Anyone who is against interracial dating

Ppl are against it out of pure absolute stupidity ;-)IMO I've actually gotten in to some pretty heated arguements with both blacks and white over this topic..which btw is somethign I feel very strongly about considering I'm the result of a mixed race relationship AND was forced to be put up for adoption BECUASE my father was black..so yea its something I've always been very passionate about... I'll never understand why these ppl are so stuck on believing they are "pure" race (I'm talking the white racists) becuase the reality is, chances are the ARENT pure white ;-).....BUT ppl need to natter and carry on about somehting regardless of how illogical andn flat out stupid it is....sick and sad but true...

Oh today it still goes on with people being against interracial dating as for me I am not against it at all due to the marriage I just told you about for 26 years I have been married to a man from the South Pacific who is a dark brown man but our youngest daughter was in a relationship for 6 years and his family were against interracial marriages, and that is why the relationship ended.

I dont have a problem with interracial dating at all.I do not look at people skin color.Love is love regardless of what color he or she is.

It is all in what you grow up with. No race is pure. There are some difficulties with having biracial children, but those will lessen as we see the races merging. If you were born blind, it would not matter anyway, and that is what my mother, the daughter of a redneck realized in her adult years. She could talk the fight pretty well, but if I had dated a different race there would have been hell to pay. We are moving slowly toward a more inclusive environment.

i am not againist interracial dating but i personally would probably not date outside my race. I have family members that are married and have children with children of other races and i am so happy for them because they are happy, i just do not think i could do it. I have dated some african american guys, but i didn't have much in common with them and i just didn't feel right. i am not racist and it has nothing to do with "keeping the race pure" i am just attracted to white guys.

All I want to say first is please do not refer to these people as "rednecks". It is NOT rednecks that feel that way, it is the ignorant racists that still think other races are "lower quality". Rednecks are not like that, they appreciate any one who works hard, plays harder and doesn't mind getting dirty and loves his family. I know it's a common misconception because "rednecks" are often thought of as being "southerners" as well but that is just another out dated stereotype. To answer your question, I can't answer why because I don't understand this way of thinking either. I doubt too many people are "pure" any race. Besides what really defines a race? A dark skinned Italian-American could be "darker" than a light skinned African-American yet no one raises a fuss about a mixed relationship between an Italian and a "white" person because of the general definition of what Caucasian means even though if you really think about it, it includes people who aren't always "white". I have a small amount of Native American blood, a second cousin is half black, two nieces are half Asian, two of my children's great grandparents came here from Italy. So I don't think there is even a way to define 100 percent white and even if there was not to many people actually are and those that have that narrow minded viewpoint are very, very wrong.

I don't know really because I am perfectly fine with it but there could many raesons why these people behave like that. One of the reasons could be that some people don't like change. I mean, until a few decades back about 90% of people were marrying there own race. Now due to globalisation, more and more people are inter-marrying and there will always be some who won't approve this radical change, especially the older generation. But for the most part, I think younger gengerations all over the world are ok with interracial dating. Another reason could be that people are often scared of things that they don't know much about, about things that are different. Hence, there are people who are scared of mingling with other races as they don't know much about them. Sometimes what happens is, for example, a certain white girl marries a black guy and the guy turns out to be a jerk and the marriage a disaster. And you know, bad news travels quicker than the good news and some of the white people knowing this incident are bound to start thinking that all blacks are like that. But such people often neglect the other side of the coin that the same girl could have married a white guy and could have still ended up in the same situation. Such people don't think about all the white-black marriages that are successful and all the white-white marriages that were unsuccessful, they only see the anomalies. But this was just a hypothetical example about white-black relationships but there are people like this in every race who would ramble on and on about why one should marry in their own race. In reality, most scientist believe that inter-racial childen are often genetically superior than the same race children because they inherit the qualities of both races, to some extent or the other. But keeping aside all the social and natural sciences, the one thing that should matter the most is love and when two people are in love with each other, that's the only thing that they should care about.

People who against interacial dating are close minded people and mostly cowards because they are afraid.

I don't know what any of that is about hun. I'm British Asian and was born and brought up in the UK. I've never personally experienced any prejudice due to my colour although I know some who have. I don't know why people have to be so narrow-minded as to have objections to mixed race relationships. My brother has just got engaged to a white English girl that he's been dating for 2 years and her family and my family are all cool with it. Anyone who has any objections to it can go take a running jump as they love each other and are not going to let something as trivial as skin colour get in the way of their love for each other. As long as he's happy and she's happy it should not be a problem for anyone else. The only issue she has with his colour is that she can't get it no matter how much time she spends in the sun LOL! Rednecks will always be rednecks - to be quite honest, I don't even know what a redneck is really, just know that it's something pretty derogatory! x

Many people are against interracial dating for different reasons. And then there are those who are ok with it as long as they don't marry or pro-create. Alot of it has to do with the way our society many moons ago. You know with slavery and segregation. And there are some rednecks (as u call them) who are clueless and think that they are 100% pure. The reason why some blacks are light or have a grade of hair similar to white people or white people have kinkystyle or excessively curly hair is because somewhere down the line, there was some race mixing going on. And don't forget about those who are white who don't have to tan, they just have a good natural complexion. Race mixing has been going on long before we were even a blink in our great-great-great-great-grandparents eyes. You never know what is in your genetic tree. Do you remember years ago there was a white married couple on 20/20 who had twins? One was black, one was white. They did DNA and yes, both twins were the husbands. Some people don't like to be reminded about the segregation or slavery days, but it's part of our history and during those times there was alot of sneaking going on between races. Just because it wasn't displayed in public, doesn't mean it wasn't happening. This country is made up of differnt races and race mixing and it will never stop. After all, have you driven past an elementary school lately? A lot of mixed kids walking around. I hope this was semi-helpful and hope that you will receive many responses to this wonderful discussion. I myself am a proud mother of bi-racial children and wouldn't have it any other way.

i've no idea why there are people who are against inter-cultural/racial relationship! if you truly love someone then language, culture, race, religion or any other matters, should not be an issue or barrier. i've seen and heard many people who date other people that's not the same race as them and they are happy together. But when in an inter-cultural or inter-racial relationship, the couple must know that they might face problems or that there are people who wouldn't approve of their relationship. they have to work together and stand by each other to try to overcome the problem. if they love each other, then they would not mind the obstacles that they have to go thru. but if only one of them is willing to preserve the relationship, then it could be difficult. i really admire those who are in that kind of relationship, and how their strength, courage and love for each other made their relationship possible.

I am not against interratial dating. For anyone deserves love and be love by whosoever even those that belongs to other races. Race differences is not a hindrance or a big problem in loving. It is not something that should be taken greatly. But how the coule will manage to survive their relationship.

I say good for you! Love is love. Love is blind. Whoever treats you right. I love the mix. I date outside my race exclusively & my kids are mixed:)

I don't know what the deal is with this mindset either! My step-mother is against it for some reason, and her GRANDFATHER is white! Her whole family is mixed. And the people that say children from an interracial marriage will have a problem with identity and being accepted, are creating the problem. I'm mostly black, but I also have american indian and I've been picked on by my own race. Some would say that I was not "black enough" just because my hair wasn't as kinky, or I didn't talk a certain way, or listen to a certain type of music. So I don't think it's just the biracial kids having issues. But what I'm trying to say, for someone to say it's WRONG to date interracially is like saying "hey, that person you're about to date isn't good enough for you because they are not of your race!" It's stupid! Think about it, you don't see dogs going around snubbing their noses at other dog breeds do you?? There are a LOT of mutts out there. If dogs can do it, then why can't we just get over ourselves and do it too??

I have no idea what makes people say things like that. I can tell you that children are born "colorblind" and are not even really aware of different skin colors until they are older. It is a shame that some people teach their children to judge others by the color of their skin, and it is a shame that those in an interracial relationship have to suffer from small minded comments. Maybe someday we will learn to appreciate our differences.

I can't figure out that way of thinking, I stopper trying to make sense of it a while back. I don't know anyone who is openly against it. I have a few family members that make the odd comment about it every so often, but I can't take them serious because they are hypocrites.

People that have that mindset are generally just ignorant, scared, or don't understand that love has no boundaries. There's nothing wrong with interracial dating, in fact, it can be very rewarding for often times you get to learn about another culture other than your own.

I'm not against interracial dating, and I stay away from those that think otherwise. My brothers girlfriend is an Asiancanadian, my sisters ex was a caucasian, I've had caucasian exes myself, so I don't see the big deal anywhere. Its a lot interesting to date someone from another race.

I dont know about their reasons why there are interracial dating discrimination but long ago, spaniards thought filipinos are indios and that they were on the lowest level of the society, that i think is one of the reason why people today discriminate others who arent on their own race. And thats not fair i think. Everybody is unique, and that no one is better than the other one whatever his/her race is. That should be put on the garbage can, that thought.

I'm not against interracial dating at all. And im wishing that someday i could date a very Japanese girl and we will stroll around the cities of Japan. Or any South American girls, they are beautiful.
