The most problems will come from people *outside* the relationship (family, friends, and indeed complete strangers) who disapprove and don't feel shy about saying so.
As far as a relationship itself goes, unless there are huge cultural differences, it's like any other. A lot depends on how willing you are to adapt to the other person's needs and tastes. I don't mean you have to negate your own preferences, but sometimes it requires a bit of give and take...you have to choose your battles about what is most important, and be flexible with everything else.

We humans still divide ourselves between black/ white, Asian/ Caucasian, European/ Tasman.
It is so immature. Why do we think that we are superior while the others are inferior. Every race, each person is endowed with certain qualities and some shortcomings. The sooner we realise this the better.
Once we start seeing each person as an extension of our own body or form, there will be no quarrels at all, leave alone battles and wars.
We have a brain in our body; we treat it to be supereme. Heart again high up. Anus and feet come very low in the order, but can anybody think of surgically removing the above mentioned parts and lead a normal life. NO, it is not possible. Likewise, everybody is here to perform his/ her unique function even if we don't know it.
Once everyone understands, all the beings are equal then there will be no queations about mixed race.
According to me, ppl should be judged solely on character, honesty, hard work etc. (means personal attributes) instead of these superficial attributes that divide the society at large and make people justify their selfish acts based on these.
(Sorry, if I strayed, but I advocate the principle of universal brotherhood)

From personal experience; hell on Earth!
I'm an Australian of strong English lineage. I once went out with a girl with strong Sri Lankan herritage and the culture difference was too big a gulf for us to bridge.
If I'm honest there were other issues at play, but I think that between her and I- that was a major thing.
Now in general, of course every situation if different and of course I'm not saying that mixed relationships can't work. They can and do and more power to those people.
Frankly, I can't see myself going into another mixed race relationship because of my own ways and feelings.

That all depends upon what each party has to offer. There will always be cultural differences that is just one of those things you cannot escape. I've been in one for the past 23 (almost) years and I wouldn't trade it in the world. A big bonus is you can add your language to his or vice versa and come out with some pretty comical things. It's a treasure chest of adventure and knowledge when the mind and heart are both open.

I'm a white guy and dated an African American girl for a while and it was one of my best relationships ever. I'm a lousy boyfriend but we've been best friends for the last 5 years and still going. You might get looks from some people now'n then. Especially if your hanging out in the backwoods of Arkansas. lol. Other than that I didn't see much difference than any of the other white girls or ethnic backgrounds that I've dated.

All relationships are mixed relationships... there are the men and there are the women. Both are different species!!
I am Mexican-Irish and I have dated Mexican-American and Jewish, been entangled with Chinese from China. I think it doesn't matter unless you make it matter and usually it matters to those peopple who are only "white".
The more culture you can mix in the more flavor the relationship.

No different from ordinary relationships,a few problems encountered via people who don`t accept the idea but on the whole the best thing since sliced bread.

It can be beautiful and wonderful. Like any relationship, it depends on the girl.
