Interracial Relationships

Well, I am not racial, but I do not approve of inter-racial relationships. Maybe I am just old-fashioned, or maybe it has to do with where I grew up and how I was raised. I grew up in south Georgia, and where I grew up, most people condemn inter-racial relationships. My parents were the same way as well. To each his own I guess...

My dad was a very racist man, he had 4 daughters and threatened us about dating outside the white race when we were growing up. Two of my sisters are attracted to many different cultures and that use to aggrivate him so bad. Then there was me always wanting to please my father, mind you I was not prejudice at all I had many different friends from all over the place of different cultures. Daddy would yell and scream at my sisters say bad things to their boyfriends. (very embarrassing that is for sure) Well needless to say when I was 18 I got together with a "white" guy and we got very serious, I ended up pregnant omg was my father happy. This white man abused the hell out of me which daddy did not know about for about a year. Then it all came out. My mother looked at him and said see I have been telling you it doesnt matter the color of anyones skin if he doesnt treat your daughter well he is no good. From that day forward my father actually changed and realized his thinking was so wrong. My sisters married and had biracial children, I met a wonderful man which happened to be white, we raise our children to love the person for who they are not the color of their skin. I have two biracial grandchildren that are absolutely gorgeous and are raised knowing both herritages from each side of their family. Oh and by the way we are all our own kind lol it is called Human!

I am white and from the UK and I am currently dating a Chilean man, I must say that it is the best relationship ever, we have been going out for about 1.5 years now and I can't wait to live with him. My ex was white and from the UK but my Chilean man is completly different, layed back and very very romantic and says his feelings so well. He is attentive and always cares about what I think. I think inter-racial relationships are whatever you want them to be. My family and his family are so supportive of us and if anyone says anything about our relationship being wrong, well they are not my friends. If I am happy that is all that counts for me.

there should be nothing wrong with interracial relationships...but some people can't transcend this racial thing...of course there will always be problems like racial differences and tradition or some practices but we should try our best to rise above these things to make this world harmonious regardless of color and race..at least america now voted for a black president..this is one step forward to overcoming racism!

Well if you are going to date interracially do it for the right reasons. My girlfriend is Asian but we were friends for a long time before we became involved. So, we knew each other well. Some people say don`t date outside your race but American is full of interracial people. Hell, one could say that if you can trace your family history 150 -200 years back you will find a different color in your family tree.So, if you want to be happy you should find the person who is best for you. It should not matter who what race that person is.

I really don't see why people make such a huge deal about interracial relationships. For example, if you were a parent of a Caucasian girl, would you rather her be in a relationship with a white guy even if he was horrible to her? Instead of be in a relationship with a guy of a different race who treated her like she ought to be treated? I've also seen that people are much more likely to accept a white man dating different races than a white woman. Personally, I don't think color matters...it's just a color. There are good and bad people in every race. It's more important to find someone you can have a loving relationship with.

hmm my dad is from Chile and my mom is Cambodian. It does sound cool to be into an interracial relationship but it might not be that fun. Of course it depends but when it's too different, alot of issues will come later on. What language should be taught to the child? how about religion? These are a few issues I experienced. But there are also religion believers that must be considered carefully like I know my friend is vegetarien don't want his children to eat meat if he gets any. Both parties should be very open minded and be patient to each other. But really...I am happy to have diferent backgrounds :P it does feel special and unique hehe

I'm an Asian male & I'm currently living with a white girl... It sounds funny when I put it that way... She's "Irish-German"... This is her first inter-racial relationship... I have a daughter from my previous inter-racial relationship... My mother is really close to my girl friend... I never went out of my ways to date "outside of my own" race but now thinking back on it, I've never dated an asian girl... But then again, I never felt obligated to go out & "look for my own kind" to date, either... I came to United States when I was 13 years old... I wasn't really old enough to date at that age... As I grew up, I had more run-ins with girls that were "not of my own"... Naturally, given the "limited choice", all my dating experiences have been with someone outside of my own race... I do have to say, race has never been a factor for me, when I find someone attractive & interesting, I'd walk up & talk to her... I've always thought of a relationship as something natural... If it works with someone, then that's someone you should be with, regardless what the race is...

I have never dated anyone outside of my race before. I have nothing against inter racial dating. Within my family there is a lot of interracial relationships and marriages. Actually, my husband's wife before me was a caucasian woman, they had one son together. I have no problem whatsoever with it. this country is supposed to be the melting pot, so why should people not date, marry etc because of their race.

My grandchildren are bi-racial. My daughter is caucasian and their father is black. I have the most beautiful grandchildren. They have cafe au lait colored skin. Zoe (9) has beautiful brown eyes like her father and Dominic (6) has green eyes like his mother. I am so proud of them. They are smart, sweet, well behaved and they are proud of their heritage. Zoe thinks it is so cool that President Obama is "mixed." Neither child has ever had a problem concerning their racially mixed background. They both have been taught that no matter what or who you are, you are special. They have been taught to be tolerant of others diversity, be it race, creed, physical attributes...anything about someone that makes them different from them. We have taught them that this world would be a terrible, boring place if everyone was exactly the same.
