This guy is retarded. Most people still tend to date within their own ethnic group but with a multicultural society you will see more and more interracial couples. Why this is upsetting I will never know.
Video was removed, so I can't really comment on that directly. There's definitely a drive in some people to try and dehumanise others for their differences. Our brains just like to divide people up in to camps of 'us' and 'them'. If those divisions are viewed as racial divides (where a 'race' itself is a subjective classification anyway), then we're just revolted to see 'one of ours' with someone not quite as human as we are when it's an interracial couple.
Frankly it's odd to even hear people still say "interracial" around where I am. I'm white, my girlfriend's brown, and nobody really cares. When people see all their neighbours as equals, this sort of thinking disappears. Of course, so will a lot of the fetishization of racial groups too.
