It's extremely unlikely that Tom was offended. Vivien Send a noteboard - 23/03/2011 09:04:42 PM
I was only being honest, which is something Tom of all people understands. Of course, I also tried to make it entertaining.

No I am not anyone's alt. I had the same username at wotmania, then I left and now I'm back and I'm doing what I can to keep RAFO alive and kicking. I am inspired not only to post here but to make my posts interesting to read for those reading them.

Yes.


While my opinion holds a high positive value, your opinion actually counts for negative points so you've actually strengthened my side.


Are you Cannoli's alt? :P You are hilarious

You're essentially saying you're not going to date a guy because you think he should be dating a black girl. That's ridiculous. Everyone chooses who they want to date.

Furthermore, the whole notion that he should be dating a black girl is a racist notion. It has more to do with a concept of "preserving the black race" or "preserving blackness" or whatever you want to call it, that really should have no place in modern society, any more than an Aryan Nation concept about preserving the "purity of the master race" should.

I would actually find it easier to sympathize with you if you had said, "There are cultural differences between blacks and whites in America that remain and I don't think I have a lot in common with him". That would have been taking the interracial component and explaining why in a purely personal sense it gives you misgivings about allocating your time and energy to a relationship with the person. However, if your personalities are close enough, that should be enough.
