Pros & Cons of Intraracial Marriage?

Question

Specifically, White/Mexican marriage

Answer 1

Only thing I would suggest if be sensitive to cultural differences. Make a point of appreciating them and then have a great life!

Answer 2

it's interracial marriage... intraracial is 2 people of the same race.

Are you serious, pros and cons?! If you still see the person you want to marry as a mexican, you shouldn't be getting married. Race should have nothing to do with it.

Answer 3

My brother (white) is married to a Mexican girl and they live in El Paso. The only problem they have is when they are with her family, they are speak Spanish, (he doesn't) and has even gotten up and left before. They get into arguments about this all the time, as her family does speak English, but just won't when they are in their home. My brother feels they should speak English because he doesn't speak Spanish, and they feel it's THEIR house they should be able to speak what they want.

Pro's? Great looking kids!

Answer 4

I think it depends alot on where you live, is it very conservative or a more liberal area. If you live in the SW anywhere, it would not be unusual to see white/mexican/latino couples. But in Minnesota, for example, it may be viewed differently, not correctly, just differently. I feel people overall need to loosen up about the interracial topic, but then I'm more liberal than conservative.

Answer 5

When I went to college I lived in HUD housing with my wife and daughter while both of us attended college. In the complex there were lifer welfare moms. One in particular had half black children and no daddy within 100 miles of her.

One day she came from one of the many agencies she frequented to get freebies. She was telling me that she wasn't going to get more food stamps for her and her kids because the people at the welfare office were "prejudice" because she was "black". Now mind you, she was as white as me and my wife, but she took on more than just black men when she went interracial. She took on the entitlement mentality, and attitudes. I asked her how the welfare office can withhold more food stamps from her based on her "being black" when blacks make up the majority of welfare and food stamp participants..she didn't have an answer other than the patented black response.."they just are racists" By the way she and her kids were morbidly obese, so I was wondering how she was claiming her kids were "hungry". Well apparently her cries of "racism" worked and they got her more food stamps. The squeaky wheel does get the grease.

So interracial marriage, or relationship is to the benefit of the white person as long as the white person is female, because they can get more benefits.

Answer 6

? It all depends on the people. I've heard that even half of white/white marriages end in divorce.
