about 5 years ago, my employer (here in western europe) brought over a couple of american engineers from one of the branches of our company in the U.S. one of them with whom i now share my office just happened to be a black american. as he gradually became accustomed to living and working here in europe, he eventually met a very nice attractive, educated woman who was quite interested in him (they have been married now for two years and are very happy), but he seemed reluctant to pursue any kind of relationship with her. when i spoke to him in private about this matter at that time, he told me that he didn't want to deal with all the problems and trouble that an interracial relationship would cause. i was very surprised to hear this, but he explained that it would be a very problematic relationship in the states, and that he assumed it would be the same here. we often discuss the matter of race in the U.S., and i would like to know if it really is such a big issue there.
