There's a reason why you didn't reply to my second example which also took into account that interpretation of the "B is closer to A than C".

That was an obvious typo...

Quote:
Even if we go this route:

B-----A------C

A-----B
A------C

B is closer to A than C is.

A------C

A is close to C

B--------------C

B is not close to C (No matter how you choose to define "close" you can always move them to make B and C outside that range.)


Wrong in 2 accounts.

1. Subjectivity:

In order for B not be close to C, you would have to subjectively be biased. If the distance from A to C is considered "close", then you're saying that the distance is negligible. So, if you were to move "A" further away at a distance LESS than the distance between "A" and "C", it is sill close because that amount is even more negligible than the original distance between the two. It wouldn't go from "close" to "far".


2. Objectively: The fact that you can "move" around means that you can move B next to A, (i.e. replace A), which will be close to C, hence why the original comparison used "=" and not "closed by". I simply changed "=" to "close by" because we're talking about concepts and not physical things. There is no absolute objective way of measuring "close by", but you can objectively determine equality. If you subscribe to the belief that the distance between two objects is negligible ( the difference between miscegenation laws and SSM laws), then you are essentially saying that they are the same, in other words, equal. Which brings me back to my original comparison, If A = B and A = C, how does B not equal c?

According to the media, all blacks in Africa live in huts half naked starving with flies on them. I don't recall ever seeing any black urban shots of Africa. Everything you see is either in the jungle, Arab violence or in huts. With Arab Africa, you only see people shooting each other and violence. So, when people see the media, that's all they think Africa is.

Maybe according to the media you watch. Or the media available in the USA. The media window into Africa from Australia is MUCH more diverse than that, especially according to the more serious Foreign Correspondent documentaries/current affairs programmes on the TV and radio.


I just used Africa as an example. All media is the same. Your last post on US racial relations is evident that Australia is no different. It all goes back to money. The media shows what people want to see for ratings. That's why the news will focus on the same topics like storms, violence, court trials, etc. There's a lot of other stuff going on, but those things are not bringing in the ratings. All media is biased.

Yes, that's correct.

Really, it's because I'm smarter than you and your question is irrelevant. The reason why you're saying "A" and "B" instead of using real terms is because you know your argument will instantly fall apart.

If I didn't use real terms FIRST, then maybe you would have a point. YOU were the one that wanted me to rephrase the question. When I did, you just went back to ignoring it. You stuck your foot in your mouth and now you can't think of anyway to back peddle out of it without it being too obvious.

You're the one that claimed that anti miscegenation laws were almost useless in the USA, since most African Americans married African Americans, and only a tiny minority of white or black people had any desire to marry one another.

That's not due to racism as you claimed, but natural attraction. It's not just white or black people but culture. People are naturally attracted to people of their own culture.

False.

People are most naturally attracted to people who have the "opposite" immunotype to their own. Unless the woman is on the contraceptive pill, in which case people will be attracted to others with the same immunotype as their own.

People are also naturally attracted to other people who look like themselves. This does not usually involve hair, skin or eye colour but much more usually involves bone structure, and the 3D modelling of their facial and body features.

Obviously in a nation without much immigration or outside internet access, people are going to have relationships mostly with people of the same race. It is simply a matter of propinquity.

But in mixed race communities, especially nations that are mostly populated by immigrants and their descendants, Whether or not members of the same race, religion, or national heritage marry in or marry out becomes a much more interesting cultural question.

For example, of four Sri-Lankan Australians I was best friends with while living in Bendigo, one married a Dutch-Australian, one married an Anglo Australian, one dated mainly Anglo girls, and the fourth one was the only one to marry another Sri-Lankan Australian. However of that last double Sri-Lankan Australian partnership, one was Anglican and the other Bhuddist. So on their wedding day they first had an Anglican cathedral wedding in the morning, followed by a traditional Buddhist wedding in the afternoon. They are teaching their children about both Anglican and Buddhist ideas, and leaving their kids to fall where they may when they grow up.

I'm not referring to countries with little immigration or Internet access. Nor am I denying the fact that people marry outside of their cultures. My claim is that most people marry within their culture, else, there wouldn't much "tradition", because life would be different for each person.

That is accurate for people of the same skin color as well. If you walk in a room and see two people wearing sports jerseys, one of your favorite team and another of a team you despise, you're more likely to talk to the person who is wearing your favorite teams jersey. The same applies here, most people like to date people that they can relate to. That's not true for everyone, but that isn't racism either. "People they relate to" can be people of different skin colors, nationality and culture, just more times than not, it isn't.

P.S. I never had interest in going to Australia, but I am moving back to that side of the world, so I will definitely visit within the next 3 years. I might need to get some advice and tips before I go.
