Disagree. The commercial is about Cheerios. If you're distracted by the couple then it may mean you're assuming "normal" couples are monoracial. The fact is biracial couples are as normal and prevalent as any other type of couple or partnership.


15 percent is not a high enough percentage to be considered normal.


Why don't you just come out and say it. You started this thread and have yet to make a point about the normalization of interracial marriages. Just say what you really mean instead of making half points here and there that don't really amount to a single coherent thought.


Why didn't they have a black woman and a white man? Why is interracial marriage almost always black men with white women?

Cheerios have been mixing colors for a while.

So interracial marriages are apparently part of "theme" that's on par with homosexual marriage, and we know how he feels about the latter.

Still it'd be nice if he can just come out of his closet and acknowledge some things instead of being so mealymouthed.

Right, but who do they hang out with that is at least halfway entertaining or insightful?

I don't believe that MD said that, but there have been some Republican congressmen who have said things like that. MD isn't far off from wackos like that.

Most interracial marriages are pretty well accepted in American society including intermarrying between whites and asians and other non-similar ethnic groups. Regardless of what tolerance the media preaches black/white marriage is not socially acceptable for everyone and it is difficult on the children. Not every white dad is cool with having a black man for a son-in-law. If you're going to spin it as though everyone on this board and Dan Bernstein is cool with that then you're obviously lying.

I think you were specifically asked how you feel about it. You've still managed to give a non answer.

In my experience, the white parents are usually furious with their daughter when she is dating the black or Hispanic guy, but that guy often turns out to be the favorite son-in-law. Most parents just want their kids to be happy.

Jorr is right I think. Happy kids make their parents happy. I bet though there are many people my age or older that grew up where I did in Chicago that wouldn't want this. Many flat out racist to be sure. Others I know would say they really do not dislike or otherwise discriminate on race but would prefer their race/ethnic heritage carry on.

MD,

Rather than try and claim that people are trying to spin things in a way that they are obviously not doing, why don't you just answer the question I posed to you instead?

I think my affiliation with the Crew makes us undesirable. I'm giving y'all a bad name.

But this is different than what MD is implying, who seems to favor imposing a sort of "natural order" to the social world, in which the color of one's skin determines the normative status of relationships, and whether they are normal, acceptable and/or "natural." There's a bunch of pseudoscience that was used to back this up a long time ago, and I wouldn't be surprised if he submits to such theories.
