Flying cars, you say? How about this?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VRZNLBL7Px4 See Cubed-we already have those. And this was just one of the first links I found on Googling it. They have been a thing for YEARS now. Point is, we are not the "first" generation(or even era) to imagine or create such things. There was once this guy named Leonardo, who invented such amazing things as tanks, submarines, helicopters, and many others- about 500 years ago. And a guy named Jules imagined travel to the moon, about a 100 years before it happened. So many of our "modern" inventions have been thought of or invented.a LOT longer than we tent to think. What will the future be like? It will be what our descendants make of it!

I think in general, people are better off now than 100 years ago. We still face a lot of the same problems and we probably always will, but unless we forget everything we've learned up until now, we're potentially better off than our ancestors. Hell, 100 years ago, people were still struggling with the concept that you shouldn't crap in your drinking water.

I seem to recall in one of the last census surveys they discovered there are probably going to be more hispanics than whites living in the U.S. soon. Not surprising if true.
Although they should say there's going to be more mixed races in the future. Lots of people now have white fathers with hispanic mothers, or vice versa. Same for white/black couples or white/asian couples. Lots of white guys now go for black/hispanic/asian, etc. girls rather than other white girls. So we're having a lot more mixed race children nowadays than ever before. |

Although come to think of it... Spoiler:
Melting pot country though. *shrug* But genetics do what they want to do; long from now humanity will still come in different shades and if those in the future (far future) who get labeled as "white" are a slightly tanner version of white, so be it. Just try to preserve the diversity of eye color, that's all I ask. |

Most people end up marrying "one of their own", though. A lot of things can change. Who knows if Mexico's economy won't be in a better state in about 20 years and they stop migrating en masse to USA.
There's also fears that in some European countries like France, the Uk and Sweden foreigners mainly from Africa and Asia might out number the native populations in some years, but nothing says that in 30-40 years people from African and Asian countries will continue to immigrate ne masse to the European continent or that the fertility rates of those countries continue to be massive. There's always been migrations and yet we still have white folk, black folk, east asian folk, etc. |

Also due to the rise of anime in U.S., a lot of white guys now purposely go for Chinese or Japanese girlfriends. It's pretty funny and there's some articles online about it, white men look for "Asian waifu's" because they are anime fans.
I don't know if I would go for an Asian girl myself, but many of them are beautiful. |

No, it's not. I certainly don't mean any ill over it. Besides you can look this up, also a lot of Asian women look for white men:

Oh. Hm. Well then.
Well you've certainly steered this thread, that started out asking a simple question, through the off-road 'scenic route.' |

I think I'd be a bit insulted if someone's interest in me stemmed from cartoons.
Yeah, have heard that there are stereotypes... Ugh. A longtime friend of mine (Filipino woman into white guys) seems to have come across a little of that in a guy or two she's tried to dated. Didn't last long (thank goodness), just too independent and Americanized for their taste. One of them, a customer she had a crush on and only got together with once or twice, supposedly was going on some trip with a couple buddies to the Philippians. And honestly, while I never said so to her, I was questioning their intentions of the trip... Maybe it was entirely innocent, but I dunno. Nope... not at all. lol |

In certain countries/regions men of certain ethnic groups are stereotyped as being thieves whilst women are stereotyped as being "easy" or "prostitutes/sluts". I think that's even worse. |
