Question on Interracial Marriage For My Fellow MyLotters

Yes, two people of two different races who have biological children born to them do have mixed race children. And yes I consider you and your husband an interacial couple since both of you are of different races. That to me would be no different if, let's say, I am a caucasian in New York and met and married a person from China and we got married and had children, he and I would be an interacial couple and our children would be mixed race. Have a great evening.

Yes, I would consider it an interracial marriage. Does it bother you that people consider your marriage interracial? I am just curious.

yes i would its 2 different races. so yep. ;)

Yes, the children would be a mixed race and if you are two different races then yes, that is an interracial relationship.

Yes I do. As so does the goverment. I don't think is matters. My niece is balck,white native americian so in that aspect I don't think it matters. But yes they are a mixed race. Which will come in real handy for collage. They can get way more grant's and and stuff for school. No joke.. ENJOY YOUR NIGHT

yes I would consider your situation to be an interracial relationship. If he is hispanic that would be one race and you are caucasian, that is another race so you have a blended interracial family. Your children are also going to be interracial because of this. Its not a bad thing and MANY people have made the most beautiful children through interracial relationships. But that was a great question. Thanks for asking!!

Yes, if a Caucasian woman is married to, or dating, a Latino man, then that is an Interracial relationship. There is nothing wrong with it. It means that you two are of two different ethnic backgrounds.

this is what I found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnicity#Ethnicity_and_race it seems race is based on physical traits, where as ethnic is based on culture. when it comes to filling out forms, the government of each country will decide what to put as classification. I remember filling out forms over here, classifying Asian, hispanic, caucasian, native and black. if your govt decides hispanic is caucasian then by law your marriage is not interracial, but over here it is. So race classification may differ one country from another, but ethnic will not or at least won't be as much different. If you read the history, the Nazis did their own classifying when they were in power. It's how each government does it, but each of us know our heritage that we were born with. this is definition of caucasian that I found http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/caucasian

I would consider that interracial. after all, if filling in a form that asked for race, you would both be ticking different squares. so I suppose the children would be mixed race, but not so noticeably as if one parent had much darker skin.

First of all, Hispanic isn't a race, it's an ethnicity. Hispanics from Central and South America are of Spanish (European) and Native American (genetically Asian) descent. Neither of those is a RACE except that European is considered Caucasian. I married a man of Mexican-American descent. My parents considered him white, although they never in my lifetime pointed anyone out as being any one thing or another. That isn't how I was raised. The fact that he was an a-hole wasn't because of his genetic background. So, marrying someone of Hispanic background would be more of an intercultural or interethnic marriage than an interracial marriage. But, as far as I'm concerned, it simply shouldn't matter. Unfortunately in some eyes, it does, which is why my daughter dropped out of high school where we live and moved back with her father to finish high school there. The names she was called by the predominately white, blue collar, "good Irish Catholic", redneck kids in our town were so full of hate and venom, she chose instead to "drop out" than "put up". They couldn't see her for the beautiful, highly intelligent, individual that she was (although her being highly intelligent may well have added to the problem since she wasn't about to let them behave that way without standing up for herself and anyone else they victimized). But, neither was she going to allow moronic mindsets to keep her from her goal of a high school diploma. She simply fulfilled the requirements elsewhere. But, from what I learned in an Anthropology course, we are more of a single race of people with physical attributes more dilineated by distance from the equator than by DNA (although there are a few unique traits here and there). Throughout the world, there are blends of ethnicities and "races" where two or more come in geographic contact. There are no distinct lines of division, really, anywhere. We just simply 'merge' together from one to another the way colors merge and change from one to another in the color spectrum. Yet, we're all of the same origin. I don't understand how anyone in today's world could think any other way.

Hmmm. i am a caucasian woman from the United States, my ex-husband was Cuban. We have a child together. No-one looking at our daughter would think she was mixed. She is as Caucasian as either of us. Actually she is much fairer complected than either of us. i guess it would depend on the individual child as to whether the child was perceived to be of mixed race. As for my ex-husband, he has light olive complexion, and jet black hair. He considered himself to be caucasian, although he was of Latin decent. Really, i only considered him Hispanic in culture, not in his genetic makeup. i am olive as well, and there is no doubt as to whether i'm caucasian. So i guess it depends on the individuals involved. If you look interracial people will just assume you are. If not, well then, no.

my ex daughter in law, mexican, said they call us white people even tho my son is halph native american. so i guess she conciders it inter racial. i dont care. my granddaughter from them is the most beautiful girl you'd ever want to see! the mix makes beautiful and intelligent kids.

Hi schulzie, I new here at myLot and your topic seemed to tickle my interest. I would say your situation may not be be an interracial marriage. Although your husband is Hispanic, he might still have a Caucasian origin from his forefathers. Most South American people (Hispanics) were not originally born in South America as history tells us. They are indirect descendants of the Spanish or Portuguese race from Europe who are also Caucasians. Unless of course your husband is of native Indian descendance (the true South Americans even before the Colonization times), then that would make my answer a yes. Well basically, my answer would be based on skin color. Thank you for opening up a wonderful dicscussion.

Well, yes... technically you both are different races, so you are an interracial couple.

Its not something I really think about but I guess it would be. I am a caucasian married to an Asian man. I never really thought of us as a mixed couple but we are. I have some Indian blood in me (small bit down the line somewhere) but so do most people I know. Most of us probably are a product of mixed races. I think the world would be a pretty boring place if we all looked the same.

Yes, I do. You actually made me second guess myself so I looked it up it up on the online dictionary and this is what it says about the word interracial: "of, involving, or designed for members of different races". I am from an interracial family. My dad is Caucasian and my mom is Filipino. I consider myself a mixed race as well as my children. I think children from interracial relationships tend to be better looking then those of one race, and not just because my own children are so darn good looking. LOL Seriously though, would it matter if your children were a mixed race?

I guess you could call it interracial but that's stretching it a bit. It will be a great time when we are all so mixed up that there are no longer racial divisions.

In the first place those kind of marriages take place all the time in Trinidad. Each and every one of my siblings has done this. So how do I respond ? Yes, its an interracial thing and as far as that is concerned its a person's choice. Why, Oh Why, must we look at it this way ? Are we not all equal ?

I personaly do not have any problem with Interracial Couples. So do not I see nothing wrong with whoever your married to! I feel that you should Marry whomever you are truely in love with. And not worry about things like race or skin color!

Dont be sorry.My daughter is married to a man from Guatemala,so it should not worry you.It is an interracial marriage no matter how you think.I am married to a Chinese woman and mine is the same.How can it not be??
