What's wrong with them? Why are they so reviled? I personally believe we shouldn't discourage it as much as we do. This is the twenty-first fucking century, let's move on past the phase of 'keeping within your own race'. This is real life, not Warcraft.

For example, my school has a large African-American population (not necessarily the majority, though; my school has no majority) and a scary percentage of these students believe that racism is simply a term for when a white man or woman impedes or is invasive to the affairs of people of other ethnic groups. They never realize that the term is universally applicable. They say things such as "...and that's why I HATE white people!!!" and they believe that romantically associating oneself with those of another skin color is taboo and 'crossing the boundary'. Myself on the other hand, being neither white nor black, can't see the logic and mental workings behind these statements. What is so venomous about coming to terms with the belief that skin, hair-curliness, nose size, etc. shouldn't come in the way of love? You know, at times I feel like this country is a battleground between races: Whites vs. Everyone Else.

We once playied "white vs" at my school, "pakis" were terrible mainly but they got the blacks who were better than the white but in much smaller numbers than whites or browns. We got turks and Iraqis as well but only cause the Turks only have white friends and no one likes the Iraqi (who was desperate to go with the browns and blacks but was rejected).

A rising number of biologers question the existence of race. Race is basically just a big group of people which have slightly different adaptions to their former environment (which are now rendered obsolete with the rise of technology). Why do people even distinguish races to begin with?

98% of the internet population has a Myspace. If you're part of the 2% that isn't an emo bastard, copy and paste this into your sig.

Nothing wrong with inter-racial relationships AT ALL. People are people are people. Such superficialities as skin colour are of no importance.

Come even though you have broken your vows a thousand times,
Come, and come yet again.

People often form prejudices against another "group" in order to raise their own self esteem.

For example, a group of black people may make a point of setting themselves apart from the a group of whites and develop a negative feeling towards that group in order to feel better about themselves. Of course, that's a very simplistic explanation and prejudice and group divides go far far deeper than that, but I do believe that this could form the basic foundations for such prejudices.

It's hard for me to say though, as I don't live in a very multicultural area.

Dirk isn't a native English speaker. There are some very subtle corner cases in English grammar. He just got caught in one.

Dirk, it's "biologist". You made a good guess, but sadly it was wrong at this time.

Because people like to feel superior to other people.
To hell with that.

Why are they so reviled? I dunno, to be quite honest. I'm the offspring of a Qatari and Pakistani, Qatari's ( and the rest of the Arabian world) tend to view Pakis as inferior in a very slave-like way. I through hell for it. Like Bohemian said, people are people are people.

No. The question: "if all races are equal then how come white people have dominated over all the others?" is taboo. It's a highly sensitive issue and no objective researcher has tried to answer it. Because of that many people have come to the, IMO wrong, conclusion that they're not. My opinion is that the reasons for the gaps you mentioned are sociological, not genetic.
