which course of action would have problems DB?

[Islay]

Again I wouldn't choose anything - it is up to the child to choose!!

[Zacs-Master]

Again, would you like to explain your though processes behind choosing 'gay' or 'straight'?

[Islay]

I really want to thank you guys - I have been on such a strict diet for the last 12 days and you have just boosted my ego - it appears that I have lost so much weight I have become invisible!!

Zacs-Master, divebuddy answered that. He said "It's common sense to avoid problems if you can".

[Zacs-Master]

But he hasn't clarified what 'problems'. Are you saying it's common sense to choose that your white daughter marries a white and that your son is straight?

We can but wish, invisible on AB that is.

Zacs-Master, // But he hasn't clarified what 'problems'.//

I wouldn't have thought he'd need to. This thread is about one such problem.

[andy-hughes]

divebuddy - //Both marriages could of course run into problems but the mixed race one has more "potential" problems. //

Your premise is laughable, I am amazed that anyone is giving it a moment's consideration, much less taking the time to respond to it.

Next week - would you rather be invaded by Martians or Venusians - hint, one may cause more problems than the other.

[Zacs-Master]

I would chose whichever partner / sexual orientation I thought they'd be happiest in/as which would not necessarily be white / straight.

[Islay]

Hey AOG the feeling is mutual

[Zacs-Master]

Seriously Naomi, you'd choose white / straight because of the very small chance that otherwise they might encounter problems? Wow.

[naomi24]

andy-hughes to divebuddy, //Your premise is laughable//

No laughing matter for the boy and girl in question.

Zacs-Master

You critise me for not answering your question, well set an example of your none hypocritical stance and answer divebuddy's question.

White or Black?

Gay or Straight?

The choice is yours.

[andy-hughes]

Zacs-Master - //I would chose whichever partner / sexual orientation I thought they'd be happiest in/as which would not necessarily be white / straight. //

You are - to your credit - trying to dignify a farcical scenario by attempting to answer it with reason - which given the scenario, is a complete waste of time.

In divebuddy's world, you must be assumed to be a racist - because you are choosing your own racial bias simply because it is your own racial bias, and for no logical thought out reason - the fertile ground of the racist mind.

//Suppose you (being an average white person) had to select your daughter's future husband from a choice of two. There is nothing whatsoever to choose between the two men. They are both perfect in every way, say. But one of them is white and one of them is black. Given that you MUST choose between them, which one will get your vote.

That'll be the white one, won't it.//

Probably some would - actually definitely some would .

However these parents seem to have objected for reasons more spedific - as in -

'I'll never forget the yelling my parents did, when they expressed how disappointed they were in me, that I could do so much better.''

[naomi24]

Zacs-Master, I doubt the people who encounter such problems consider them as insignificant as you do.

[andy-hughes]

AOG - //Zacs-Master

I cannot believe that anyone is diverting this thread with such utter piffle!
