For a long time, I have toyed around with the idea of
writing a blog about this subject and I have finally decided to take a plunge
and just do it. I love interracial couples and have friends that are either
married or dating out of their race, and I have noticed that lately, there are
increasingly more interracial couples at my church, in my suburb, at shopping
centres and other public places than at any other time (at least in my
lifetime). They even have a programme nowadays that tells love stories and have
featured at least two interracial couples. Could it be that society is opening
up more to the idea of marrying outside their race? I know for sure that
increased intimate interactions with people from different cultures does assist
in crumbling pre-conceived prejudices, and in some cases heal the society of
past ills that may have been committed in the past.
