This is a partially related tangent that I feel fits well with the OPs odd conclusion. Why is it that when people make this statement, the statement is always as is. So these hood-wearing racist white American families don't mind if their cornbread sons jump into bed with the first black girl they lay their eyes on? In fact, in American pop culture, mixed race women are some of the most coveted beauties we have. Or rather, even non-American mixed-race women, generally black/white and black/latina or black/asian are viewed with extremely high beauty currently.
Halle Berry (white mother, black father)
Thandie Newton (Zimbabwean mother, white father)
Rasario Dawson (Puerto Rican, Afro-Cuban, Native American)
Adriana Lima (Swiss, African, Native American)
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (African-Canadian, Samoan)
Mark Sinclair "Vin Diesel" Vincent (Italian, African-American) (you'd never know by looking at him, huh?)
At any rate, I honestly don't see it. I've lived almost all 30 years of my life in the Detroit area. The only places where there is REAL segregation is in the the ignorant, black inner-city and the ignorant, white, wealthy neighborhoods. For Joe American? It doesn't really make a difference.
