There are three kinds of relations within the spectrum of intra-race dealings.
There are the extremes and the middle ground...for our purposes, in that I live my life in extremes, let us discuss just the ends of the spectrum.
Since I am Indian, let me broadly generalize across my race:
There are the Indians that LOVE other Indians, in that they will look the other way on issues they find morally inflammatory if the defendant is Indian.
Then there are the Indians that LOATHE other Indians (usually this excludes their families, but in some cases it does not). They are morally opposed to few issues but will "crucify" the Indian defendant for the mildest of injuries to their sensibilities.
Now what inflames me in all this is the rules of dating as they apply in this context. I have NO patience for the Indians who WILL NOT date Indians based on the sole reason of being anti-Indian. Really, look at your little brown paw, what's with the self-hate?
I am all for interracial dating and marriage--no one is suggesting your soulmate's skin has to match yours--but to exclude yourself from dating your race is WRONG!
I am standing up against it, morally...
Incidentally, I don't believe in soulmates. I am all for souls and mates, even mating for life. As long as babies need not be birthed by me.
I think the title says it all...depends on the mood--my mood!

Remember, one can only be crucified for the sake of one's own faith. And first you have to drag them to the mount.
In other words, you can make an appeal for people to change their values, and your arguments may make a lot of rational sense.
But despite this, people will usually stick to their personal biases. They hear what they want to hear.
The blue ribbon prize for serving up 'personal preferences' dressed up in hypocritical platitudes and double-speak goes, of course, to Christians. . .
marketing tip: there is a mega-website for all blogs located in NYC.
it is called http://www.nycbloggers.com/ and this blog is not listed there.
just fyi to the host who may want to rectify this situation. . .
Glad to see host is not giving in to standard high-pressure tactics from female peers to crank out infants. Watch out, your ex-sorority sisters may have something to say about it.
And beware, your own body may launch a cunning revolt against your vow of personal abnegation, somewhere around age 32--if you can hold out that long without recanting, then commend yourself on your willpower.
But then there is another wave of trepidation around age 35. More frantic, all-out efforts by the womb to complete its mission. The last gasp finally occurs at age 37.
After that, your conscious mind may be able to convince your hormones to shut the heck up.
Just a tip.
interracial dating IS good! interfaith EVEN BETTER... no arguing about whose family to celebrate the holiday with!
i pity those who do not expand beyond people who look like them... sooo many pretty people left off the list...
