I am fairly open-minded... I have had relationships outside my religion,
race, and country...(ahh the wonders of those college years, but I digress)

The internet is only a very small part of the cultural change of the past 40
years... The wonderous and somtimes ugly thing about this 225+ year
experiment known as the United States is the melting pot effect that has
become our "culture". The internet is merely a technological tool enabling
communication, idea exchange and commerce. More commonly, globalization,
relative peace, sustained economic expansion, access to higher education and
decline of the nuclear family have eroded some of the traditions,
stereotypes, morays and prejudices of previous generations. (Your mileage
may very on this point, since we are all individuals)

Whilst I have been relatively comfortable with cultural diversity and the
breakdown of many stereotypes...many others are not comfortable (including
some races, and a couple major religions)
For example....I have dated women of Asian and Jewish heritage whose
families "forbid" their children to marry outside their culture/religion (or
at least strongly discourage by way of disowning)
Just a couple passing thoughts on an age old question...
