We can't stop people in every country to marry someone who belongs to different race or culture. Just like here in my country (Philippines). Being born by parents who belong to different race is common here. And I observed combination of Filipinos with other races whether other Asian,American or European is good when it comes to physical appearance of their offspring. But I do agree, a couple always have to face a cultural differences as they go along with their life's journey together. Now I just just want to ask your opinion regarding this issue, do you think it's better to marry someone of the same cultural background and why?

I prefer interracial, I was happier when I was in an interracial relationship, I'm currently dating one of my own now but if I was single I will prefer interracial for many reason. Biracial babies have stronger immune system and 100% guaranteed the person you married is not your relative. Less chance of having a child with disorders. Another thing, women of my own culture tend to be so traditional and life is short I want to enjoy life.

In dogs halfbreed dogs lives longer than purebreds, It also worked for humans. it is noticed that there is less abnormalities and diseases with biracial people. Their genetics are more diverse making them healthier.

First of all, why we would want to stop people from diferent cultures from marring? What's bad on that? If they really like and love them, it's fine for me, it's their relationship.
Now, if it's better or worse, I don't know. Being diferent will obviously carry some communication problems and maybe problems with the cultures being so diferent in some cases. As adventages, being from diferent cultures may be a richer experience, as they'll be exposing to a maybe distinct world and another way of thinking.
Weather is that good or bad, I don't know. I guess it's depending on each couple, on their relationship and own their behave with the other.

When it comes to spend the rest of your life with someone, it doesn't matter whether he/she is one of your relative, from different region or even a different country or race, as long as they truly understand each other & most importantly, love each other.
Can love make a difference when a couple have different backgrounds or even different races, i say absolutely, it can make a difference & help overcome such obstacles.
Marrying someone of the same cultural background is for people who scare enough not to even think of having a relation with someone different from them culturally.
I suppose many people agree with the idea marrying someone of the same cultural background is way better than marrying someone from another race or culture, but gess what, this isn't the potion of good marriage, i say it's people tend to think so, but it's not.
