Inter-racial romance?

Question

Yey or ney? I personally think that you love who you love and if you're happy, then that's all there is to it. I'm asking this for a friend that needs educating in this.

Does it matter in the slightest about the colour of skin, creed, religion etc....? Open question = open answers. Give it your all and go to town.

If this question annoys anyone, please note: it is being asked by someone who is the product of a love between two people of different races and who took a lot of flack for it! I'm no racist...

Answer 1

love has no judgements

love does not take into account colour, race, religion etc

love is beyond all our control, that's why it's so special

Answer 2

It doesn't matter. If you love someone, you love them. We are all of the human race. A black person and a white person can have children, can't they? So why shouldn't they if they want to? The only thing that could be a problem is culture and family members who are scared of interracial couples. But if two people of different colors love each other, why not? I think religion could be a huge problem if they don't work it out ahead of time. What religion will the children be raised in? Will that be a problem? That is one thing that is really important to sort out. As for me, I would not marry someone who was not a Christian as I am, but I would marry someone who was a different color. But hey, if the couple can work it out, then more power to them! They just need to address the issues and make sure there won't be any problems in the future if they want to get serious.

Answer 3

It's a closed mind that thinks interacial relationships are wrong. Diversity is what the history of mankind is all about.

Though do think a lot of people have a specific 'type' that they go for and may naturally tend towards people of a specific race or colour, I've known many an occasion where they have found love outside of their field of natural tendency.

My wife, for instance, would never have thought she'd find love with a short oriental man. It goes to show, love knows no colour.

Answer 4

I think everything should be considered when considering a romantic relationship that could become a marriage or committed relationship but don't get me wrong. Color, Race should not be a factor that prevents a relationship but the way I mean consider it is that people of different races have different outlooks on many things such as politics, race relations, even about other peoples. We are who we are due to our families and the lives we live. The way that it should be considered is to recognize how it makes us who we are and how it also makes us different. Being different isn't bad but in any relationship you learn to live with another person. Naturally every aspect of that persons life has to be considered but not in a biased way but rather in order to understand our partners lives and beliefs better and to know if we are truly compatable or not.

Answer 5

ok, i am totally for interracial romance. I'm only 19 yrs old but my whole life, i've never dated a white man, a mexican, or anything except a black man. And yes, it is true, you can't help who you love, your race really should have NOTHING to do with your relationship as long as you're in love. and as i've heard before, "we're all the same color when we turn out the light" so no, it DOESN'T matter about ur skin tone, ur creed, ur religion or any other racial matter. love is love, and thats how it should be!

Answer 6

Not the least bit. Whatever differences that exist between people who eventually fall in love with one another should become a blurred field of vision. When people do express their love for one another such things should not matter at all, because what trully speaks is the heart and when the heart is involved it knows no differences or boundaries.

Answer 7

a person can not go out one day and say, "I'm gonna fall in love with this person or that person today" who you fall in love with, or to date is up to fate itself. We have no control in that matter. that is how the world got started with all the different color skinned people. We all got along and inter-mixed races and faiths. Why can't it be like that again where everyone gets along? It's not a bad thing to me, but if your asking about it, do you have doubts in the subject?

Answer 8

I'm English, I married a Moroccan, muslim, we had a great marriage.
I didn't even notice his skin colour altho various racist idiots did, we had a lot of abuse to deal with but it made us stronger.
He is a muslim I'm no religion particularly, it was never a problem, he had his beliefs I had mine, no trying to convert or any of that crap, live and let live.

The only problem with inter-racial relationships is from the small minded, ignorant racists who quite frankly aren't worth mentioning because theres no intelligence there to reason with just the image they have of being the great white hope of the world

Answer 9

I think that people shoudl do what they think is right and what is best for them and their children. Interracial relationships are fine for other people but I would never have one myself.

The reasons being that I think clash of cultures is the main reason a lot of people split up. I wouldn't want to convert to any religion. I am an atheist so it would be impossible for me to start believing in any God or Gods and false of me because i would only be doing it for the convenience of joining the family. People of different ethnicities tend to have different cultural expectations of the roles of a man and a woman in a relationship or marriage. I would prefer not to have to conform to these so I wouldn't be interested in being with someone of a different ethnicity.

I do not intend to have children myself but I would not want mixed race children. It seems unfair to them. Born to belong to no particular part of culture. Never having the opportunity to experience the cultural identity of being black, white, Indian, Chinese etc. I think that's really sad for them and I would always want the best for any children i might have.

But the fact remains that many interracial relationships work and many mixed race children are happy, it just makes these things more difficult to achieve. It is a hard path to choose but sometimes things that are worth doing are not easy.

Answer 10

I am like u mixed race. My parents got a lot of stick when they were younger. My Grand father wouldn't even talk to my dad till i was born (6/7yrs). But now he is totally fine with it.
I think alot of it is that they do not want the daughters / family to be corrupted, diluted n the like. Which we know is utter rubbish!!
BTW my parents r stil 2gether and now live in a predominantly whiter area. 29ys and still going strong.
Peace n Infinite Luv x

Answer 11

Sorry everyone, but i don't believe in interacial romance, i believe god did not intend that to happen,the perfect world is..everyone can mingle together and have a good time, but when it comes to marriage and having children, i believe we should stay with are own color. To me it is just not right, because in the way future there won't be a true black American, or a true white American, or even a true hispanic anymore...there will be no more culture.
