I haven't ketched up - I have several 1000 posts to read, so screw it. For anyone interested - two weeks early, tenlbs,1oz and 21.75". And he's far cuter than anything I ever thought we could produce.

I don't know how you mono-ethnic people do it. Having to live up to one specific stereotype and constantly do stuff that fits in with that stereotype less you betray your race. We multi-ethnic types can pick and choose and always claim that it was our "other" heritage that made us different. I thank my parents every day that they betrayed their heritages and got together. They self-loathed so I didn't have to.

I won't even talk to people who only date within their ethnic/race/background. I think its fucking repulsive and backward. In fact, I find JDate, CatholicDate or any other "find one of your own kind" matchmaking service offensive. Some idiot commented to me a while back that his daughter woulkd only marry another Greek - nothing else was acceptable. I felt like saying "So, I'm good enough to buy you lunch, but not good enough to fuck your hairy fat princess of a duaghter... I hope she gets knocked up by a black dude in college, you fucking narrow minded asshole." A relative of mine told me once that it would be scandalous to marry a Jew. Of course, he had no fucking reason, other than to suggest "we Catholics stick together." Sure thing, Goebbels... the world needs more fucking Catholics. And if I meet another Jappy chick who tells me how hard it is to find a Jewish man, I'm going to slap the pound of eyeliner off her face. Guess what, bitch - if you're too stupid to open your eyes past your own shitass little world, you deserve to die lonely. I believe that these foul people who only date withint their races or sect are dying lonely as a result of natural selection. Nature is seeing to it that shitheads don't multiply.

Yeh, this subject rubs a fucking nerve with me.

Speaking of shaving -- ladies, does the shave with the grain principle apply to legs? I've always gone against the grain (apparently like all the straight men on QE with their beards) but should I try with the grain?

I think I'm in the minority here, but I find that shaving against the grain (especially on the neck/goatee area), one gets a cleaner and closer shave than shaving with the grain. Of course, I probably just do this b/c of my self-loathing caused by an ancestry of with-the-grain shavers.

OK. Is there someplace where the rules are written down so that I can know them in advance? Thanks.

Here's a new rule, and coincidentally, I'm writing it down right now:

Don't be a race-baiting piece of shit.

Edited to add: It doesn't matter that you're a black woman (and I doubt you are), you're still a race-baiting piece of shit.

We're talking about Tiger Woods here? Didn't he used to describe himself as Afrimeriasian or some such gobbledy-gook?

I believe it was Cabilinasian or something like that. Note that he did not, however, marry a Cabilinasian or an Afimeriasian or even an Italian. He is marrying a really, really, really white looking chick.

Some of the chicks on JDate are hot. I was unaware of the CatholicDate service. I'll have to check this out as well.

He never dates non-whites. I don't think he has even so much as dated an italian.

Dude. If you know this much about Tiger Woods' personal life, you have way more issues than he does.

So if he is Thai, Chinese, Black, Native American and White (with apparently the Thai and Chinese together being the largest percent of his heritage according to the article CtD linked), what *is* his "race?" Does it depend on his skin color? He has black skin so he has to be black and behave a certain way to be true to his blackness? If his skin was light would he then be Asian?

I believe he calls himself something like Cabilinasian. However, the woman he is marrying is 100-fucking-percent white.

I've listened to black** women friends bemoan the number of well-educated professional black men who marry white women thereby reducing the pool of guys they'd want to date.

So have I.

This is true in my experience as well. Is this even debatable? I thought this was true for everyone. Of course, shaving against the grain everyday will quickly rub your face raw.

Congrats.

One word of advice. If I remember correctly, this is your first. For some reason, from what I have seen, the vast majority of the time, the second-born and down the line seem to always get larger. So, unless you eventually want to give birth to a 20+ pound monster-baby, STOP. STOP NOW!
