of love and race

I like this video about interracial couples. I like the glimpse into their relationships and the way they interact.

I don't like the part with the "psychologist" who talks about the show "Friends" being racist because the "friends" don't have any black friends. That's not a racist portrayal. Many groups of friends are of a single race and that doesn't mean that the "group" is racist. Anyways, only individuals can be racists.

I'm also not sure how "bad" it is that young children have a tendency to conceptualize marriage as a mainly intra-racial thing. This may be based on their own empirical observations.
