The truth is that "race" is not biological; it's cultural. People have been moving around this old planet for 200,000 years. Wherever they went, they made babes with the people they encountered. All human beings, no matter the skin color, eye color, hair texture, language, or country of origen are 100% plug compatible. We are all basically cousins. Hell we share aout 97% DNA with chimpanzees and 90% DNA with gorillas.
Racists are scared to death that their children will present them with a mixed race grandchild. They have never lived in a diverse cultural community. Some of them are mean and nasty, but I find most of them are just plain ignorant. Theifr minds are shut -- shut tight.
