You say you have no problem with interracial relationships. But why did you put and exclamation point after your statement, "...feels like in a few years there will be barely any non-interracial children left!"?
But anyway, this interracial thing is a no-brainer. No law ever prohibits the partnership of interracial couples. There's nothing wrong with that and certainly there's nothing wrong about interracial couples having kids.
It bothers me when interracial relationships become such a big deal. I mean, c'mon, aren't we supposed to meet all sorts of people and explore the world, that kind of thing?

Once agin i DO NOT have any problems with interracial relationships or children. My exclamation point was for emphasis... Due to the fact that a couple years ago biracial children were few and now there are so many. It is a drastic change that i am sure plenty of people have noticed. I am african american and a lot of the children in my family are interracial and my son who is not sticks out like a sore thumb, which is so different from a few years ago when the interracial children were the ones who stood out. I think maybe you should check your grammar book again and find out what you use an exclamation point for!

Oh, okay. Thanks for the explanation. Punctuations and symbols could mean different things. Glad you qualified your use of the exclamation point. No need for grammar books now for I've been a writer almost all my life. Just as you posed your observation, I was also expressing an opinion.
Anyway, my husband is also African-American. Way before I met him, I've always felt strongly about racism and all sorts of racial prejudice. It is serious, it is very real. But standing out from the rest of the crowd because of color isn't what matters really. It is sweeter to stand out from the lot because of a sense of identity and being proud to be exactly what you are and who you are. Cultural diversity is a fact of life. Let's just be "color blind" for once.

I'm an Okinawan-Jew, messianic jew, believer in Yashua (Jesus). I married a woman who is Hawaiian, Irish, Spanish, Scotish, English, we have two daughters. According to the Bible we are to treat one another as family. And if God says it's OK then it must be OK.

Yeah it is coming more and more commen, both my kids are bi-racial. There father is black and I am white. I think it is great really. People put to much enphasis on skin color instead of whats really important. I guess if everyone is the same color they can't judge them for there race. I see everyone the same no matter there skin color. Its just skin, everything else is the same.

I am a member of an interracial relationship, also I am the mother of 4 mixed (black and caucasian) children. I too see a plethora of interracial children,however I applaud this as progress! Finally the old seperationistic barriers and stupid ideals of "racial purity" (a myth) may be coming down. I have also noticed that all children regardless of their color or mix seem to speak the same language now, while it may be a language to which we as adults may often require a translator, it seems to me that these children are bringing with them a change in attitude. Their friends are not selected on the basis of the color of their skin, nor is whom they fall in love with and eventually marry. Finally as I see it in the modern, more racially relaxed enviroment the "dream" may finally be realized. I too have a dream that one day a person will be judged, not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their charachter.
