I am actually encouraging my children to try to get into interracial dating. This is so easy to do now because of this internet thing. During my time, it was not a very good thing to entertain because, communication was mostly through letters only. Telephones then were not even as plentiful as now, they were quite scarce.

My father was a dark, olive-green complexioned Italian-American. Mother was a light-skinned Turk. This is what they call interracial back in the early and mid 20th century. My parents went thru h@ll and when 3 kids were born (all with mum's light skin), people didnt know how to react. I heard all the racial slurs applied to my father, including the "N" word, so did they. However, it only made their bond tighter and each overcame the other's cultural differences as well because they loved each other enough to do so. My late husband was from Pakistan. I went there to live to learn his life because he spent enough time in the US to know mine here. If you marry someone of another race or country, you have to start compromising and adapting to new ideas and make them your own on both sides. Just like my parents did and I did until my husband was killed in an car crash. As for worrying about what the rest of the world thinks - they'll get over it. Use your energy to keep yourselves focused on building a positive relationship.

I am a filipino lady. Born and raised in the US. I have always been involved in interracial relationships. I haven't dated any filipino or asian men because there weren't too many of them around where I used to live and the ones that were there, I wasn't attracted to them. Now I'm happily married to a french man (caucasian). We suit each other wll. Most of the time we see each other as a person and not some race. I am not going to tell other people to be involved in an interracial relationship because everyone has their own tastes. You can't help who you are attracted too and have chemistry with.
