    I am African American (but with a creole family tree - African, French and Native American) and my husband is Mexican. We have been together almost 20 years. I never would have thought I would marry outside of my race, but I quickly learned that love doesn't care about skin color. :blushing: We have 2 children who love everything about both cultures. Our holidays are anything but traditional and full of love. :smooched:

    Reading everyone else's posts made me smile! Very cool stuff indeed!

    While on the topic.....does anyone's family have a problem with their interracial relationships?

    My mother and one sister that I am closet too never had a major problem.....little confused at first, but overall very good. But I have two other sisters that I have not spoken to in almost 20 years because of it. It divided the entire family, I have no idea where they even are, and I don't even know if they know our mother died 9 years ago or anything.....

    My best girlfriend, who is white, married an African (Ghana), and her father has come along now, but told her when we were teenagers and we both started dating foreign men that he would rather have her with a white man that beats her than with a black man......he did not even met her husband til the night before the wedding....and her husband is AMAZING, we have been best friends for 30 years and I love them both dearly.

    Everyone on this thread so far seems to have great experiences, but I know I am not the only one that had a rough one.....

    It depends on the culture. Fortunately both me & my ex are Christians (though Im not religious) & our families are more open though mine is having this male chuvinism but his is more egalitarian that I like the most.

    However keep in mind that while you cannot change your parents or culture, you have total control over yourself & your destiny.

    Thank you for the topic, it's an awesome one.

    My wife and I have been married coming up on 10 yrs now, and we've been together for about 14. She's African-American, and I'm a Causasian mutt (french-english-irish-scotch-welsh-german-cherokee).

    Both of our immediate families have no issues whatsoever with our marriage. My in-laws love me, and her in-laws love her! We are also fortunate, like a previous poster, to have a Christ-centered marriage.

    As for culture, we both have brought much to the table, what with she being from New York and me being from Pittsburgh, and we both love to cook and entertain (why we're on here in the first place!). I was previously married to a Cuban woman, and it was through her that I picked up some wonderful Cuban recipes.

    Im mexican.. ive never dated a mexican, nor latino in general.. always white , what can I say, im in love with white guys :smooched:

    I'm into white guys myself :bigsmile: :love:

    But it would be in my dreams to actually marry one *sigh* :ohwell:

    I'm Asian. I've always been super jealous that I was not of mixed race, so thats why I want to marry and have hapa kids. LOL. Only problem that I'm finding is that I'm pretty picky - I do like my white men, however I'm a foodie and can't stand basic/bland guys in that department!

    SICK horrific thing to say.

    What happens when you have a "hapa" kid and the kid actually looks more asian than you?

    I'm half asian/half caucasian but look more asian than my mother. You'd actually marry a white man to have hapa kids? SICK.

    Twisted.

    What are you going to tell your future "hapa" son if he turns out to look very asain.

    Guess what peeps, sometimes "mixed kids" don't look mixed at all.

    I don't.

    This particular post just goes to show that one can be in a interracial relationship or want to be with someone of another race and still be very racist themselves.

    I have two kids myself but I never would pick man based on what our "kids" might look like. I've gone out with my fellow asian guys, black, white...etc...

    Never did I date them in hopes of breeding and producing more cute mixed kids. I would hate for a man to be with me because he is into asian or mixed asian women. In fact evey time I hear some man say that to me..he never gets a 2nd date. In fact, I cut a date short becuase a man said, "I love asian women."

    I would want to be judged on me individually not on my race even if he worships at the altar of mixed asian women or whatever. I'd rather be with guy who lliked me because we had common interests..not because I fulfill some sick fetish.
