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.
IMO, definition of "racist" goes back to the 1800's when the Europeans went to Africa to capture the black natives to sell as slaves in the new world (America).They held the belief that they were "inferior" to the white establishment of that time. That to me, is where the term "racism" came from. I'm glad that there are inter-racial marriages, it's hopefully creating a different mind-set to their children of equality in the races to that they'll bring into their future.
