I agree they will become outmoded.  After all, I can look at my own family.  One sibling has children who are 1/2 AA and 1/2 white.  Another has children who are 1/2 hispanic and 1/2 white.  My DH has a sibling who's kids are 1/2 native american and 1/2 AA.  Even within the SAME family, there can be racial differences among the children/cousins/etc.  Oddly, of all the cousins in our family example, my children's only "white" cousins are the ones who've grown up without financial resources and could probably use a helping hand getting into college.  The rest of us in our example have done well, had excellent college experiences, good jobs, stable homes for our kids.  The white (supposedly privileged by being so!) cousins are the ones who grew up in bad schools, broken family, parental drug use etc.  Those kids didn't have much of a shot in life and it didn't have anything to do with their race.[/quote]
