There was a question about How caucasians felt about their daughters bringing home a black man. The feedback was so harsh. Many said they would disown their daughters. I would like to know if it was the oppisite way around. Would you feel the same way about your son?

I have sons and daughters. If they were to bring home a date or a fiance, or anyone that was a different colour, race, culture etc. I would embrace that person. This is the person that my child has chosen to love and in turn I would love that person as well. When a child marries, that person becomes part of the family and it is like having another son or daughter. I would go to the edge of the world for my own children and I feel the same way about the ones they choose to marry. I have never had a problem with my kids dating people of different colour, cultures etc. That is the beauty of our world... the diversity and differences that make others unique. Don't you personally think that it is time to celebrate those differences instead of constantly being judgemental or suspicious?

I don't have children yet, but I know that if I did and either a son or a daughter brought home a black man or woman, I wouldn't care any more than if the brought home a white man or woman. As long as the person in caring and loving and everything that my child deserved, then their skin color would not matter.

I know my father would have had a fit if I had brought a black girl home. Ironically, he never had a problem with any of the other girls I brought home who were not white (Hispanics, Asians, etc). But he made his point clear that they were alright because they were not black. I have never had an issue with interracial relationships so if I ever had a son, I wouldn't make a deal out of who he brought home... regardless of their color, as long as I felt they were a good person.

Why are you calling all white people caucasian. That implies that my heritage is that of people from the Caucus mountains that seperate Russia from civilization. Personally, Im Irish.
And If my son brought home a back woman, I wouldn't feel one way or the other, as long as she was a nice person who had her life together.

If my son OR daughter generally was someone who had good judgment I'd trust that good judgment.
If my son or daughter were a person with a history of bad judgment and getting into unhealthy relationships then I'd be concerned.
It would not be about race for me. It would be about how mature and how good a judge of character my son or daughter were.
Because being in a relationship with someone of another race can have its own set of complications I think it could be more important that the person involved in such a relationship be sensible and mature.

I don't have a son, but honestly, who cares what color his dates are? My daughter can date any kind, respectful, intelligent young man she likes when she is old enough to date. There don't always seem to be too many of them around, so why limit choices based on skin color? A good man (or boy) is a good man.

I would say that would depend on which color Caucasian you were: we range from the fairest Celtic and Scandinavians though the brown and tan Middle Easterners to the dark brown color of the East Indians and Pakistanis! We are the original "Rainbow Race".So racially, Caucasians range from very white to very, very, dark brown. Personally, it would depend upon how much she and her family were like us, rather than race. We are no racists here.

I do not have a son yet but I would not mind at all (honestly) my boyfriend and I discussed this one night.
It might be a little weird at first just because we don't have any black friends (not by choice) but I certainly wouldn't mind it as long as she treated my boy with respect then they could get married for all i care.

Color of skin makes no difference. It's all about the person. I would try to get to know any girl my son was interested in. Too many people judge others by their appearance. It's the person inside that skin who counts.

Since color is a social distinction and not a natural division, what's the problem? I might be upset about an intraspecies choice, but not about what pleases my son within his own specie.
