If you feel secure under these circumstances and you feel there is a good reason and it's worth the risk to allow your kids to gamble with their lives, then I sincerely wish you luck.The standard definition of racism is the belief that one's race is superior to another or others. So you'd be right.On paper it seems like a sensible question/precaution one should take into consideration. Either way, does it fall within the standard definition of racism to openly declare that you'd rather your children and/or grandchildren shared the same skin colour as you do?
I don't think it does.
I am a realist -- not a racist. In this particular issue I simply do not believe in gambling against the odds. The risk of loss is far too dangerous.
If you were a realist then you would know that the number of the HIV population is still relatively small compared to the general population. There is a small chance of even meeting someone with HIV randomly.
For example: a 20/1000000 is not that significant from a 1/10000000 even though 20/10000000 is 20x more. Both occurrences are still relatively rare.
