"The International Interracial Association (IIA) was founded in June 1995 by Konrad Hernblad, with the support of three other individuals. They all met over the Internet from places as diverse as Taiwan, Australia, Hong Kong, and the United States to form an organization with the aim of promoting racial and cultural harmony worldwide. The association is open to all who have an interest in improving racial and cultural unity through supportive discussion of:

    * interracial/cultural individuals,
    * individuals who are involved in an interracial/cultural relationship,
    * parents who have adopted interracially/culturally,
    * those who simply have an interest in interracial/cultural issues"
