I will correct myself when I said most people dont date outside of their race and not because they cant. At any given time they cant even if they want to.
Here is a breakdown of of popoulation in Canada by Race/Ethnicity.
(Source: http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ca.html#People )
British Isles origin 28%
French origin 23%,
Other European 15%,
Amerindian 2%,
Other, mostly Asian, African, Arab 6%,
Mixed background 26%
Thats 66% whites (caucasian) and 34% non-whites.
Do the math if one person from each group were to date from the other group.
That would leave 32% of caucasians out in the cold. So they have to date within their group or GET IN LINE..Assuming people of date-able age roughly correspond to the overall %.
Oh brother - learn to read. No one is saying people should or shouldn't date out of their race. WE are saying people should have the right to do so if they so choose, without persecution from the community; hence the issue started in this thread entitled "interracial marriage". All of you know, as well as I do - that many in the East indian community refuse to stand for it. The responses are getting more and more simple minded as we go on..my god..
With upto 300,000 immigrants coming in primarily from 3rd world countries , be prepared (i.e open minded) about peoples views. They will form a sizeable chunk of the population and maybe even the majority in the not so distant future.
If you dont like it, leave.

I once made a mistake, but I was wrong about it.

Brother, This is the original question:
----------------------------------
What is your take on Inter racial marriages? What will be your reaction, if your son/daughter decides to marry some one from a different race (Black, white, Chinese etc)?
I think this is a serious issue worth a decision
Timon
-----------------------------------
This is your first post/answer:
(with all the references to physical features within a race )
----------------------------------
If anyone has an adverse reaction to that - they should honestly get the hell outa Canada...I've never dated someone of my "race" before. My last GF was Brunette from Vermont, before that it was an Italian-American girl from New Jersey - before that, a 3 year live in relationship with a blond haired, green-eyed bombshell from Germany - before that a girl from Colombia, before that two girls from Spain - before that, a friend of a friend from France, etc..... This is North America. If you want to stick to your own - go the hell back to where-ever it is ya come from... Just my two cents. Ethnocentricity is a form of social and cultural inferiority.
-----------------------------------
The question was what you think about it and not what you think about what others think about it.
Read, dammit!!!
The numbers above was just something I was thinking about, not a reply to any of your comments.

First of all speaking many languages has nothing to do with open mindedness. And as far as for speaking for North America you SUGGEST to undErstand North America first, you need to do the same for speaking for/against desis. As far as I am personally concerned I do believe that one has to integrate fully in the society to be part of it. I also have friends of different races and nationalities. You didnt get my point. I believe that if a person is thinking different than me that doesnt make me a superior person. By the way just for your information I do speak more than 4 languages but still I believe that doesnt make me superior to a person speaking less than four languages. I also believe in diversity but still don't look down on people or use words like "fresh of the boat" or "peasant like thinking people" who dont believe in diversity.And you have mentioned that you would prefer to call African-American or Korean-Canadian"My people" before you take a preference over someone from India shows how diverse you are in your thinking. IDONT CARE EITHER IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME.
Let me guess, the 4 "languages" you speak no doubt originate in South Asia right? LOL I refuse to accept bigotry from anyone - and as a Canadian whose family has fought for civil rights for generations and helped to mold and shape Canada today - I WILL question your biases and make it my right to tell you to screw off and leave - and you will accept it - or look like a fool trying to justify your inferiority complex by defending bigotry and cultural bias. Have it anyway you like.
So far you haven't made a single point on topic - and you've basically reverted to personal attacks because you have some complex about how I define social and cultural inferiority - despite the fact - IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TOPIC!
Don't make this a pissing contest about diversity - you're seriously unarmed and I really have no interest in being forced to humiliate or offend you. LOL
If you want to run with the big dogs, you'd better learn to piss in the tall grass.

If you think it is your duty, you should not shirk.
Gorda?
