I agree, you should be with who you want to regardless of skin color. I am in an interracial relationship, and some people don't care and some people act like it is a big deal. But to me we are both people, and our relationship is not about our skin color but about our love for each other.

Personally, I don't have a provlem with it, you can't help who you love, but at the same time I'd probably have to warn my child [not that I have any] that the world doesn't see it the same way and that they better really love that person, because they can be in for a tough life. I actually am Caucasian, but I have family in Japan [they are Japanese and we look NOTHING alike] and its hard sometimes because I'm not a part of their family based on my looks, and I know how hard it is for an Asian family to accept a mixed relationship, and I find it unfair, but my grandparents didn't mind, and so long as they were happy that's all that matters. A girl that sits next to me though is mixed [Her mom is white and her Dad black] and she HATES the idea of interracial relationships, she says they can't work because there are too many differences. She said, growing up was a noghtmare because her Mom had no idea how to care for her and her sister's hair, and her hair is sort of ruined because her Mom had tried to perm it. The other girl that sits next to me dated a white boy, and while she said she really liked him, she couldn't take the way people stared at her. I like to care more about the person's personality, and I think its fairly shallow that people don't want to give others a chance at happiness because they like something 'outside the norm.' interracial relationships' are in many ways looked at the same way as same-sex relationships, and I think it will be long after our generation before any significant change is made.

It is sorry to see that in America race is still a big issue. I lived in Latin America for twelve years, and over there it doesn't really matter what color you are. Of course, they will make fun of you if you are too light or too dark, but they don't HATE you because of it. I have tried to break that mold and show others that color really doesn't matter. I have dated so far Guatemalan, Mexican, Mixed Mexican and white, and black, and I'm looking forward to dating this Filipino girl that I like. I myself am Hispanic, and proud to be, so I hang out mostly with Hispanics, but also get along with people of all backgrounds. I say just ignore those who profile you, and chill with those who care about you not because of your color but because of who you are. God Bless.
P.S. Not trying to be racist, but anyone who sits only with people of their own color (in your case, blacks) is not a good choice of someone to hang out with. You should see if you can find a group more diverse if you can. Just my advice.

some people object to interracial relationships because they are racist. Some people object because it reduces the number of partners for people of a certain race. Other people object because interracial marriages are more likely to fail than marriages between people of the same race (this is probably true, but is no reason to hate such relationships.

Just calm down......
I faced the samething cause I looked asian, but I am black. Whites and Blacks hated me cause I did not fit the stereotypes.
Hispanics where cool but they put down blacks alot and forget I am there.
Asian's accepted me though.......wierd...Maybe because I made better grades than they did and I like asian women?
I don't know.
Just be your self.

Humans are humans, and all have feelings.
A relationship shouldn't be solely based on looks, but on personality. If you love someone for their personality, and they return the love, race/size/appearance shouldn't matter at all.
