How Interracial Dating Is Changing Society For The Better World

Feb 17, 2018

The world has been subject to bigotry and intolerance which has hindered its progress for thousands of years. As our society has grown from its primitive origins, both technologically and socially, we have come to realize that only through teamwork and acceptance of one another can we propel ourselves forward.

These days we have grown accustomed to the idea that racism is a thing of the past and that we have outgrown such old-fashioned concepts; however, the reality is that racial prejudice is still very much alive throughout society. Racism may be dead as far as the law may be concerned, but it continues to shape humanity by guiding our social interactions on a fundamental level: most marriages are between people of the same ethnicity, as are close friends, relatives, peers, bar-buddies - you name it. The structure of our society is such that most of us end up playing the roles of the proverbial birds of a feather.

This needs to change if not for the sake of progress and morality, then for that of pure logic. So much can be learned by sharing knowledge and experience between those of different ethnicities that it would be foolish and closed minded to ignore such an opportunity which has hardly ever presented itself in the past. One fundamental step toward closing this rift between people is interracial dating: what better way is there to learn tolerance and expose yourself to other ways of thinking than by including someone from a different culture or ethnicity into the most intimate aspects of your life, and including yourself into theirs? By looking for an interracial partner you are also broadening your horizons - maybe your ideal partner does not exist within the confines of your own ethnicity. I'm glad to say that despite the lingering intolerance of the past, interracial partners are more common now than ever before, with around ten percent of all marriages in America being interracial in 2015, with collective happiness no doubt increase as well.

I look forward to a time when we can all extend not tolerance toward one another, but rather unbiased and indiscriminate love which will join the human race in a way never seen before. Our newfound insight will surpass all borders, cultures, and colors because we will each have within our part of those who are different to ourselves and feel just so: more than just ourselves.
