In response to my fellow conservatives on blogs like "Dissecting Leftism" attacking the concept that "race" does not exist, the fact remains: It doesn't. There is only one race biologically speaking--the human race so "interracial marriage" does not exist. If you don't marry someone from the same race you didn't marry a human so what did you marry? Acts 17:26 says, "From one blood He made all nations, that they might inhabit the earth." We're all one race, all descended from Adam and Eve, and the idea of race had better be used to relate to "culture" or "ethnicity".
If you still want to talk about the "hypocrisy" of the Left, one might say that their insistence that "race doesn't exist" does not mesh with their fervent opposition to measures to make race not matter. Pushing affirmative action does not tell people, "Race does not exist." It tells people, not only does race exist but it is the deciding factor in your personality. If race does not exist, and it doesn't, then it should not be used one way or the other to determine college acceptance, job acceptance or any other thing in your life.
