Should interracial marriages be promoted?
If you consider this a problem that needs tackling, one approach is to encourage Asian man / Black woman pairings, and another is to encourage more people to date/marry within their race.
That is already the problem: too many Black women and Asian men seeking to stay within their own race, and finding a very small pool of candidates. Lots of people condemned to a life of bachelor/spinster-hood, simply because they are too narrow.
They could do better if they sought to expand their options.
There is an AMBW (Asian Man-Black Woman) channel on YouTube

They have a bit of a website

So, more power to Asian/Black couplings!
...then, it seemeth that some of the Asian ladies pursuing White men, and that some of the White women chasing Black men, may be partially motivated by a desire for a sausage upgrade.
I can't speak for Asian women, but I think the white women who date black men do so for a bunch of reasons, the 'sausage size' not being a priority. That alone doesn't make a good lover.
I think they like the looks and personalities of their black partners. And also, I know this is a just a stereotype, but they say black men are less hung up about the size of a woman. This might not be true, but that stereotype alone probably makes some white women more confident with their bodies around black men.
I'm talking about actual relationships here, not those old women that go to the Caribbean for fantasy boyfriend experiences.
So you get white guys who like Asian girls because they think they'd be more accepted as having intellectual/nerdy charm by them...and white women who feel more comfortable around black guys because of the stereotype that black men like women to be curvy. This is just a big generalisation.
Of course you get a lot of white women who are open to nerdy men and white guys who don't specify a very slim figure, and most people date people because they actually like them - not because of perceived racial preferences/characteristics. But I think these ideas are out there in the culture.

Should interracial relationships be promoted? No... I think you should marry who you want to marry. Should interracial relationships be more prominent in the media? Yes.
Growing up as half Asian and half European, I went through a confused stage of my life, sometimes I still do. I think if interracial marriages were more prominent in the media, especially Eurasian ones I would have been less confused. It's a weird feeling. Kind of like a confusion of identity sometimes. I know race shouldn't and doesn't matter but sometimes it's confusing, especially when you're raised predominantly geared more toward one race.
When do you ever see a mixed race family sitcom on television or even in the movies...especially Eurasian? It's extremely rare.
I mean, it's a lot better than it was 10 years ago but it still needs to get better.

These days when someone is accused of being racist, it's probably more likely that the individual is just someone a leftist wants to silence and has nothing to do with any racial discrimination.

That's the excuse the right makes to cover their own racism. And no, I did not just call you a racist - but I do think they've gotten you to parrot everything they spout.

Actually it's more of the fact that I personally have been called a racist repeatedly online because I'm a conservative, as have many other conservatives.
Kraichgauer it isn't an excuse the right makes up, the left commonly tries to use the race card as a way to intimidate people instead of trying to actually point out racism.
Also to be quite blunt, I've seen more racism spewed from the left than I have from the right.

Really? I seem to recall how civil rights legislation from the mid twentieth century on has been championed by the left. Those southern Democrats who had opposed civil rights in good time became Republicans - much with the encouragement of Nixon's southern strategy. Since then, the right has used racially charged code words like "welfare queen," and scapegoated those on public assistance - black, brown, and white - for somehow being responsible for all this country's financial and social woes.
So how is the left guilty of misusing race?
