thinking that you need to keep your race "pure" is RACISTBreaking news didn't say anything racist. To keep a race pure is not racist, it is about preserving a race. Some Blacks (and others) think the same. It does NOT make them racist to want to preserve their race.
i have a hint for you, if you are more than a 1st or 2nd generation american, the chances you are "pure" anything is remote
Racism:
1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2: racial prejudice or discrimination
Nothing he/she said fits these definitions. Keeping a race 'pure' is NOT racist, it does not fit what defines racist or racism.
And there are plenty of Americans that have a 'pure' race. Just because there are some that don't still don't mean there are none. Even American Indians still have a 'pure' blood line. Some have made sure of it, same as some Whites, Blacks, and other racest have.
A quick "guideline" about arguing on the internet-- when you post a dictionary definition to support your argument, at the very least you should delete the part of the definition that flatly contradicts your argument.
So in this case, you should have deleted number 2.
