While appearing on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Joe Biden said biracial couples on TV are a reason why he has hope for America’s future.

The comments came as Biden was trying to answer the question, “Why are you so optimistic [about the future].” Biden said, “Look at the kids! Look at the young people — best educated, least prejudiced, most giving generation in American history.”

Biden, still answering why he was so optimistic, said  “Turn on the television — turn on — no, I’m serious!

He went on to say, “This generation is going to change everything. We’ve just got to make sure we don’t give up. There’s an ability for us to do everything from … increase the access to education, health care — look what we did in health care, all the talk about it.
