"Race" in College Admission FAQ & Discussion 10

<p>My dad is white. My mom is black. I’m a cute little abomination of nature. <3</p>

<p>So why do you stay silent when perazziman claims that black / white interracial marriage is nonexistent and that its “nonexistence” (untrue) is part of the reason why we need racial preferences?</p>

<p>Is he planning to run for Congress?</p>

<p>My impression of perazziman’s pattern: keep asking fabrizio to provide data while he himself never provide any. And when fabrizio provided sources perazziman didn’t understand, he said he didn’t agree. another LOL</p>

<p>^he or she stays silent because you do not understand what I am saying. </p>

<p>So, about 2% of African American women marry white men in a world where about 7 out of 10 men are white and you don’t think there is a lack of integration problem. In addition, these are statistics for the country as a whole. There are states where in the 60s these types of marriages were forbidden. There are laws in the these states that make defacto segregation possible. Like I said, your problem is you cannot see the difference in cultures.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Please show me where I said interracial marriage is nonexistent.</p>

<p>^I have no interest in this intermarriage topic. I am just continue to see your same pattern on display over and over and over again and am interested in pointing it out for everyone to continue to watch it, and enjoy it as much as I do. (Not kidding, I laughed out really loud when I typed LOL!)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, I actually think having Khmer Rogue blood might give you an edge in admissions if you write the essay correctly. Who knows?</p>

<p>But then again, how does it impact your own life in the way that being black does?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Is that your way of saying that if Rick Santorum said what perazziman’s been saying, you would be all over it, but because perazziman agrees with you on the “importance” of racial preferences, you let his delusions slide?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It’s actually closer to 4%. Apparently, the truth hurts so badly for you that you make 50% of all white husband / black wife couples disappear, wow. Anyway, if you think 4% reflects an “integration problem,” what should it be?</p>

<p>Also, why do you exclude black husband / white wife couples from the discussion? Does 8.5% also destroy your delusion that there is no interracial marriage between whites and blacks?</p>

<p>Lastly, I note that you previously claimed “people who belong to the European White culture will be reluctant to socialize and marry people who belong to [Sub Saharan Africa, far east Asia, native Australian and the Native American] cultures.” Guess you can’t explain why 7% of all Asian husband households involve white wives and why 15% of all Asian wife households involve white husbands.</p>

<p>Edit</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>For all practical intents and purposes, you think it’s nonexistent. My disagreeing with your distorted view of reality led you to claim that I hold, quote, “exaggerated notions of racial integration in America.” There are so many hilarious things that prop up whenever you talk about your fictional version of America. For one, you never talk about Asians, even though you’re from Pakistan. For another, you never talk about Hispanics, even though you live in Texas, where there are many more Hispanics than blacks. For you, America is black and white, where whites hate blacks.</p>

<p>“But you see people affirming your distorted version of reality? Hmm.”</p>

<p>Affirmed! Except for the distorted part.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I don’t see why you’re so passionate about the opinions of some stranger on the internet. I think it’s time for you to calm down.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Then I’ve lost a lot of respect for you if you’re willing to agree with the nonsense that perazziman is spewing. [You</a> live in a state that leads the nation in interracial marriages](<a href=“http://articles.latimes.com/2012/feb/16/local/la-me-interracial-marriage-20120216]You”>California, West lead U.S. in interracial marriages, report finds), yet you agree with his farcical claims that interracial marriage is still taboo in 2013 America?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Oh boy, I feel sorry for you. You’re biracial, and you just sit there silently while others claim people like you don’t exist. Hey, whatever floats your boat. If you want to buy into perazziman’s fictional America, your loss, not mine.</p>

<p>There are loads of people who look down on interracial marriage. I remember quite well a time in the tenth grade when a friend of mine in JROTC told me rather pointedly, “when I see a white girl with a black guy, I think of the girl as a slut”. When I told her that was a racist thing to think, she said that it wasn’t, and all of the white people around her concurred.</p>

<p>That depressed me for a good two hours. <3</p>

<p>“Based on these figures:
White Americans were statistically the least likely to wed interracially, though in absolute terms they were involved in interracial marriages more than any other racial group due to their demographic majority. 2.1% of married White women and 2.3% of married White men had a non-White spouse. 1.0% of all married White men were married to an Asian American woman, and 1.0% of married White women were married to a man classified as “other”.
4.6% of married Black American women and 10.8% of married Black American men had a non-Black spouse. 8.5% of married Black men and 3.9% of married Black women had a White spouse. 0.2% of married Black women were married to Asian American men, representing the least prevalent marital combination.”</p>

<p>It is strange to see who is attracted to who.</p>

<p>White men like Asian women after white, black men like white women after black and Asian women prefer white men after Asian…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure perazziman knows I exist. You’re just strawmanning his position.</p>

<p>But even if you weren’t, I don’t see why some stranger on the internet thinking I don’t exist matters enough to me for me to be visibly emotionally affected.</p>

<p>“Then I’ve lost a lot of respect for you if you’re willing to agree with the nonsense that perazziman is spewing. You live in a state that leads the nation in interracial marriages, yet you agree with his farcical claims that interracial marriage is still taboo in 2013 America?”</p>

<p>Aww, Fab! You had respect for me? Then I take it back! If YOU respect me, then I must be wrong! After all, CC and California represent the mainstream!</p>

<p>But seriously; did he/she say taboo? I don’t think so. Minus two respect points from you. Whats your theory about the numbers? You won’t find mine here. This Is not the place. This is a forum about college admissions. Maybe it should exist in vacuum.</p>

<p>“But you see people affirming your distorted version of reality? Hmm.”</p>

<h2> Affirmed! Except for the distorted part. </h2>

<p>What part is affirmed and what distorted part not affirmed?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Here you’re telling me that you DO care when people say things that are hateful or otherwise flat out untrue about interracial couples. Then sorry, but from my perspective, the only reason you haven’t criticized perazziman is because he shares your support for racial preferences. As cynical as that is, I can’t think of any other reason.</p>

<p>If you want to play buddy buddy with him for that reason, go ahead. None of my business. From my point of view, you’ve admitted that you know what he’s saying does not reflect reality.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Since 70% of men are white, it should be 70%.</p>
