Interracial Dating - Approve or Disapprove?

There has been tremendous progress in America's race relations. Interracial relationships in the 1950s may have been life-threatening, but by the 1980s they were increasingly common. Elected officials sometimes make the claim that racism is just about dead in the U.S., and as far as the civic life of the country is concerned, there are few remaining manifestations of the slave era or even of segregation. However, there are still plenty of prejudiced people around, so it is still important for people to realize that they may have family issues due to interracial dating.
