bastula.org: 4th gear

We were at Ikea today and noticed an interesting phenomenon: many of the young couples there were in interracial relationships. Not that this is anything new to us, but we never expected that it would be so apparent at a single location. I guess it makes sense though that young couples trying to settle down into their life would be shopping for household items there, but then why do we not see these interracial couples “en masse” in other locations (i.e. Michigan Ave, Navy Pier, the L, etc.)?

This wasn’t the first time that we noticed it either, it just happened to register in our minds today. Anyone else noticed this as well?
