True. You only report if they're REALLY offensive and it usually takes a minute for them to check on THAT part but it's easier to snip something if you don't agree with it, yeah that's special. NOT! | |

You know, mixed people don't usually take this kind of stuff as a compliment. I've listened to many of them say that this is offensive. It's 2011, and mixed people are still exoticized?
And I've met plenty of biracial people of many backgrounds who were plain janes or down right ugly. Just like the rest of us who are one race, they don't all come out beautiful. [Edited 1/30/11 21:48pm] | |

And? What that mean? Generally speaking, being married to a person of color doesn't mean you can't be racist. I know quite a few folks in that situation.
But like I said, there was nothing offensive about my post and it did not warrant getting snipped and she did not even send me an org note offering an explanation. [Edited 1/30/11 21:35pm] | |

If I was a moderator and my man found you attractive and/or right, I'd snip and ban your cute attractive ass! I think sometimes it's girlie shit involved. That's all. | |

and your point?
I'm not questioning the moderators point of view about race or what anyone else believes. My only issue, SCNLDS non-offensive but direct opinion was censored. It's that simple , maybe I'm missed something. I've read far, far, far worse things typed by others on this board and, nada happens. We shall have different points of view on any given subject. I don't think you can expect everyone to agree nor should I or anyone else get our bras or BVDs in a bunch when someone expresses an opposing views. You debate / rebut, agree to disagree, or get off the boards.

wow, yeah I don't know where that came from.
It seems this whole thread, singling out a single racial mix as somehow more attractive than others (maybe not explicitly saying it, but implying it) is offensive, and that was all you were saying.
I don't know what they thought you said, but as a boring white guy I felt kind of the same reaction as you, namely that I am not exotic and somehow less desirable for it.
I mean, I think there is nothing wrong with having personal preferences, but I am not about to say any race or mix of races is inherently more beautiful than any other. My Legacy

And my point is that SCNDLS is a beautiful woman. So she won't always be mistreated for some bookwormy reason. | |

I do have a preference myself but I find beauty in all shades... I said before fine can come in all shades.
And yes, I concur with folks to state that people in bi-racial relationships can be racist. It happens a lot where I live... and the children suffer.
I have seen that mess wayyyyy too often. | |

Yeah. People that are half asian and half black are pretty fine. Heck anyone that has a mixutre of black in them is fine.

I wasn't sure what I missed, but I have to say because apparently SCNDLS mentioned my name in her post, I asked what her point was, she gave it to me, and I actually think she makes a lot of sense.
Speaking personally, I do celebrate the unique look of the varied types of folk. I make no assumption that all such types are physical ideals. ('Cause, yeah, I've seen some Black-Asian mixes, for example, that could give a child nightmares. ) And I don't celebrate folk to the marginalization of others. I just don't see the sense in stratifying people like that.
But I think SCNDLS raises an important point that people's worth (here proxied by beauty) is so often put on a ladder -- with certain types always seeming to end up on the bottom rung -- that this sort of chat often does inadvertently piggyback on the tradition that certain folk are rendered exceptional or even just remarkable only if they're "upgraded" by some outside exoticizing element. Where that sort of thing happens, it is utter BS. [Edited 1/31/11 11:05am] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

shit i missed it too.
anyway, it's no guarantee that black/asian or any mix is going to come out beautiful or even cute. you get two decent looking people together and you get a decent looking kid. you get two ugly people together or even one ugly person and a decent looking person and it's a toss up with odds going to the ugly gene.
I think Kimora Lee and Tae Heckard are good looking. I think Tiger Woods is ugly. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

If that's all you said then NO, not snip worthy. It's true though, by default being mixed is always considered exotic or beautiful. I've seen plenty non-mixed folk who are beautiful and exotic and plenty mix folk who just look....average. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!
