The thing is I 've dated outside my race before and I probably will in the future. The thing is their are people from different backgrounds and beliefs about people of other cultures. I realized race has nothing to do a with a persons true character, it can only have some influence over it!

I've dated outside my race, I have no problem with it personally. I do have a problem with those who make a bigger deal out of it that it really is.
I guess because I grew up not really seeing a huge difference in race, my dad worked as in television and directed a local dance show that was predominantly a "black" show, but he also directed stuff that was aimed at a lot of other racial and cultural groups, so I just didn't see things in term of race all that much at all. We, as a family, would be invited out to family restaurants owned by or frequented by those of one race, we'd be invited to church services at churches who's parishoners were predominantly another race, we'd go to cultural festivals and block parties all the time.
My brother and I were raised to see people for their actions and deeds rather than the color of their skin or what religion they followed.

I dated a black man for quite some time but we weren't serious about each other. Had we been, it would have been difficult. My father was extremely prejudiced (he's dead now) & I can't even imagine what our relationship would have been like. I'm not in the habit of introducing dates to my family unless we're serious so we never met each other's families. I have no idea what his parents would have thought about it. Our parents didn't live in the same town we did.
Marriage is difficult & a couple of different races would have to be very strong to withstand the many difficulties they would encounter from others.
However, that being said, if I met a nice man of another race I would go out with him. Nice men aren't all that easy to come by especially at my age.

I have never been in an inter-racial relationship or dated someone of another race. I don't really know if I would want to or if I could. People are free to date, marry, and mingle with whomever they want to...It's just not my cup of tea. One of my good friends is going out with a white guy right now, its not her first time either and I don't object to that. I think that relationships are pretty difficult no matter what but it must be difficult inter-racially.

Were I to say other than "there's nothing wrong" would invite the wrath of the political correctness thought police, or possibly yahoo's new policing regime, whatever that is.
While I have dated out of my race, I've been hated for doing so by those whose sensibilities were different. Yet, I personally know some males, whites, blacks, and native american indians, who "date" outside their race more maliciously. It was a game, a f--- you, to those of another race. I've heard them laugh and brag. But then I've known the 'players' that are simply men "doing" women or women toying with men for similar reasons. It doesn't have to be racism, or even sexism, when simple maliciousness and meanness are artfully at the root. That said to say this, the reasons to date, as to object, are varied and sometimes legitimate on both sides.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with inter-racial relationships. It is purely a cultural taboo. I can't understand why people get so upset over two people of different races falling in love

My wager is that that is a "convenience" element. in case you've been raised in an section the position there replaced into one dominant kind of race, that would nicely be what you're used to and hence locate acceptable. would nicely be the same as being raised with those with a particular hair colour and under no circumstances extremely being drawn to those who don't have that hair colour. that's all on someone foundation. a lot of human beings are basically close minded also.

There is nothing wrong with inter-racial dating. People who are still against it are old fashion or racist. I myself dated outside of my race and my husband is hispanic and I am not. Love should not be bound by the color of someone's skin. You should always follow your heart and date people that match your likes and dislikes.

There is nothing MORALLY wrong with it. The only thing I can think of is tha God told the Jews not to marry certain tribes that were cursed. But there aren't any moral or ethical issues with it now. The only problem is the cultural issue. That can be worked out, but it is sometimes just another problem to deal with.

Mammals should probably always date other mammals. You can't always go out all the places an amphibian would like to take you and a fish is definately out. Okay, yes, I was being silly. Yes, my Love, Humans should always date Humans. Blessings.

well...i guess it is a bit different because you have to realize that different races and ethnicities have different beliefs and customs...but you know that phrase, love knows no race...it's just like that....if you think you want to, then go ahead...it's nothing bad :D :D
