I Think Bi-Racial Is A More Accurate Term

[NYBURBS]

I don't really see anything offensive about it, if it's simply used as a descriptor. What would be offensive is if that is all people used to define him, as in nothing but his race mattered.

Reading is fundamental....

right....

That makes him mulatto. Or if that is too harsh a term, bi racial.

both of you are slow

hes sow for thinking hes being rasict, and you are for harping on something that isnt an issue, especially to those of whom the comment MAY offend.

As far as I know, mulatto is just a term for someone of black & white mixed race. Bi-racial is more generic & could work with any 2 races. I'm sure people have used the term in a derogatory manner, but I'm unaware of the term being derogatory in itself.

Well, contrary to popular belief, he sure ain't black!

The Ku Klux Klan teaches that the mixing of white and black people would create a race of mongrels. Isn't it ironic that when you mix black and white people together, you get some of the most beautiful people?

I think mixed children, especially girls, are absolutely adorable. They look like little island kids. I'd love to have a few. I had a relationship for years with a girl who was black and white. She's was one of the most beautiful girls I had ever known. Then she turned Catholic and would no longer see me because I'm an Atheist. Tis tis ... there are many shades and colors of prejudice. It's not only a racial issue.

How true. Palin wants creationism taught in the schools. After the republicans stack the supreme court, this anti-scientific bias will become a reality, as will the continuation of the restrictions on stem cell research, and the right of a woman to her own body.
