If you have a preference for your own children's marriage partners based on race - then yes, that is racist, even if you don't want to think so. Why would you think it isn't?

The I guess we live in a racist world Valerie...have you traveled much?

I'm sorry but your absolutism that one has to adhere to all the holy canons of what passes for enlightenment in race issues today rings hollow for me. I see nothing whatsoever wrong with wishing my children to continue the heritage that has preceded them racially, ethically, or religiouly.....and in my case it's rather broad.

I suppose your views would make nearly all Jews racists as well?

Racism is about a hell of a lot more than who one prefers their children to marry. It's about superiority, hatred (damn I hate resorting to that word), political subjugation, discrimination (another overused word).....etc.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one and you may think of me as racist if it makes you feel better. Isn't that what drives altruistic thinking anyway. Feeling better about oneself. Guess we'll have to ask Julia Roberts...LOL.
