I am not for it, I think for the most part neither is society. I am not a racist either, call me closed minded and I'll take it but I see how society treats mixed relationships and for the most part they don't treat them well.

I think to not accept inter-racial dating is racist... to say that you disapprove of inter-racial dating because of the color of another persons skin is judgemental and has no logical reasoning. I also think it is hypocritical, there is no such thing as a 'pure' person, pure being someone of only one race or ethnicity.
We all bleed the same color, and the only real race that exists for people is the human race. White, black, Asian... it doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things.

If you don't like to accept it you are not a racist but you are a bit ignorant because whats so strange about two people loving each other only because they are different colors or races...just let the world be. I personally don't think anything negative about the situation. If I'm ahppy with a black individual instead of a white one who cares, whats it to the world!!!

i have been in an interracial relationship for 6 1/2 years and we have 3 beautiful children.
there is a difference in not approving and not being physically attracted to another race. i don't think it necessarily makes you a racist, but it makes you closed minded.
every individual person has the right to their opinions. my philosophy is to judge people on an individual basis. you cant judge an entire race based on one or 2 peoples actions.

Yes, i think if you don't approve you are definitely a racist because you are making decisions about what people should do or not based solely on their skin color.
ie if the person were white doing the exact same thing, dating the exact same person you would approve.
when you think people should have different rights or priviledges or can do different things solely based ontheir race, then i think i would see that as racist.

I think it makes you extremely close minded. Is it racist? I don't know.
I'm in an inter-racial relationship and I've never been happier in my life.

I don't know that it's racist, but I can see the arguement. My theory is that if you are with someone you like... good luck and I hope it works out, I don't care what the races of the individuals are.

I am all for it. Yes. I think people who are against it ARE racist, because there is only one true race, the human one.

its cool. i mean the world is becoming smaller as countries globalized, and people travel places to places. i dont think you are a racist if you disapprove, its your beliefs. you dont hate them, you just prefer to stay within your own race
