Answer 2

I Asked The Same Thing Couple Days Ago On Here. Like, I'm MExican, Hispanic, Latino, Whatever The "Politically" Correct Word Is. I Could Careless, Really. But Anyway, I Want To Date Outside My Race. Learn From Different Cultures And Backgrounds, You Know?? Me Myself, I LOVE Asian Girls, I Think Their Ancestry And Culture, Background, All That Is Interesting. But The Thing Is, I Don't Think They Really Date/Marry Outside Their Race, You KNow?? If They Do, It's Usually A "White"Guy, Ain't Nothing Wrong With That, It's Just That They Only Date/Marry Either Race. But Yeah, I Could Care Less If People Date Outside Thier Race, Much Less About What Others May Thin About Me Dating Outside The Race. I Know My Family Doesn't Care. But I don't Hopefully, I Find A Asian Female That Will Date/Marry A Mexican, Hispanic, Latino, Whatever!! Also, I've Been Noticing Alot Of Cute Black Females And Another Kind Of Females That Are Hardly Ever Spoken About Are Indian-American Females. SOme Of Them, When They Have Thier Hair Down And Without That Head Dress Deal They Wear, Some Are Just Real Real Gorgeous!!! BUt That's Just Me, Though. But Asian-American Females, Whhoooo, Nothing Tops Them!!!!! L.O.L

Answer 3

I see nothing wrong with interracial relationships. Honestly, I would say that I prefer dating a woman that is the same race as I am, but I am not be opposed to dating a woman from another race.

When I was in the Army in South Korea, I was engaged to a Korean woman for several months. It didn't work out because her family did not want her to marry an American soldier, so they made her life hell. I am caucasian, and that was the first time that I had ever been personally exposed to racism. They wanted her to marry a Korean man, and they would have disowned her if she had chosen to marry me. I knew she had a difficult choice to make, so I didn't force the issue by telling her to leave her family. I allowed her to make the decision on her own even though my heart was broken when she decided to remain loyal to her family and basically allow them to make the decision for her.

How can anyone say that they are not racist at all, if they believe that interracial marriage and dating should not take place? I guess they think God is a racist. Sounds strange to me...

Answer 4

I really dont care about which race I date or have sex with, as long as I love them and they love me. I wouldnt mind marrying people thats a different race from mines too. But I think its better if I married someone from my own race because of the cultural similarities reason. Also, my parents would get alone with my husband. But I generally dont care which race I date or marry. I think having interracial relationships is pretty cool. Sometimes im sick of being with people of my own race, so I would like to experience being with people of a different race.

Answer 5

I have raised my children to be color blind. I was raised in an area where there was 1 black family in our entire school. I married a Latin American and most of my children's friends are of different nationalities. I think we are beyond one race. Man kind has been mixing races for thousands of years. It's only a matter of time before we are all one race. The human race is the only race that matters! We are all people with hearts and souls and sadly opinions that sometimes stink! BTW GREAT QUESTION!

Answer 6

I have been married in an interracial marriage for 10 years. I don't really think of my wife in terms of being from a different race at all.

Incidentally, despite everything you see on here, there is no such thing as "race". Race has been scientifically debunked as a scientific factor and differences based on socio-economic and ethnocentric variables are what makes us act differently from other races.

Prior to my marriage, I sampled a bit from many cultures. I am white, and have been with many white girls, but I do not prefer them, because, well honestly, I know their gig and it is usually pretty tired and superficial. White girls usually have pretty heinous skin with no makeup on, which ekes me out a little.

Answer 7

I am white, actually if you break it down I am Irish, Dutch, German and Cherokee Indian. I live with a Mexican. Race is not the question for me, it is how I am treated. If the person I was meant to be with was another race I wouldn't care, after all take off the skin and we are all the same.

Answer 8

well i think without being rude we should stay to our own race before we are all one race.god made different races for a reason why dwindle them down to nothing? I'm not racist at all i have many black friends but i don't think we should make babies together and its soooooooo hard on the kids people pick on them and make them feel like crap because of the choices there parents make that is not fair to them

Answer 9

So, I'm white and I had a balck bf. We split up because of other reasons, but I would have been more than comfortable marrying him and having kids and all that. He was a good guy. I don't look at skin color, so I don't care what race you are, as long as you treat me like a human being.

Answer 10

We are free children of God; therefore in terms of marriage, interracial relationships should not be a barrier, or hindrance. But just to have sex outside marriage is definitely out!

There are a few Cultures that do not allow marriage with another race. In this case they are closed to their own culture. A few months ago, I met somebody who is an Asian and she told me that their culture doesn't allow intermarriage to another race. If the couple will pursue to it, the clan will chase them out of the clan and they will be disowned. How sad! But I guess we humans have to be patient with such closed cultures. Time will come when they will be opened to change...I hope.

My family is international. There are four nationalities and races in our family because of marriage. Each one is a gift to one another!

Answer 11

I'm an Australian of English/Scottish descent, married to a South American of Spanish descent. I've been married to an Australian and also in a long term relationship with an Australian, so I reckon I just don't care about race.
As long as you both can be sympathetic to each other's cultural heritage, there's no problem at all.
