I was wondering what you people thought about Interracial relationships. I mean both dating or marriage. Do you think is a good thing to do? Do you think it's bad, or are you unsure?
I personally don't have a problem with Interracial relationships. I've dated women from different ethnic backgrounds 3 or 4 times. I think it's just as right as dating in you own background.
So let me know what you think. All feedback is very appreciated.

Its 2007...race shouldnt even be a factor in this world anymore.Seeing as more then half the population of children these days have just about every race in thier blood lol.I dont think race is a factor at all.Thats only for ignorant people.Like my daughter.Shes mexican,german,polish,native american and italian.This world would be so much better if people would just let the whole race issue go.Besides we all breathe the same air and bleed the same color.

I agree with desi also, I think Interracial marriages aren't really that bad of a thing. I mean heck - my brother's probably gonna get married to his Korean girlfriend. It's all about personalities and interests, I don't think that it matters what color anybody is.

I feel that there's nothing wrong with dating or marrying someone from a different race, religion, culture or nationality. The most important is that both parties are comfortable with the idea. It doesn't matter what other people think. Afterall, it's one's own life so one has the right to decide on who to date and marry. Anyway, such mixed relationships are becoming more common these days.
Are you currently in an interactial relationship? If so, I'd like to wish you all the best! :)

I think I have no objections to people dating or marrying of other races. Afterall, we are all humans inhibiting this earth. I do not believe that one race is more superior or privilege than the others. I think it will be more colourful as we are able to learn to accept the different cultural background....

I think every race should just inter-marry with each other until race is no longer distinguishable. Then you couldn't discriminate against someone because of race, because they are the exact same as you.
My husband is half black, half filipino. He had a hard time growing up, because he wasn't filipino enough for the filipino kids, and he wasn't black enough for the black kids. In these days, I think that's the only real issue with interracial relationships. Your kids might have a hard time fitting in, or finding their place growing up. But, the relationship itself, I think it's a beautiful thing.

I can't say I disagree with interracial relationships. My only real worries are that the kids will have a hard time and not be accepted by other kids since they're only half of one thing or the other. I worry a little about what happens when interracial relationships have become so much the norm that individual races disappear. That's already happening with Native Americans in north and south America.

Race does not matter to me, if you are in love with that person skin color should not stand in the way. God does not say hey you are white therefor i can not love you , he loves us all as should we love everyone else no matter what race.

I see nothing wrong with interracial relationships, as long as the couple loves each other. I am a typical American mix of Irish, German, French, and Italian. My husband is Hispanic and is from Nicaragua. We get along great. I think the biggest hurdle is the cultural differences, and there are cultural differences that you have to work on and overcome. Right now I am totally submerged into his culture, living in Nicaragua.

I think people who have a problem with it were taught by older generations that it was wrong. But as for me, people are people. Color isn't a factor. I dated outside of my race before I found the man I married, but had he been of a different race I would have married him anyway.
We have taught our children that color isn't important so they have no problem with dating people of other races.
I see nothing wrong with it.

personally i have not dated outside my race but that isnt cause i think it is wrong it is just it didnt happen. i found hubby and stuck wth him lol. now my sister has an interracial marriage and so does my sister in law. it doesnt bother me they are happy have kids and there husbands are my brother in laws and i have no isues with it. some on my family have disowned my siser due to it and they dont talk about her etc i think they are morons personally for acting like this but that is just me. if you trace back your family tree i can almost promiss some where in there you are mixed with something lol. people are people good and bad in all races. to me there is no white, black, hispanic, asian, german, etc we all people living together to try and make our way in this messed up world and put our mark no matter how great or small it maybe on the foundation of life. that is one thing i love about mylot cause most of the time you dont know what race a person is you just see tehre words and there most of the time there love and it shows just how much we are all alike.

Caribe's right, the only difference that might pose a problem is a cultural difference. Blended people are beautiful, too much of one ethnicity can't be a good thing. I kind of equate it to inbreeding. But my mom's African, Italian, and Irish, and my dad is Danish, Korean and African. My son's father is Lebanese, so clearly, I think interracial relationships are great. And as a mixed child, I never had any huge problems with fitting in because of my heritage and skin color. So many kids are mixed now, it's starting to become a non-issue.
