Well you can talk about colonialism and empirical thought as much as you want, and maybe it's true that you feel that way (I think that's what you're trying to say) and if so, I would think that perhaps you need to change your world view.

To answer your question; I don't think 'all' educated white people feel that way. It's certainly true that some do. In my personal experience, there is much to be gained by having children of mixed race, but it's also challenging. I don't think my parents gave it a second thought when I started dating a man who's skin colour was different to mine, and I'm certain they were overjoyed when we told them I was expecting his child. My parents are far from uneducated although they don't have university degrees.

Maybe my family is different, but the racial diversity in our large group is great in my view. We have people from pacific islands, Japan, Portugal and the Phillipines who have married into our family and therefore have lots of dark skinned kids running around with the fair skinned ones. The children are colour blind.

It's a shame some adults aren't although it's not a problem we have in our family.
