f**k, sorry i forget about this thread.
Yes it ruins diversity but is that necessarily a bad thing? IMO, it would kill off things like racism and prejudice if everyone eventually came under one unified "beige" culture. People would also be healthier for it, because they would eat foods from across many different ethnicities rather than be stuck eating one kind of food all the time. Therefore you would have a more balanced diet. For that reason, trade would open up world wide, therefore effecting the economy drastically. As for a more personal level, yes there would be harships getting "used" to your partner's culture, and being accepting of it, but your children would have a lot more stimulation than a "purebred" would. Stimulation, in the sense that instead of learning and being influenced by one culture, they would be influenced by two. They'd have a leg up on the other kids who for the most part are only exposed to one culture and heritage, and this also includes education and knowledge of both cultures, like different lore and religious perspectives, and not to mention language (feel free to call me out if something i posted didnt make any sense. im on the phone with an intern from work as i type this so im distracted.) |

But if we became one "beige" culture, who would we blame for all the worlds evils and use as a scapegoat?
We already have cross-culture foods. McDonalds has asian salads, taco bell has authentic mexican food, pizza hut has authentic italian pizza. Thats Europe, Asia, and America right there, plenty of culture for one person! I think this is the only part I could respond with a decent argument. Eventually, however, the cultures would start to become more and more alike. When all the cultures started to merge, so would their ways of life and their ways of thinking. The different ways of thinking, which could be highly beneficial in worldly issues and problem solving scenarios, would eventually non-existent. |

That is a good point, however I don't think culture or ethnicity has been the dividing factor for different ways of thinking for a long time. Now, I would probably say it's religion, location, or generation. A guy from texas is always going to be a guy from texas, no matter what ethnicity he is, and we al know how those texans are.  |

I have nothing against it, but I prefer to stay within my own race/heritage. It just makes things less complicated.
What if we all come to the point where there are no more people with blonde hair and blue eyes?

So why is it that its only in America? Where other places like the UK, Germany, China, Japan, etc... all have high rates of non failed marriages? |

Well, I'm pretty sure British women won't tolerate getting beat, but yeah, I do agree with the main message you're saying. Which is also why im saying that love is not a necessity. It's not going to carry you all the way. |

That may be true in some places... but not most of Europe. At least not in Western Europe.

Another reason divorce rate is high is because people get lust and love mixed up and divorce everytime they come across a problem instaed of handling it.

MANY people in america don't take marriage seriously anymore its disgusting how people get married and then divorced a year later like thats normal. sign for ireconsiarable differances and bam thats that your done. but back on interracial love , i dont think your skin color should matter at all if you love that person with every inch of your heart then nothing can even come close to pulling you away from your own happiness. |

Love is Love.
When two cultures collide, and learn from each other, and the 2 peoples off springs are what they learned from each other, and they put their values and beliefs because of their love into that child... that's just beautiful. love is love. that's it. |
