yeah, you're right, we have been one of the more looser groups. but you have to consider individual choice and selection of a mate based on personal issues. and also, other cultures do control whom people should be with. but you also have people within a culture and race who are against the norm of what is standard in that race. could be because a non-relation to the race they belong to, self-hatred, a bad experience(s), or just plain rebellion because of being forced into going with what the race/culture holds to high regard. you'll have those who follow and those who can't/won't. its happened in alot of cultures.
our communities vary more than what they used to if you ask me. you have black people on all levels of class. which is another aspect to look at IR from. could be why Geoarge Lucas and that sista are together.
don't insult my mixed folks, james. they had no choice of who they were when they came out of the womb. no one does when they are on this earth first. those who have self-hatred of who they are all-around as time passed......well thats a different stoiry. i can't speak for them and don't respect them either.
