What do you think about Interracial relationships?

i think it can be a beautiful thing as long as the two people love eachother and respect eachother. i also think its good not to have a "prefrence" when it comes to loving someone. there is only one race: the human race. being ignorant is soooo 1960's. its time to move on from that

I'm white and want to marry a fit, athletic Japanese hottie. So, I approve.

I've dated interracially for as long as I can remember and my fiance' is asian while I am hispanic.
I'd be surprised if someone had an issue with it in this day and age.
You learn a lot about similar most cultures are in most ways once you start branching out.

Girlllll, get it! I don't see anything wrong with some sexy dark chocolate! I once dated a Jamaican and wow... Wine pon more! I say date whomever you wish! I love me some exotic too!

Very true. I don't typically like blonds but i did have a blond boyfriend once, but most were white with dark hair, a Turk and a half white/half black guy. My husband is my first "black". I myself am part German, Czech and French. My husband has almost only African Americans in his family but seeing as he IS that, he's much lighter than any African i've ever seen in my hometown (it's a College town with lots of different nationalities) so he has white mixed in there for sure and probably some native american too.

[sigh] I will NEVER understand this....what does interracial mean anyhow?

Only ONE race as far as God's concerned....the HUMAN race.

Well, if you're going to bring God into it, there is the tower of Babel and what supposedly happened to Noah's sons because they saw him naked.

It's science that doesn't recognize race because from a biological standpoint it doesn't really exist.

I don't think interracial relationships are any different from any other relationships, because they are just relationships.

Who cares??? You are the only ones that matter. Enough said!!

My husband is from Chihuahua, Mexico (his parents don't even speak English) and I'm so white I practically glow in the dark. I don't care what other people think so I never gave it a second thought. And go figure, our little one is blonde/blue eyes like me. i hear what you're saying as far as people making assumptions, for some reason everyone is always shocked to find out he's an aerospace engineer, they expect him to not be educated or something. But I feel like that's their ignorant problem, not ours. :drinker:

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!

Haha. I was 18 years old before I knew that it was not just history book junk.

My fiancee is an educated, well spoken, well dressed man. My parents are just happy I didnt bring someone home with tattoos, colored hair and a bunch of piercings. Some people have voiced their concern. Luckily I dont care much what others think. We are happy together.

There should be more of them in this world!!!!:flowerforyou: i love seeing mixed race couples. Makes me happy to see people choosing to love someone from another culture/race.

Both of my parents (divorced) are in interracial relationships. My husband's best friend is in an interracial relationship. MY best friend is in an interracial relationship. I've never even considered having a problem with it, nor have any of these people openly experienced any kind of weirdness/judgment as far as I know.

The only weird thing I encounter is when my mother's friends ask me about my "stepbrother," who is in fact technically my half-brother as we emerged from the same uterus. BUT he is a completely different color than I am, so I think that confuses people.

My Dad's percpection is that it is way better to have mixed children. He is a farmer and knows that mixed breed animals are way healthier then pure breds. He also says this in front of people. (Thanks Dad to comparing us to cows and talking about breeding) :embarassed:

I think there aren't enough interracial relationships! There should be more!
I believe interracial relationships will end racism for good because there will be a day when the whole world will be a beautiful beige! :happy:

I'm all for interracial relationships. I've been in a few of them in my past - dated a black man, a hispanic man, and a guy from the middle east. We all got looks of course, but I didn't care, and you shouldn't either. All that matters is that the two of you love each other and make the other happy. Shouldn't matter if you're white, black, purple with pink polka dots, or have zebra stripes. Love is just that - love. It shouldn't have restrictions on it. You will always get looks, people will pass judgement, it's what people do. My boyfriend and I get looks quite a bit. He's white, but a tall bean pole. (6'4 and weighs maybe 175). Me on the other hand, 5'11 and, well, not 175lbs LOL. His 'friends' have made comments and questioned why he's "with a fat chick" and how he "can do so much better". But he's stuck by me in the best and worst of times, and I couldn't be more thankful. There are people we will all come across that will judge our relationships, and we will feel like we need to justify our relationship to them. But in all reality, we don't. As long as you are both happy, then screw what everyone else thinks.
