When you see a mixed couple, does it bother you? Why or why not?

Doesn't bother me any, color or nationality shouldn't be an issue (and it wouldn't be, in a perfect world). As long as they care about each other and are ready to deal with any issues that may come up with their children, I say to heck with what anyone else thinks. They need to know ahead of time that their children are likely to be harassed and know how they'll deal with it.

Hello there tdemex. I tend to have a second look when i see mixed couple. Many people do this kind since they are curious what the couple came from or one of the couple especially if its not from thesame country. I guess its natural because we have the curiosity to find something when we see a different one from our sights. Just let them stare at you and be glad that they noticed you,atleast you didn't do anything bad to them. :-) Happy mylotting.

LOL I went and still go through that when I'm out with my husband since moving here to the U.S....I'm mixed (Jamaican and Polish) and my husband is white...Back in Canada its not an issue at all but when I moved the kids here I warned my hubby that it would happen (the glares, double takes etc) and sure enough it did and still does....I'll never understand it in all honesty but being from Canada it was never an issue ya know...ppl need to come out of the dark ages as far as I'm concerned and oddly enough it seems to be the biggest issue here in the U.S...Even when we go to Jamaica its not an issue..Mind you if we were to go into the heart of the city it might be with some ppl but anywhere we've been there it was never a problem....

I have no problem with mixed couples. I really do not see how it could affect me. If people payed more attention to their own house, they wouldn't have to worry about others! More power to you. If you are both happy, then I wish you well. So many people with their own race or religion are so unhappy. I think that if you can find happiness, I am happy for you!

Me and my bf boyfriend are also a mixed couple. I don't have any problems if I see another mixed couple. I think others try to look at some mixed couple when the two of them has a big age gap thats why. Me and my bf are in the same age, others also look at us because of our skin color but they always say that I am lucky with my bf. My bf will reply them that he is also lucky to have me in his life. Everybody thinks differently so most of the people looking at you have different comments as well. Just don't mind them as long they don't interfere your life, you and your wife will be fine.

I have no problem with mixed couples. In fact, it makes me happy to see people of other nationalities together. It shows that we are progressing. Love knows no color.

I dont have a problem at all! Im Peruvian and my bf is Black American. He told me that black girls dont like light skinned girls or latinas, just cuz black guys prefer us (some black guys). So that said, from then on...I have noticed that when we go out we or I get stared at alot (I didnt notice this before tho). So when he wanted me to meet his Fam I was kinda nervous! But they are the sweetest Fam, so not all are racist.

Absolutly not! I think it is great. in fact if I saw you and your lovely wife walk by and I got to caught your oe her eye I would say hello. Love comes in every color. And anyone who voted for Obama should feel the same. If it weren't for a mixed couple, we wouldn't have a president. Take Care and say hello to your wife for me.

It doesn't bother me to see it because I know its a very common trend now a days. Plus I have a friend that lives in Thailand that is married to an Australian. But over here in the U.S I see white and Blacks together and American's with Asian's my point is. We are all human ethicinity doesn't make a person. If you love here that's all that matter shouldn't think what other people think of you.

I don't have a problem with it. I figure if you love someone it doesn't matter what they look like. I know that there are people who have all different kinds of opinions on this, but that's just mine.

I'm a brown man and married.I have no problem with mixed couple.Our boys go to US,Canada,UK and other European countries.Some of them return home with their white wives.Many white girls can adjust themselves with their husbands family.The families also take the white bride easily.But some white girls could not adjust with this country and with husband's family.They go back to their country.So the problems are of the whites.

Me and my girlfriend are a Mixed to couple i am a English and she is Italian and we have been happily in relationship for 7 months now and are now just recently engaged and i personally think that mixed raced couples are beautiful as it shows much more love between world itself and i love my Girlfriend soo much and we get some second looks too but we dont really care as it is only a handful of people and we still go strong so yes i totally agree with mixed race relationships and i'm glad about your 10 years together with your Wife god bless! Very good topic it reminded me of mine and my Fiancee's Relationship thanks for this topic!! :)

Hi tdemex...The only thing that's important here is whether or not the two of you love each other. It's none of my business who you want to marry just as it's none of your business who I married. So as long as you and your wife love each other who gives a crap what other people think? I'm so tired of people just judging by looks - you shouldn't either.

yes it does i belive that we are to stick with our own race

It does not bother me, but I have 2 bi racial step grandchildren. And I have seen the hurt they have gone through out in public and in school. There are mean people in this world and always will be. There will always be looks, no matter what. I guess you just learn to ignore them. Long as you are treated will and love each other that is what counts.

I am an older white female and have had to become accustomed to seeing interracial couples. At first, it was difficult because I was brought up under segregation. After the military desegregated their ranks, things began to change rapidly. I doubt that you and your wife would receive a second look here in the San Antonio area where the military has such a prominent place, and Spanish is spoken as frequently as English.

I don't have a problem with mixed couples, not at all. As long as two people love eachother that is the only thing that matters. That is the way I see it, but I know that there are people who disagree. My fiance and I are both white, but I have had African and Asian boyfriends in the past and I know what it is like when people stare. Some people even shouted at us and I have received quite a lot of nasty comments. Unfortuneately there is a lot of racism in my country.

I don't have any problems with any kind of interracial couple except for one type. I'm not sure what my problem is, but when I see an older white male with a younger asian girl I automatically assume that she's controlled by him. My brain tells me this isn't right, but for whatever reason, it just kind of makes me wonder about the nature of their relationship. I hate that I feel that way, but at least I'm honest about it and know that I have a problem. I make a conscious effort not to assume anything about their relationship. Other than that, I really don't look twice at mixed couples.

when i was young, and when i see a lot of white men with a not so beautiful Asian girl with him, i will wonder why those white guys choose their partner instead of so many beautiful girls out there. that was just the reason i looked at them before, nothing more. now that i am older, i do not care about mixed couples anymore, even if the girl is not that beautiful.they may find something beautiful in that person that i do not see LOL =) and i heard people say some guys like exotic looking girls so just let them be. i was also searching for responses that will say they are bothered because i also want to know why they give second looks to mixed couples in the US, but i did not find any explanation

No, I don't have a problem with mixed couples. Honestly I think it is crazy for one to have a problem with mixing nationalities. I respect everyone and their preferences whether it be right or wrong and so should others. Plus their is not one living person in the world... maybe africa but seriously doubt it that is "PURE" 100% their nationality. People need to go back and look at their family tree and go far back and they will see if they have a problem with this they have a problem with themselves.
