Undoubted Overreaction

I know I'm overracting to this, but in the spirit of the new year and the hope for a better tomorrow, I get really annoyed when I watch those overly cheesy eHarmony commercials and see 15 couples that are the same race.

I am well aware that we all have our preferences (physical, professional, religious, etc), but I find it extremely hard to believe that, after evaluating and weighing the heralded "29 dimensions of compatibility" that you won't find 1 happy and successful couple that just happens to be interracial. Seriously, this annoys the shit out of me. And it really tells me that as a society we still aren't ready to see that on TV. I'm SO glad Taye Diggs dates a white woman on Day Break (to date the only such situation I've seen on TV). I can't wait for the day where it's not an issue and that people don't react to seeing this type of stuff or have no problem putting it in the public forum.

Ok, that's it. I'd imagine most of you disagree vehemently to this. Actually, most of you probably don't even think about it. Till next time, peace.

Seal and Heidi Klum met on match.com, so the EH people are bitter.
