Are you against interracial relations ?

I am learning quite a bit about the ethnic dynamics of Turkey. All this pigmentation stuff. I know little about Turkey, but I do know from my migrant experience that ethnic differences like pigmentation, facial shape, body shape are mostly exaggerated. I think it is because it is easier to live with a stereotype than with the many versions of reality, and people like to place others into neat boxes.

you are kurdish with some gypsy mix and maybe also some arab
Let me translate your claim like this: you look mostly gypsy, a little Arab, a little Kurdish. how was it? I think it's wonderful. In this way, he becomes a very, very atypical Kurd.

He never said that you look mostly gypsy xd. He has always said that your base is kurdish. Why are you being dishonest

There is no such thing as looking half Kurdish. Does a half German half Indian person look more Indian or German? answer me this question either xD. you look completely Kurdish or you don't, PERIOD. It is the greatest dishonor to be able to say that you look half Kurdish to a person who is claimed to look mixed.

No. Its fine. Would be more worried about the actual individuals behavior and if they get into trouble or are involved in bad things than this.

Yes, I'm against race mixing, but I'm not a puritan, let me explain.

I believe a Indo-Mestizo can mix with a Amerindian, or a Mulatto with a black, or a Harnizo or Castizo with a Caucasian, since the children won't really be mixed anymore.

Many, but not all, not all, Mixed-race people suffer from identity problems, unacceptance from monoracials, different personalities, outbreeding depression, etc.

If we all mixed, our species would lose the diversity, & we would all look like the same, wouldn't that be boring, also like in what happened in Latin America, people would lose their racial identity after a few generations of being mixed, & they would think Mexican or Puerto Rican is their race.

I'm 2/3 Caucasian & 1/3 Amerindian, & I have a preference for Caucasian women, my children would be over 80% Caucasian, the Amerindian will be very diluted at that point, as they would be only 1/8 Amerindian, & thats considered Criollo according to the Casta, & my children won't really be mixed, but me marrying a White woman wouldn't be really considered an interracial marriage, since I'm mostly Caucasian, much like Barack & Michelle Obama isn't really considered an interracial marriage, If I were an Indo-Mestizo or over 80% Amerindian, & I married an White woman, than that would be an interracial marriage.

But I accept that I'm mixed, I'm thankful to God for giving me a combination of Caucasoid & Amerindian DNA, but I been through a lot because of it too, I don't favor either of my White or Native sides, I treat them & identify as both as equal.
