Why don't people realize this? Hear me out, to get the full scope of what I'm talking about. I can tell if you responded without actually reading what I wrote. I'm genuinely interested in your response, whether it's positive or negative. I thought for some time about this.
Because it's essentially saying that even if someone was the perfect guy for you; you shared common interests, he treated you very well, you found him very attractive, etc. he wouldn't even be an option, because of his race. There's nothing racist if someone happens to only date within their race because out of the people they've met, the ones they connect the best with are within their race. But to say that you only want to date within your race is racist, even if you have friends outside of your race, because it implies that even if you happened to connect with someone very well, you wouldn't think they're good enough for marriage, for a very shallow reason. And just because you haven't met someone outside of your race that you could really connect with doesn't mean that it could never happen.
It's racist to want to stay within your race to "make sure your kids look almost exactly like you" as it is to want to date outside of your race, to "make sure your kids look different from you". they're both just as racist, and superficial. People like this shouldn't even have kids, to pass on such stupid beliefs. If you love your daughter's blonde hair and blue eyes more than you love her personality, or the fact that she's your daughter and shares half your DNA, you have issues.
The whole "preserving bloodlines" thing is complete bull, too. There's no such thing as a "pure" race, as it's been scientifically proven that race doesn't even exist at all; it's just a social concept. It's a faulty social concept, because when you trace people's DNA, it spreads across various continents. And if people truly believed in the "one drop rule" then everyone in the world would be considered black, as humans are originally from Africa. we have different skin colors because of the different amounts of melanin in our skin; a very insignificant part of our DNA as a whole. racism was just created to give white males more power; that's it. for example, it was easy to justify enslaving blacks when you saw them as less than human, as someone of another "race". By the way, by saying this, I'm not saying that I have a grudge on all whites, or whatever. Nor am I saying that all whites were like that back then. I'm just saying historical truths.
It really boggles my mind why race is still an issue in society, especially American society. I understand why someone might be wary to date someone out of their culture, but race and culture are not always synonymous. Also, it's hypocritical for someone to use that to try and justify not dating outside of their race, and yet they may date a white person from Sweden, even though they are from Brazil, or they may date a black person from the Caribbean, even though they are from Australia. You may have grew up together in school with someone of a different race, but you're more likely have more in common with someone from another continent, because you're the same skin color! Am I the only one who sees how silly this is?
It's sad that interracial couples are often treated with disdain, in our society. They're no different from same-race couples, to be honest (granted they became a couple for non-superficial reasons). It just doesn't make any logical sense to me. people shouldn't feel ashamed or w/e, because they're doing nothing wrong
personally, I'm a black girl, but I've been attracted to various guys, of various ethnic backgrounds. I have no preference of the type of guy I marry, as long as he's good looking, we have similar interests and lifestyles, and we connect very well. isn't that how it's supposed to be?Because it's essentially saying that even if someone was the perfect guy for you; you shared common interests, he treated you very well, you found him very attractive, etc. he wouldn't even be an option, because of his race.

I completely agree with you!! I cannot stand people that think the way you look makes you different. Everyone should be treated equally and its awful to think that you are treated differently because of your skin color, that is just so wrong!
I am dating a black kid and I am white. So far the only person thats had a problem is my grandma and its because of how she was raised in the south. My boyfriend is my best friend and he is the most amazing person ive ever met. His skin color is just part of who he is and I personally love that about him.
His dad is black and his mom is white. They have four kids and they are one of the closest and most caring families I have ever met. They dont have problems with the mom being white and everyone else black. When I am with him and his family, the color of their skin never even crosses my mind. Sometimes I forget that hes black.
But anyways, yeah its wrong to discrimate against other races because we are all humans. Im sure you will meet plenty more racist people in your life but there are also many people who treat everyone equally. From watching my boyfriend ive learned that you just have to stay strong and be confident in who you are. Dont worry about the people that were raised to be racist because since they dont want to give other races a chance, they will most likely miss out on meeting some of the most amazing people.

I am on my period and after I got undressed to get into the shower my period got suddenly very heavy. It came out like 3 times with a lot each time. Within 2 minutes. Does this have to do with the serious stress I get from showers? I have a lot of fears of showers. I know that when you stress enough your period can not come but my period had already started. Thank you! (link)

Im not sure if stress has anything to do with it, but that used to happen to me all the time.
Most of the time it would happen after i was laying/sitting down for a long time.
When i would wake up in the morning and get out of bed a ton of blood would come out all at once.
The first couple times it happened it freaked me out.
I just assumed laying down all night made the blood build up and when i stood up it all would drain out.
I found the feeling really gross so i started using tampons all the time and i never have to feel all the blood come out anymore!!!
