EffieBlack I do understand the point of your poll, that good race relations is more than occasionally waving hello to the family down the street. Good relations means friendship and hospitality, sharing a meal, inviting people over etc.
However in my case I would skew your results so I'm not going to participate. My son has a successful happy 23-year marriage with a lovely woman who is 100% Filipino. My grandson (a truly great kid) is 50% white and 50% Filipino and I'm fine with that. Over the years we've had many family and social events with both families together and everything has gone well. My daughter-in-law considers herself a POC but I've never thought of her that way. She's a beautiful intelligent woman from an awesome family, and I'm very happy she married my son. We consider her "one of us," and she knows it. We have socialized with the Filipino relatives for holidays, birthdays, and family events whenever possible at least 1x or 2x per year. If I lived in New York it would happen a lot more often.
