But it's viewed as "progress" because there was a time (that based on your states still exist) where people didn't mix for the same reasons you described. So to see people mixing it up is seen as people moving forward to interacting with one another and coming to the realization that we are the same people, that bleed the same color blood underneath it all.
Exactly. We are not there yet, but we are headed toward a future in which race and cultural differences are no more. We will be one human race.
I am sorry I was just trying to learn more about this. I hear people speak positively about racial mixing in the U.S. and I am confused because everyone in my country wants to maintain culture and tradition. You can not do this by marrying another ethnicity, culture and religion. These are just my views, I mean no harm.
I was confused because the girl is from a traditional family. I assume she is Muslim Sudanese, although she could be Christian, because she is dressed like a Western woman. I just can't see her family condoning intermarriage and definitely not marriage to a non Muslim man.
I think for something like this, it might be better for you to experience it as opposed to reading about it because it's not something some people understand. You learn from your mate if you're willing and while I'm sure it's easier to be with someone with similar cultures and religion, when you draw close enough to someone that they become your friend and mate, it almost becomes natural.
Are you open to dating outside of your race or is it something you genuinely want to avoid?
Hi Chris, and you view this as good? No diversity?
It's not something we will see in our lifetimes, but it is inevitable as long as we are not plunged into another dark age. There are numerous things that could throw societal progress off course, but we are fast becoming a planetary society and there world is getting smaller with each passing year. I see that continuing as long as there is a free and open Internet.

I know but I meant, it is against Islam for a Muslim woman to marry a non Muslim man, so she is breaking away from her religion to be married to him. Most people in her native country would not approve of her relationship, so there would be a lot of negative stigma.
I wonder what his parents think. There may be a lot of backlash from his parents to. For me family comes first. I can not see myself just saying I fell in love and negating my culture, religion and upbringing.
What about the role of ethnicity, traditions and customs, won't this be lost?
These things from your own culture are very much a synthesis of the meetings between past cultures. They continue to morph and change throughout history. They will continue to do so.
Yes! My wife and I were born and raised in Hawaii, so both of us are American.
