"Still, Smith sometimes questions if she's being true to her black identity. "

I understand this statement. I'm not in an interracial relationship because i want to be true to my white identity. I know some nice black wemon, but i don't think i'd ever hook up with any of them. I realize i'm unique in wanting to preserve my heritage and history, which includes passing the genes down. Am i a racist for this stance? well, i think of myself as more of a culture preservationist. This is just my own personal standard, and i realize alot of people don't feel this way, so i respect thier choice. My brother is married to a black woman, and we all get along great!

". I'm not in an interracial relationship because i want to be true to my white identity."

i think this would have made more sense if it went, " I'm not in a same race relationship because...."

duh!

Ultimately, my wife and I decided we had more in common culturally than we had differences. We were both American, after all.

i realize alot of people don't feel this way, so i respect thier choice.

If only more people shared this attitude, the world would be a happier place.

Two facts:

1) You're going to pass your genes down to your descendants, no matter who you marry (oops, silly me, I still think in terms of marriage and family. ah well, those who don't can adjust).

2) Your descendants are going to be of mixed race. Your children won't be, but your grandchildren may well may. And if not your grandchildren, then your great-grandchildren.

In fact, given that your family has already cracked the interracial barrier, your descendants may go interracial pretty darn soon, no matter how white you might want your family to stay. But even if your children are of the same mind as you are, given trends in American society, white, black, hispanic and oriental are all going to get widely mixed together. It's simply a matter of sooner vs. later.

I am both black and white, is that a bad thing? The key is that it does not matter what color Americans are, but whether they retain the unique Western values. I have all the respect for dignified middle class people. I have no respect for trashy, low class people who lives in South Central Los Angeles who partipated in the riots ten years ago.

Remember, always judge the person by his character, not the skin color he happens to be.

I am neither an African American, or European American. Heck, I am not even Eurican American, I am an American, period.

Seems that liberars aren't the only ones who can come up with clever PC ways of saying things. :)

I don't think that's racist, just like I don't think it's racist if other people (African-Americans, Chinese Americans, Mexican-Americans, etc.) prefer to marry people who share their ethnic heritage. But, I don't think people should try to force others into having that same opinion by, for example, yelling at "interracial" couples on the street, which is something you obviously don't do.
