I am writing this entry because someone asked me to explain the difference between race mixing and homosexuality. I have often heard people on the left try to compare homosexuality with race mixing, and some have insisted that there is no difference. So as simply as possible I am going to address this issue.
First of all, comparing race mixing with homosexuality is extremely insulting to people in interracial relationships, and when you are trying to build a case for a particular cause, it doesn’t help to preface your arguments with insults directed at the people you are trying to convince.
The difference between a homosexual relationship, and a heterosexual multiracial relationship, is that one is homosexual and the other is heterosexual. In one situation you have an opposite sex couple, which is what our biology and biochemistry is designed for, and on the other hand you have a same gender pairing, which is not biologically feasible. Natural sex and reproduction are out of the question with homosexuality. In order to engage in those behaviors one must buck the natural design of their body and use their body parts in ways that they were not designed for, which can result in physical damage and health risks.
Interracial marriages and relationships may not always be the obvious match, but they are still natural and do not require one to place body parts into orifices that were not designed to receive them. Race mixing is actually more healthy than same race pairings as you are less likely to reproduce defects that are already in your gene pool by coupling with someone from a more distant gene pool.
But to be fair, I know why some liberals like to compare race mixing to homosexuality. In the past race mixing was often condemned in the US (as far as they are taught), and they use the image of US history given to them by public education as a microcosm of the world. In the past race mixing was indeed often frowned upon in the US, and in some cases it could be fatal. The most shunned form of race mixing was the black male with the white female, and in the south black men were sometimes killed for it. So, the liberal thinks that as those relationships were previously stigmatized and are now largely accepted, the same will occur, and must occur with homosexuality.
However, even though I follow their train of logic, there is still no validity in it. The impetus that causes a man to seek out or pair with a woman of a different race is not at all the same force that compels a man to seek out another man. Race mixing occurs because of physical attraction, cultural attraction, and supply issues. Homosexuality occurs because a normally functioning sex drive either does not exist or is being suppressed. In addition, the liberal theory is based on faulty premises. Race mixing is not something new, and it is not something that has been universally condemned. Nor is race mixing condemned for the same reasons that homosexuality is (when it is condemned).
Homosexuality is typically condemned on the grounds that it is unnatural and/or morally wrong. Nature arguments are derived from biology while moral arguments are typically derived from religions.
Race mixing is condemned for the following reasons:
1. Resentment of competition–When the opposite gender, or desirable members of the opposite gender are at a premium, then additional competition is anything but welcome. While I do find this factor to be understandable and reasonable, it has no bearing on whether the act is right or wrong.
2. Cultural Differences/Ethnocentrism–Race and Culture are not the same things, but cultural divides are often racial as well. There are people who shun race mixing, and marrying into other cultures in general, because they feel that their culture is superior and wish to pass it on to their offspring undiluted, or they believe that their culture is incompatible with others, which would result in an unpleasant and fractious union.
3. Quality Control–There are people who believe that their race is superior to all others, or to certain groups, and as a result do not wish to mix with other groups out fear that the offspring will be of reduced quality. For that reason they oppose race mixing.
Race mixing is not something new:
In fact race mixing is not even something relatively new to US history. While black-white pairings may have been condemned, white people in the US have been mixing with Native Americans throughout the entire history of the country, although not to the same degree as Latin America. In fact the southerners, who are often stereotyped as being the most racist, are probably the most heavily mixed with Native Americans.
But race mixing has been going on for much longer than the US has been around, and there are some populations and civilizations which have existed as fusion groups throughout all of history. Here are some samples off the top of my head, which anyone can easily research and confirm independently:
The Tuareg people of the Sahara:
The Tuaregs span multiple countries in the Sahara, and do not have a country of their own. And yes, I do support Tuareg independence/nationalism/self determinism. In any case, the Tuaregs are a fusion of the Caucasoid North Africans, and the Negroid Sub-Saharan Africans. The nomadic lifestyle of the Tuaregs brought them into contact with black Africans below the Sahara, while the more sedentary and highly civilized populations of the north remained relatively isolated from their negroid neighbors to the south of the desert.
The Habasha people of Ethiopia:
Ethiopian civilization was created by Semitic Middle Eastern Arabs colonizing the Horn of Africa and founding a civilization there. They mixed with black Africans and today they appear as a fusion of the two groups. The language they speak is a Semitic language, and it is related to Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic. They are the only Semitic civilization in Africa.
The Nubians/Sudanese:
I don’t know how applicable it is to call these people Nubians given that they speak Arabic now, but these people are descended from the Nubians. The people are black Africans with Egyptian admixture. They are right next to Egypt, and as a result there has been intermarriage.
The Tatars of Russia:
The Tatars were formally nomadic groups of people which can be found in Russia and China. They are a fusion of Caucasoid and Mongoloid, as is evidenced by their facial features, and are part of the Finno-Ugaric language group. Tatars also exist in Lithuania and Poland as a result of invasion, and still bear semi-Mongoloid traits even in those places. Tatars were fierce warriors, and were considered a scourge by medieval Europeans.
The North Indians:
The North Indians, which I believe comprises the majority of India, are a fusion group. Originally India was a brown sub-continent, now it is brown and beige. India was invaded by a group of white Indo-Europeans known as Aryans, who also brought Hinduism. They settled in the Indus Valley and gradually spread east and south. They mixed with the natives produced a variety of different shades, and it is quite common to see one family bear children who have a variety of different tones. It is also worth noting that when the English and Portuguese colonized India they married into the population quite frequently.
The Mexicans:
The final example I would like to cite is Mexico, our neighbor to the south which uses us as both a pressure release valve for their malcontents and a market for their drugs. Like India, Mexico is full of the results of white people mixing with brown people. In the case of Mexico the primary reason for it was the reticence of Spain to send women to the new world, and the impatience of the men there to wait for the arrival of Spanish women. They mixed out of a desire for women, and they took what was available to them.
Even as I wrote this many other examples kept popping into mind, but my point is that race mixing is not something new, it is not something unnatural, it has happened and does happen on a mass scale, and it happens for entirely different reasons than homosexuality. I don’t know how I can make it any more obvious. Race mixing is 100% biologically supportable, natural, and happens on a mass scale, unlike homosexuality. Also, we are still talking about male female pairings. Let us not lose sight of that fact. The normal natural thing is for men to be attracted to women and vice versa. Our physical morphology and biochemistry is geared for that. As physical appearance and temperament varies so do preferences regarding those things. One guy may seek after certain behaviors, facial features, skin tone, hair color, and eye color, while another will have different preferences. If everyone liked the exact same kind woman then we would all have unprecedented supply issues, so it is necessary for different guys to have different preferences.
