    That objection is to a mixed religion couple. It has nothing to do with race.

    Yes you are right except religion and race are so closely related that by having objection to a mixed religion couple you more often than not also have a problem with a mixed race couple, i dont know how to explain this better .

    Attempting to judge someone's religion by the colour of the skin as though they are reliably related strikes me as being pretty racist actually.

    If someone assumed I was a Christian just because I am white I would be pretty offended.

    I mean... what religion are black people Unhappy? <-- see how stupid this question looks.

    The family are not going to assume anything they are going to find out what religion the person is and then judge. Also please note i said religion and race are closely related i didn't say exclusive.

    You've never seen a women that wasn't caucasian that you find attractive? I find that odd, very odd, in fact.

    Not so much about the plastic surgery but the photoshop rumours leave me feeling conflicted. Still not sure if it's just a smear campaign.
