just another boring troll. .
24. Yes sort of. If YOU are not attracted to any other race beside yours, there's no problem in that, because that's just who you like; it doesn't make you racist. But if you disagree with OTHER people marrying out of their race, than that is racist, because it means you have a problem with other races. If someone wants to marry out of their race, if it makes them happy, it should be up to them.
25. If for a personal choice its not..but if you totally dis agree with it...then its gonna be a big problem in the future!!!
26. disagreeing with it does not make you a racist. What would make you a racist is if you're going around telling people that it's wrong and that you have something against it. What's important to remember is while you are entitled to your opinion you need to recognize that sometimes you need to be careful about how you express it. Personally I have nothing against it. People are people, white, black, yellow or purple, we're all the same when it comes right down to it. As a true Christian you should know better than most.
27. not knowing anything of your religion, I cant talk for you,but I see nothing wrong at all, as long as the two people can adjust to each others way of life. I had almost 27 years of marriage to a girl from oversea's,and would do it all over again.
28. Possibly. You may want to read about Miriam's leprosy which God brought upon her for slandering Moses for marrying a Cushite (black) woman.
29. Well, I don't think it makes you much of a Christian now, does it...
30. Just because you disagree with interracial relationships does not make you a racist. You may still have friends from different racial backgrounds, just disagree with them having (I guess sexual) relations. You need to tell me why you disagree with it before I call you a racist or not.
31. For the most part, the answer is probably going to be yes. But you have to ask yourself why you disagree with interracial relationships in the first place. One of the more common beliefs is that perhaps a black person is "inferior" and you don't want them "tainting" your race. If that is the reasoning, then yes, you're definitely racist.
32. It makes you prejudice, not racist, there is a difference. Prejudice is something all people have to a degree, some people dislike someone based on nationality, or religion;race and skin color. Racism is an active effort to hurt or inhibit those whom you have a prejudice against. That could be refusing to hire someone based on their skin color, their native language, or even their choice of company. Now being a white guy who is christian is far from an explanation as to why you disagree with interracial relationships, but it does not mean you are racist unless you make an effort to negatively affect the lives of the people involved. And many racists would argue that they are doing something good by practicing hate, but that is ignorance and a certain fear of changing traditions that they are beholden to. If you are a Christian, the you will know that God is colorless, the color of water, he loves all people equally, no matter the shade or hue, culture or speech. So do not use God to defend your prejudice, you have to be honest with yourself and see what about this bothers you, is it tradition? Or just what you feel to be right...
33. OF COURSE U ARE race doesn't matter, if two people love eachother that's all that matters, and besides if there were no interracial dating i would of never been born<3
34. No. You may feel free to use whatever criteria you like in selecting your spouse. If you like blondes..go for them..if you like short women, or skinny women..go for it. If you have decided to marry within your faith, or your race, I think you have an absolute right to do that.
35. Moses married and Ethiopian
36. You are a racist ,I am happily married to a Mexican American ,I m White ,and i dont see anything anything wrong with interracial marriage or relationships,My husband is serving our country in the armed forces what are you doing for the USA?
37. My brother who is white is married to a Japanese woman, and they are one of the most loving couples I've ever met, they share all the responsibilities around the house, have same interestes and just sorta fit together. They truly love each other and are very happy together and have a beautiful baby boy, why the hell would you be against something like that?
38. Yes but don't use being Christian to substantiate your views.
39. YEP!!!
40. What makes you disagree? I am caucasian and married to a black man we have a beautiful bi-racial daughter we consider ourselves Christ likes. Our daughter has had no problems growing up bi-racial, society would like to have you believe that the relationships do not work, its parents that create problems for bi-racial children, if the bi-racial child is raised with both parents and they respect each other show love and affection for each other and there child then you will raise a beautiful healthy child who can love everyone as an individual.
41. Yes. Don't blame your racism on your religeon! I'm pretty sure [having been a christian for most of my life] that there's nothing in the bible about interracial relationships.
42. Your evil and your going to hades.
43. Nope, its just preference, i belive ppl shud stick to their own culture, in that way its more self-respect, dignity, because interacial just shows ppl r deserate and cant get ppl from their culture, religion race, etc, also its less hassle not having a interracial relationships, infact most interracial relationships happen for the wrong reasons, i.e desperation, lust, insecurity, etc.
44. Not necessarily because I can understand your argument-even though, I myself don't share your view. It depends on the reasoning behind your view...there are valid reasons for disagreeing with interracial relationiships...for example, disputes over cultural differences may strain the relatioships (if they are from different cultures). Furthermore, children of interracial relationships can be teased and bullied for being of mixed race. Mixed race children can often become 'confused' over their own identity...what race am I? What race do I belong to? I am stating this through personal experience of this... However, I am a believer in 'true' love and if both individuals in a relationship are comitted to see it working then they simply have to be prepared to deal with the racism that they and their children may suffer in the future. It's a real shame that this is even an issue
45. well I have to disagree with you on your oppinion of interacial couples, and there is no biblical basis for this opinion, alot of people that hold this view cling to the verse about not being unequally yoked in marriage, however I never read any verse saying that one race was lesser than another,in fact what Ive read is that All are gods children, and are loved equally, to be unequally yoked in marriage refers to marrying outside of your religion, not ethnic group....does this mean you are racist? well I wouldnt say racist but rather ...misguided, most likely by views held by others in your upbringing, an area in your personal life you may want to work on. peace...dove out
46. Yes youi are a racist and it does not surprise me that you are a christian.
47. yes, you are. but it won't be big deal if you won't start bashing those who practice and/or believe interracial relationships.
48. no, not really, well kind of, okay yes, definately, yes you are racist!
