I don't believe in inter-racial marriages. Hetro--Bi--Gay--lesbian--makes no difference to me.
Does that make me a closet racist?
Just curious.
Food for thought.

Only an individual knows what is in their own heart. I suppose if you have to ask the question, the answer is probably yes. If you're okay with the answer one way or another it doesn't matter what others think.
I do believe people can say things that someone else deems racist, but not be racist themselves. IE political correctness. Again, it depends on what is on your own heart. Only you truly know unless you vocalize it to others. Kind of like your post.
I commend you on your post. I prefer it when people speak their minds. That way at least you know what you are dealing with. I don't typically trust those who are tight lipped all the time.
Being one who is in an inter-racial marriage, when I arrive in TV I will do my very best to stay out of your eyesight so as to not make you feel uncomfortable with the view of myself and my loved one. Seeing 2 people very happy can sometimes make others feel badly about themselves.
As an FYI, I am NOT the least bit offended by your post. Some people are accepting of others and some are not. We are all different people with different points of view.
Best of luck to you with your myopia.
