Here is the thing that I don't get. If whites looked down upon African Americans and thought they were not good enough to be treated the same way as the whites, then why are they so desperate to have sex with blacks? Wouldn't it be logical for the whites to feel disgraceful for having sex with people who they viewed so lowly of? I'm not saying that whites, indeed, are superior than African Americans because I don't! I'm just trying point out that it does not make sense how it is okay to have sex with them while whites don't even want to have conversation with them because they are colored. It doesn't make sense how whites have sex with pleasure with people they ignore so much. I'm just questioning white men's consciousness that they are not feeling disgraceful when they are having sex with people they don't even treat as human beings. I know I'm being repetitive with my thought, but I want to be cautious so that I wouldn't sound racist because that is not my intention. And the funny thing is that whites are against intermarriage. If you are having sex with them as much as you want why are you against intermarriage? Inter-sexing is okay but intermarriage is not? Obviously, whites do not make sense. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/23/magazine/23wwln-lede-t.html scp=1&sq=mixed%20african%20americans&st=cse
The link above deals with intermarriage, which makes a point that people will become uncertain about their identity because of intermarriage. After making African Americans forget about their true identity already, they are coming to a realization that they need to worry about the issue now.
There is a Korean lady I know. She and her husband, who is white, fell in DEEEEEP love and got married. However, I could tell how racist he was against Asians. Whenever this couple came over to our house, he said racist jokes against Asians. Thankfully, my parents cannot speak English that well and the lady is not as fluent to understand his jokes. But not me. I understood his jokes and I was not laughing.

Wow! Very intense post, Ellen! I love the passion with which you write and the connections you make. What do you think is wrong with the white man who married a Korean woman yet seems to hat Asians??!! What might he be seeking from their relationship? Think it out a bit more just to see if you can gain any insight from wondering what motivates these people.
It was surprising to see that he was racist towards Asians at first because he loved Asian culture and food.
