re: #170 Mich-again

A quick litmus test is to ask them what they would think of their child marrying a person of a different race.

But still, they may not consider themselves racists if they say they wouldn’t want it. I had a terrifyingly funny online conversation once with a man who insisted that it was all about language groups and culture, and that “Indo-Europeans” should marry “Indo-Europeans”. No hate involved, mind you, just a fact of life.

He determined that I was a ‘mongrel’, and hoped he was not hurting my feelings by saying so. (I assured him I felt fine.)

I then asked him to choose between his son bringing home a Pakistani girl (Indo-European Urdu) and a Finnish girl (Finno-Ugrian Finnish). He never answered.
