Interracial marriages on the rise, but social stigmas persist

The question asked was not, "Is interracial marriage good thing for society?" Posters here are complaining that interracial marriage is singled out as if it were better, when that was not the question. Details matter.

Post the question, it is quite a simple request. If you do not have the wording of the question, it's alright to admit that. However, don't turn this into a bunch of short one-liners where you claim you do not have to post the question or some derivative statements that do not pertain to the topic, that would come off as trolling. You claim to have a problem with the question; if that's the case, you should be able to identify what makes the phrasing of the question problematic. But first, you actually have to post what the question was.

Were you trying to set yourself up for a "I didn't say that" moment? Any particular interracial. Marriage is no better or worse than any particular intra racial marriage, but I do thing that a trend toward random assortment levels is indicative of less focus on race 2 ich would be a good thing

They're responding to the link I posted, which does not contain the phrasing of the question, so complaining about the phrasing of the question when it is not in the link is premature.
The Pew link does not contain the question. If you understand how the question is phrased to the respondent...
Please tell me if you think each of the following trends is generally a good thing for American society, a bad thing for American society, or doesn't make much difference?
The question does not ask if interracial marriage is a good thing or imply that it's better than intraracial marriage, thus the bellyaching over the question is misplaced.

Indeed...nor is it racist to recognize that there are various races (some folks tend to want to ignore the elephant in the room by saying he isn't there, as if that would nullify what one sees). If one isn't racist why then can we not simply recognize races as...what we are....various races? As Popeye said, "I am what I am and that's all what I am." And we all are what we am.
Why then, is it considered racism to believe the various races should remain...the various races and in the words of God, "let the earth bring forth every living creature after it's kind."

There are various races, as well as various mixes of races. What's wrong with that?
Are you suggesting that the different races are different "kinds" mentioned in the Bible?

Well, that is the question this thread raises...is it not? I am trying to approach the answer from what we are given in the Bible and then make up your own mind. As children of God we should always ask...what does God say?
I suggest nothing...I am providing Scripture. I would ask, are you suggesting we are not among "every living creature of the earth?" Are we not living, are we not creatures, are we not made of the earth?
Genesis 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Living #2416 - living, alive
Kind #4327 - family, race
Creature #5315 - soul, self, life, creature, person, appetite, mind, living being, desire, emotion, passion
Kind #4327 - family, race
Creature #5315 - soul, self, life, creature, person, appetite, mind, living being, desire, emotion, passion
- that which breathes, the breathing substance or being, soul, the inner being of man
- living being
- living being (with life in the blood)
- the man himself, self, person or individual

You are projecting racist views on the Bible. There is no difference in "kind" for humans of different skin colors. There is no such thing as race in the Bible.Indeed...nor is it racist to recognize that there are various races (some folks tend to want to ignore the elephant in the room by saying he isn't there, as if that would nullify what one sees). If one isn't racist why then can we not simply recognize races as...what we are....various races? As Popeye said, "I am what I am and that's all what I am." And we all are what we am.
