Will the world ever accept inter-racial/ inter-cultural relationships?

I was reading an article just the other day about a coulple. the girl is black and the boy is Indian and they were in love and stuff. So they decided to get married and their families flipped out and disowned them. they have a 5yr old son now and they are still together and happier than ever -although none -of their relatives acknowledge their existence.
the question is, will society reach a point where it is acceptable to date outside your race/culture/religion?

The time is very nearby that the people encourage inter-racial/inter-cultural marriages. Hope you are aware, India stands first when we talk about caste system. Within a religion (whatever it is), you find a plenty of caste within it. Marriages between these castes (within a single religion) itself is rarely allowed!!!
Things are changing in a very good pace. Hope the concept of global citizen will play the main role...

There is a lot of inter-racial dating where I live (Toronto), but interestingly, I recently read that stats for inter-racial dating are much higher than inter-racial marriage. Neither however, seem to be an issue in terms of public acceptance. I don't really notice inter-racial couples when in public and I'm sure many ppl in my generation feel the same way. It's quite common and as such, mundane and widely accepted, non-remarkable. Frankly, it seems to me that socioeconomic status plays a far larger role in Toronto's dating scene than race although the two are connected.
This scene however, is very different from my childhood in the 1980-90s. I remember inter-racial couples being rare in Toronto then.
Inter-religious dating is a bit different b/c some religions stress dating w/i the religion, which some ppl follow strongly. And religion can be connected to race. Acceptance of interracial couples in this context largely depend on how strongly ppl feel about this part of their religion - so there are many levels from intolerance to tolerance to acceptance. But if they are very intolerant, esp if racist, they would need to keep those views to themselves in most public areas or they'd probably offend others.
Acceptance can happen! It already exists to a large degree where I live.

p.s. I should add that don't think Toronto is free of racism or anything like that. I have known ppl to have difficulties w/inlaws and family when in inter-racial relationships. But for the most part, in my social circle, it is not an issue w/friends and their families. Other ppl may have different experiences.

Unfortunately I believe the problem of inter-racial relationships and its acceptance is here to stay. This is because that despite the fact that we are making progress. There are some cultures that are sadly inherently racist and once there is racism there will be problems with inter-racial dating and marriage. Let me stress a point, most of these racially biased families would generally not have a problem with the dating part, but when marriage talk starts - problems start.
The question is what can we do? Honestly, I don't know. I have been commenting on the issue of racism for over 12 years which is hardly anything to those who have been deeply involved in the human rights movement, the reality is that you can speak about it, you can try to educate the ignorant, but you cannot change someone who doesn't want to change and if this person holds strong views that there should not be racial inter-mingling then like McCain you would be fighting an uphill battle against this person's values.
I have learnt the hardest people to change are people with a very strong value system built on ignorance.

I think that at the moment people from different cultures still need to find some way to connect for there to be a proper family link.
I think that the world is becoming more globalised and this will mean greater acceptance.
It is also partly a matter of social class; families who consider that they have a social status may never accept someone into their family who they cannot fit near them in their social model.
Greater acceptance is perhaps inevitable, but I think there will always be snobs campaigning the cause of the social Nazi.

I fell that this depands on where zou live nd what's the value of family, most pople don't want to chnage cultures in fact, we all have diffculties accpeting various chnages in life and in the areas i think for the zoung epople it's ok but on our parents side not possiable. even though some have made that chnage others will never, culture is a barrier in our life on various, while it is important we must relizse that cultures can chnage i think thta's what somepoeple feel that is should never chnage so accpeting inter-culture relationships and even samesex relationps faces great unacceptance

Inter-racial relationships, i believe have come a long way. Society is a bit more accepting than they may have been 20years back.
But inter-cultural and inter-religion relationships, i feel are harder for people to accept. Espically in these times. People have become more protecting of their children and loved ones, as to whom they may chose to associate themselves with. The pressure of sticking to your roots, culture and religon is more enforced than ever before. Growing up in Toronto, you are associated with people from all around the world, but a parent will enforce that a child stick to their own kind. Which is very sad because i Believe that if you did not want your child to associate with people from other cultures, religions, races than one should not go somewhere where they are unableto accept that.
We have moved forward in terms of accepting inter-racial relationships, but seem to be further moving back in terms of accepting inter-cultural, and inter-religious relationships.

Oh, I should mention that there are some nations in which interracial/cultural dating and marriage are normal, like Brazil and Hawaii. These nations have generations of individuals of mixed ethnic backgrounds.
