The World is Shrinking! The World is Shrinking!

One of my favorite comedians, Russell Peters, once joked about the future of race in one of his stand-up skits. He stated that, “cultures are merging, and we're all going to end up, not white, black, brown, or yellow, but beige.” He further explains his theory based on two things. The biggest populations in the word are Chinese and Indian, and the more that Caucasians and other races mix with others, the odds are that it would be with of Asian descent.

Russell states that this will take about 300 years before everyone is a hybrid mixture of one of the two. Being that I am part of this mixing, it made me think more about the future of not only my family but also the future generations of my offspring. Assuming that my kids are a mix of white and Chinese, what are the chances of my children marry and have kids with Chinese or Caucasian? If they were to marry a white person that would make them ¾ white and ¼ Asian. Assuming this trend happens further down, the Asian blood would soon be lost. This does not bother me in anyway but it is interesting to see that maybe what Russell states might be true. The outcomes are enless!
