What do you think about Interracial relationships?

I really don't care. I hate people who are against things that don't involve them - like gay marriage, for example. I believe that people should just learn to live their own lives.

I've dated men who were not the same color as me. Mum was not happy. It didn't bother me then. I don't stare at interracial couples. (Though I DID wonder about this couple I saw Sunday at the beach who looked white and their three children looked interracial..) All that aside, I don't think I'd date another black, Latino, Middle Eastern or Asian fellow. The cultural differences you have to deal with in an interracial relationship can be daunting. I'd rather not have to deal with that anymore.

Hawt is hawt!

Totally against it - humans should only be in relationships with other humans

Other than that I have no objections

My 1st wife was a Russian Jew.
My 2nd wife was Italian Catholic.
My 3rd wife was Czech Christian.
My wife now was raised Mormon. European mutt.


Dated all races, religions, backgrounds. There can sometimes be external pressures that are difficult to overcome. Gotta take a "them and us" attitude sometimes.

Dude that's alot of wives.

Made me LOL

Didn't even know it was an issue anymore...certainly, as a society weve come further than that! Good luck and God bless. BE HAPPY and treat each other well and it's all good!

Agree it should have, to bad it is not reality!:grumble: it takes thousands of years for things like this to change in whole. Consider some are still alive from the time of ignorance about color race ( to put it mildly) in America. It has a long way to go. :sad:

My boyfriend is black and ofcourse, I am white.. And to make us even more "different" I am from Canada and he is from the US. I feel like so many people are judgemental of us. And assume, I am a trashy white girl and he is a ghetto black guy. This is not the case. He is educated and may dress a certain way, but is far from what people perceive him to be. I'm so tired of people judging our relationship based on our difference in cultures. I see him as a person, I don't think of the color of his skin everyday. What do you all feel about interracial relationships? Have you ever been in one or are you in one? And by interracial, I obviously don't just mean black and white relationships.

Why do you think people are judging you?

I think that there are people out there that are still narrow-minded, but I think that most people believe that as long as 2 people are happy together no matter what (race, gender, etc), they should be allowed to be together.

Do people say things to you to make you feel judged?

Are you sure the judgment is external?

My two older boys are mixed (with white) so I always support interracial couples although I havent been in one since the 1990's when it was "sorta ok". Now it seems like thats "old"..The new thing is gay couples or lesbian couples. Nothing surprises me any more.

If you are getting stares thats "shocking". Sometimes though people are just "looking" and NOT because you are interacial. I get stares all the time..normally from chicks wanting to get with 'BigCed"..lol. But hey best of luck to you guys.

Black and white? Fine.

Canadian and American? That's the work of the devil right there.

:laugh:

Currently in one. I'm black (to put it bluntly) and my boyfriend is white. I guess technically you could say that I'm bi-racial, since my parents were an interracial couple as well (white mom, black dad.), so naturally I don't see anything wrong with it. To top it off, we live right smack next to San Francisco. xD So yeah, a lot more tolerance over here, but we do get the occasional "look" every now and then. Hell, I even get them from his friends sometimes, like they don't really think it's going to last. You just kind of have to accept the fact that not everyone is used to the idea, and think of how awesome it'll feel when you finally prove them wrong~

How is it that we could "technically" say you are biracial? You are. By calling yourself black,when your mother is white, is denying your mother, and half of who you are. Sounds like you are ashamed you are half white? Yet you are dating a white guy....

To the OP, love whoever you want as long as they make you happy!

Oh and I come from a father who Judges...I still do not and find it apart of ignorance that will unfortunatly be for years to come.

Love is love; it is not subjective! Screw those people that stare or judge you two. I'm in an interracial relationship (sounds weird saying it) and always have been. My kids are biracial or multiracial if you count my heritage but that doesn't matter. Sometimes I think people stare because they wonder, they wish or they think it's beautiful. I ignore ignorance!

^^ This exactly. I'm pregnant, so I go on pregnancy boards and see women talk about how they feel they are being judged because people are looking at them. But it's not always judgment. It's in the woman's head that someone is going to think a certain way about her and judge her. That may be in your head too. I'm not saying that no one who looks at you ever has a judgmental thought, but I think most looks are just looks that you wouldn't notice at all if you didn't (deep inside) feel that people were going to judge you.

My husband is French/Native American/& other stuff and I am Korean-American. I was born here in the United States and raised in California till I was 18. My husband's family is very open and doesn't mind that he married a Asian woman (actually, I think that they are just happy he married a faithful woman, his last one was American but a cheating skank!). I will say though, his mother did ask me if I speak english and understand it and I thought that was a bit rude. I have almost a Masters degree so I'm more than educated enough to speak and understand english. However, we live in North Carolina and I will admit, sometimes I feel like people stare at us weird. I'm not sure if its because we are together or because their aren't a lot of Asians where we live. All in all, God made each of us who we are and I don't think there is anything wrong with interracial relationships

My fiance is black, and we have a GORGEOUS biracial daughter....but we get the stares sometimes....you'd think in this day and age people would be more accepting of it, but not the case " (
