As far as mixed-heritage children are concerned, I think the blending of cultures and races and the resulting children are what will ultimatley get rid of the last vestiges of racial discrimination. Those kids are everyplace now, and unless they're in particularly unevolved parts of the country or world, they do just fine. This is almost 2008, not 1958. There will always be stanch believers in racial purity, just like there'll always be Nazis and skinheads and others uninformed types who kid themselves that we're not all a mix of something. But when the older generations die out and increasingly we see people who were raised after civil rights and equality were givens, that's when widespread acceptance of diversity will reign. Blended-race (or "culture") kids and interracial marriages are helping hasten that process even as we speak. Which is, the way I see it, a very good thing.
You're absolutely right.

I'm not arguing that "racial purity" is right nor wrong.
I should have used "different ethinic/background marriages".
I just figured people didn't see "race" as black or white.

There are multiple white, black, asian(and many other) races.
but I sense I'm being percieved as racist... or someone against diversity so....nevermind....sorry I brought it up.
