In the US, the rise of feminism and the family courts system has turned many men away from marriage in general and away from Anglo women in particular. They say that Latin and Oriental women are more compliant and make better wives (this is strictly hearsay as far as I am concerned). This is clearly short term thinking, considering only their own needs, but it is not surprising that individuals do that.
Miscegenation opens a whole can of worms that any reasonable person would sure prefer to leave sealed. Only the foolishly adventurous would get into this, knowing that it is forbidden in the Bible and was against most State laws until only a few years ago. That should be a clue that there is something not right about it. But youth tend to see such things as challenges rather than warnings, sadly.

This "can of worms" that you refer to...
Does it refer to greater genetic diversity of the offspring, resulting in more disease-resistant children? Because, I think that most *actually reasonable* people would actually probably want that can open.
You racists really love that 'M' word, don't you? Probably one of the few polysyllabic words you learned to spell correctly after dropping out of school.
Oh, and the correct saying is 'opening a can of bees'. Opening a can of worms is, comparatively, not so unpleasant. /pedant
Maybe they don't give a shit what the bible or the unconstitutional & unenforceable state laws say?
That should be a clue that there is something not right about it.
Or, it could be a clue that a bunch of ignorant racists like Dr. D made the rules then.
I love how he equates marriage with white people there. Considering how badly Anglos fucked up Africa and Asia*, I don't think they have the right to call themselves better.
* I don't mean the current Anglos, of course. People in the modern generations had nothing to do with the atrocities of their ancestors. However, I do find it infuriating that the European countries were allowed to wreck entire continents and get NO comeuppance... they aren't even their own continent; they just are under the illusion that the Ural Mountains and the Black Sea make up a continental boundary because they have delusions of grandeur and for some reason do not wish to be associated with Asians, who are just as good people as themselves, in any way... It doesn't seem fair that Africa is one big hellhole from beginning to end while Europe, the reason for Africa's misery, consists mostly of First World countries. It would be more fitting were it the reverse (though that still would not be desirable). So when will all you arrogant Europeans start cancelling the debts foreign countries owe you, boot out the warlords, and fix the menace that you yourselves caused?
Sorry for the rambling; these are just my thoughts.
@Brendan Rizzo: The warlords have proven willing to starve their own people to death rather than budge. You can't fight people like that any more than you can fight the desert sun.
As for this guy... I'll let Greg Proops speak for me.
"The people who talk about racial purity are the people nobody would want to sleep with. 'The white race is the superior race!' I look at him and think, Dear Lord! You have fins and a pointed head! How about adding some of those nice Asian people's genes to the pool?!?"
No, D, white supremacy is not a field of study, and you can't get a doctorate in it, at least in any respectable university.
@Anon
Beekeepers? (They poke holes in the lid, I'm sure).
And then, there's people like this guy . :/

Hmmm, pandora's box of multiracial delights
Dunno, but the one pic that came out was pure feminine loveliness.
Asian girls are so cute & pretty! I wish I was that cute & pretty but instead I'm fat & clunky (but still kinda cute).
"Only the foolishly adventurous would get into this, knowing that it is forbidden in the Bible and was against most State laws until only a few years ago."
Only a few years ago? Try over forty years ago. And that's just in the deep south. Those laws have been off the books for a lot longer in the rest of the country. Dear Sweet-Baby-Jesus-Sleeping-Adorably-In-His-Manger, you people really are still living in the sixties.
@ilmurov
Give the picspam a rest. We've all seen hot Asian women before -- this really isn't the place for that.
"We've all seen hot Asian women before -- this really isn't the place for that."
Hey, it's a break from the usual meme-fest, right?
@Brendan Rizzo - Not all of Africa is a hellhole. South Africa is coming along quite nicely and is still one of the engines of the continent. Botswana, Mauritius, Seychelles and Reunion are models the rest of the continent could learn from. Equatorial Guinea, Namibia and Ghana are coming along in terms of growth. Even Sudan, Ethiopia and Uganga are having good growth now and sunny potential. Nigeria, the Dem. Rep. of Congo and Kenya have the potential to be economic powerhouses of the continent if they could get their act together and end the ethnic and religious infighting and the massive government corruption.
While North Africa is often contrasted with sub-Saharan Africa a lot of people tend to forget that most of North Africa are "banana republics" in comparison to industrialized nations as well.
wouldnt the fact that state laws do not forbid it ANYMORE be an even bigger clue that its no problem?
and where did youbhere that latin woman are more compliant? i know the myth that asian woman are more compliant (not true, trust me ;) ) but latin woman are anything but, except perhaps in your sex fantasies.
not that i mind you staying away from women, that just means more oppurtunities for me.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
