You'd be surprised how alive and well racism really is. I frequently hear people and even friends make negative racial remarks all the time. I'd say most of the people I know make racist comments.

Break it down to what it really was. It was people having a conversation at a table. Nobody was hurt, no violence. Who cares what a bunch a women you'll probably never meet again think? Some people of all races are racist, chances are you'll run into them every once in a while.

I was shocked. As I left, I looked directly at them and  towards them. One of them got pissed, one of them buried her head in shame.
So, tRCMB...what's the deal? Do we talk a good game but don't follow through with it?
Does anyone here...honestly...have a problem with two people of different "races" and sexes having dinner together?

I am white and married to a gorgeous Ethiopian women. I get the death looks all the time from white women my age. We have two kids from her previous marriage and I cannot believe the crap these kids have to go through. Moved to Fairfax Va. for the good public schools, the teachers and program are totally racist and I am disgusted with our two face society. When I schedule meetings with school officials to talk about the problem, they don't know what to do because I am white and accusing them of racism. I don't think or have any hope that racism will ever go away.

"There are few terms used by guilty white liberals, first one is "Happens to be"....
I have a friend who happens to be black, like it's a F****** accident you know?, Happens to be black?
Yes happens to be black?
Had two black parents?
Oh yes he did.
And they f*****?
Oh indeed they did
So where does the surprise part come in?

Hell no it isn't going away, it exists everywhere and in every society. It's congenital in every society. Jewish parents wnat their sons and daughters to marry jewish, Italians want their off-spring to marry Italians catholics/catholics; muslims/muslims etc. Talk to a jewish guy who married a non jewish girl and ask him how the jewish wives of his his jewish friends treat his shiksa wife...it's brutal.

The more insulting terms for non-Jews are shiksa (feminine) and shkutz (masculine). I gather that these words are derived from the Hebrew root Shin-Qof-Tzadei, meaning loathsome or abomination. The word shiksa is most commonly used to refer to a non-Jewish woman who is dating or married to a Jewish man, which should give some indication of how strongly Jews are opposed to the idea of intermarriage. The term shkutz is most commonly used to refer to an anti-Semitic man. Both terms can be used in a less serious, more joking way, but in general they should be used with caution.

This american experiment of a forced diverse society is pure horse ****....people may want the right to live anywhere, but when given the choice they prefer to live with their own.

They'd have a heart attack if their kid went for a black girl. Hell when I lived in the south, my best friend in HS had parents in the KKK, and they had no problems with me openly. Make a joke about Indians though, and they'll complain up a storm
Sounds like the women were venting their issues of being unattractive via her race as a scapegoat. If she was a hot blonde, they'd probably be whispering about all the men going for filthy sluts.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a very offensive person who loves stereotypes  . They're there for a reason. But I don't treat people poorly or make decisions based on race.
It's RCMB tradition, so don't be a moran.

Two of my best friends (first generation Macedonian- and Pakistani-American, respectively) dated white boys for a long time and hid it from their very traditional parents. One eventually ended it because she couldn't stand hiding it from her parents. She's now married to a Macedonian.
The other is engaged to her white guy. Her parents have disowned her. His parents love her. Obviously I don't know how indicative our experiences are of the world at large, but it's interesting to get your perspective on interracial dating beyond black/white couples.
