Is interracial dating/marriage considered more as a new fad or is it here to stay??

    You know I've never really thought about it. I've got quite a few friends who have married inter-racially and to me they are just married friends. Presumably it's hopefully here to stay. Maybe it would teach us all to get along a little better.

    I don't care. It's their business and if that person makes them happy, I'm happy for them :)

    Dad is white, mom is Asian, never really thought about it tbh. Just how it is everywhere I've gone. Nothing weird, but maybe that's because I haven't lived outside cultural cities?

    As a person who is Salvadorean, and has a long family line that can be traced back to Germany, Spain and Panama; I don't think its a new fad.

    But I do understand what you are saying, I think its more acceptable now so you see it more out in the open. Its always been there but mostly behind closed doors.

    I say be free to be with who you want, just make sure you are happy! :)

    I think it is here to stay! I know many interracial couples that have been together for years!

    I really have no problem with it, and several of my friends are involved in interracial relationships, one of which is engaged to be married.

    How are you defining inter-racial? strictly black/white?

    I think it's here to stay. Has been going on for decades already

    Here to stay. May seem like a fad because it's now more accepted than in past days.
