To each to his or her own choice. Mixed races, mixed ethnicity, same sex.... I don't care. Be with who makes you happy.

I think it's a bit cruel to any children a couple might have, but that depends on where the person is and how integrated into one culture or another both parents are.

are you saying its cruel to have an interracial child?

wait.

What? :huh:

What about the white couple who adopt a child of another color or ethnicity. Do you feel the same way? Or the mixed couple who does the same?

I do believe you are the first one to post a negative view on the situation.

I have been dating for a while now and I seem to get more white guys approaching me than I do black guys. I went out with my first white guy about 2 months ago, on a movie and dinner date. He was tall with a long brown ponytail. We got a few stares, while we were out, but nothing too disturbing. Now, I am talking to another white guy, who looks more Hispanic than he does white. I don't know, I guess it all depends on how well they treat you, not what they look like on the outside.

Sweetheart, I live in the Bay Area in California and all of my boyfriends have been outside of my race. My most recent ex and I were walking down the street, holding hands, with his parents on our way to dinner on the 4th of July when some man across the street started yelling obscene things at us. It's sad that people care so much about something that does not affect them at all. I've learned to just take it with a grain of salt and keep moving on. You can't let those people bring you down. Love is love.

Thoughts on what? If the environment you're in is leading you to seek justification for your relationship on MFP, my thought is, you should move.

I'm not trying to seek justification. I'm not changing a damn thing on my side. Like I said in my post, I like to just see how people view different things. Everyone is different. It was just a curious thought I had for the day is all.

Sorry, didn't mean to make you feel attacked for wanting to feel ok about it, or trying to make sense of a possibly hostile environment. I can appreciate that. I'm just sorry you have to deal with it at all.

My ex (just recently split, after 3 years together) was a different race than me and I got a lot of grief for it. I dated a guy in high school who was Filipino, and didn't receive and slack, but this last one a lot of people learned he was middle eastern and automatically assumed I was dating a terrorist.

He was born and raised here in the states, so an all around american. His parents and brother were born in Turkey. I didn't let it bug me (obviously, it was 3 years...)

As long as both of you are happy, who cares?

Oh **** dude, right on though. That's terrible ><

Nothing like the south to keep it 1820 real.

Wow, I hate when people automatically think something because of a race or how someone looks. Good for you for not just leaving because of the grief you got while you dated.

I think people are not used to Asian guys and white girls. Although I'm a white girl who thinks so many Asian and Asian-American guys are hot! And have dated Asian guys.

Anyway that's what I think. Kind of the same look a lot of couples get when it's a white guy, black girl. At least in my area because you mostly see white girl, black guy and white guy, Asian girl.

Nice thought. I never thought of children into the matter. I know I will still have kids, but I never thought how it could be for a child to be half of two different very races. I also think in the future it will be more accepting (hopefully).

Not a legit thought though. Doesn't do anything to the kids, cultured or not. Jeebus.

I don't know if it is just where I live or what, but I get the weirdest looks from people sometimes when I am with my boyfriend. He is Korean while I am white. I have dated a Hispanic before and no one would even bat an eye. I guess maybe because where I am living (Texas) you don't see too many people from the Asian descent? I don't know. I was just wondering what y'all's thoughts on it were. It's interesting to me to hear people's views. I honestly do not care where the person comes from, or looks, just as long as I am happy - and I am so very happy and in love.

I stuck a knife in a man's crotch in Bradenton, FL because he commented about how my wife was the right color to be his maid.

Lot of people have views on it when they aren't qualified for the commentary. Screw em. What is good for you is all that matters.

Wow. That's messed up (the person who made the comment, not you)

I'll say thank you to this

lol @ Texas and other southern states. they just cant let the racism go.

for example this Georgia town that had their first integrated prom in 2013!!!!

"Fast forward to today, and here I am heading three hours down the highway from Atlanta to Wilcox County, Ga., where students there are holding their first integrated prom."


do your best to ignore them.

The most racist people I've ever met are all from the north.

chloecats

are you saying its cruel to have an interracial child?

Depends. If you're in a city like London, then no-one is going to bat an eyelid, but if you're living in the countryside somewhere without a significant mixed-race population then not only is the kid going to stand out and perhaps not be able to identify as much with the culture they grow up in, but they might also suffer from a lot of bullying.

Potential health problems should also be considered. For example, mixed-race people are at a much higher risk of not being able to find a genetic match for an organ transplant, with current technology. I read an article on the subject just a few weeks ago. New technologies are developing to solve that sort of problem, but it's a real issue today.

I couldn't care less what colour she is or where she comes from - I was married to an English hippo, I've dated a German hippo, a French hippo, a few English hippos, a couple of Chinese hippos, a Polish hippo and a Ghanaian hippo. It's the individual I'm interested in irrespective of the colour of her fur.

No! I didn't feel hostile at all ^__^ I just wanted to make sure it was clear I was perfectly fine. I understand what you mean by moving too. And no need to be sorry. I am a-okay and very happy

You're overpowered too! I saw your pictures.

What about white guy with a black girl and an asian girl?

That's how I roll.

I've dated quite a few women of color. Most folks were cool, but there will always be looks/stares no matter where you are.

There were times people got out of line, but I've had more people walk up out of the blue and tell me/us that they have never seen two people look so happy at each other than the occasional coward who steps to me with nothing but hate on his lips.

Don't let others influence who you are and what makes you happy...

coolraul07

OMG, you too?!!?

First interracial dating. Then the gays. What is next? This?!

*ETA: FTR, I don't care. You do you, I do me... wait, what?

You're not wrong. I went for a weekend away with my then German gf. When we walked into a village pub, it went deathly quiet. How we laughed as we ran away from the crowd with their pitchforks and flaming torches.
