Supporting Interracial Relationships

Have you ever been walking down a street or shopping and you seen a couple of two different races? Or even a kid that looks like they’re not just one race and wonder what it is like to be in a interracial relationship or a child of two different races?

When you are raised in only one culture/group, it 's easy to fall in the trap of believing that it 's somehow superior to all other cultures.

Being in an interracial relationship exposes you to new things such as learning about another culture or religion, being exposed to new ways of thinking which can help you in the future, becoming stronger in what you believe, and also teaching other around you that the relationship is like any other, with challenges but worth it. Also, nowadays it’s kind of hard to find someone of one full race because of the popularity of mixed people. The world has become so diverse yet it is still so racist and full of
