I guess I've said this before, but I still think there's far more to be gained (for both parents and children) from having multiethnic children than from having homogeneous children. This doesn't mean it will be "easier," whatever that means, but it doesn't HAVE to be a major issue if it is handled properly. Having a multiethnic child is not the equivalent of having a child when the parents knew they were at risk for a genetic disease. That is assuming that ethnicity is always a detriment to an individual; it is not.
Yes, it may depend on where you are raised. But I don't think that in America, the South is full of racists and the North is full of closet-racists. That's an overly pessimistic and generalized view. There is just too much complexity involved in people's opinions and upbringings to lump them into those categories.
