Does This Make Me Racist...?

Let me start by saying that I like the East. I like Asian culture, language, philosophy, and of course, Asian women. :P

That being said, I don't ever think I could bring myself to marry an Asian woman. Why? Well, it's no fault of her's...

...I just don't know if I'd want an Asian kid. I had planned on having a single child. I had the (possibly narrow-minded) dream of raising a child in my image (or, at least, of my ethnicity). Y'know, not making a carbon copy of myself, but I'd at least hope my kid would have some sort of resemblance to me.

Am I racist in refusing to persue a serious relationship with Asian women because I don't want an Asian child?

hmm... I suppose a little, I dont think its racism as much as it is some inate desire to continue some family legacy. what race are you?

I actually wouldnt mind a half asian kid, or even a few.. Im sure one of em will look similar to me (kinda like the kids in "four rooms" if anyone has seen it) would have a very pretty daughter or something. guess that thing just doesnt matter to some.

Lol but just cuz the kid is half Asian, that doesn't mean he or she won't look like you lol.

I don't suppose it makes you racist, but I think you're shortchanging your potential relationships if you won't date someone because you're worried about the appearance of your future kid.

Not at all.

I don't understand how you could think that wanting to marry a member of your own race could make you racist.

I don't really have a legacy to continue. It's not like my family always stressed the "you're a *last name here*, and you'll act like it, dammit!" thing.

I'm a bit Polish, Italian and Albanian, so I'm not trying to preserve some single nationality in my family...

if you wouldn't love your own child because of what it looks like then you're an idiot, to say the least.Sexy_Pirate

he never ever said that. learn to read.. or at least stop making assumptions out of thin air.

oh, well that being the case I suppose it has to do with values, you seem to have a pretty set plan on having only a single kid and one very simliar to yourself at that. I dont think its racism, just a different way of satisfying...uh... well I'll just say ego even though its not the right word.

he said he doesn't want an asian child. I am logically assuming that if he had the asian child that he sure wouldnt like it.

That's a stupid assumption. Nobody wants a retarded child, but if they get one, they will love it unconditionally.

I'm going to try to cure you okay? No need to panic while triggerbot Steve is in tha house. Listen to me. You don't like Asians both me and you know that. It's just group pressure from the guys at chemical cleaning next door. I'm sure that it's only your unconscious mind trying to adjust to the environment. A tip to don't go to that cleaning no more. And do not talk to an Asian and most important: watch alot of white pr0n.

Did it help?

Once you fall in love with someone, the looks of your child will matter very little. I speak from experience.

I tend to think ahead about things. A lot... I don't want feelings of pure romance and lust to dictate all of my actions.

To everyone else: I'm not saying I wouldn't love the child-- I would love it unconditionally because it would be MY child. I would just... I don't know how to express it... feel that I was better able to connect with a child that I bear some resemblance to?

Lets say hypothetically, you do happen to have an asian child.......my question is, would you love him/her ?...... disown it ?

Saying that the only reason you don't want to have a baby with an Asian woman is because your child would be Asian, and would have a baby with any other race is yes, very racist.

I dunno if you are racist but you are discriminating against Asian women. Is that wrong? Heck no. I discriminate against fat and/or ugly women all the time and that's ok, but bring race into the mix and suddenly you are in dark water.

At worst I'd say you're being superficial.

1. Everyone is racist, to an extent.

2. This makes you more racist than most.

3. Dont feel bad, its more of a "tradition"-based racism than a racism based off of animosity. You don't want an asian child because it seems wrong, not because you hate asians.

Still, I cant help but hate you more than I have ever hated anyone or anything in the world :roll:

My wife is Asian, and though my daughter is a little darker than I am, she still looks 'white' in her features.

Not really, but I find it strange that you would focus too much on the appearance you want your child to have.

If your child would actually be asian I doubt you wouldn't love it after you get it. Like my dads military friend said yesterday

Farts are like children: Everybody loves their own
