- I had considered this (primarily for my own evil science-fiction-writing
- purposes), and it doesn't hold up. While everyone may be happy with
- interracial relationships (I am a member of one), it doesn't mean that
- _everyone_ is. Lots of people are not disgusted by the idea of an
- interracial relationship, but would not be in one themselves; they prefer
- members of their own race, whatever it may be. It is a matter of a
- personal preference and not prejudice necessarily. Anyhow, there will
- always be small pockets of fairly pure races. Especially considering the
- history of the human race, even general acceptance of interracial couples
- may not be terribly soon-to-come . . .
