Should interracial marriages be allowed?

[Alcon]

Generally I don't believe in it, but I don't think it should be banned. I mean, if some fat white girl wants to "marry" a thug, I don't really care.

Now, if my sister (not that she's this dumb) were to so much as go out on a date with a black guy, there would be a problem.

I believe in diversity and pluralism. Thus I support the survival of all ethnic groups, American whites and blacks and all. Some people are racist-- they want to eliminate the many ethnic groups in favor of a uniform race.

Indeed, some people are racist. One of those people is you.

Um yeah whites and blacks are both homo sapiens, i.e. the same species.

BUT, the subgroups of homo sapiens are VERY different from one another. Some people don't even accept that obvious fact.

Once you do, there still is the question of how it is relevant. I think it's relevant in many ways, but PC gets in the way.

Subgroup? Hmm? And what scientific subgroup would blacks belong to? Levels of skin pigmentation are not really an acceptable differentiation between varying species. That's like arguing that a black cat is a different species from a white cat coming from the same parents. It's just all about genes.

And if by "very different," you mean skin pigmentation, you have fairly poor perspective on biological differences, although this is not my realm.

I recall reading about a scientific study that was researching the topic of how different races are from each other.  The scientist had people look at a group of bones, and take a guess at the race that each bone's owner was.

The number of correct responses given was no larger than what one would expect to get if completely random answers were given.

There obviously are differences between the races, but they're only skin deep.  Blacks can be sophisticated, and whites can be gangsters.  Asians can be untalented, and hispanics can be extremely talented.  The perceived difference is largely a cultural one more than anything: it's the same reason as why Australians act differently than Americans, who act differently than Canadians, who act differently than the English, etc., even when all people considered from each group are white.

You're quite simply wrong. It's clear you know virtually nothing about science. Pulling stuff out of your ass doesn't make a valid argument.

Nor does, by the way, posting something calling another poster wrong and not backing it up. That just ends up making you stupid.

And, AuH2O, can you link me to studies that prove that being black naturally makes people more likely to commit crimes from a reputable organization? I actually am interested in this.

Also note that the crime issue can easily be proven statistically with only the FBI uniform crime report and income data with racial AND gender breakdowns. Anyone with an IQ above 50 should see as much once they examine the data; tragically, I'm not sure anyone disagreeing with me on that issue meets the qualification.

You have, yet again, failed to actually provide a link to your sources. Also, someone with an IQ below 50 would not be capable of posting here, let alone examining and evaluating scientific data.

[Alcon]

Fine, you want evidence, I'll give you some evidence. With some explanation of course.

But no one will actually take a rational look at the data. That is a 100% certainty.

Being that this is the third time I've had to ask you for a link, it's pretty obvious that I want evidence.

If by "rational look at the data," you mean viewing it to contribute to the discourse, then I am 100% certain I will do just that. But if you mean "rational look at the data" as in just automatically agreeing with you because you gave me a link, you're right - I'm 100% certain that will not happen.

Men commit more violent crimes than women.

Well, yes, but there is a clear biological explanation behind that (the presence of more testosterone).

This is an area I know little about, but even I know that.

[Alcon]

It will be a few minutes. I changed my mind-- please continue to attack me rather than at least wait to see what I most post.

Your maturity is impressive.

Feel free to not reply until you have found this information instead of saying that we'll never believe it.

Well, yes, but there is a clear biological explanation behind that (the presence of more testosterone).

And AuH2O is saying there's a biological reason blacks commit more violent crimes than whites. Even if it's true, so what?

That is a point, but I would like him to prove that there is a biological reason first before we burn that bridge.
