Interacial relationships are they aceptable in todays society?

Question

I,m a black man who has always prefered white women, latina women, i am currently seeing one but do you think many people date outside there own race in fear of what others think? Personally i don,t give a f**k what anyone thinks about who i date! Would you ever date outside your race?

Answer 1

Who gives a toss what others think? You've got one life, so live it as you want as long as you don't hurt other people. I think the majority of people accept that everyone has the right to date whomever they want. Fewer will want to date outside their race themselves, but even that is changing.

One thing to consider if you see people looking at you and your girlfriend when you're in public. Yes it's rude if someone stares pointedly at you in public, but sometimes if someone looks at you for a second, it isn't necessarily racism. Sometimes it's just curiosity or their reaction to the relative novelty of it.

My partner and I have experienced that on more then one occasion from someone who I thought might be a bigot but who turned out to be very tolerant and accepting.

All depends...on the feelings , of both parties famillies, also depends in what nation and area they are living...and also where they plan too move...But people start wising up the races start coming closer through easiness of travelling, the mail mooves faster, education is a lot easier to all...and the internet & the international TV makes the different culters more known. In 10 generations white people will not exist all will be moolatos...means a total mix of white black and yellow. My self I am a white older man...in my life time I dated many women out of my race...and I ended up marying an American Indian dark colour young lady...In 2 days we will celebrate our 40th maried aniversity- my familly objected but my answer to all was you don't have to sleep or live with her...that's my life stay out of it...and you do n't have to visit us or invite us...we can do with out you!!!!. Do what your heart and brain tells you to do. Buy the way very few know that JESUS was black.

Answer 3

I'm a white man. I've flirted with a few black women, but never actually dated one, not that I would necessarily be adverse to the idea. I did ask one out a few years ago, and she turned me down. That's not my fault.

If I was to marry a black woman, I don't think I would lose any friends over it, but that was not the case with my parent's generation. I think society, as a whole, is more accepting of inter racial dating and marriage than it used to be.

How would I react, if I had a 16 year old daughter, and she brought home a black boyfriend? If we're talking about some black guy who wants to go to college, and become an architect, no problem. If we're talking about some hood rat who doesn't know how to pull his pants up, I am going to have a problem with that, but the color of his skin has nothing to do with it.

Answer 4

Yes, I would. I think that it depends on where you live as to whether or not interacial relationships are "acceptable." Certainly in certain parts of the U.S. you would be looked down on more than in other parts for dating someone outside your race. But whether or not it is considered acceptable, I think that it is tolerated by the majority of people. There may be talk behind your back or looks, but in today's society it's politically incorrect to ridicule anyone for anything. So weather or not people agree with your choice, I think that most people won't show any distaste for it.

Answer 5

the time-honored reason may be able to be that every person is shifting faraway from the communities wherein they lived greater usually. A technology or so in the past, it exchange into unusual for a newborn to go an incredible distance away while they married or have been given a job, or for people to visit a distinctive state while they retired. because of this, it exchange into much less stressful to maintain a relationship between grandparents and grandchildren. Now, many people ought to get on a airplane in the event that they elect to deliver their toddlers to confirm their grandparents. The greater beneficial distance has helped decrease the bond.

Answer 6

Racism is an ugly topic. It didn't affect my wife and I. We've been together over 15 years. I'm white, she's Latina. But, you should care what people in both of your families think. You may have someone who won't see beyond race in your family. That would likely cause tensions that need to be addressed in a rational manner. Good luck and stay open-minded.

Answer 7

I would absolutely date outside of my "race". In fact, I often do. I don't believe that there are multiple races, we are the human race. We are all equal and there is absolutely no reason that interacial relationships should not be acceptable.

Answer 8

it depends on where you live as to whether it is acceptable. i live in the south and for the most part it is completely looked down upon. why? i don't know. the perception by most (most people that are against interracial relationships) is that black peoople are beneath all other races and when a person of another race (generally white) dates a black person, they are trash. it's sad that people refuse to look beyond color and realize that there are trashy white people, trashy black people and trashy every race of people. but there are also very well educated and "normal" black people that are just like the white people that look down on them. i'm over it. just ready for the racism to stop. i won't, but i wish it would.

Answer 9

I don't worry about what others think about who I date. I pretty much ignore and honestly, the worst reaction I've gotten was total strangers hiding behind the annonymity of the Internet. Of course, I say that with the feeling of impending doom as Thanksgiving approaches and my dad will be meeting my boyfriend for the first time - my dad is from the dark ages and 'does not believe in interracial relationships'...he's been given the option to attend or not...it's up to him.

Answer 10

im half black and asian female and I'm currently dating a white man. You may get the looks from people while you are walking down the street. Those people have never seen a interracial relationship or they are just plain weird. Go with what your heart tells you. Love doesn't matter and love don't care what the color of you skin is.
