Who believes in Biracial relationships?

Question

Just wondering how ppl feel on this. I have a lot of friends, black, white, yellow whatever. And their parents dont agree with them dating opposite races.
They're not racist, just dont agree with them having relations together....
What's your take?

Well I dont believe that they are racists, if they were then we wouldnt be able to hang out together or go places together. So thats just not true.
I do believe however that some cultures just want to be able to stay around and kicking, so some families insist on in culture marriages. I cant blame them for that. How many people do we know that are full blown Irish, English and so on with nothing else added????
Not too many

Answer 1

I believe that any 2 people, regardless of race, gender, disability, etc...who are happy and in love should be allowed to grow a healthy stable relationship. I adore people who are in love.

Answer 2

My husband and I are a biracial couple. I am black, he is white. We have been together now for 13 years and have a wonderful and beautiful family of 3 daughters and 1 son.

Both of us were of a mature enough age when we got married to not only be in a position to have a sustainable relationship, regardless of the race issue, but also to be past the point where the misquided points of view of narrow-minded individuals was of any concern to either of us. We are fortunate enough to be surrounded by friends and family that are less concerned with the external qualities of an individual and more open to the idea of real true and honest values. They support the people that we are and do not concern themselves with ignorance.

We are good people and we truly love one another. Our children share those ideas and know that they are most loved and valued, too. They are incredibly happy and accepted in just about every situation they find themselves.

As for the parents of your friends "not" being racists. Their attitudes are the exact definition of racisim.

Answer 3

Alot of time it has to do with keeping the culture sacred. I can identify with the parents. I prefer my children to "bare children" within thier own race for cultural reason. However if they choose to love another outside of that race, this is fine. Just be ready to handle that everyone may not accept what your family has accepted and there may be hard times to deal with. Unless you've actually lived the life that exist with that culture, the understanding may not be there. Which is why alot of parents say, stay within your own. I wouldn't know the first thing about preparing a Vitnamese dish, just as much as if my husband/wife would be able to comb my African American daughters hair.

Answer 4

I think that in most cases (not counting the people who are just flat out racists) that its a generation thing. Our parents grew up in a time when bi racial relationships were looked down at and not encouraged. Our grandparents generation had it harder. With each generation, (I hope) we become more tolerable and accepting of things that werent accepted years ago. Maybe it wont be such a big issue for our childrens generation.

Also, most people say that it is difficult to mix cultures. I'll admitt that if I dated an African American man with a daughter I wouldnt know how to style her hair but I sure would learn how to. I know that if my daughter dated a man of a different race, I would be concerned about the tribulations they would face but I would support her and the man she loves. Its hard for me to understand why so many people make a bigger deal of it than it really is, like you said not many people are full Irish (even the irish are a mixture of english, norwegians, and in some cases portugese)..english..etc. Like I said before, with each generation our eyes are opened more and more to things that were not universially accepted the generation before.

A person should not defined by the color of their skin, but by the color of their soul!!

Answer 5

yeah i do. i comprehend many helpful biracial relationships, and that i've got been in some myself. the reality of them being biracial had surely no longer something to do with how the relationships ended.

Answer 6

I think any relationship where both people are happy and no one is being abused or taken advantage of is a good one. You can't control who you fall in love with. Love has no boundaries.

Ever wonder why biracial babies are the cutest kids you'll ever see? It's just God's way of showing the world that love is to be shared across all boundaries . . not only within your own race.

Do what makes you happy!!

Answer 7

I try not to judge anyone and their personal preferences. However, I don't think it's a very good idea. Mostly because it's so hard to make things work with a person who is from your own culture so how much harder is it going to be trying to relate with someone from a totally different culture than you. Not to mention it makes it harder for the children as far as trying to fit in and find their place in life. Seems like it would make your life and your children's lives more difficult, and life is hard enough as it is.

Answer 8

Love is hard enough to find without limiting it to those who look like you or have the same economic advantages or whatever. As far as "relations" go. I've seen more beautiful children of mixed race than I have of more traditional relationships. I don't believe in "relations" just for something different to do but if it's love then, Yahoo!

Answer 9

I think that as long a 2 people love each other, are in a healthy relationship, and bring out the best in each other. I dont care what color their skin is, what nationality they are, or anything else.

Answer 10

It isn't a belief. All types of cultures marry wheither they are black, white, Asian etc. Nothing wrong with it. I think it is great to find someone you love, marry and be happy. Doesn't matter what race. God put us all on earth together. We are all equal.
