As long as both parties remain true to who they really are and respect their own culture, then interracial relationships are wonderful. However, I find it sad when some people get so caught up in their partner's culture, that they forget their own. For example: think of all the middle-class white girls raised in suburbia who start dating black guys and then act as if they were born and raised in the ghetto. In my opinion, that's sad. ***This is only an example - I am not so narrow minded to say that ALL black/white relationships are like this***
Personally I think children from interracial relationships (any interracial relationships) are among the most beautiful in the world. and are usually much more tolerant of people's differences. When I was a teenager I used to tell people that when I had a child it was going to be "caramel colored" because that's what I think is beautiful. I now have two caramel colored children who are the light of my life. :)

Very acceptable, but there can be social stresses associated with mixed relationships. If the couple doesn't mind and can deal with some the stresses, then they are on their way to a (hopefully) happy and rewarding life.
I also believe (since my wife is of another culture) that when you marry a person from another race or culture, you (in a way) marry the culture as well. Or at least a certain aspect of it. I would see some dificulty if one person loved a person of another race or culture, but did not like the culture itself.
Just an opinon among many.

I'm OK with interracial relationships. There is nothing wrong with them, because all of us still belong to the human race; and that's the only important thing. Those involving a black person with a white person are no exception.

There are a lot of things to consider when you get involved with someone outside of your own race or culture -- other than whether you and your partner are in love.
All races and cultures have their own ways of doing things and their own sets of prejudice. You need to consider whether your relationship is strong enough to withstand all of the stereotypes and preconceptions of both races. You also need to consider how you would raise children born into such a union.
I have a daughter of mixed race and she is very well rounded in both cultures. She had never looked at her racial mix as a problem, but rather as an asset.
But keep in mind, not all people are accepting -- and there are bound to be struggles that you will encounter as a couple.
Good luck.

Those relationships are no different than any other relationships. If 2 people love and respect one another then there should be no problems . If they encounter attitudes from their families or friends or society in general then that is not the couple's problem. I strongly believe in order for society to get over inter racial relationships then there has to be a lot more of them out in the open!

Some people try to claim that the children of these mixed race couples will grow up being confused about who to identify with. I think that's a load of crap. I'm biracial, and I have never had any of those kinds of problems. I've faced racial prejudice on both sides. It's part of human nature. But all in all, it's no big deal. Just another flavor of ice cream.

I quite enjoy my relationship with my black boyfriend. But being white it was really hard starting out, b/c my family was against it. Though they tried to say it was the age difference that bothered them, he's also nine years older than me. I would say that the color difference doesn't really affect our relationship. The only problem I have is that I have encountered several black women who don't think we should be together. I still don't understand that, I don't care if they date white men. Love is Love.

What about Blacks/Latinos, Asians/Latinos, or Blacks/Asians? Why does a interracial relationship always has to involve a white person and a person of color?

I myself am white, my husband is arabic, brown, but not technically black.. but considered another race nontheless.. I feel that since the worlds population of women are 4 to 1 of man. that our odds are slim of finding mr right in the first place, considering there are gays (no offence) but that lowers the odds more against us girls.. either Mr. wonderful is already married, or he doesnt want girls.. So we have to find who we can, if he's of another race, fine.. I dont care as long as he's wonderful, hard working, loving, caring, and all the good stuff inbetween ^_^

It shouldn't even be an issue! Everyone should date outside there race at least once to realize race isn't so much an issue as it's made out to be!
