re: my previous post -- I really must stop posting under the influence. Why doesn't anyone ever warn me?

I don't think there's anything wrong with black grandparents hoping their kids are black, nor for Asian grandparents to hope their grandkids are Asiatic looking, or for <fill in the blank>, etc etc etc. Thanks to the white power/black power/whatever power morons, we have this idea that it's wrong to have a preference for your own race. It's not wrong, and it shouldn't be equated to "racism" in the negative sense.

If you don't care whether or not your kids look like "your people", that's great. Your dating options have widened dramatically. But don't feel guilty, and don't project negative racist intentions on others, if you or they have a different preference.

[ymmv][semi-rant]Not everything deserves or requires a 60s revolution-style backlash. I can't wait for the hippies/self-proclaimed radicals to get old enough to move to Florida and play shuffleboard, and stop making mountains out of molehills. You made your points, and some of them were good ones, but it's now time to feel something other than rebellious selfrighteousness for awhile.[/semi-rant][/ymmv]
