Interracial Relationships - Do you really understand what Multiculturism?


Expert: Anisa - 9/30/2009

Question
QUESTION: Hi. I Mike from the UK. I'm a male of Nubian ancestory(Know what that is?)
I read what you have said. Do you really understand what it mean to be multiculurism?
For example, how come you describe your self as Hispanic, but yet your boyfriend as Black!
What is Black?
Can you not call him African American. How would you like to be called multi breed, because in reality, that what your people are made up from! No I bet you would not like it, then have some damm respect and decribe him properly.
Next, your family do not like him!
Well then they should get out of America and go back to where they come from, because without African Americans who fought and died for freedom, and EQUALITY, you Hispanic, would have the KKK burning you on crosses! Or think because you lot class yourselfs as White, under the American RACE classification, you would be safe?
And speaking about that, What colour classification, do you class your self under?
Hmm!
And finally, do you really love him, or is it just pure, racist, perverted, sexual fantasties, that you have have about BLACK MEN,that attracted you to him?

ANSWER: Hi Mike,

Your ramblings make no sense. Are you asking hypothetical questions or are you giving me examples based on personal experience? You have asked 5 different questions, yet none of them correlate to the other. What is your specific question? Maybe then I can help you with your obvious confusion about race, ethnicity, religion and ancestry (you apparently do not know the difference between them).

Thank you.

PS, yes I am very familiar with Nubian ancestry :)

QUESTION: Ramblings?
Yes, that relates to you! And your an Expert, what in? Racial Rubbish!   Or more to the point, the truth hurts, does it not! Or thought,because I'm from England, I do not know about America? I know more about human relations than you!
RACIST HYPOCRITE

Answer
Hello again, Mike.

Racism: a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

This is the definition of racism, in case you were unfamiliar with the term. I am not sure what "truth" you speak of that hurts. In your last question, you accused me of being "hispanic". I am not sure where you obtain your information. Not that it matters, but I am not hispanic nor am I of latino background. Regardless of MY race, my job here is to assist those who have questions regarding interracial relationships and/or dating, which I do have education, training and personal experience.

None of my previous answers have been directed towards racism or have been one sided. I do take all information into consideration before giving an honest, educated answer. Even then, it is up to the questioner to heed the advice or accept their own resolution.

Your submission was what we call "commentary", more like a blog; not a question. If you are currently dating or involved with someone of a different race and you have questions regarding this relationship, I would be more than happy to assist you with any uncertainties you may have.

As far as giving low scores and responding with "1", that is fine. You are entitled to your own opinions and I do respect your opinions, although I do not agree with them.

In the future, should you decide to pursue a relationship outside of your race and you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me for expert advice, as so many others have successfully done.

I really do hope you find guidance for your animosity towards whomever or whatever it is that has you so upset. Nothing in life is ever worth getting so disconcerted that you find it necessary to contact strangers and eject your anger at them. Negativity takes away more energy than positive; sometimes it helps to take a few seconds to breathe and reconnect with reality.

Good luck, dear.
