Well, ideally speaking, hopefully people will learn to let go. Back in the day (and I'm talking GrecoRoman times) it was language. The term barbarism was originally a derogatory term in regards to language. It mocked the sound, bar, from an "inferior" language. That is much less prevalent, almost nonexistent, today. So, I think there's still hope.

Racism has been around for so long, that the sad truth of the matter is it's not going to disappear overnight. While it may be easy to enforce the majority to be open about it, it'll take longer for notions to take root in smaller, rural areas and such.

So basically I'm seeing two perspectives on crosscultural relationships:

1) If you intentionally select people for relationships based on their race (or other features like religion, etc, but that's IMO) then you are actively discriminating/racist/xenophobic/whitewashed/pick a term any term.

2) If you date people, and they tend to be of a particular group (often your own, or Caucasian), then it is just preference and how things worked out. You are not actively weeding people out based on appearance.
