Question

im just curious

Answer 1

Primarily, racists...

Answer 2

As a couple without children it is no big deal. If kids enter the picture and marriage and long term permanent type responsibilities enter in with extended family there is a mixing of cultures and neither partner understands much about the roots and the ways of thinking and doing of the other. Each of you have expectations that the other can not understand, Then with whites and blacks you have an emotional divide caused by the history in the US that all of your friends and relatives know about one of you but not the other. You as life partners have to sort all this out and raise kids. This is tough when you both come from the exactly same culture, but when it is two different cultures it is impossible ever to understand where the other is coming from Marriage is mostly doomed to failure when things are the best they can be, why stack the deck against a happy marriage and happy kids with a mixed marriage? Life is tough enough,. You don't need to make it a lot tougher. You can not understand until you have reached the point I am after 30 + years of marriage with one women and it has been really tough. And we are both from the same culture, same church, same color, same types of families, same SES, same schools, same type of professions, same hopes and dreams. Same religion. Same colleges. etc. We still did not see some things the same way. Neither of us has changed, so we are always fighting. It will never change on this earth as long as we live.

Answer 3

Some (uneducated, crazy) people think that light skin, hair and eyes are recessive traits. They are afraid that those physical traits (that they love so much) will become extinct through inter-"racial" (www.pbs.org/race) breeding .

but the truth is these are adaptations, and skin color is multiple allele (not dominant or recessive but dependent on many factors)

I know this for a fact. My son is puerto rican and irish. Hes white as a ghost with green eyes and light brown hair, just like me, because we live in the north, in the cold, where there is little light.

(Maybe this is why this idea is still big in the south???)

Who says there is something wrong with it? They are ignorant! there is nothing wrong with interacial couples.

Answer 5

As far as I know there is no problem - but that does not mean that interracical couples do not have problems.

Answer 6

i'm a mixture of numerous nationalities & i think of inter-racial couples are purely like numerous different couple. i'm certainly into caucasian adult adult males. i'm getting lots of flack approximately it, yet i hit upon that I certainly tend to have extra in consumer-friendly with them.

Answer 7

Nothing, just some narrow minded people out there who cannot accept that race doesn't matter.

Answer 8

Nothing. If you live in America, interracial couples are pretty common because we have a multicultural society.

Answer 9

I have never been in one, but I don't know why one would be different than any other relationship. I know some people don't accept them, but I don't know why.

Answer 10

No problem for them.
