This is horrible - Associate Press story

That is disgusting. He should be fired. Period. Like a f'ing marriage license would stop people from having kids. Lots of loving parents aren't married.

 

I hope in the end they can get married.

SNL made fun of this last night - apparently he said something to the effect of "I'm not racist, I just don't like the idea of mixing the races"

 

Next time you're trying to prove your not racist maybe don't use the definition of racism lol. So ignorant!!

[super19]

Terrible! I can't believe he's been getting away with this.

[Prettyhazardous]

So Sad. I really don't know what else to say....

UGH!!!!! I can't believe this would still be an issue. Clearly some people don't know the difference between being racist and not being racist. I'd love for someone to tell me I can't get married to my FI because he's Korean and I'm Colombian and they would think our kids would suffer. There are no words...

[Erika J]

This is truly disgusting!!!!!

I wonder what would make him come to that reasoning and if it is necessarily from pure bigotry? Does Louisiana have more problems with prejudice than other parts of the US?

 

I know such a reasoning would not fly in metropolitan cities like NY or Toronto where there are so many mixed people you can't even tell who is what anymore. However, I do have mixed friends/visible minorities who live in more 'ethnically homogenous' areas and they say they encounter prejudice issues even today. NONE of them would say that they regret being born or being mixed but they do admit it can be very fustrating.

 

I like to quote Bullworth in the face of subjects like these: "We just gotta keep f**king until we're all the same colour!"

[vlynnw]

Are you kidding me! That's ridiculous...

[Melidell]

Unbelievable. I don't even know what to say, except it's so sad and frustrating that this kind of thing still happens.
