Different nationalities, different religious beliefs or lack of them (Buddhist meets atheist), different native languages (Thai and English, though between us we can add four others - Lao, German, French and Dutch), different generations and different cultures.
Love conquers all. I never look at her from a racial perspective. I see a person whom I love very much. She is my wife. She is not above criticism (neither am I) as none of us is perfect, but merely criticising her from the perspective of her skin pigmentation (and the shape of her eyes, I suppose) is in all respects unacceptable.
We also have a lot in common, university degrees, an ability to analyse thoughtfully, an intention not to get trampled upon by anyone. Which given the way the world is turning is not that easy.
And of course we have no children - maybe a source of regret for her, but older men having children is often not good for the child in the long-term and given the way the world is heading, the future for any child could be very bleak.
Today I ran into a number of rancid comments on YouTube which probably emanate from the UK and very probably from supporters of the BNP (or even a more extreme version of them)*. I will not deign to glorify them by copying their logically inaccurate propaganda on here. Their argument (hardly drawn on premises using Aristotelian logic) though runs on the lines that being opposed to racism equals being opposed to white people.
I am white (well beige, well pinkish in places), I have friends who are white. I do not hate myself, I do not hate or oppose my friends.
After an argument with the African guy who lives in the top flat of our apartment block the other day (he was behaving like a jerk accusing me of doing things that I had not done, during which time he three times threatened to kill me. No, it won't happen), I got the comment that I was being driven by a hatred of Africans. At which point my wife, an Asian (see above), got involved - three continents involved here!
An individual case. Not a stereotype.
I went through my mind and recalled the people I have known with whom I studied, met at university, worked with as colleagues or simply got to know socially who came from Africa.
People from Kenya, Zambia, Namibia, Mauritius, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Tanzania, Djibouti, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt. Maybe more.
All good, worthwhile people!
Of course by the logic above I should not be talking to such people, because by their logic by even speaking to them I have become anti-white.
And the people that I have met from India, Pakistan, Hong Kong, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand (needless to say), Cambodia, Laos usw - none of them were "white" either.
So if anti-racist (as I am) = anti-white, then I have to be "racist", therefore I have been talking to a load of people that I should avoid, and ignore!
EMWIV!
The other stupid nonsense involved here is the argument that coloured immigrants are becoming the majority usw. JUST NOT TRUE! This is a fabricated argument that statistically simply does not work. There are plenty of items on the Internet to disprove this. The greater likelihood is that 10% of the population in some countries will be the highest proportion coloured immigrants should ever reach - for the rest it will be less than that. As for inter-marriage the numbers are much smaller.
Not, as in my own case, that should matter.
The sort of propaganda that these people put out would have been appreciated by the likes of Josef Goebbels (substitute whichever race for "Jews", the arguments are very similar - see the Nürnberg Laws and the definition of "mongrels"!).
And what comes next? The burning of anti-racist materials? Burning Barack Obama's books as he was the son of a black man and a white woman? Burning all musical material produced by John Lennon as he married an Asian (Japanese) woman and had a Eurasian son by her? Burning all Mariah Carey material as she had a black father and a white mother?
There are plenty of other examples.
Good, before we get the 1930s back, it is time that these individuals and their arguments are revealed for the 3 billion tons of untreated faeces that they are. "Anti-racist" is not anti-anything else apart from the cancer that it is racism! Well, I suppose, that it is anti-Scheiße and that is about as far as it goes. And if the Fascists out there do not like it, they can go and drown in their own faeces!
* Logic on this - the people who are producing these arguments cannot be identified, and their video material is blocked in Germany. German law is strict on banning the publication of Nazi propaganda, otherwise most anything goes. Therefore it logically follows that this material has Nazi sympathies, wherever they are based. The UK seems the most likely location given the English used and the names of the monikers used, but I will acknowledge that I am wrong if proved otherwise. I have though encountered enough of their type in England to recognise the arguments.
Postscript (December 29th, 2021). Nine years later the African guy in the top flat and I have become great friends and whatever caused the rift? Well we have long since buried the proverbial hatchet. Lesson for everyone?
