... if you think that racial mixing between Europoids and non-Europoids is okay, then I suggest that you look into the history of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, and pay careful attention to why those civilizations declined.

Oh, I have. And it has absolutely nothing to do with intermarriage between people of different cultures, national origins, religions, or colors.
As a partner in an interatial marriage, I would just like to say that we are prospering, our son is strong and smart, and life is generally pretty damn good.

We're still here. Your argument is invalid.
and pay careful attention to why those civilizations declined.
Yes, I did pay careful attention. Egypt, Greece and Rome declined when they became too old and too inflexible. They declined at a point when they were unable to adapt to new, changed circumstances. They were so self-immersed in their glorious history that they assumed to be invincible. Ultimately, their ultra-conservativism killed these empires.
The same happened with every other empire in human history. Spain in the 17th century. The chinese empire and the ottoman empire in the 19th century. The british empire in the 20th century.
You may draw parallels to the USA.
Kingdoms and Empires die, new ones are forged, it's all quite mercurial, that's a basic history fact. Egypt and Rome are still there, they're just not ANCIENT Egypt and Rome.
Besides, the rise of the Europeans as a world power, the British Empire, was AFTER we started intermixing with folks from other continents. America arose as a result of already mixed and continuing so cultures and races.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
