Why do people make such a big deal about dating outside of your race? There is a couple at my school, the girl is african american and the boy is white, and everyone makes fun of them. they bravely face the hallways, hand in hand and await the taunting day in and out. What is so wrong with this? this is america and it isnt the 1800's anymore, so why arent people more liberal about this yet?

There seems to be more issue with blacks and whites dating (in the U.S) than any other two races...
Some people are small minded, but in the case of kids at school it's because it's what they've learned from their parents...give them time to come into their own, and use their minds to think and reason for themselves, and they will see there's no logic behind having an issue with interracial dating/relationships.
We have come a long way re: this issue...but still have far to go.

i had an exboyfriend who was white. and i am african american. see people these days think it makes more sense to date inside of your race. that a white women should be with a white man and a black woman should be with a black man. but it really doesnt matter. the people making fun of the couple is really childish for some high schoolers. when i was going out with the white boy we made a promise not to tell anyone because everyone expected us to go together. but we didnt tell anyone we kept it a secret. we became friends after we broke up but it was cool. if people had knew at the time we were going out that we were going together they would be like" its about time yall went out" or" i knew yall would be together" things like that. so for them to ignore it is good because the people dont realize that a good strong relationship isnt based on race and skin color. its about the way the couple feels on the inside. yea it looks right when two people of the same race go out but when it is mixed they think its weird. the people who act this way are jealous because they have found something special and they still lookin. maybe thats why. there is nothing wrong with datint outside of race.

In the in-mortal word of Michale Moor : " After all this years we think the North won against the south in the civil war but no that was just a battle not the war, I mean African Americans get payed less than whites, and there in the low est part of society so yes the south won." as well that is not yet well accepted due in my opinion to neo-Nazi ideals that are in society. I agree there nothing wrong with it, its only love.

There is nothing wrong with dating outside of your race. Some people are just not as open minded to interracial relationships as others. Some people need to grow up and understand that this is America and people are going to do what they want to do regardless of what anyone says or thinks. It is interesting to know about other people's cultures anyway.

LOL!! i think you may say i'm racist and hypocritical. in spite of the undeniable fact that i'm mixed race basically like my mothers and fathers. My father is African American and a splash bit chinese language on his father's area mutually as his mom is many times Vietnamese, chinese language, Manchu, Mongolian, and Kazakh (my paternal grandmother's ancestors got here from a protracted line of Northern chinese language and critical Asian Turkic rulers). My mom is many times African American with some Vietnamese and little bits of French, Russian and local American. besides the undeniable fact that, my mothers and fathers are raised decrease than Vietnamese custom and that they suspect as long as I also have a stable female then that's stable sufficient. My approach has quite replaced in my teenager years. I grew to grow to be so evil that I even disowned my 0.5 cousin (my mom's 0.5 sister's daughter). I disowned her because of the fact her newborn is many times Black & Puerto Rican. i'm formally caught with a loser who's my cousin in-regulation. i won't be in a position to have faith my mom's kinfolk widely used this. I even have pals from all racial communities yet my blood is critical. examine and remark.

It's no biggie at all any more.
The only issue is actually reproducing interracially. Degrades the genepool of some races and reduces our diversity.

What's even wierder is that people have been mixing with others since like people first discovered their neighbors thousands of years ago.
So getting all bent out of shape now is kinda ridiculous.

It really depends on where you live. In my area, there are quite a lot of mixed couples. Love doesn't discriminate.
