last thing I'll say too
But, actually, they do. They all run in a pack and they eat all my food, so, trust me, I do know whose raiding my pantry, and it includes "all" the guys, including the minority ones. And I love them all - although I wish they would keep their hands off my 100 calorie popcorn and oreos!
I hope it's not as bad as you make it seem. I cannot go out to movies or restaurants where I don't see multiple racially mixed couples. My sister in law is hispanic, with a wonderful huge family that she brought with her into our Irish Catholic brood.
Maybe it's because I live in a huge metropollitan city that has been named by many African American publications as one of the best places to live in the US in terms of opportunities and such. but I think it also is because it just isn't such a big deal here.
