I have always believed the race is just a color and for the record we all have blood running through our veins. I have seem many people in interracial relationships and I don't have a problems with it. I do however have a problem with people who are predudice. It's not right and will never be right. We are all people and do the same thing everyday. Work, clean, take care of our family and so on. So no, interracial relationships do not bother me.

Thanks for responding Dseacrest, I like your views, I wish others would take that view, we are more similar than we are different and it is the differences that make us so unique. The only race that is of significance is the human race. As such why shouldn't one love and be the person they choose and be free from ridicule. People need to be less predjudice and should try to learn more tolerance.

i think they're great. i have a boyfriend and he's albanian. he's the same color as me but his culture and country is different. you can learn a lot from being in an interracial relationship.. you can also teach your kids (if you have any with your partner) not to judge and not to discriminate against others in interracial relationships.

Thanks for responding. That is certainly true, you can teach your kids not to discriminate because they would exist in situation where everyone's skin colour, cultural etc might be different and so it is quite likely they would not discriminate against or judge others.

Regarding relationship it should be a matter of choice of an individual.But I feel we can sustain a relationship if we move above the ridicule of people, it should not come or matter to two truly loving persons.

thank you for responding...I think you are right! It really ought to be a matter of choice for the two individuals involved. One's ability to sustain a relationship will not be determined not be determined by their races

Hi Julie, well you already know that I have an interracial marriage and therefore I believe in this it is a matter of two people being in love and love can counteract anything if it is true love.

Thanks for responding Kathy, you are perfectly correct. It is as you say a matter of two people being in love and love has no boundary. Often too, it is other people who want to determine who one should or should not be with and that's not good enough.
