This makes absolutely no sense. Tell me HOW I was using numbers to "justify" racism??? I wasn't attempting to "justify" anything -- there was no judgment involved on my behalf. I simply was citing the results of scientifically compiled studies. Observation of the fact that a higher percentage of interracial marriages end in divorce is not an expression of, or attempt to "justify," racism. It merely is empirical data logically confirming the premise that couples of like background are
more likely to have successful marriages. It most certainly is NOT a racially motivated condemnation (by me) of mixed marriage, as you seem to be implying.
Certainly, there are many successful interracial marriages and that's great. But going back to
@1960Pats' rhetorical question starting all this: yes, it appears that partnering with someone you share fundamental things in common with -- including race, religion and culture -- is sound advice, giving you better odds of succeeding over the long haul. Most folks would call that basic common sense vs. racism. But if you want to see it as racist, knock yourself out.
