How do you advise a friend against race mixing?

My friend is 18, a year younger than me.

Stats on interracial marriages easily statistically prove the inferiority of mixed race couples. What’re the races?

I'd be very careful with individual, personalized pressure regarding matters of the heart. No faster way to fracture your friendship than telling a friend he shouldn't want the woman he wants.

DV, divorce, and general unhappiness are all present at higher rates among race mixers

@Sam Southern - TN He's white, his girlfriend is Korean.

@Sam Southern - TN I think the best data to cite is the study which found that mixed race children are more likely to be depressed or consider suicide, and this was found by comparing all mixes to all unmixed groups, so it can't be shrugged off with muh SES

That being said, I'm not sure if you'll discourage someone who is already set on mixing by showing them studies

@Jacob Being half Swedish, he said he finds Swedish women to be some of the most beautiful in the world. Maybe he just needs to be introduced to a Nordic woman.

The way I've framed it in the past is the "I think having mixed race children can be cruel and unfair to the child, this is rapidly becoming a mixed up tribalized world as it is, and mixed race kids tend to struggle with issues of identity - stuck between two worlds - no tribe of their own, so to speak. They frequently struggle with depression, and deeper issues of connection to meaning, identity and oftentimes hold resentment towards one or more parent. Obviously love is a powerful thing, and I wouldn't want to stand in the way of it, but you have to consider the potential consequences of that relationship"

I have a buddy as well who's 10000% set on specifically a Korean woman, some apps on his phone are even in Korean, he's basically said he's given up in white women because "they're all thots and American women are ridiculous"

@Jacob Only autists are convinced by "studies"

Is he an engineering student?

@Patrick No. Liberal Arts

Is it a good liberal art like philosophy/history?

I've brought up the fact the6 might have identity issues being half white half Korean but the response is always "not if they're raised American" or "Ya know there's this thing called mental strength and not everyone is the same way"

Modern Languages. Don't ask me what he's thinking.

if it was me? I'd ask the person what they think the cultural issues between them will be

@Deleted User I think that's partially true, but, if one side has studies, and the other doesn't, then the public will quickly see the side that doesn't as anti-intellectual. That's part of the reason everyone thinks conservatives are retarded. They suck at debating and usually just spout platitudes. For all that they make fun of liberals for being emotional, they sure do it a lot themselves.

It's not necessarily the study that will convince someone, but it's the fact that you have studies and the other side doesn't that establishes you as an authority

@Jacob Feelings are infinitely more powerful than facts - it's why the left has won for so long.

That doesn't contradict what I said, though

for that matter: ask your friend how you "raise someone American" 'cause that Chinatown crap doesn't fly for me

We won't win until we master the art of appealing to emotion.

Feelings don't care about your facts.

I don't disagree with that, but you're missing the point

She literally lives in South Korea too. Maybe I should just convince him that it likely won't work out.

No one is saying that you should argue with *only* facts

does the guy _know_ Korean or anything about Koreans?

It's not so much having facts that gets people on your side, and it's the fact that you're not the guy who doesn't have facts

or is he just stroking it to the idea of not giving a white woman animony?

@Salo Saloson He's in the Korean club.

He's a bit of a weeb.

that level of xenophilia is creepy

full offense intended

I know right? He's still a cool guy though. He's not one of those white misfit weebs.

@Hakujin - CA Is your friend overweight and depressed? I am asking because in my experience most of my friends who ended up marrying non whites were kind of ..."unattractive, overweight, with low self esteem" who felt that they would never be able to date a white girl (or guy) and so they start chatting with someone in the Phillipines or Egypt and they "fall in love" over the internet and then eventually they fly the person to the US.

@Grayson No.

hmm bummer

My kid in my case isn't an outcast or anything either, tall fit kid, normal all around but just has a constant hard on for Korea, everytime we talk about anything cultural he always has to say "Well in Korea..."

Just realized.. with this NPC meme.

The left says it’s dehumanizing, but haven’t they been calling us russian bots for the past two years?
