Why are some people against interracial relationships?

Question

Why are some people scared to date out of their race. You might find that it might be better for you?

Answer 1

Some people are horribly misguided into thinking that interracial relatioships are not fit. I myself am married outside of my race, and we have faced some racism, even from a member of my extended family. What people like that fail to see is that we are happier than a lot of same-race couples. We were made for eachother, and as long as we remember that, no one can discourage us.

Answer 2

Becase a lot of people have been raised that way, b/c their parents are old school. Also, in all honesty, in some towns it's literally not safe. I have several friends that interracially date & I can't tell u how many times people have walked up to them & literally harrassed them for it. Unfortunatly, until the ridiculous seperatist ideas die out, people will continue to feel this way.

Answer 3

I feel great about it! I really don't mind interracial dating. I think its beautiful when people can express their feelings and not bow to the status que placed on us by society. People forget the culture of america and so it seems, there isn't what they would describe a "problem" with this situation, They choose not to address it, well the "problem" is people being color blind, to the specifics of the word, BLIND TO THE COLORS AROUND YOU. They are unwilling to accept them and hence they are not there or you are blind to them. I don't believe in color blindness, its ignorance, it needs to change, be aware of the wonderous variety around you and accept it. I Think its extremly interesting to learn about other people's ways of life. I think its really sad that people of any race can simply 'dis' others becuase they are of any color.

Answer 4

i think its because they see with their eyes and not their heart. it dosent matter what color someone is as long as thir good at heart and dont care what color you are.
