Even though I said most Whites rather than all you appear offended. your family appears to not have the preference.
i wasn't upset when you said most whites, i was upset about this:

Well, tell me, if you are White, would you, when your child becomes of age, let him or her date an Black-African or an African-American person? Would you approve of it 100%? Would your parents 100% approve of you dating Blacks?
The rhetorical device you were using was to presume that either I or my family have racist motivations to our actions, which of course is being presumed without having ever interacted with them.
The reason I am upset is because you are trying to imply that, as a white person, I have to prove the non-racism of myself or my family to you, even without any reason for you to believe that we are racists.
The question you asked, to me personally, was a joke, and would only have any impact or be relevent in a worldview where it is assumed most white people would behave in the way you describe. That worldview supposes certain behavioural and ideological truths about "whites" which I am positive you would not be happy with me or anyone else supposing about black people. For instance, if I were to tell you that I assumed your mother hated me because she is an intolorant black supremeist, you would be justified in punching me in the teeth. The fact that you think you are making a point by asking white people about their racist motivations is VERY telling about what YOU think motivates white people, and shows that you think white people as a race share common motivations, which is false.
Most telling however is this:

So worry not. If so, would it be an insult to call a fat kid a fatboy.
Not only for what it says, but what it does not say. To begin with, you basically justify your blatent disregard for the very tolorance that you desire by claiming that my parents could in fact be the "fatboy". The very thing you know made me upset in the first place. However, more damning is the lack of an appology.
All I asked for was for you to appologize for insinuating that my parents are racist. I think that is a fair request and should, provided you have any human decency, elicit a prompt retraction of your statements.
