Racism Survey.... Would you:

1) Date/Marry someone of a different colour? I am a white agnostic, my boyfriend (soon to be fiance) is a Turkish Muslim, so YES.

2) Adopt a child of a different colour? YES. We've discussed adoption, because of my medical issues. We both have no issue with having a kid of another color/race.

3) Allow your child to date/marry someone of a different colour? ABSOLUTELY. And in accordance with everything in the supreme courts here in the states today, they can marry someone of the same sex too, and I would still love them just the same.

4) Accept a vital organ transplant/allow a family member to do so if that organ belonged to someone of a different colour? YES. It's life and death. Plus I think the organ donor registry doesn't disclose that information, but I could be wrong.

5. It's color, not colour.

Only if you're an American.

1) I did... didn't work out but that was not the question
2) I have children, if I had the means and decided to adopt-- Yes
3) Of course
4) YES!!... Can we even tell the difference in our organs the color of the donor?

1) Date/Marry someone of a different colour?
2) Adopt a child of a different colour?
3) Allow your child to date/marry someone of a different colour?
4) Accept a vital organ transplant/allow a family member to do so if that organ belonged to someone of a different colour?

I ask these questions, because they came up in a conversation with my (now-ex) BF, and I was completely SHOCKED at his answers.

For me: it's a "yes" to all 4. I really don't care if you're black, white, red, yellow, or blue. Unless you're blue because you're choking. Then I'd probably help you.

1. I already am.
2. I have a mixed child, so I don't see why not.
3. Love is love.
4. Yes

I can't believe this question even needs to be asked.

5. It's color, not colour.

Only if you're an American.

What is there besides America?

'MURICA

im racist against the word colour. Its color. America destoryed everyone, you must speak out language. We own the internet! lol.

I'm going to find it difficult to adhere to speaking out language, whatever that is.

it's easy! just come out of the closet and SPEAK!

is dropping the capitalisation of the first letter in a sentence part of the grammatical rules? even typing this is pissing me OFF!

5. It's color, not colour.

It's "Colour" in the Canadian dictionary.... & that's the one I'm working with! LOL

You're Canadian? I'm sorry, but your survey is invalid...

But to answer your "survey",
I date people i'm attracted to.
I would not adopt.
I want my children to be happy.
Irrelevant.

1) Date/Marry someone of a different colour?

My husband's skin colour isn't exactly the same as mine. He tans and is a kind of medium beige colour. I'm also beige but I have freckles (light brown ones) and don't tan easily at all. And his hair is darker than mine. Does that count? And he's more hairy than me.

Also, my great x2000(ish) grandmother was a cro-magnon (Homo sapiens) and my great x2000(ish) grandfather was a neanderthal (Homo neanderthalensis) (among many other similar relationships). They were not even the same species, and mixed species relationships beat mixed race relationships by a lot.*

*this applies to approximately six sevenths of the world's population, and for quite a few also includes interbreeding with the Denisovan hominid, and if I was a betting person I'd bet that they'll find Homo erectus genes in modern humans as well sooner or later. And discover some other species of human and find out that their genes are also found in some modern humans. The fact that we're not even a pure species makes the whole idea of racial purity beyond ridiculous. (aside from the fact that even if we were a pure species, there'd still be nothing wrong with mixed race relationships...)

2) Adopt a child of a different colour?

I gave birth to a child who's a different colour to me. She's ginger, I have brown hair. I have very pale skin, she has even paler skin than me. In fact although she was born without hair, I knew she'd be ginger by the extreme paleness of her skin. There was just something about her skin which said "ginger".... I my ginger baby :flowerforyou: and my other baby who actually is pretty much the same colour as me :flowerforyou:

If I was going to adopt a baby, then I wouldn't really care what colour the baby was

3) Allow your child to date/marry someone of a different colour?

I think it would be unfair to restrict her to marrying only ginger, extremely mega pale skinned people. She doesn't have freckles either, so that would make her colouration rather different to other gingers, so I think it would be extremely difficult for her to find anyone to marry at all if she was limited to only those the same colour as her.

4) Accept a vital organ transplant/allow a family member to do so if that organ belonged to someone of a different colour?

In that situation the last thing on my mind would be the ethnic origin of the person donating it. So long as the tissue type is a reasonable match and the organ is safe and suitable, I couldn't care less.

I ask these questions, because they came up in a conversation with my (now-ex) BF, and I was completely SHOCKED at his answers.

For me: it's a "yes" to all 4. I really don't care if you're black, white, red, yellow, or blue. Unless you're blue because you're choking. Then I'd probably help you.

I like your attitude and I'm glad your ex BF became your ex BF. Good move :drinker: And if he's stupid enough to turn down an organ transplant that could save his life because of the "colour" of the donor then frankly all I can say is "natural selection".
