I’m married to a Filipina. Have been for over 30 years. In the beginning, we got a lot of nasty comments. Now, in Arizona at least, no one blinks an eye. But she heard on the radio a few weeks ago that Asians (and presumably Filipinos) are...forget the exact term used, but the idea was that they are surrogate whites who don’t suffer the incredible discrimination blacks receive. So being married to a Filipina now means we are BOTH white!

BTW, in southern Arizona, White/Hispanic marriages are everywhere. As best I can tell, no one notices anymore. That would NOT have been true 50 years ago, but a Hispanic person in Arizona is now largely a “white” person who MAY speak Spanish and who MAY have a better than average tan. There is ZERO discrimination against Hispanics here, where Hispanics are 38% of the population. Note: The county I live in is 3% black.


Side note: As a rule, black guys and white guys in Arizona seem to get along OK. The “Everyone is racist!” crowd seems to be very obese black women. VERY obese! The one slender, beautiful black woman I knew (her black husband was in the military and they were transferred a few years ago) was Christian, had a devoted Christian husband, 3 kids, a Masters degree in a real subject, and didn’t have an ounce of hate in her body!

I wonder - How much of the “prejudice” that is supposedly oppressing blacks is just physical revulsion for a 5’4” 300 lb woman who can’t find a man of any color who wants her?

Hispanics are better at becoming Americans and adapting American values, in other words joining the melting pot that so many others have done. It seems to me that some Blacks just don't want to assimilate, they thinks it's bad.

Make that ...man or woman... and Stacy Abrams will sue yo sorry azz!

You'll probably win, because you didn't say "400 lb".
