Answer 1

I personally see nothing wrong with biracial relationships. What matters is love. When two people love each other enough to make a life together, and raise their children in an environment of love, then it doesn't matter what colour skins are. Love knows no colour.

Answer 2

Your dad is part of the "old school" group. Many people in there 40+ are against interracial dating. Personaly I hope it dies with them. It wont. You need more info to properly answer this question..... But, on a genetics platform interracial dating is a very very very good thing....... Children born from interracial dating have much better immune systems also lose many genetic misinformations that are common among inbreeding. Im not saying that when you do not mix race your inbreeding, just stating that you have many more oppertunitys of overlapping genes when only reproducing with your own race. That said when and if I do have a daughter I hope she stays within our race. Though I will love her regaurdless be it if she decides too be with only my race or on the other end of the spectrum and ends up gay. Hope this helps give us some more info to help more.

I can understand where the other people are coming from, but when you love someone colour doesn't come into it. I am white and my other half is Asian, and we have 4 beautiful kids. And I wouldn't change that for the world. We have been together for nearly 20 years and have had only a few problems with other people saying snide remarks, and that is because they have very small minds. People are People no matter what colour, religion etc. we are all the same inside! When you see a disabled or disfigured person you don't judge them on what they look like do you.

Answer 4

I am the same with you on if you love some who cares what color or anything else for that matter. A lot of old fashion people instill some things into the younger generations still. Whether it be hate or interracial dating. They believe that if your black you should only day black, or if you Hispanic date only Hispanic. They thought in some sort of way by mixing races that you would be tainting your race. almost like corruption. I think there are other reasons but that is what i gather they appose interracial dating.

Answer 5

People who are against interacial dating have been that way for many years. Maybe its because of religion or its just because thats just how they feel. Its sometimes because of racism because once my friend *dated* a *hispanic boy* and his parents didnt like white girls so they never really got along but you know...not everyone accepts everyone. They just need to wake up to a world of reality and relize that no matter what they say, they are not going to have control over whoever lives in this world and they also dont conrol who people love. I wanted to tell YOU( The girl who asked this question) to not listen to what those people have to say to you because Im sure you and fiance are okay with have a interacial relationship and your imput is the only one that matters...hope I helped anwser you question but good luck!

Answer 6

The ones against it are those who are programmed throughout life to stick to the rules they were brought up with. Look at talks about religion. If you try to convince someone of something that differs from what they were raised with, you have an argument, or war. Over what? Something we were 'programmed' with and told is the 'way'. Has anybody ever seen GOD?
So inter-racial dating/relationships are the same. The ones who aren't against it, yet still don't do it, are those who care too much what others will think.

Answer 7

ok, this may sound racist, but I was raised that if you are of a color, u date withing,and marry, and reproduce, within that color. That,however,was 35 years ago, when bi/multiracial people were rare, and not as common as they are now. My dad raised me that whites stick with whites, blacks with blacks, asians with asians, and so on. He said that when the races mixed, there would be trouble,that the kids would not be tolerated and they would suffer for the parent's " mistake". I don't see that much any more, but I guess that the mixing of the races isn't an issue like it was 30-35 years ago. Back then, when a biracial kid went to my school, he/she was made fun of endlessly,and therefore, the " point " was proven. it was so sad. i am white in appearance, but I am actually Native American, and Irish. My daughter, is Mexican, Native American,and Irish ,and isn't made fun of at all. So that tells you that people, have made long strides in tolerance in the last 3 decades!

Answer 8

Do you mean biracial? Hybrid? The reason for this is if you marry someone of a particular race you will not have problems to begin with because love is absolutely blind BUT as you get older the differences are more apparent and then there is a divide.As people get older they are inclined to go back to their origins. Your fiance is also of a mixed race so it should be ok providing the backgrounds are the same as you will always understand each other BUT if your backgrounds are NOT the same then as you get older you will revert back to your original upbringing, want the type of food you had when you were young and your beliefs will change back also. You may not agree but this is what I have noticed...why? Because that it when you were presumably the happiest with yourself.

Answer 9

I personally think that there is nothing wrong with interracial dating, however, when the concept originally came up, scientists thought that it would mess with the gene pool of the different races.

In the past, "intra-racial" marriages have led to the reduction of certain genetically transmitted diseases in certain races (eg- cystic fibrosis in the south indian race is virtually unheard of).

However, with the advent of modern medicine, this argument is no longer valid, and I believe it is racist people or those who blindly follow past-beliefs, who are against interracial dating. There is nothing wrong with it.

Answer 10

For some people, this goes against the accepted norm in society[i.e the society of the particular ethnic group in question] .It is a problem for some people ; they want to stick with what they are most comfortable with,they view other groups as intruders, thus they will never accept interracial dating.Words to a West Indian calypso : Have a couple gal in town who feel their SOCIAL going wrong. I did not believe until they introduce me to Jean ...... choose such a Hippie home... but not Ray-can .... Ray-can with the herring in his hand...... who sing about carnival on the MOON , but not Ray-can, if it cost me life like Ray-can, map all about like a crazy man, ..... it is a social girl I try-ing to find.
