Apparently there are also a few white women doing their part in Africa, but the numbers of Africans, their birthrates, their customs and the fact that the ethnic majorities in nonwhite nations have not been similarly propagandized makes the task seem pretty daunting. On the other hand, there is pretty jewelry and mega-PC points to die for!
Interracial couples increasingly common, though many aren't marrying
Emily Alpert
When Berto Solis and Nancy Thuvanuti met, nobody thought they would last, he remembers.
She was a New Jersey girl with Thai and Irish roots, a fashionista streak and a family full of university graduates. He was "rough around the edges," he remembers, a Mexican American first in his family to go to college, a San Joaquin Valley transplant still trying to find himself.
"Everyone was like, 'Her? Him?'" Solis said, now six years later. "But whenever we just let ourselves be, we said, 'I don't know what they're talking about. We have more in common than they do.'"
More Americans are forming serious relationships across lines of race and ethnicity, moving in with or marrying people who check a different box on their census form. Married or unmarried, interracial couples were more than twice as common in 2012 than in 2000, U.S. Census Bureau data show.
Yet not all kinds of relationships are as likely to cross those lines. Racially and ethnically mixed couples are much more common among Americans who are living together, unmarried, than those who have tied the knot, a Census Bureau analysis released last week shows.
Last year, 9% of unmarried couples living together came from different races, compared with about 4% of married couples. The same gap exists for Latinos — who are not counted as a race by the Census Bureau — living with or marrying people who aren't Latino.
Earlier studies have shown that even among younger couples, Americans are more likely to cross racial lines when they move in together than when they marry. Scholars are still puzzling over why, musing that interracial couples may face added barriers to marrying — or may be less impatient to do so.
Some researchers believe the numbers are tied to continued challenges for interracial and inter-ethnic couples in gaining acceptance from friends and family. Marriage can bring family into the picture — and stir up their disapproval — in ways that rooming together does not. . . .
Those darn bigoted families! Seriously, even 9 and 4 percent do not seem to be quite the bandwagon to the race-blind utopia that our hostile ruling elites have been propagandizing for decades.
Not long ago I logged onto the main page of Amazon Prime that featured a happy prosperous couple on a sofa, white male, black female, mixed-race child, possibly models or actors, presented as watching Amazon Prime's exciting streaming fair. You can't help but speculate on motives, since obviously a lot of thought and planning must go into such expensive full-screen ads, and it seems that a business would want to aim for as many potential customers as possible. So why choose an image of a family that is still pretty out-of-the-box for the vast majority of Americans of all races?
As mysterious these things may be, nowadays they are pretty much wall-to-wall predictable. But why this stuck out for me was that as I started looking at the Amazon screen, I had just picked up a hard-copy national health newsletter that on the page I happened to be glancing down at featured an article that provided the latest medical news on 'Healthy Sex for Seniors,' or something close thereto. And, yes, you guessed it, featured were another mixed-race couple, this one, black man, white woman, probably 50s to 60s, both adorned in soft white terrycloth robes, smiling and gazing at each other, apparently in some sort of tingly afterglow. So the question cries out: Why would even a medical center national health newsletter feel the need to propagandize in favor of race-mixing, among seniors no less, which is even more rare?
One explanation that has been put forth for awhile is that a smoothly running economic globalism will demand that all of us become interchangeable economic cogs in the machine of mass consumerism. Maybe so, although after this process is successful--which includes mass in-migration, disproportionate birthrates and staggering nonwhite-on-white violent crime casualties that are demographic overwhelming whites in all western nations--there will still be a majority of ethnic Chinese in China, Japanese in Japan, Mexicans in Mexico and Africans in Africa, despite the cheerful can-do efforts of the woman pictured above.
