I am a white person and have absolutely nothing against mixed race couples. I admit I usually do find myself attracted to people of my own race, but that has never been an absolute thing and I would certainly never not date or marry someone because of their race. I typically like to be friends with a person first before I date them and I am friends with all races, so I don't doubt that there is a possibility of me marrying someone from another race. I personally think it is an advantage to marry outside your race because you can expand your understanding of the world and learn a lot of new things. I always find it interesting to learn about new cultures and it would be nice to have that experience be part of a relationship.

However, I have still seen instances of discrimination against mixed race couples. I went to a university in California where there were a lot of Asian people. I had one friend who was Indian who told me outright she would never marry someone outside of her race. I kind of tried to shake it off, but it still struck me. Are people really still that racist?
