It saddens me that it even has to be a question. I'm a mix of three different continents; I wouldn't even be here were it not for interracial marriage. It baffles me how anyone even Southerners can have an intrinsic problem with interracial marriage simply because two people's ancestry originated in different places.
I COULD see, however, having issues with inter-cultural marriage -specifically cultures that have a habit of mistreating or demeaning one of the members in the union. But even that is case-by-case.

did it not cover the fact that humans are one of several million species on this planet, and that those species were further divided into billions of races?McMarbles said:
I'm totally for it.
Granted, that could be because I am very attracted to men not of my race. In fact, it wasn't until high school that I started finding men of my race aesthetically pleasing. Before that, nothing.
And even now, I'm pretty sure I still find more men that aren't my race more attractive than those that are.
But in spite of my bias, I don't see a reason why not. In fact, it pissed me off once when my mother--who said this to all my siblings--pretty much told me that we could date whatever race we wished but that she wants us to marry inside our race. I blurted out that I might as well not get married then which made stuff awkward for a moment.
We're better now. Mostly I think all the men she had long relationships with were in our race and all basically... weren't worthy. Don't believe she'd really do it but it won't bother her anymore.
But yeah... there's no reason to be against it at all to me. I don't understand why people would.

This really should not be an issue.
Well, unless you are frightened into staying with your own skin colour to avoid roaming neo-Nazis or whatever, which could well be a factor.

The only issue I can see with this is if there are also cultural differences that accompany it, but that doesn't necessarily have to go hand in hand with skin colour, so no, I have no issue with interracial marriages. Race shouldn't be a factor in marriage.
if they love each other then all power to them race doesn't matter only a racist can say something is wrong with interracial marriages. now que racist BAWING in 5..4..3..2..1
So long as it's two human beings, who are not related, and are of a legal age too marry... why do we need to stand in the way of love?
Consider the fact that most of my uncles had married British women (while our ethnic background is Chinese however me and my uncles are British born Chinese), I perfectly fine with it seeing how their children (my cousins) are alright and I favour one of my aunts in laws.
I would not exist if interracial marriages was not allowed. I guess I have no choice but to be for it.
Humans and Klingons are different species.McMarbles said:
There's no such thing as "the human race" the category "human" is a species. A species may contain several races.
Now, I like racism just as little as the next guy, but:
"In biology, races are distinct genetically divergent populations within the same species with relatively small morphological and genetic differences."
-wikipedia
It's pretty clear that different human races exist.
Of course, I suppose there are all sorts of definitions of race you can start referring to if you want to be pedantic.
I'm personally pretty okay with any people who truly care about each other getting married. Race, gender, social status, hair color, none of that should matter but Twue Wuv.[footnote]Yes, I'm a sap. What of it?[/footnote]
Personally, dont care who people date, sleep with or marry, as long as both are happy.
So i have nothing against interracial or same sex marriage and frankly i dont know why people who arent involved care so much about them.
Or trying to get them banned on some flimsy basis.
Mind you, i dont see why been offended actually means anything...
