I really appreciated this, Allison. I'm a white woman married to a Black man, and I do think there can be positive ripple effects for the extended families of interracial couples, particularly the white family members who have an opportunity to understand racism on a more personal level. However, on the flip side, white parents can do a lot of damage to their multiracial children, particularly those who don't take racism seriously or don't make the effort to ensure that their children take pride in their heritage. My stepson has suffered immensely because he has a white mother who would rather not talk about race and grandparents who are actively racist. So no, interracial coupling is not The Answer, for all the reasons you outline here and many more!
