It sucks that the photo was supposedly taken from her computer. Her response and the comments section are examples of why I do not call
individuals racist. "Racist" and "racism" are magical words that make people miss the larger point that SHOULD be made. To respond to Kate's comments,
yes, eversince interracial humping and unions have existed, there have been people who hold biased viewpoints against their hump partner's or life partner's racial, ethnic, or cultural group. Their hump partner or spouse is considered "different than the rest" and/or "he/she doesn't mind my racial slurs, why do you care." It's the same as "some of my bestfriends are (insert group)."
Yes, you can have biracial or multiracial children and still hold prejudice views against that very same group(s) of people. You can also make disparaging racial, ethnic, and cultural remarks towards your children--sometimes disguised as cutesy inside jokes. Hell, there have always been people who hate their own racial, ethnic, and cultural group so why is it so difficult for people to grasp hating another racial, ethnic, cultural group with which the people you love are affiliated?
Whether or not K.G. is "racist" would depend on whether her stupid joke shapes her behaviors.

I thought it was just me. FSUZeta, would you mind translating that blog(?) for us? What do you interpret him to be saying? I only gathered the
"you're from the Deep South...I'm Black and not mad..." part of it.
