We are all of equal worth, born equal in dignity and born free and for this reason deserving of respect whatever our external circumstances.
- Archbishop Desmond Tutu speaking at the United Nations

Did you know that 50% of all black children born in Britain have one white parent? Britain currently has one of the highest rates of inter-racial relationships in the Western world, producing a society that is culturally rich and varied. Does this statistic matter? Do mixed race relationships show how multi-cultural Britain and the world is becoming? Or do inter-racial relationships erode cultures? We want to know:

• Can cultural and ethnic differences strengthen or destroy a relationship?

• Would you turn down a blind date with someone if you found out they were of a different ethnic group to you?

• Have you been involved in a mixed-race relationship?

• Or do you only look for a partner within your ethnic group?

• Did you encounter racial hatred because your partner was a different colour to you?

• How did your parents react when you took your partner home to meet them?

• Do you know someone who has changed their religion in order to be able to marry their partner of a different race?

• Are you the child of an inter-racial relationship? What have been your experiences of growing up?

• Do the children of mixed-race couples benefit from a diverse cultural upbringing or will they never truly be accepted by either ethnic group?

Tell us your thoughts and experiences on the issues affecting mixed-race couples.
