Are there any mature adult minded people left in the world?

Question

I want to know from any mature minded person why we as Americans seem to disown love ones for dating and/or marrying someone who is not of the same race/color as we are. I thought love had no color and if that is true then why do we as a people look at other couples funny when we see them walking out in public. I am having a hard time understanding who made up this so-called rule that you can't date anyone outside of your race. MATURE PEOPLE ONLY please enlighten me on this topic so that I can pass this information on and help to educate those who seem to be bothered by mixed couples. Feel free to e-mail me or catch me on IM to elaborate more.

wat r da heck u tlkin bout

Answer 2

More and more it is becoming acceptable. But it didn't used to be. I don't agree with it (I am white). And I know people of the other races who are older or from their original country don't like it either. For one thing, when you see a mixed couple, it just doesn't look right. Don't tell me it doesn't strike you just a little on the odd side. And then the children, who have no choice, get to me mongrals. (And I know some who struggle with that; being half this and half that, always mistaken for something else.) And as they grow up and have children, and more people keep mixing, we could eventually end up with just kind of a yellow race and no one would know who they were. Maybe that's what some people would like. Personally, I wouldn't.
Some things we just know are innately wrong. I don't care who you are, I know somewhere deep down you've got to know it just was not meant to be that way. Just like gay sex. People can accept them, but in the end, the fact of the matter is, is that our plumbing wasn't designed for that. If it was, gays could reproduce.
Just because you call something right, doesn't make it so. Just because our society has become tollerant of certain things, doesn't make it right.
I don't have a popular veiw I'm sure. Call me old fashioned. But if I had a choice for myself , my choice would be to be pure, which I am, but no matter what race I was. Every race has it's own beautiful culture and heritage. Why mess with perfection? Everytime I've ever seen two people try to mesh cultures or belief systems, it usually is very difficult.
Enough said.

Sadly, what you're saying is true. The good thing is, it gets to be less of a problem as generations pass. A lot of the late-middle aged Americans in this day and age were raised on prejudices of their parents' generation. In addition, there are many young people that are somewhat racist- whether they are black, white, Asian, etc. That makes about 3/4 of our population prejudice in some way to another race. However, as more people are willing to resist those "boundries", new generations are raised seeing these mixed couples and don't see it as odd or strange.
An example: my mom was raised by two small town white parents with prejudices mirroring their times. My dad is a Vietnamese refugee. To my mom's parents this was hard to accept (only for a short while). Now, I think, if I or one of my sisters were to marry a black man, for example, it would be hesitantly accepted. But I have grown up unbias to race and never even think twice when I see a mixed couple... maybe I'm just rambling but I have a point... good question, it got me going.

Answer 4

I wish i had the answer you are looking for, I have no issue with mixed marriages. There are so many reasons, or maybe more appropriately, excuses that people make for having a problem with this issue. I am white (i know my avatar gives that away) but I have black sisters and a Hispanic cousin and a Chinese niece. We are all human and we bleed and feel pain just the same no matter the color of our skin. I say we try this.....when having conversations from now on; remove the words black or white or anything else to describe skin color when we are talking about another person and see where we go from there. I pray for the ignorant souls that feel that way, it is up to us as a society to teach our children that love is love and accept it when you find it and that color is not an indicator of a good and loving soul. Wonderful question and thanks for asking.

Answer 5

People now-a-days chose to judge other people it doesnt really matter about the race. Yes of course, people look at biracial relationships as a laugh just because people think that we cant find love in our own race. So its a really hard topic to understand. But the most important thing is that you shouldnt let anyone judge, critcize on who you are especially with the person you love. You love the person because on who they are, you see, and people dont see it. So really it matters on how you feel, but if you cant get over the fact that people look at you when you are with someone else besides your race then you might have some insecurity problem for yourself. I hope this helps and I hope this makes any sense whatsoever. Have a good day.

Answer 6

People do this out of ignorance and a fear of the unknown. You're correct, love doesn't know color or even gender. Love just loves. It's much easier to throw stones than to think. Don't waste your time on small petty people. Their lives are so shallow, it's sad. MOST people, in ALL cultures just want harmony and peace. It's greed and ignorance that try to destroy. I could give you some real snappy comebacks, but that just adds fuel to the fire. You can put the fire out with just a "look" and a shake of the head. Walk away. This will say, more than words ever could, "I don't have time for this or for you". Good Luck, My Friend.

Answer 7

its true we still have the same ideas in are heads as we did in the past. it is slowly getting better and there are a lot of great people that except that and that is why we are slowly making progress.

sometimes people think they are going a good thing and then years down the road someone enlightens them. I'm sorry people are that way i am white but my mother it Spanish and she gets alot of racial comments and actions aimed towards her and i cant stand it but you just have to forget and keep going on with your life

and from the sounds of it your love is a strong one and i am so happy for you good luck

Answer 8

There will always be ignorance in the world i'm very open minded and i respect everybody but most of the time i'm descriminated agaisn't just because i have tattoos, how stupid is that?! but what people have to learn is to accept others as they are. To change for others is to lie to yourself and being happy with who you are is the only reward that matters in life but unfortunetely most people are to busy teaching others to hate anything that is different to what they believe is normal, there are no rules humans will always want to change humanity to their ideals but we only need people strong enough to fight the ignorance.

Answer 9

Bigotry and narrow minded PEOPLE make up those rules, NOT God. We are different to add spice to life, not to keep us apart, we are ALL part of the HUMAN race. BRAVO, you said it far better than I could. (If only there were more out there teaching their children THIS instead of bigotry, the world would be paradise!)

Answer 10

when it comes down to it unfortunately predjudice beats love sometimes. most prejudice people have a lifetime of being taught prejudice. too bad they didnt have a lifetime of being taught love.

Answer 11

love is what society says it should be, and unfortunately, society does not want mixed couples.
