Imagine if this letter were printed in a newspaper in America:
This letter is in response to “Basic Human Rights,” by Michael Ra Bauchard.
He said the celebrated tolerance of culture and religious diversity was gravely threatened in 1998 by voting against mixed race marriages. Hawaii is not a mixed race culture, and the people of Hawaii stood up and showed the radical few that make the most noise that they were against a breakdown of not only their culture, but their society. It was not because of religious extremists who deliberately mislead and manipulated the people of Hawaii. The people of Hawaii have a strong foundation of family structure and are smart enough to think on their own.
This weighs more than just “Human Rights.” It’s society that is going to pick up the bill. Do you as a “clinical raceologist” you ever stop to think about the people you affect? Or do you only think of your own selfish sexual desires?
It is also a scientific fact that not all skin colour is something you are born with, that you make that a choice. The majority of mixed race relationships are a choice, due to the excuse of past racial abuse, physical abuse, or even something fun to try.
It is also a scientific fact that the healthiest children, who will make up a healthy society, are those raised in a secure family structure of both white mother and white father. We already have so many children being raised by single parents.
By allowing mixed-race unions, we will be opening doors that will not be able to be closed. But it’s your human right, having no thought to how it affects others.
Right now, there are vicious court battles going on with mixed-race unions and children that are being torn apart because selfish adults and their human rights. It’s bad enough that this is already being done in today’s white society, but to add to it with mixed-race unions is even more destructive and confusing for children.
So I also encourage Hawaii residents to get behind our state representatives and take a courageous stand to vote “no” on civil unions. It isn’t a human right. Don’t you see? The colours don’t match! Why are you trying to make something unnatural, natural?

Switch “mixed race” for “same sex” and you’ve got a letter published in today’s Hawaii Tribune-Herald.

Boy, that is some amazing narrow mindedness!

Interesting choice for your parody, in the past history of the union, certain states have had anti-miscegenation laws, and it is still taboo in certain states. Not in Hawai’i obviously.
I wonder if Colliene would like to explain the Hawai’ian term “Mahu,” and it’s place in modern slang, for us ?
