I think it's wonderful because it shows an increasing ability for people of different backgrounds to not only get along, but to love each other and create families together. We're probably more divided by political views these days than we are by our ethnic or religious backgrounds.
And I don't care if you think my "glee" is obnoxious. It's a frickin message board.
You want approval and praise for your views. That's the whole point of this thread. The fact that you aren't interested in opposing viewpoints demonstrates this clearly. I imagine you clapping your hands together in ecstasy at the idea of a mixed race country. It makes you feel so good inside for some reason.

Give it a rest, OP is just trying to share some facts. I'm in an interracial marriage myself and many of my friends and family members are as well.
To hear that interracial marriage is increasing is wonderful news and shows how progressive and open-minded Americans are becoming. Now THAT is truly MAGA!
Oh and I also have a few mixed race kids so am making my contribution to the Liberals population. LOL!
I'm a woman of color married to a white man, and the only people who've taken issue with it are his extended family (his immediate family is lovely though, this doesn't include them).
What can I say? My husband's not big on family tradition dictating his choice in partners. I mean, I have an actual job and more livers than DUIs.
The research is just according to the US gov definition of a race and ethnicity. There are a hell of a lot more ethnicity in the world, and the US, than Hispanics, so the number of "interracial marriages" is higher, much higher if you expand the ethnicity factor.
People are people. I’m already mixed and I’ve dated and married someone of a different background, who is also mixed. There isn’t a region of the earth that hasn’t touched my family somehow.

It would require tens of thousands of years to reach a perfect mixture where everyone has the same exact skin, color eyes, hair and height. And that sounds depressing
See, I'm not so sure, at least in this case.
I think of someone who says it's unacceptable as someone who is actually hostile to the idea; a reply of acceptable is pretty much everyone else. If you're indifferent, you are not hostile, therefore, indifference = acceptance.
You should care, and your position should be indifference. And the reason your position should be indifference is because interracial reproducing is the only way out of our current dilemma of racism and racial identification.
If we all looked like Mariah Carey or Halley Berry or Meghan Markle or Tiger Wood, how much trouble could there BE?!
FWIW: I am the only Anglo in my family. Everyone else appears to be Asian mix.
If you think every one being a racial mix is going to end discrimination, it's not. People always find reasons to discriminate against and dislike each other.
I would rather have a world of multiple races and cultures than just one mutt race and one mutt culture.
Turning people and cultures into clones of each other is not "diversity", it's the opposite of diversity.
I can't think of anything more boring and dehumanizing. So of course, the liberals support it.
