Inter-racial relationships/marriages in Australia

Heck, I'm all for inter-racial relationships and marriages, I know and respect a fair few couples from different ethnic backgrounds, and, as a nonwhite-Australian, I've always tended to be more attracted towards white Western girls- so I reckon I've got a vested interest in such relationships. I'll be damned if other (prejudiced) ppl criticse my perspectives- if I wanna have a stunning blue-eyed blonde girlfriend & marry her, that's MY business & nobody else's, so to hell with the views of anybody who questions my preferences...

I think, from my perspective, inter-racial romance is probably less of an issue here in Oz than it is in the US, given that we've got such a multi-cultural society where the vast majority of ppl from different backgrounds get along well with each other, & where- despite the White Australia Policy until the 1960s- there's been, unlike in America, less of a social stigma associated with ppl from different racial groups.

And to, 'genocidal relations'- what an ignorant bigoted crap-filled statement to make :( I know alot of very stable, well-adjusted families from mixed backgrounds- so why don't you just crawl back into the hole which you came out from, or go back in time to an era which shares your prejudices ?
