I'm Black and the bulk of the guys I've gone out with were White. One was Chinese, one was/ is Mexican (got back together), and one was Black.
Just be prepared to get stares and negative comments. Total strangers may come up to you and question why you are with "him" and family/ friends may even turn their back on you.
It sounds tough, but it's all worth it!
Stats:
In 1960 there were about 150,000 interracial married couples in the United States. This number grew rapidly to more than 1.0 million in 1998. In 2000, they numbered 1.46 million.

There's nothing wrong with interracial dating. I'm white, my boyfriend is half black. On the other hand, you're 14 and you like a guy who you described as "gangster". I don't think that dating anyone who could be described as "gangster" is good, no matter what ethnicity he is. Therefore I don't know if I trust your judgment......
But, when has a teenager ever listened to any advice? Practically never - so, I say if you are going to be dating AT ALL at this age, just don't have sex, and don't get TOO emotionally attached. Have fun with it.
People are saying that the reality is that you're going to have to put up with a lot of crap when you date inter-racially, and I don't think that is always true. I'm 28, and although my parents were a little wary when I started dating my black boyfriend, none of my friends cared, none of his friends cared, and no one makes comments or anything in public. I DO live in Long Beach CA though. It takes a little more than an interracial couple to turn heads here.

it is your relationship so as long as you're happy, then under no circumstances suggestions others (such as your loved ones). i'm in an interracial relationship and that i replaced into married to a white guy for countless years ( i'm a million/2 black. a million/2 white); we are committed to a minimum of one yet another and don't see coloration. Be good and be arranged for stares and comments. I in simple terms don't be conscious anymore, i'm too busy taking section in time with somebody i'm prepared on. when I asked him contained in the beginning up if he had dated a black woman previously, he stated I date "women folk" no longer black, white, purple, or yellow!" it incredibly is the final suggestions-set achieveable! good luck!!!

Colour is not supposed to make a damn bit of difference. I know society can be rude sometimes... but no-one ever made history by following the rules! Society also frowns on gays, but they don't give a damn... they live their lives full and happily. Not all people form all walks of life will always agree with your choice and you should (from a practical point of view) keep in mind that your family and/or his family might also have a problem with the relationship... but never give up on what YOU believe in. And if you believe that this could work... then STAND UP for yourself, for him and for your chance at a relationship.

To answer your question: It's not the color of a person's skin that makes them a person. It's the person in general that makes them a person. Who gives a crap what other people may say or what they think. It's all about you and him. If you feel comfortable with it by all means go for it. If you and him have the same mutual feelings for each other then let nothing stand in your way. Persue your heart. To be totally honest with you, it's not a place for other people's opinion or their thoughts. Your mature enough to make that decision yourself. Try to forget about other people's opinions or whatever they have to say. Just as long as you two are very happy and the feelings between the two of you are mutual. By all means go for it all.

People who are ignorant can be mean. If you are going to date interacially, you must know that you are strong enough to ignore the haters.
Your brother is a fraternal twin and I'm sure you know that. Recessive genes can cause him to be darker, even if your parents are both fair skinned.
In the end, humanity all came from Adam and Eve. Dominant and Recessive genes account for all the variety of humans.
But we are all the same inside. Feel free to date whoever you care for.
Best Wishes,
Sue

I don't have a problem with it. But, my personal preference is to be with guys of my race which is Native American. I'm not saying that I don't give other guys of other races a chance. The opportunity never came along, and besides I'm already in a relationship. I have a lot of close friends that are African American and a lot of the girls don't approve of the guys dating outside their race, same goes for a lot of my Native American friends. They see it as betrayal and a lot of it is jealousy. So if you're serious about this relationship be prepared to get "mean" and rude comments. Best of luck. :)

I think we can all agree (except for racist idiots) that your ethnicity doesn't matter. Whites aren't better than blacks, blacks aren't better than whites. Same goes for Asians, Hispanics, whatever. So what the hell is wrong with interracial dating? The only difference is skin tone. And when it comes down to it, that's not a very big difference at all. If people make fun of you guys, ask them why they're not at their Ku Klux Klan meeting.

Color should not make a difference. If you enjoy each other's company and you have a lot in common, don't worry what other people think. You only have a chance to go around once in your lifetime - grab the brass ring and go for it.

A difference in race should not matter...BUT it does, doesn't it? The reality is that if you date this guy, you will have to face the disapproval of others. Of course, most of them will have no business telling you how they disapprove of your relationship.
So face the reality that you will have to deal with people criticizing you for dating this guy and then decide for yourself if it is worth it or not.
