Searching For Interracial Relationships
We certainly have advanced as a culture. Imagine, only sixty years it was actually illegal for mixed race couples to appear on screen in Hollywood films. Heck even segregated schools were all the rage as late as the fifties. Interracial relationships are considered part and parcel of our more enlightened, culturally diverse society. It isn't that people are specifically looking to break down the barrier between cultures (although there are a number of people who do in fact seek that out) - it's more a case of cultural differences no longer seeming like the huge impediment it was fifty or sixty years ago. Interracial dating is just one aspect of how an entire society has gone from being a melting pot and transforming into mosaic.
At least where I'm writing from, the question of mixed races has never been more of a no-issue (I know that's a lot of negative verbs, but bear with me). It's simply not a big deal for a white person to date a person of colour, and while certain purveyors of naughty magazines may think that mixed race couplings are exotic or taboo, I can't think of anyone who's considered it a big deal. Breaking the taboo was passed a long time ago, and it's a little old-fashioned (to say the least) to think of it as crazy ground-breaking behaviour to date someone who's outside of one's cultural background.
While all of these liberal trends may have you wondering why so many niche dating sites continue to exist, there are still plenty of interracial dating sites which break through this mould. How important is a profile is in the eyes of the beholder of course; you might think that pointing to ethnic background is fundamental, while it may be of negligible concern to others. Always bear in mind that ethnicity shouldn't limit your dating potential, despite the plethora of specialized dating sites intended to do just that.
Dating a partner who's outside of your ethnic background is actually not anymore difficult these days than finding inexpensive dates ideas. All it takes is a fairly loose set of personal demands, flexibility, and an ability to see the innate human value in all of us, regardless of race or creed.

God is equitable to anyone no matter the race, color and culture. Interracial is just a burger that is combined with butter, meat and bread. You can bite the burger as you like, why no place for interracial?
