  Is It Racist to Want Kids Who Look Like You?

   

  
  

   This is a from of cultural preservation that is fairly common throughout history. Believe it or not societies thrived because — on every continent — because of cultural ties.

  
  

   

  
  

  Your friend may or may not be a bigot, a racist, and he may not but I don't feel there is enough information, His preference alone does not make him racist.

  Daily Gaza, Part 2: 90,000 People Displaced

  It's unfortunate that a situation so comprehensive is addressed in such a way. The fact is there were  already 400,000 Palestinain refugees in the Middle East, something like 700,00 in Gaza, the rest scattered throuhout Syria, Lebanon and so forth. At least from where I sit, it is pretty hard to comprehend how a people so marignalized have a shot at making the correct decision on their leaders, we in the US make mistakes choosing our leaders daily, and we are all for the most part sitting pretty comfortably with homes and food on our tables.
  
  The additional 100,000 displaced Palestinians only makes this whole situation worse.
