I know too many people to count that are mixed in some way.

The attitudes my children have grown up with are completely unbiased and unprejudiced compared to when I was a kid and there was still some ignorance and blind hatred.

I think we've come a long way
and we're going to go the distance.

Racism is definitely a problem all over the world and not in USA. That's why I included stuff on European Union and Canada.

As a person of multiethnic Black,White,Hispanic,and Native American born from an interracial relationship and in an interracial relationship,I believe in tolerance of ethnic diversity and really hate racism with a passion. I always wished for everybody to get along and be in harmony which you would expect with my Moon in Pisces square Jupiter-Neptune in Sagittarius, but I feel that I am realistic about racism too which I feel that is reflected by my retrograde Saturn in Gemini in 9th in t-square with my Moon square Jupiter-Neptune.

I have definitely experienced racism including being called racial slurs. In spite of that,I am not a racist. There are racist in all ethnic groups too. I have known black racists,hispanic racists,asian racists,and white racists just like I have known tolerant people of all ethnicities.
