Stay classy, Louisiana.

Interracial couple denied marriage license in Louisiana.

I love this quote in particular: "I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else."

I'm not racist. Look, here's a picture of me with a black person. We're both smiling. Almost.

Mind you, it may look like a racist decision to the rest of us, but he's only thinking of the children.

"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."

Ah, those poor children of interracial couples - they will never have a fair chance. Never amount to anything. No hope of ever achieving their full potential, like becoming the president of the United States...

"I'm not racist, but..." is pretty much always the opening to an incredibly racist statement. I think even normal sentences can become racist from that.

I don't like Chinese food.
