According to the Pew Research Center, interracial marriages rose, nationwide, from 6.7 percent, in 1980, to 14.6 percent, in 2008.
Los Angeles Times columnist Eli Steele notes, "The day will arrive when this interracial generation reaches political consciousness and finds itself at odds with America's divisive identity politics."
Steele points out minorities in today's world often fall neatly into categories, such as African-American, Chinese American or Mexican American.
These labels have taken on powerful consequences in American society, and race politics is an element of American government.
Will race politics survive America's new "Interracial Baby Boom" that is taking place today?
