Dogscoff,

I think the Morman Fanatics would create their own colonies if given the chance.

I think that there is enough cultural paranioa in just about every society to keep 'the cultures separate'. Look in any society, and 'intermixing' is looked down upon, even in very liberal societies. You can force equality in law, but never force it in thought, unless some brainwashing machine is used, and that would require a lot of quarters.

(on a side note here, I never understood why different types of people are called different 'races', as you do not call a poodle to be of a different race then a schnauzer. Indeed, isn't there just one race of humans? The Human race?)

In Toronto, I'm glad to see a lot more inter-racial couples nowadays. It should be really interesting in about 20 years when a lot of the recent immigrant's children begin to move away from a lot of different traditions etc...

Amen. I just wish more people would realize this, eveyone is human (even lawyers....or tax collectors ). People just put too much emphasis on race (both for and against). We're people. Lets just leave it at that and get on with our lives.

There is only one human SPECIES. Race is more like nationality. Of course, some people living in different environmnents have some unique adapatations that are normally not found anywhere else.

Edit: Yes some racial Groups are "extinct". Some ethnic Groups in siberia are now gone, Native tribes were almost entirely killed off, and some of the first nations/ethnicities are gone, hauled off by a stronger power or massacred

The pure blood Hawians are few in number. The rest either intermarried or died of disease.

So there are natural forces at work besides one tribe of monkeys beating another one with sticks.

I'm living in the South (Florida in particular),and believe it or not, I see a lot of interracial couples. Sure, we got some rednecks down here who probably still have their sheets hanging in the back of their closet, but from what I've seen since I've lived here is that it's not such a big thing anymore.
