what do you think of mixed relationships

Why does it matter what race they belong to? Why should it cause suffering to have parents of different races? I'm not being a smart alec when I say this, but you are claiming to not be prejudiced and then you are making statements that reveal prejudice.

Love does not see race, color, or creed. We all are human no matter what. We all bleed the same color, we all cry when sad; smile when happy; flinch when pain is inflicted on us. The only reason kids from a mixed marriage suffer hardships in life is because the parents of the ones who caused the hardship were not willing to teach their child tolerance and respect of others who may be different from them. In this day and age cultures, races are bound to intermingle with each other and different people from these cultures/races will eventually intermix as well. I see nothing wrong bringing a child into the world from a mixed marriage, I find these people more tolerant and respectful towards others (well at least the ones I have met).

i totally agree with you. if you want to marry out of your race that is fine with me (though i would never do that because that is just me) but when you have kids that is hard not only on them but for their kids and their kids kids. because it could come down to where a child looks one race and getss married to what race they look like and then have a child that looks the other race, hos do you explain that to the father?

You ask a good question. Consideration for the kids should be a question that is answered by the couple. I wouldn't look for a mixed relationship, but I am not totally against it. Then again, I don't plan on having any more kids. I really don't have much to go on where the kids from mixed marriages are concerned. I don't have any direct experiences to base an opinion on.

Some people are just more comfortable with others who have a similar background to theirs. Some people are just more open to dating outside of their race. Some of us would like to preserve our cultural identity for future generations. Honestly I would think it would be a horrible world if there were no more people that were just Italian, Ukrainian, British, Japanese, etc.
