Nah you're just to hard on yourself. Meanwhile all the single babes are looking at your partners and saying, "How does she get him.

Hilly & Iceman...

Sorry guys.. I don't understand it either.

There's been small droughts in between, but when I strike gold, it's enough to feed a nation. If I knew the secret, I'd be feeding it to myself on an intravenous drip. :(

BTW, if I ever find out what my secret is, I'll be f*cked if I'm telling a soul. :D
 
'Interacial' relationships? As has been stated already there is only one race..

However...

I once went out with a Port supporter so I know that interspecies relationships cannot work :D

*Note: Port supporters are a sub-species :p

My Dad fought in WW2, he was in New Guinea against the Japs, he came home from the war, but it had done things to him, he eventually died due to war time factors.

I was taught by him to hate the Japs, I used to see him, and his RSL mates, and how the treatment at the hands of the Japs had affected them, so for a very very long time I had nothing but hatred for the Japs.

What has this to do with the topic you are asking, well in my opinion racism is a LEARNED reaction. I was taught to hate a certain race, just as everyone else on this planet who is guilty of racism. How can teching such as this be right? simple, it cannot be right.

Put a group of kids in together, different races, colours, creeds whatever, they will all play together, they couldn't care less about the colour of your skin. In this, we adults need to learn from our children, I have learnt that my previous hatred was wrong. It's too late for me to help my Dad, but I have been determined that my kids grow up accepting of human differences.

Racism is an ugly adult trait

How idyllic people's memories of their youth are.....at least most people. I have frequent memories of different kids being made fun of because they looked different....because kids are nasty, and they engage in the social dynamics of exclusion the same as adults do. Remember, for example, how girls were icky? Who told you to think that? I seriously doubt it was your parents.

Now the concept of race is one that one is taught, but the instincts of xenophobia seem to be there from day one.

Hmmm, strange that, because boys were icky, and chubby kids got picked on, but at least at my first school, I never saw any racism going on. Again though, it may have been due to the area I lived in at the time (Broadmeadows)

A strange thing, although my parents have prejudices of their own, they taught me not to have any, once I was old enough to understand the differences between ethnic groups, although that did take me a while. I do remember my mother telling me about "black people" and "white people" in australia, and how awful these "white people" were to the "black people". But it was just a funny bedtime story to me. I always imagined these "black people" as people covered in black paint and "white people" as people covered in white paint. I thought this was an imaginary world my mpther was talking of where there were red, orange, yellow, green and blue people as well.

Personally, I don't think kids see these as big differences unless someone explains it to them, but perhaps I was a particularly stupid kid.

The one seems to lead to the other, from what I've seen.

We have to disagree here Porthos

When a group of young kids are put together, they all just play together, I have seen this when I took my kids to play group, and then kindergarten. Where you are correct is when the kids are getting a little older, and going to primary school, by this stage they are learning responses from their parents, relatives and anyone else they have frequent contact with.

Hence I maintain my belief that xenophobia is a learned reaction rather than an ingrained instinct. Children are not born hating, they learn to hate, they learn from not only parents, but also older siblings, and peer groups within school, hence the "girls were icky" thing, that was a peer group pressure response.
 
My brother is half Sri Lankan (his mother is Sri Lankan) and he is actually darker than she is. One day he came home from school (in about grade 2 - he's in Year 7 now) crying, because the kids were calling him Brownie. All he wanted to do was wash the colour off so he could look like his dad, his sisters and everyone at school. That's pretty sad, to be discriminated against when you are so young and don't even understand what's going on.
 
OK Asgardian, I think where we differ is in the use of the term `kids'.....I'd call the mob you were talking about `toddlers'.

Forget divorce, when you both come to your senses I think you'll find that's sufficient grounds for annulment ;) You can forget it ever happened :D
 
As far as racism being a learned emotion, well we can debate that 'til the cows come home, but for this question.

Well inter-racial relationships is something I've got used to because where I grew up, (Panton Hill, Victoria) it wasn't a big deal because there was a few of them who were neighbours of mine.

The neighbours on my left, The husband was a Sri Lankan (with Syrian and Dutch as well) and his wife was white, they were both handsome people and thier daughters were quite pleasing to the eye:D .

And one of my mates at school, who lived on the other side of my house (who now is a kick arse ruckman for the mighty Redbacks (Panton Hill)) his dad was a pom and his mother was Indonesian.

As for up in the Goulburn Valley, although there are lots of different ethnic groups here (Anglo/Celtic, Turkish, Italian, Greek, Albanian etc.) they usually stick to thier own groups when it comes to relationships, there have been a few cases where they have mixed, but it's rare.
