Taboos

Especially in Los Angeles, it seems like people are treating their dogs as if it is their own flesh in blood child.

The Census of 2010 reported a 28 percent rise in interracial marriages and a 16 percent increase in unmarried mixed couples.

Kimberly Meza, 19, is a sophomore at Pierce College with the intent to major in journalism upon transferring.
