Think happy thoughts!

Optimism apparently lengthens one's life. So in the spirit of optimism, I will list a few changes that we could see in the next decade.

1. Marrying someone with another ethnicity will become the norm. Less racists in America will mean less sentiment to "keep the bloodlines pure".

2. Hapa identity will become a reality. Mixed race adults will not have grown up wondering what their place was in the racial scheme of things, because it will be clearly defined: Hapa. Mixed race children won't have to worry about getting picked on in school for being mixed, because there will be a lot more like them who they will relate to.

3. The government will realize that supporting racial mingling improves social stability and leads to a healthier, stronger population. So a bill will be passed making Hapa children worth an additional 2k in tax credit to parents. (Ok, maybe that's taking it a little far. But hey, I need to be optimistic!)
