Personally, I have no problem with interracial couples. If both parties are okay with it, what else should matter? I think that most couples like that are perfectly aware of the challenges they'll face (i.e. having a biracial kid, their families's opinions, etc.)
And to my experience, biracials are some of the most culturally aware people because it's an issue thrown in their face all the freaking time.
Overall, I think the problem is because people aren't nearly as open-minded as they claim to be. A lot of people are "okay" with the notion of interracial dating as long as it's someone else, or someone not related to them (because they're racists in denial).
And then there's confusion about remembering your background. Stuff like "remember your fucking CHINESE ROOTS" or "wtf you sellout what about BLACK POWER". Cultural awareness is NOT living and breathing "this is what my ancestors are and what they went through so I'll have to be bound to these ideals FOR THE REST OF MY FREAKING LIFE." But to a lot of people anything less is being ignorant of where you came from.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
