Problems often intermarrying busy talking to young people when hotel.They believe that intermarriage can improve existing keturunan.Memangnya descent, race, ethnicity and culture are created by God in this world that are less good or even better?

I personally feel, in fact, making interbreeding with the lack of clarity about the status of a person. Status of the person in question is of course concerning ancestry, race, ethnic culture and even embraced by both parents.

By looking at the phenomenon that is likely to happen, then the next question arises, is it true it describes the efforts that led to the improvement of offspring?
