Answer 1

Because the US is a county that was built on the subjugation of people, specificially people of color. Don't get me wrong, they subjegated and used white people too-ask the Irish, Scotts, Welsh, etc. Witness the current utterly stupid transformation of french fries to "freedom fries:"
But Black people "stood out the most' and contrasted with everyone else and couldnt "fade into the background".
Made for easier targets, with typicially and (legally were forbidden to: own land-unless a white person or the US government sold it to them, couldnt get bank loans, couldn't own or run a business, couldnt get into the better universities and if a smart person did get in and graduate from a prestigious university, no hospital, law firm or corporation would hire him or her- that's why all of thise Pullmen porters [guys who worked on
the trains back inthe 30's thru the late 50's] were so organized and so well educated, cause most of them were college educated-doctors, lawyers, professionals, from good hard working families - who couldnt get comprable compensation). America is divided by race, and the people who don't acknowledge it are perpetuating the racism that continues to divide us. They have been systematicially taught that everyone other than Black people are important and credible in the system, when someone publicly "pops up", they criticize and analize them too death -checking for perfection, if they find flaws in these publlicized humans, they tear them down and if tye don't find flaws, ie. Condoliza Rice-they imply that they act "white" a nd are defacto whites. As if white people don't ever make mistakes, heh, heh, heheh, look at out "President, Mr "C" student, cant barely put together a coherent sentence Bush"

Interracial dating makes a number of Americans of varied races uncomfotable cause youre' being together pushes the fact that so many were pushed behind and/or away from a decent life-let along being with the person that they might have, could have, or should have been with due to the pigment of their skin.

That's why interracial dating is a big deal; it brings to the forefront - dead center in the eyes of people that have their own issues with the 800 ton elephant in the middle of the room, and therefore the country.

Answer 2

Its no big deal to me really. If i was in "dating mode"-(maybe soon, but not quite just yet!)-then i really would not be the least bit bothered about the colour of the ladies skin in any way shape or form, and actually i never have been...but then thats just me, here in the U.K. There are others of course, of a "less chilled out nature" shall we say-that would probably say or see things differently. Sad to say, but the U.S. has always had a bit of a problem with the "rac../.ism" thing-not just with regards marriage and relationships either:-/

Answer 3

In the US, and they are still racists, mixed dating is seen as odd, and despite what pretences there are, and there are many, when was the last time you saw a big draw black star bed a white woman in a movie. Go on, when...

As to kissing the beard darling, well we did discuss that, ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Answer 4

interracial reproduction leads to an overall reduction in IQ levels of whites and is therefore best avoided.
Even though the genetic blend will enhance negroid IQ levels , the overall intelligence reduction will be regressive for the human race on the whole.
The facts are the average negro is 10 points lower IQ than the average caucasian.(source.the book:"the bell curve")

Im sorry blacks and narrowminded liberals will disapprove but its worth the violation to furnish the ignorant with knowledge.

Answer 5

**** them you look like a very happy couple!!! The US is soo obsessed with race etc when they should all be proud to be american rather than american mixed with whatever over 200 years.

I have ancestry from all over europe but im 100% british and that comes before the colour of my skin!

Answer 6

in basic terms in u.s. is it a huge deal. u.s. makes a brilliant fuss approximately it. what's so eye-catching a pair of individual courting yet another individual? whilst i pass on youtube and examine stuff like "I help interracial courting" I laughed. help? extremely? Why? there's no longer something to help we ought to consistently no longer even care approximately it or be questioning approximately it. i do no longer help same race relationships and and that i do no longer help interracial relationships. i do no longer care they are in simple terms there. human beings could have the skill to date and marry who they love regardless. Race shouldn't additionally count and people who make a huge deal out of it regardless of if or no longer they "help" or "oppose" it could in simple terms STFU.

Answer 7

At the present time it is not a big deal. It's the norm just like the gay lifestyle. It's a choice we have to make as people.

Answer 8

Don't forget...The US is only a bit over 200 years old. Every other country is much older. The US still has some growing to do.
We'll pull our heads out some day.

Answer 9

for such an enlightened country it's a shame that so many of them are still stuck firmly in the past: specially in the deep south!
Racial hatred and Bigotry are still at the top of most peoples lists

Answer 10

It's not a big deal. Sometimes the couples make it a bigger deal than it actually is...
Just enjoy yourself. It's nobody's business, really.
