I don't know what Kobe's like in his personal life. I would have no problem with my daughter marrying anyone of any race (not that I have a daughter) as long as he was a good guy.

I've dated black women in the past. You're the racist buddy.

Stupidity level just keeps increasing. Why would I mind if she did? If she loved him and he made her happy then I would be happy. You really are an out an out racist, no question of it, and like most out and out racists totally free of brain cells.

So why would you mind if your daughter married him? Because of the colour of his skin? Why? It doesn't rub off you know, she won't catch it.

There are lots of people who do not want to date people of a given race and they can argue that it is their preference, but if it is merely based on ethnic origin, they're racist. If you only want to hire male doctors without taking female doctors' skills into account, that would constitute sexism.

by definition you are absolutely correct.
i am asking why, why do people see it as a problem? once again if government was discriminating then it would be a huge problem and I am definitely against that, but on a personal level....

Fortunately, people (dumbasses) like abracadabra are slowly dying out. I think we'll see less and less of 'em in each successive generation as the world gets increasingly grayer.

I wonder if he/she knows that interracial marriage often leads to physically stronger and better-achieving children, a concept known as hybrid vigor.

On a personal level you are entitled to make your own choices. I hang out with people of all races and always have. It's just the way I was raised. It's also my personal decision to not want to have anything to do with people like you mate.

And often good looking ones at that. I know everyone is racist (I would have a bigger problem with my daughter marrying him because he is American ) but people of this level of stupidity are fortunately rare.

I think you'll find a few - most British are incredibly mixed race just mostly white (Roman, Viking, French, Angles, Saxons, Brits, Celts, etc etc).

If you want black Nobel prizewinners - Nelson Mandela?

Yeah, people of mixed race are often very attractive. I think Dominican women are perhaps the most beautiful of all. They're a mixture of Caribbean Indian, Black and Spanish.

Since "American" is not a race, that doesn't make you a racist. I guess the correct term would be a nationalist, but that term's already been taken.

Unfortunately, there are still a lot of dumbasses out there, but they are dwindling in numbers day by day. I recently watched a documentary on the Neo-Nazi "skinhead" movement in Alabama and Georgia and they are still a significant force to be reckoned with. Still, they pretty much have to hang out on the fringes of society. When they tried to have a KKK rally in NYC a few years ago, only 4-5 of 'em showed up and they were surrounded by angry people from minority groups.

Think the whole world is sort of racist in a way, some just express it more freely.
