Would you actually prefer if interracial relationships were still treated the same way that they were in the 1950's?
In other words would you prefer it if they were basically unacceptable in society?

I feel sorry for the children because they don't have a choice and it is a kind of biological experiment. I knew two people who were half Chinese and half European who were emotional basket cases. They were on edge and insecure or had problems reading the emotional state of others. I don't know the average--but I have only met two individuals who were mixed-race. The media isn't going to report if there is some scientific negatives to miscegenation because they support it 100%. I have heard Africans say that American blacks are fucked up--how much of that is due to race-mixing? Multiculturalism has its limits.
The same thing with gay adoption. There's no way to avoid the clash of priorities--if you think children are the priority--then gay adoption would have to be the last option--because one expects children to be hetero so they would benefit from the standard biological parental dynamic. Ideally. If you say the rights of the LGBT parents matters more--then you are sacrificing the child's best interests.
There's no way around this dilemma. Nature doesn't care. Or we are all part of some experiment--like an ant farm or sea monkeys.
Maybe we all originated from a "mail order universe" ad purchased by a bored deity.

No. Diversity is a wonderful thing to share.

I remember one time in the 90's I listened to the tom leykis show.
And he was discussing interracial relationships. And he said that he had no problem with it. And, this tom leykis was married to a oriental lady at the time.
And then he asked callers to call in and say if they had a problem with interracial relationships.
And then, mostly white men would call in and say why they thought interracial relationships were bad.
But, tome leykis would make one point which is: Well it's hard enough to find the perfect person as it is. So what's the difference what race they are? And when he made that point, obviously he was referring to white women that date black guys.
And when I heard that, I thought. He doesn't believe what he is saying, he's just saying that to get a reaction.
And basically , Iirc white guys would then call in. And basically start off saying, Tom you are so wrong on this...
Maybe, possibly some white guys actually called in and agreed with him. But I don't recall that. Basically from what I remember, every (white) male that called in said that tom leykis was high.
If I recall correctly there may have been some women that called in. Possibly some of them might have said they are fine with interracial relationships.

I have no problem with interracial relationships, but I DO think commercials are going overboard with what seems to be every third couple in ads being an interracial one. Have they increased that much in recent times?

Why would you even ask that?

Probably have said this before, but it is an amusing story - to me, anyway. Back between 1994 and 1998, I pursued (and eventually obtained) my university degree. Since the university I chose was 5 hours away, I had to stay with a family. I rented a room in their house from them. However, since I stayed there the entire 4 years, by the end of my tenure there, I was family. I had met everyone on my landlady's side of the family. I had met everyone on my landlady's hubby's side of the family. I even knew my landlady's daughter's boyfriend. Anyway.... My landlady's hubby was just really, REALLY against the idea or concept of interracial dating and/or marriage. Nothing that any of us (had a few housemates throughout the years) said or did would sway his decision. That was, until the end of my 3rd year. My parents came up to take me home for the summer. We had dinner at the house the Saturday night, and the topic came up. I thought.....uh-oh. My mother fought my landlady's hubby tooth and nail on the subject. Honestly, I thought the landlady's hubby was going to crack. However, he didn't. Oh well. To answer the question: I don't have a problem with it. Never have had a problem with....and never will.

Sadly, a friend of mine (a young black lady who was only 19) was killed by her white boyfriend here in Wisconsin about a week ago. It has gained a lot of media attention. This will probably start making a lot of people negatively criticize interracial black / white relationships. My ex-fiance was a black woman, I am white. We broke up simply because she was a freaking control freak and jerk. Not because of a race thing. My best friend is 51 year old black man who has been with his white girlfriend living together since 2003. I don't have a problem at all with interracial relationships or dating.
