For people with children..

Why? (Just honestly curious)

We live in a community (suburbs of large metro area) with lots of different ethnicities and racial mixed families of various combinations. If my family of origin had a problem with my kids marrying a different race, it wouldn't matter -- they all live out of state, around the US, and my kids would have plenty of support from friends and neighbors and others in the local community.

My brother married another race for his 3rd marriage and it has lasted the longest. He lives in the northwestern U.S. Her family is also spread out. I met several of them at a family gathering a few back and don't remember hearing about there being any racial issues.

I just wasn't under the impression race was still an issue in the U.S. and would be interested in finding out if it still is in some places and how people cope with it.
