Black and White

Today one of the boys asked me, "if a white person and a brown person wanted to get married, would that be okay?"
Which kind of stunned me since we've already gone over, pretty thoroughly, with examples, that (at least in our state) boys are free to marry boys if they want and girls can marry girls.
So I guess I figured the okayness of an interracial marriage would just be a given.
But as usual I figured wrong.
Yes, of course that would be okay.
This falls into the category of my observation from a week or two back that, if we could just last long enough as a species, won't we all eventually end up the same color?
