How do you view mixed race, interracial relationships?

Question

Thoughts, opinions, experiences?

Answer 1

It doesn't bother me. We are all apart of the human race. People are people regardless of their skin color. Only thing that matters is that you like the person and enjoy spending time with them for their personality not the color of their skin or looks. I think mixed children are one of the beautiful children in the world. People who have problems with interracial relationships need to expand their minds. Nobody should tell people who they should date or can't date. I' am black and dated white, black, Hispanic, and Asian men. A man is a man, and a woman is a woman skin color has nothing to do with it. Besides, we are ALL mix with something there is no such thing as being pure black, white, or etc.

Answer 2

Although I haven't personally experienced a mixed or interracial, personal, relationship, I feel that there should be no boundaries when true love or friendship is involved. I have always looked first at the person rather than that person's skin color. I feel that all people were created equally in the eyes of the Lord. He would not want us to judge another person by their difference in skin color. Would I want a relationship with a person of another race (I am white)? If that person is one of character and a christian, I would surely be open to exploring a relationship. I say exploring because I am one who likes to get to know someone, what they are about, what makes them tick...before I jump into something serious. I feel it is long past time to perpetuate the stigma of racism. Who are we to judge a person merely because their skin is a different color than ours? Can you imagine the many wonderful people that may be passed by, that we could have wonderful friendships or relationships with, because of racism? I think that it is a shame that in this day and age, it is still common practice by some people to be this judgemental. There are good and bad people of every race and creed. I think that we are all intelligent enough to distinguish who is worthy of our trust and love without keeping interracial barriers in place. I chose a long time ago to see people on an individual basis. Not to pass judgement based on certain negative criteria. I have some wonderful friends, black and white, and I cherish them because they choose to see me as who I am, not what I look like.

Answer 3

I'm Asian. My other half have been asians, black, whites. I am now dating a white.

It's good and bad.

Good: Both of you learn a new culture (my taste bud is definitely diversified...and ehem, not in the perverted sense) and as a result of that you're more tolerant about the differences in other culture.

Bad: The culture clash too.

Thoughts: I think at least once in your lifetime you should have a relationship with someone out of your own culture. It doesn't have to be interracial in a strict sense. A German dating a Norwegian, for example, both are white but they're from different culture. It's a good eye opener and broadens your mind.

Answer 4

I personally don't have any issues with people of different colors/races dating and perhaps eventually marrying...I never felt that it was wrong or taboo..My 1st 2 b/f were white and then I dated a Latino for many years, I am now dating an African America man..And yes, I am pointing out their races, but in all honesty..I was taught and still believe that there is good and bad in all of us, regardless of skin color, and as far as having children that are of a mixed race..Who cares, all children special...The people who point out the fact that a child is half Chinese, Japanese, African American, or whatever,are stuck in a time warp..

Love knows no color

Answer 5

The same as unmixed relationships. If there is no commitment or sense of loss when there not around, then it's probably a bad thing. But there is another thing, too. You have to love their culture and language and do so, in an active way. After all, your childhoods were a little different in words and often action.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Generally speaking, mixed race people are the most attractive in the world. The Perceptive PROBLEM is when they identify with 1 instead of ALL their genetic makeup ethniciticies.

Answer 8

What would be the problem with it? If two people care about each other, and treat each other right, who should care if they are black, white, yellow, or pink? I have seen people dating in their own race that have worse problems than interracial couples. It's all in how they treat each other.

Answer 9

Someone was asking me not too long ago what my reaction would be if one of my kids grew up to marry or be in a relationship with someone of another race. My response was "As long as they are with someone who treats them with love and respect, I don't care what race they are." And that's how I feel about the subject. I think someone would be foolish to turn someone down who would good to them, good for them, simply because of the color of their skin.

Answer 10

They are great. I have been in several interracial relationships. People who have problems with it are not worth worrying about.
