Hello, i'm not sure how I feel about interracial relationships. On one hand I feel that all races are equal and the love between two people of conflicting race shouldn't be seen as a bad thing, but on the other hand I feel that it's important to preserve your heritage.
What are your thoughts?

I don't know anything about love, nor am I in a position to comment on heritage. But from a commonsense point of view, I can say unhesitatingly that interracial marriages are good. Actually, they are the best thing for humanity at large.
First, interbreeding results in stronger offspring. The results can be seen in animals as well as humans. Mixed breeds are stronger and more intelligent. They take on the strengths from two strains of genes.
Secondly, from a strictly social point of view, interracial marriages promote better relations among different races because they lead to better understanding of different cultures.
Thirdly, if you really come to think of it, humans are descended from one common strain. The differencess you see at present are more a result of living thousands of years in a particular geographical area. In today's world, when people are moving and settling in different parts of the world, it is only a matter of time before the differences will begin to fade. Intermarriage simply speeds up the process.

I think there are enough dedicTED to perserve almost every heritage and this is an individual decision, and what everyone else thinks doesn't really matter.
I have questioned this before too and I couldn't decide if God meant the entire world to be a huge melting pot and all co-mingle and be a white light, or did God intend to have separate interesting variety amoung all people..Orrrr maybe He intended things to be just as they are...a little of both.

I am totally for interracial relationships...as long as the people know what they are getting into. I am black and have dated white and hispanic men. It was no different for me, for the most part but its not easy for everyone. I am a free spirit so most things dont bother me anyways but I feel like love has no color so never let that be a factor. My current boyfriend is mixed with hispanic and black but most people thinkhe is hispanic. I get looks sometimes and asked what race he is but it doesnt bother me, I just say it with pride :)

Hi Flo
It's important that first of all you feel sure and comfortable about interracial relationship. Preserving heritage and enhancing heritage both are important. If both the partners are well aware about their heritage, it will not be difficult to preserve it. Further, knowing each other's heritage will create opportunity to give a new boost to individual heritage. I bet, different races all emanated from a single source. So interracial relationships or better to say any kind of relationships are in no way bad provided concerned partners take rational and judicious decision based on their personal likings and preferances. However, I'm not an expert to pass a comment on this sensible topic. I have just presented my personal thought just like a commoner.

Why is it a bad thing? I think it is better. The genetic variations it provides helps the couple to make very healthy and strong babies. They get the best of both worlds. But it can get crazy. Like this one couple who had twins, one turned out to be white and the other black!!!

If two people love each other, does not matter what race they are. we are, after all the same... we are humans... we just look differently and we have our own unique traits and colors. that does not mean that its not a good thing when both different people get married or get along...

Well being in an interracial marital relationship myself for the past 17 years, i feel that yes of course you would want to hold onto your heritage however on the other hand times are changing and if you love someone there should be no boundaries. Also our kids will benefit from this too, by knowing that they have a choice to be with who ever they wish. At the end of the day it is really up to the individual, and we should all respect each others choices. However we can take comfort in the fact that we can now be with whom so ever we choose.
