Is opposing interracial marriage racist?

[Famous Mortimer]

Honestly, even personally not wanting to marry someone of a different race is pretty racist.

I mean, I'm a hipster. I want to marry someone who has similar interests. More likely than not, that's going to end up being a White person. If I met an Asian/Hispanic/Black/Native person with similar interests though, I wouldn't give it a second though. Marrying someone based on their personality and interests isn't racist, it's just common sense, but if you base it on skin color, that's like the definition of racism.

If "preserving your heritage" is important to you in finding a mate, yeah, that's also pretty damn racist. Imagine if a normal ass White person said that.

It's also pretty terrible to your kids, since your putting pressure on them to carry on "your heritage" whether they want to or not.

A White person marrying a White person isn't racist (necessarily).

A White person marrying a White person because they are White, is racist.

Is it racist if a certain race is most attractive to you?

No one on Earth categorically finds another race unattractive. This is just some BS hypothetical.

Generally, I'd say it's racist along the same lines as what dead0man said (and so many others also agreed with). Ethnoreligions are a tougher case; I'm generally inclined to give much more latitude, especially since I'm the living result of what happens when an ethnoreligious line of descent gets shunted off from one side of a family and spawns a bunch of confused, displaced, [Inks]ed-up descendants.

Yet ethnoreligion, at least amongst whites is pretty much a dead concept in the Upper Midwest and I don't see it causing us any problems.

And, as we all know, if it doesn't cause you any problems, then it couldn't possibly cause problems for or upset anyone. Also, I'm referring to Judaism, BRTD.

What problems do you see out marriage causing? The reactions of racists are the only problems I could foresee and those are better addressed by telling racists to f-off, rather than catering to them and saying, yeah, sure, let's be ethnic separatists.
