Do you think that interracial marriage is acceptable?

Question

Personally I see nothing wrong with it, but knowing there are some people in our society that think it's wrong that people of different races are married like blacks with whites as an example.

Just curious to see what you all think about this.

Hey goldwing, I'm a Republican and I see nothing wrong with interracial marriage.

Answer 1

I am a white American Female and my husband, a Filipino, is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I could not imagine life without him. Interracial marriage is perfectly acceptable as long as the people love each other and are ready to forge a new life together whatever the obstacles. Our biggest obstacle was some cultural stuff because we grew up so very differently, but with time love and tenderness we worked through it and are falling more in love everyday!

Answer 2

IN GENERAL, we are happier when we choose mates with a lot of similarity in upbringing. Growing up Black in America is still significantly different than growing up White. So, GENERALLY SPEAKING, relationships work best when both are from the same race.

But that is a GENERALIZATION! To try to apply it to all people would be racisit!

And, obviously, there is a heck of a lot more to upbringing than race. Religion, economics, family size, to name a few things. And there is how the individuals have grown from their upbringing. Age difference is also a significant factor.

So race is just ONE FACTOR in choosing who to marry. I've known people who have claimed "culture difference" as to their reason against interracial relationships, but have no problem with some white guy marrying a girl from Germany who hardly speaks English.

I've dated very little out of my race, because most of the guys (of a different race) that I was interested, weren't interested in me. And most who were interested in me, I found myself not attracted to.

Would I date, or marry outside of my race? I did. I was married to a Korean for two years. It was a disaster. But race wasn't the issue. It was the language barrier & culture differences that only served to magnify every other problem.

Answer 3

Sure, as long as it is for the right reasons. It does have to be considered that people are raised indifferent cultures, where mindsets, families, and traditions come into play. This is not something you want to do just out of curosity. Just like any other marriage-it should be a serious firm commitment. All marriages have challanges, bi-racial include a few more, tons of it in my family! Live and let live is my motto!

Answer 4

I think it's your life to do as you wish. Just as long as no one else gets hurt along the way. If we voted against interracial marriages or unions (in some cases), most of us wouldn't exist. The world's race is not as pure as some people think. It's a shame the world is full of those who judge people by the way they look and not by how they truly are.

Answer 5

Um,,,what are you trying to say? That if a black man marry a white woman, that there child will come out dysfunctional? Are you saying that because of the black man? Well, I disagree even if I am against a black man marrying a white woman. But then again, I feel a bm should only marry a ww if he feels true geniune love for her. For any other reason than NO....And "minorities" are the most dominant now and days so, whats the difference if a bm marry a hispanic woman and not a white woman? Are you saying that white people are more superior to any other race? Because if your are, you are a dumb *** idiot!

Answer 6

Honestly, mentally, of course that is acceptable. Physically, perhaps.

The whole idea of "marriage" was mental designation and bonding of one with another forever untill death do they part.

Infact, marriage is just some bull **** humans made so that people will stay loyal to their mates.

Look at animals, they aren't married. Hit it and go...and animals don't hit it on other animals and go, and if it does, it rarely occurs.

Humans are technically one specie, yet different races have different proportions and sizes, mental capacity, appearances and skin tone, etc.

They were all separated at the start, religions were diverse, beliefs were different, yet, interracial intercourse doesn't have its limits so therefore, yes it would be acceptable according to the 'marriage' of today's ideal.

Answer 7

Why would not be?
Some people may turn it hard on those who choose partners who are different from them in any sense. In our cult of beauty and stereotiped models, people feel safer when they show group power in minding other people's businesses.
Biased people tend not to accept anything that points out their fear of being different, even and mostly when they feel unhappy because of their choices. If you are happy, you don't need to tell others what to do.

Answer 8

There will always be element of racism in interracial marriages, there will be people who are jeleous and dont want their own marrying someone who aint their relgion, colour, culture, etc,. i personally belive people should sitck to their own culture and people, i am not being racist or ignorant, but most of the time when people intermarry its usually because they cant get their own kind of people and resort to desperation and go to other cultures to find a partner, usually its for lust then anyting, the tempation of being with someone different, if you are with you own kind its more easy to get on, have things in common, understand eachother easily, relgion wise, culture wise, more chance of a relation and marriage succeeding, so when there is a interracial marriage there will be people who go against it and wont accept it because they belive they aint doing it for the right reasons but for the reasons i mentioned above, not in every single case but most likely those reasons, and people will look at them differently and think of them as desperados and people who cant get their own, and they just wanna do it for show and be something different. also the roots and idenity stops, speacially for the woman, her name, culture, roots , etc, stop there and then because she has to adopt the Husband's name and anfd if they have children they adopt the Father's name so in a way this loses your heritage and origins, unless you dnt give a toss about ur history and dont care to mix with other collours and cultures but other then that people cant seem to accept not because of being racist but wanting to keep their roots and their heritage and having a single indenity.

Answer 9
