Is it true that interracial relationships are more widely excepted in Europe ?

Question

I have heard rumors that it is more common and excepted for African-Americans males to marry and date Caucasians in Europeans countries like France and Italy, than the U.S. The question sounds foolish to me, but I am wondering if anyone has any serious answers.

Answer 1

Well, there aren't very many African-Americans here in Europe, remember African-Americans are American.
That out of the way, yes, interracial relationships are more widely acceptable in Europe and it is more common for Black males to marry or date Caucasian females and for Caucasian males to marry or date Black females than it is back home.

Answer 2

I am from Europe and I agree: interracial relationships are more widely accepted than in the USA. Sure enough there can be complications due to the fact that two cultures get together, but that's up to the two to face and work out. Parents can be worried for this reason, but many people - including parents - believe that love can overcome many differences. Different shades of skin is just one difference.

Answer 3

Yes it is true but not just in Europe but it is also accepted and more common in Canada as well.

Answer 4

Yes, because America still frowns upon this. We have come along way though, but many people still don't like it, including africans. They say "your marrying that white *****" What's the matter with you *** ?? she's too skinny, etc...

Answer 5

yes, I have heard this, although I really don't know myself,
but I know the famous black singer Josephine Baker went
to Europe (France, I think) because she was more accepted
there (this was in the 40s) so,yes, I think so.

Answer 6

Excepted - discounted and not tolerated
Accepted - approved of and tolerated

Which one is it?

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

no...
