Mixed race relationships

I found this link to a MSNBC special "Multiracial in America."

There are several videos to watch with personal stories from people that are married to another person not of their own race. This would be great to explore for our RT.

What do you think about mixed race marriages?

I didn't see a mixed raced marriage growing up and in my own town it is still not well accepted especially if the marriage is between a white person and a black person. Although I did not see mixed race marriages growing up, I did see a lot of mixed race marriages in the military.

These marriages have been becoming more accepted in the United States especially if we look back 30, 20, or even 10 years ago. Why are they becoming more accepted? Why has it taken so long for these marriages to become a more acceptable option in the United States when we are considered the melting pot of the world?

We can also keep this information in mind for the minorites forum in Los Angeles!
