What do you think of interracial couples?

There's no such thing as pure race. Pure race implies that a higher being created humans in particular color schemes, and that the color schemes were eventually diluted over time. Generalize to think of race this way: you walk from the north pole to the equator. You'll see a gradual change in color from light to dark. There are no lines in the ground that separate one race from the next.

Though that was probably because our society embraces the idea that light/white represents purity while dark/black represents animal/base instinct. I wouldn't find it surprising if they were most requested because white men thought they'd have better sex with a mixed race woman.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Jesus, why are celebrities needed to prove that interracial people can be hot. That's like ordering a $500 chocolate cake in order to prove to someone that chocolate can taste good.

ps debating hotness of celebrities has brought this thread to a new low

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I thought I'd never date outside of my race, and for no particular reason either. Probably because I live in whitebread America. But then I dated an Indian (read: from India), and found that actually dating someone of a different race helped me overcome any inhibitions I previously held about how dating might be "different" depending on race. I think I was mostly worried about how my conservate relatives would be. I remember my parents used to study with a church that said God doesn't like it when you date someone from a different race, but it's not exactly a sin so it's tolerated if you do. Surprisingly enough, all my relatives were fine with it. There wasn't any mention of her race at all, really.

Though, I also think those inhibitions I had were also partly due to a sneaky kind of racism that I was trying to ignore, and I'm glad to be rid of it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
