I think that although it would be great to keep different countires like
spain with spanish people i believe that we also need to realise its all
part of evolution and change. if two people love each other enough to bring
a child into the world i think we should respect that and be greatful that
the world isn't completely racist and it's nice to know that countries are
able to interact with each other.
