    I don't have a problem with interracial relationships..but those that only date outside their ethnic group because they have stereotyped possible mates within their own race are annoying to say the least..as well as it annoys me when people are quick to imply a person who only dates within their race as racist or bigoted..I think if you want to date outside your ethnic group.. it shouldn't be a big deal..and if you choose not to..that also shouldn't be a big deal..date who you want and are attracted to..

    'nuff said. my child is bi-racial. his dad is black, i am german and hispanic. no one should have a problem with who YOU date. they are not in your relationship and society will always be society. you cant change them, just have to learn to ignore them.

    Every relationship I have been in has been interracial. Then again I am a multiracial (East Indian, Native American, and Japanese) yet never have dated anyone that was N. American or Indian. I have noticed a somewhat one-sided deal with white men and ethnic women. Though I notice as I get older, more women prefer vanilla and chocolate and avoid the more exotic flavors lol.

    It’s hard enough to find “The One”. To find a person in this world that you want to wake up next to every morning for the rest of your life, a person that you want to raise children with, travel with, talk through the night with, celebrate/laugh/cry with, who’s smile brightens up your whole day, a person you dream about growing old with and can’t imagine your life without; to find that person, is hard enough. When you find that person, your soul-mate, “The One”, fight for them. Don’t let race, sexuality, age, distance, weight, other people’s opinions or any other obstacle impact your decision or get in the way of being happy with that person…it’s hard enough find “The One”.

    I'm American and my hubby is Peruvian. Sometimes we get stares but we shrug it off. At the beginning of our relationship, I got pulled aside a lot because people wanted to know if we were a real couple or only looked like one to get his papers. (We're a real couple btw, he did the immigration stuff on his own.) When our babies were younger, they were both very white, like me, so some people couldn't believe that he was their father. Now, they can't believe that I'm their Mom because they're so much darker than me.

    People are people. There's nothing wrong with two people being together.

    I am a white American married to a Canadian/Iranian Persian man. I've dated every race you'd check off of a box on a standardized test. I couldn't care less what race/ethnicity/religion you are, so long as you're a decent human being. That and I have a weakness for Middle Eastern/darker featured men <3

    I had a bi-racial child in 1975, so I guess that answers your question.
    I remember an idiot that I worked with (a black guy) saying, knowing that I had a bi-racial child, that people shouldn't have bi-racial children because they'll never be successful. I asked him what defines successful. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Making six figures." I replied, "Well, I guess that makes you a pretty miserable failure."
    For the record, my unsuccessful bi-racial child is now thirty-seven years old. He served 10 years in the United States Navy, graduating from the nuclear technology program, one of the most expensive and difficult programs that the Navy has to offer.. After coming out of the Navy he went on to the University of Buffalo, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering. He now has a job as the superintendent of maintenance at the Buffalo Sewer Authority. Yes --- the sewer authority. I call him Norton (The Honeymooners, for the younger set) but, hey --- a government job is a government job. And as the superintendent, he doesn't have to get his hands dirty.
    I'd tell the miserable loser how my unsuccessful bi-racial son is doing, but about 10 years ago he died from a heart attack, caused by years of cocaine abuse.

    I have been in an amazing Interracial marriage for 25 years. Two kids, 23 and 18, that are thrilled with their lives. I don't notice the color of my husband's skin unless we stand next to each other in a mirror. Everyone wants to be loved. Love sees no color. It just isn't a factor.

    I have no problem with it. I'm half filipina and half white. My husband is white. We love each other very much. We are all the same on the inside and bleed the same color. People drive me insane for thinking races should stay with races :explode:

    Nothing wrong with interracial relationships. I think about it this way, my Mom is English, Scottish, Norwegian, and German. My Dad is German and Irish. So I am all those things, and my husband is Italian, English, and Welsh as well as some Native American. That is very interracial, and we've both been born and raised in the USA. :tongue: . People's skin color is just a result of their genetics. We're still ALL people.

    I agree this is 2012, get over the race thing already, we all bleed, we all love, we all die. Why can't everyone just shut up and get along?

    The only time I care about other people's personal/sexual relationships is when I am involved.

    So in other words, who gives a flying squirrel, as long as you are happy and treated with dignity & respect.

    this has got to be the best comment of the whole topic

    my mum is white european (Polish) and my dad is very dark (Portuguese)
    Only 30 years ago when they got together some family members would not allow them into their homes. its disgusting to think how people treated them and the most ironic part - theyve just celebrated their 31st wedding anniversary and are still very happy, they barely remember how people treated them.

    If you are one of the people asking this question, or advocating that it even matters, take a closer look in the mirror and ask yourself why it even matters to you the colour of someones skin.

    Disgusted that this is even a topic

    Most of the time, I'd settle for them just shutting-up. It seems that too often, the less intelligent someone is, the more they wish to discuss... everything... constantly.

    I think that we all forget that our own President (US), is also biracial (good for him!). However, most of the people in this country completely disregards his maternal genes, and only consider the color of his skin.

    Yes, we still have problems with mix marriages in the USA. Shame on us!

    I've been in love with my husband for 20 years, and I'm only 31. Our kids are the most beautiful things on earth to us, and are interracial. God bless our Country!

    Everybody's mixed, yall didnt know?!?! :tongue: If you search your blood line far enough, you will see that for yourself. I'm bi-racial, and I LOVE it!!! Best of both worlds!! But it's sad to say that there are still sooooo many ignorant people in this world that are just....shallow. God made us all so who cares what your skin looks like. I'll put it bluntly; your blood is red, you breathe the same air to survive, AND your $h*t stinks just like anybody elses. Any questions?
