Why would you make that assumption, unless you were a closed minded person?
I prefer a rainbow to a black and white world.

That's not my experience.

Your posts disprove this. Perhaps you are not able to accept the fact that you are bigoted, but everyone here who reads what you write can plainly see it.

I don't see it as either "good" or "bad".

If they truly love and care about each other, and they're together for the right reasons, then I don't see a problem with it.

The relationship is good if the two people really have a special connection. Whether a relationship is interracial is neither here nor there.

However, at the same time, I don't see interracial relationships as "proof" that racism doesn't exist in an area or something that is perfect either.

As an African-American, I see a lot of black men dating white women. There's nothing wrong with that, if it's because they truly care for each other and love each other. However, I know a lot of those guys that are dating white women do so because they perceive white women to be automatically "superior" to black women. That's the problem I have. Also, sometimes blacks like to distance themselves from anything that's remotely perceived as "black".

However, a lot of people look at that relationship and see it as a beautiful example of tolerance and progressiveness. But sometimes, the underlying reasons behind that relationship aren't so commendable.

Such a state would be intellectually inbred. However I would be happy if people who had these beliefs were to leave my country!

I don't know, ask him.
Even if he did object, she has the right to do as she pleases.

Why do you need a man to approve or disapprove of what you choose to do. It's YOUR life.

Who other people choose to marry is none of my business.

I think you'll find that every urban area in the UK and conurbation is actually very multicultural, be it Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Leicester, Bradford etc... Rural areas are yes on the whole still very "white" and very "native" English though that too is thankfully changing slowly.
