(And silly, KBD and I don't count as interracial. He's just ASIAN!! @@)
of course it's not interracial, Asians are the good minority! @@. I had a friend who dated a black guy and her mother actually said "if you can't date a white boy, can you at least date a nice oriental boy?"
Well, she can point out she doesn't have a foreskin.
*snerk*
I've often been tempted to see which one of my mother's bigotries would win out - which is worse, her daughter in an interracial couple or with a girl?
Sometimes it's suprising. Upon finding out about me, TG's 80-year-old grandmother was just delighted she wasn't marrying a black man.
And you should so try out a few experiments to see which prejudice wins!

My mom says, "No BMMW." Meaning Black, Mexican, Muslim, or White.
How about non-Mexican Hispanics?
I think we need some Venn diagrams.
One thing I find interesting is that most of the time I hear about bigotry toward interracial marriage it's black guy/white woman. Yet, just being in stores and stuff, it's not unusual for me to see that combination, but I've almost never seen white guy/black woman. I wonder why that is, is it a just a skewed perspective by me, white woman == beauty prejudice, something else?

I don't think my mom would know the difference.
I remember noticing the same thing back in high school, Gud.
We had a school counselor (white male) who had a photo of him and his wife on his desk, and what stood out for us was not only was his wife African-American (this was unusual for Joliet in 1984), but she was a real stunner of a woman (she could have been a model), and he was such a nebbishy-looking guy, we wondered how he managed to get her to look twice at him.

I sense a Native American loophole there.
You heard it here, folks: if only I believed in God, I would be married by now.
You'd probably have a pony, too. God gives ponies to people who believe in Him.
Okay, the wind just markedly kicked up. I think I need to bring in my laundry before the neighbors get some free clothes.

That is SO not what I was told. I was told that God gives ponies to kids who can pay all the boarding and vet costs themselves because their parents aren't going to do so.
Okay, maybe not God.
