In a world full of multiracial cultures, a lot of things remain controversial. In the editorial "Multiracial America" by Opposing Viewpoints Online, gives us various examples of the impact of interracial dating, as well as the topic of foreigners marrying americans. Lauren S. Mash, who wrote an different article but was included in this editorial, stated that many Caucasian americans have "Yellow Fever" & Many Asians who come to America only date Caucasian men. The editorial then goes on to say that that happens because a lot of people want to get away from their culture and immerse themselves better in the American culture. They are not racist, but they came for a new life and want to be seen as something other than a foreigner. If we were all blind, what would really matter? For Racism is a figment of our imagination.
Without colors involved, everyone is still a human. The film in theaters now, "Dear White People," is not about one viewpoint so don't let the title fool you. The film is trying to get people to move past race and into the heritage of others (Biola University). It goes through all these cliche stereotypes (from every race of course), and why are they are wrong. It is a controversial movie, but it gets exactly to the point of why your Race should not matter (Biola University). With a african american president, the question still comes up over whether race matters or not. Thomas Edsall states in his editorial that the "Obama Effect" has taken over many americans. The effect consists of the levels of prejudice that has went down since his first election in 2008. When Obama did his campaigns on television, it took away the stereotype that people have over African American Families (CNN). Though it was still a lot of criticism, it showed how people could be wrong with stereotypes. Racism is still prevalent in many southern countries, where families aren't as diverse.
