You got invited to the wedding reception? How cool is that.<BR/><BR/>2. At the risk of being called...whatever...I'm convinced that the human race is growing more attractive due to racial mixing. Every time I've seen someone who is jaw-droppingly gorgeous lately, I realize that there's a combination of races in their ancestry. <BR/><BR/>No massively important point here...just my observation.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648438549121320566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-68691746358342238082008-07-06T08:30:00.000-06:002008-07-06T08:30:00.000-06:00I really enjoyed your "favorite people" blog.

I'd noted it without really thinking much about it, until one of my cousins on the other side remarked that they all "married white." I guess it's a bit more ingrained in one side of the family than the other to stay within the lines. ;)<BR/><BR/>I also have a Korean aunt who says that Chinese men are the best ones. White, Japanese, and Korean are all bad. ;)MWThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446603415730525882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-34060670990863833032008-07-05T10:25:00.000-06:002008-07-05T10:25:00.000-06:00True, John.

I think there's a big distinction between attraction of the exotic and marriage/relationships (where many people look for similarities rather than exotic or exciting). I hope that it becomes more and more common to see interracial relationships, but as you note, it'll be a long haul.Anne C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09444051201220766948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-8404063317058689192008-07-04T19:04:00.000-06:002008-07-04T19:04:00.000-06:00"she pointed out that it was because our features ..."she pointed out that it was because our features were so different and that she felt the same attraction in looking at us and our Caucasian features."<BR/><BR/>Yet interracial realtionships are the exception, not the rule. There are, of course, cultural reasons for this, but even in the relative absence of cultural reasons in the US, they are still the exception. Asian females look outside the most often, and my wife syas that is because so many Asian men are pigs / want a surrogate mother. Western-educated Asian women are having none of that. Or at least less of it. :p<BR/><BR/>I often joke that I'm doing my part to eliminate racism by blurring the racial lines, but I do seriously think about the issue a good bit as my kids get older and begin to run into racists in school.John the Scientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467337009577733553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-74040563057034269712008-07-04T15:37:00.000-06:002008-07-04T15:37:00.000-06:00Yay, decent humans!Life would sure suck without th...Yay, decent humans!<BR/><BR/>Life would sure suck without them...Janiecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190655869710465713noreply@blogger.com
