Interracial relationships/marriage are moral.

I am sorry, I will try to make my arguments clearer this time. 1) Marriage When I said marriage does not promote jealous and possessiveness by itself, I meant that your assertion of marriage promoting those emotions should not be a reason to not allow marriage because non-platonic relationships in general promote those emotions. Most non-platonic relationships are not open. Not allowing marriage would not make sense if we still allow non-platonic relation that are not open. Many people do not want others to cheat because they just do not like their partner having non-platonic relations with others. People just like and dislike certain things. People do not choose what they like and dislike. Some people are fine with their partner having non-platonic relations with others, but many are not. Open relationships just are not for everyone. For many, an open relationship would cause worry and emotional distress. Many are more comfortable with a non open relationship. When two people want to be in a relationship, they should agree on whether to make their relationship open or not. This establishes trust, which is a very important aspect in a relationship. Agreement on the type of relationship will prevent worry and emotional distress that could be caused from a disagreement on the type of relationship later if not established beforehand. The issue of having non-platonic relations with others when both partners did not agree for the relationship to be open is dishonesty. Trust is important in a relationship so both partners can rely on each other. I am sorry if it seemed like I was attempting to cover up the negative effects. I was not, and I meant that marriage is no different from other non-platonic relations that are not open in the sense that they both promote jealousy and possessiveness. 2) Human Evolution I understand that having more variety is good in the gene pool in case of a need for the formation of a trait that would be beneficial for an unfavorable or challenging environment. You assume that allowing interracial marriage will eventually lead to the end of different races thus decreasing variety. That is not necessarily true because the majority of people reproduce within their own race. According to Pew Research, about 15% of marriages in the U.S. are interracial. At this percentage, there are and will be plenty of people of different races for more genetic variety. Plus, having sizable mixed races will provide even more variety in the human gene pool. Allowing interracial marriage is not immoral because it will not lead to the end of different races. If too many interracial marriages/too much reproduction occurs, then we can limit it. I did not misconstrue the meaning of inbreeding, and I was referring to incestual sexual relations. However, my statement involving inbreeding was not supported by evidence, and I apologize for that. Conclusion: 1) Marriage Marriage is not immoral because it is not diferent fron non-platonic relations that are not open in the sense that they both promote jealousy and possevieness of partners. There is no use in not allowing marriage if non-open relationships are allowed. Whether a relationship is open or not should be established to avoid future emotional distress that could be caused from a disageement on the type of relation if it is not established beforehand. 2) Human Evolution Interracial marriage/relations are not immoral because, at the amount of interracial marriages today, they will not lead to the end of different races, which would decrease variety in the gene pool. Having sizable mixed races will provide more variety in the human gene pool. If too much interracial marriage/reproduction occurs, then it can be limited to provide more variety in the gene pool. Thanks for debating with me. It made me do a lot of thinking, and I enjoyed it. References: http://www.pewsocialtrends.org...
