What part of "across the world" do you not understand, Unkotare? Regional (US in this case) data doesn't even come close to giving us a fair overview of the bigger picture.
Actually, your "across the world" bullshit is just a dodge, put in there because you KNEW already that interracial relationships are becoming more and more accepted and common in the advanced world, the world you live in. You see it all around you there in the U.K., just as we see it on this side of the pond.
Your position is that rejection of interracial relationships is somehow natural. If that were so, we should not see large-scale acceptance of interracial relationships
anywhere. The fact that it cannot be (yet) proven as becoming more common
everywhere thus becomes irrelevant. The fact that this is happening in Western Europe and North America is sufficient to prove you wrong.
Sorry, Dragon, but I'm going to have to mark you down for being a pussy. But before I begin beating you about the classroom, let's backtrack a little, eh.
Your first post in this thread was vague to say the least. You were the one who became annoyed when I set fair parameters that would enable us to enjoy a fair overview of the bigger picture. Seeing as conscious human beings don't just live in the utopia of "social progression", I thought it necessary - not to mention fair - to not limit our focus to the western world. You know, in the interest of fairness. For instance, if we wanted to establish a fair overview of what the world wanted for dinner tonight, it would be incredibly insular of us to just ask the western world. You're just pissed that I reclaimed the thread's momentum from your politically correct clutches. You were forced to re-consider. Tough. Besides, how was I to know there wasn't any "global date" available to validate that, as a whole, the world prefers interracial over homogeneous relationships? At any rate, you claimed that racial preference (or to gloss it over in political correctness: freedom of association) arose from racism. I disagreed. You then snivelled because, in the interests of fairness, I included the globe's entire population, instead of just a portion of it. You can't pick and choose in a debate of this nature. I could also argue that I assumed, on the basis of mutual fairness and equality, that you wouldn't limit yourself in terms of scope.
My guess is that you knew that you already knew that the world as a whole wouldn't reflect a whole lot of "social progression". On account of that, only a fool would think that their argument would stand-up when exposed to the entire spectrum. Perhaps the world beyond your Gallup and USA Today polls doesn't have much time for social progression (or just doesn't care) in terms of who they date, marry of fuck.
PS. Could you show me where, apart from the "socially progressive" western world, you're likely to encounter "widespread acceptance of interracial relationships"? Or how rejection of them is somehow unnatural? You know, in the interests of fairness - which are core to debates like these.
