My point was that being afraid to date someone of a different race because you live in a racist environment panders to this racism. I didn't say everyone should be forced to find a partner of a different race (which obviously worries you... interesting!) and abandon their own culture, just that if they wanted to date someone of a different race and felt they couldn't, it reinforces the racism that tells them they couldn't. Racism is where someone's race becomes a defining factor. I'm arguing entirely the opposite. That people should be allowed to date whoever they want (regardless of race).
IIN I think white guys aren't too eager to date a colored girl?
