You may have seen this already, but it's still ridiculous and racist.
So the story goes this couple, one black man and a white female decide to get married in Lousiana. But this Judge Bardwell guy says no, because it's an interracial marriage.
Wait. This is breaking the law. This is discrimination.
But the funny thing is, the guy says he's not a racist. "I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," the racist said. Protip: Don't deny you're a racist before saying the definition to racism. And he refers to his black friends like this: "I have piles and piles of black friends." You do not have "piles", or oodles, or bunches, or even collections of black friends, you sick racist.
And of course, his excuse is THINK OF THE KIDS!
This is utter bullshit. Is this really what happens in the 21st century? In America, arguably one of the most advanced countries in the modern age, where there is a black (well, technically the offspring of an interracial marriage) President, and Derek Jeter is not technically completely white? This is how the world sees America, as a bunch of racist bastards who even have to meddle in other people's marriages.
Seriously though, racism is bad.

"There is a problem with both groups accepting a child from such a marriage," Bardwell said. "I think those children suffer and I won't help put them through it."
