Teasing a little boy about his sexuality is no way to ensure he grows up to be a good man with strong character. Any stigma you and your friends cast upon him may end up following him around, and he could end up being either a bully (to disprove the gayness) or fodder for predators.

What positive (and constant) male influence does he have in his life?

You're an idiot. I don't and never would tease my son. As a matter of fact I chew his father a new one for calling him a "girly man" when he gets upset about something. I joke about it with my sister and my friends because it's comical to see a little boy who's so concerned with his clothes and shoes. Maybe he'll grow up to be the next Ralph Lauren? :shrug: If anything I embrace his young personality and encourage him to act naturally as opposed to shoving down his throat the things that little boys "should" like.

legal history

In 1958 Richard Loving and Mildred Jeter married in Washington, D.C. and returned to Virginia together as husband and wife. Richard was White and Mildred was Black. The problem arose in that since 1961 Virginia banned interracial marriages. The Lovings were prosecuted under a statute enacted in 1924 entitled "An Act to Preserve Racial Integrity." The statute said that in Virginia no White person could marry anyone other than a white person. The law made it a crime not only to enter into an interracial marriage in the State of Virginia, but it also criminalized interracial marriages outside the state with the intent of evading Virginia's prohibition. Furthermore the law stated that children born out of such a union were deemed in the eyes of the State to be illegitimate and without the protections and privileges accorded to the children of lawfully wedded parents.
The Lovings pleaded guilty to violating the Act and were sentenced to one year in jail, though the trial judge gave them the option of avoiding incarceration on the condition they leave the State and not return for twenty-five years. During the course of the proceeding the trial judge asserted that: "Almighty God created the races of White, Black, Yellow, Malay, and Red, and He placed them on separate continents." "And but for the interference with His arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages." "The fact that He separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix."
After Virginia's Supreme Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction the Supreme Court of the United States reversed the decision on the grounds that the Constitution of the United States prohibits states from barring interracial marriages. In so doing, the Supreme Court invalidated similar laws in fifteen States. Thus, as of June 12, 1967, interracial marriages were no loner illegal in any State.

My two cents...

As someone presently in an interracial relationship, I can honestly say I thought twice before dating him. Even though we both live in the "big city," I worried that we would be looked at or even scorned because I am as white as white can be, and he is Asian.

The truth is, I don't even see his color anymore. He's "Curt" (name changed to protect the innocent), not "my Asian SO." I never walk down the street with him and feel uncomfortable or feel like we're being stared at. We are who we are.

With that being said, last summer, "Curt" and I went to Georgia during our vacation. I honestly believe some of the people in Georgia had never seen an Asian person before, let alone a white girl dating him. I felt TOTALLY uncomfortable and out of place. This is why I will always live in a big city (where it's more acceptable and "everyday").

On another note, if we ever have kids, we will teach them that people are prejudiced and that they will be made fun of because they aren't Asian, but they aren't white. This does not make them bad people. Sadly, it will teach our children that there will always be prejudices, and that they will have to come to terms with that. Will it keep us from having children? No, never.

The most attractive guy I ever dated was "technically" half white, quarter Latino and a quarter black. His momma was half white, half Latino. His daddy half white, half black and looked just like Rick Fox did before he got a grungy looking :drool:. He was gorgeous. Perfect skin and thick wavy black hair. Unfortunately I was too young and stupid to realize that a guy being overly nice was a good thing. :banghead:

That boys and girls is my "the one that got away" story.... :sad:

My SO's cousins are 1/2 white, 1/2 Asian. They are ABSOLUTELY gorgeous (well, handsome)!!! One of his cousins has thick, wavy hair and incredible eyes. The other one has stronger Asian features, but is a hottie (and knows it). Too bad I met "Curt" first.... :lmao: J/K

In My Opinion
There is almost nothing more beautiful than an asian women, I dont see a problem with mixed marriage.

I dont care what race you or your spouse happen to be, if you are good together, take care of each other, respect each other then F all the people that might look at you like a freak show.

My family roots go back to Germany and Norway, cant get no whiter then that, My wife is Puerto Rican. Someone doesnt like it, they can kiss my hairy backside.
(I will refrain from bringing up the issues with a Puerto Rican mother in law that thinks she needs to be in every damn aspect of your personal business at this time.)

You marry who you want, you live where you want. the rest will just fall into place.

Decent women are very hard to find, therefor I see no need limiting opportunities based on race.

We already do that - they're called religion, politics, and class.
