A: How the hell did you infer I'm going to create a straw man? There's absolutely no evidence of that. Besides, straw men don't even constitute a coherent argument. (Unless of course you're the moderator whom approved my comment that had the definition of a straw man in it, which I edited out minutes after it was approved - but that still isn't evidence of me trying to create a straw man.)    B: You're going to have to explain exactly what you mean by 'preserving your race.' A personal decision not to sleep with another person is absolutely fine - nobody should try and take that away - but what about your children, can they sleep with whoever they want? What's wrong with mixed race relationships? Do you reject their culture too? Would you live and work with other races if given the choice?    C: Disliking another person in account of their race is often considered the definition of bigotry, so it's up to you to assure us that you're not implying you're better than other races.    The ball is most definitely in your court.
