I've been attracted to men of other races. They just haven't been attracted to me. Anyway, it's only an issue if you make it one. My half sister once called the child of a family friend a zebra kid. He was half black. Needless to say, she doesn't talk like that around me anymore. I don't think it should be an issue. We're all humans.

Some people are really mean to say things like that about kids. I think bi-racial children are beautiful.

Well I am Puerto Rican but I always wanted to marry someone different from my race and so I did. Not because I am against Puerto Rican men, I just had that wish.

I find women of all races very attractive and it does not matter to me what other people think. It does not go against the way that I was brought up. Even if it was, I would not care as I would date someone that makes me happy and that I love and enjoy being with. I have dated women of various races. People should not judge a person by their appearance or race. It is who they are on the inside that should matter.

I agree my hubbie is half mexican and half white. My family raised me to stay with whites only but they were happy I didnt marry a black man. Its just like the old saying you cant judge a book by its cover but whats sad is we all are guilty.

Yes I am attracted to someone of a different race, my husband. I am west indian american and he is italian american, but who cares if others dont like us together. What God has put together let no man put asunder. Which means if God chooses for you to be with the blackest man alive go right ahead and love him because if you dont you may be letting your other half get away.

I live in Europe and we're a mixture of nationalities. I don't how you define race. I've been attracted to other European women, but I've only been in love with Finnish and Swedish women, no strong physical differences between the two. Falling in love to a women of other race wouldn't be a problem. Given more exposure to women of other races would make it higly probable it'd be more attracted to them.

I am so attracted to girls from the Indian race. Now with the "red" immigration to the western world, they seem to be the new "hip" thing to date and now are most accepted. I call them the "New Brits". The way I was brought up is to believe and never look @ anything darker than my own skin. Blondes were my TOP CHOICE. Now I don't even look @ them. Being with the my x-girl, really did change everything for me. Man how the tables did TURN! It would cause a mjor problem with my society and religion based culture if I ever brought in someone from the Indian race in to it. I know both will CLASH big time. Frankly, I just don't give a D. Just as long as we're happy. ~ sigh

It doesn't matter. It will even be an exciting thing, I guess. I haven't tried this yet. However, I don't have anything against this. We can't stop 2 people from falling to each other. Live and let live.

My husband is black and I am white. We have six children, and we don't have a lot of issues surrounding race. We live in a small town where everyone knows us, and accepts us for who we are. It's a live and let live kind of town, so those who have a problem with it don't bother us. My oldest dd has had two incidents. Another student once said in class that he didn't like black people. And she was harrassed at a skating rink one night, which we suspect was racially motivated. Two fairly minor incidents, both of which were handled immediately and appropriately by the adults in charge.

Some say, love is blind. I'm agree with that. I had so many past girlfriend from different races. It's not about I want to show up some reputations among my friends. It's just something you couldn't get from the same race. You know, each race have their own culture, I'm an opened minded person that really attract to changes. I don't reallu like routines, are you with me? So I think race is not the major topic to choosing your partner, in this global era, everything might be possible. A thought about races is so old fashioned.
