Most of the racist remarks, or opposing views (to put it a little more
lightly) that I have been exposed to regarding the ads and such we have
been discussing are that "mixed" children will feel separated from
others, or made fun of. You'll hear white separatists oppose such ads
because of what they term themselves, separatists. I think it's all
pretty crazy and out of hand...seeing how we are all ONE species!
