Interracial dating..what's your take on it?

I recently just got out of a 6 year relationship with a guy who was polish. I'm Indian. It was more difficult for my family to accept the idea that I wasn't in a relationship with someone that was Indian. His family had no reservations. I never consciously think about the race of the guy that I could possibly date in the future. If we get to know one another, share common interests and like each other then why not go for it (regardless of race)
