Too much to raed all the posts above but here are my views;

In my Utopia, same rece marriage would be discouraged, resulting in mixed race children all over the place.

And therefore, in a few generations there could be no racism.

I would love for my children to marry into another race, or at least have the opportunity to do so, this is one of the reasons I am bringing them to Qatar, to broaden their horizons.

And being British, I am a result of countless years of inter racial couplings as all Brits are.

To my knowlege I have German, Spnish, Italian, Scottish, Welsh and Manx blood in me.

And as for parents spoiling things, is it not natural to flee the nest when you come of age?

You can always visit.

I would go beserk if one of my kids told me they had turned down an opportunity to stay with me out of guilt.
