Interracial Relationships

I think interracial relationships are great and I have no problem with it whatsoever. Who cares about the race so long as the couple loves each other. And best of all they make some of the most beautiful babies out there. One of my friends (she's Mexican) has a sister who got together with an African American man. I saw her first baby years ago and she was the most beautiful thing I ever did see! Much prettier than my friends baby who was full Mexican. LOL By no means am I telling you to run off with this guy and have a baby with him. I just think couples in interracial relationships make better looking kids! One thing you shouldn't have to worry about with being in an interracial relationship is being related to each other. Can't always say the same thing with same race relationships.

Well, since the United States of America just elected its first African American President, I think I can say, we've come a long way in our acceptance of racial difference. And we still have a long way to go. As with everyone else who has posted to your discussion as of yet, I don't have any problem with it. Love is love, and that's all that should matter. I also do believe that as long as you are two consenting adults no one has a right to interfere with your relationship. If they disagree with interracial relationships, they're certainly welcome to that opinion. However, unless you want to have a relationship with them or you ask them for their opinion, they should keep that opinion to themselves. No one, has a right to comment on another's life unless a decision affects them directly. Besides, I believe it is better to be in a happy home than an unhappy one and I say go for what ever makes you happy! Now, before everyone goes getting all excited by that comment, I mean within reasonable boundaries, and laws that have been set out by society. There that's my 2¢ worth! Happy Mylotting!

Hello vanonas. I agree with you on this issue that as long as you love each other, there is nothing wrong. Well, I have some colleagues who have interracial marriage, Chinese and American, Chinese and Japanese. The couple of Chinese and American have a couple of boy and girl. They are so adorable. Everyone loves them so much.

As long as you are prepared to deal with any racial remarks that some of the ignorant folks may make. I say color is exactly what it is a color. You know if you want to make the color green, you have to mix a light color yellow with a dark color blue to get green. If you want orange you have to mix a light color yellow with a dark color red. If you want a purple, you have to mix two dark colors red and blue to get purple. Colors don't care that they are mixed together in order to make a new color, all they know is they have to be mixed together in order to make that new color. Other colors can get jealous and want to do be mixed instead, but they know they can't make the color needed. I threw that little analogy in there to say this. As long as you and your guy are happy, who cares. Just know everyone won't except your relationship, but that doesn't matter as long as you two are compatible and love, respect and are faithful to one another. That's all that matters. My wife is brown complexion and I am a tan complexion, our children look like they could be hispanic, but they are not. We are happy, we love each other and could care less what others thought about us.

I'm against it because it took nature thousands of years to create our unique differences. I wouldn't go actively looking for ways to destroy what nature created. Man takes great strides in preserving everything on Earth except for ourselves. People think it is racism but I think it is anything but racism. It is truly sad when a people is removed from Earth. The Native Americans were removed by war and disease. The few that remain are almost entirely mixed. So not only did they lose their culture but soon their ancestral blood.

Nowadays i think it is OK to have interracial relationships. Although when it comes up to making babies, then ... Baby hibryd. Can you imagine how will he look like? Yesterday I watched movies "Lake ville", and this is the main topic in that movie. Should watch! Lady is african, boy is white, and they have neighbor: black person, who doesnt like and does not support interracial relationship. :)

I think interracial relationships are fine. My husband is Hawaiin and I am Black. I think it was harder back in the 50's or 60's to be in an interracial marriage. We hardly ever get strange looks or anything. I think as long as 2 people are happy it should not matter what color they are.

There's nothing wrong with that,it actually shows that love is blind since both of you are happy. I hope your parents are OK with that because if not their disapproval might dilute your happiness. As to people that stop and stare on the street,what do you care?

Dont worry about what others think? Just make sure he thinks the same way as you!

I think the two of you make a great couple. I am Caucasian and I have dated a couple African American men before. My son is even biracial. To me, it doesn't matter. I think it is all in how you feel about that person and how they feel about you. The only sad thing about being in a biracial relationship is that some people can act really stupid towards people who are in this type of relationship. But I think if you are happy in your relationship then don't listen to what others have to say because their opinion doesn't matter, it's your choice, your life, so live it as happily as you can!

who cares what others think? it only matters what you two think.. You will always find one one who will disagree, while others will agree, it is really up to you. the rest is no ones business. Be Happy and Make choices based on honesty, love and charter, not looks, or differences. What makes you two happy... Be Well!

I have had a couple of interracial relationships in the past. I am caucasian and one of my ex-boyfriends was African. It wasn't always easy, because my grandmother is a racist, she clearly didn't approve of my choice and she even told me that my ex-boyfriend didn't really love me. She was sure that he was just using me and only wanted to steal my things. I love my grandmother very, very much, but I got very angry at her and we argued a lot. The rest of my family accepted my ex-boyfriend, but they weren't too happy about the situation, either.

I don't think there's anything wrong about being in an interracial relationship. Sure, he may look different from your fellow Filipinos but it doesn't mean it's wrong. Just because he looks different, doesn't mean he's not the same with everyone beneath the skin. We all have the same hearts inside, as well as intestines, stomach, etc. Cheers~

Even as a young person I have always been attracted to other races. My husband now is caucasion (my big ol' teddy bear), and I have never been in a serious relationship with another African American. My friends used to joke me that my exes make up a lovely rainbow coalition.

I have no problems with interracial relationships and if you are really happy together I think you should go for it, especially if you have loving and supportive families as I believe you indicated in one of your replies. But you might want to think a long term relationship though very carefully as they can be difficult even in the 21st century. I think many interracial relationships can be very stressful but I think that they are getting easier as time goes on and there are more of them. In the past I think many interracial couples found it easiest to live and survive in large cities, like, New York, London, San Francisco. Places that were considered fairly tolerant. I think that there are a lot more places that interracial couples can thrive these days. Mainly I think it really depends on how committed you are to each other and how committed you are to maintaining your relationship. If you love each other and want to maintain the relationship, nothing else should matter. If you have the support of family all the better, and you will naturally make friends who are supportive. Good Luck. Happy Holidays.

I would have to agree with you that as long as you love the person it shouldn't matter what your interracial relationship is. I live is the U.S.A. and if I met someone that I really cared about that was from a foreign country I would love that person just the same. I think everyone is equal in this world no one is better than anyone else regardless of where they live in the world.

There is nothing wrong with it at all. If you love one another and have a profound respect for one another then that is all that matters. I believe that people have an aura about them as do couples. Love and respect always shines in ones aura making it difficult for others not to see. If there are those around you that are unhappy with your interracial relationship then give them time. They will see it if it's there.

I do not see anything wrong with an interracial relationship. It shouldn't matter what race a person is, because love should not see color. That is a very nice picture of you and your boyfriend. My husband was in an interracial marriage before we got married. His ex wife's mother did not like him at all, and actually offered him money not to marry her daughter. I think you and your boyfriend make a lovely couple.

It i s not the race it is not the religion it is not the caste it is the meeting of minds and the culture you have been following. Say for example a German born child is brought up by Chinese parents. The child may be a German, but will imbibe the Chinese customs and traditions. Similarly if your boy friend is born and brought up in Singapore, although he is an African American, he is closer to your culture. If he has been born and brought up in America, then there will be a difference in culture and adjustment will be more difficult, but not impossible.

very good discussion...I don't believe there is anything wrong with an interracial relationship. i never have been in one, and I don't even know if that would be me, I have had other girls of other races hit on me before, but I never really payed it attention, I think it just depends on your upbringing. I was brought up in a country church, which I don't agree with at all anymore where they believed the black man was the devil, I mean how racist and stupid can someone be? If love is the spark in the relationship go for it.
