Why should it be any different than any other relationship? All you need to do is put your differences aside, or even better - learn from eachother and respect eachother's cultures.

I know a lot of relationships between people of different races that have worked out. Sometimes depending on the strictness of family culture and tradition it would be frowned upon but at the end of the day you are not under control by your family (past a certain age!) and you can go out and do what you will, and if you really love a person and they love you too, then it can work.

Yes.

I believe that all relationships are difficult. There are many obstacles to making a relationship work. Differences in culture, language, spiritual beliefs, financial handling, attitudes towards others, expectations of others, and many other issues make it tough to get along.

Once someone has matured to the point where life is no longer "all about yourself", then one is ready to start learning how to spend life sharing with another person.

The next obstacle to overcome is that of communities. Community can be one's family, one's friends, and one's neighbors. And to develop tolerance, trust and love between yourself and these others requires time and patience.

I've watched my kids grow up in an environment where the prejudices between cultures are present, but relatively minor compared to tensions and pressure elsewhere. The biggest problems the kids face is a) getting both sets of parents (or grandparents) to accept the other and b) getting the peers to accept the other.

In my experience, there isn't one race/culture that is more resistant than another. I've seen parents of all cultures tell their kids they couldn't date other cultures. And I've seen lots of combinations of cultures dating. The dating doesn't seem to be as big a problem as the acceptance by others.

I reccommended to my kids that they NOT try to date across culture until after they graduate from high school. My hope was that once the kids leave behind the highly compressed peer pressure of high school, the chances for successful relationships increased.

Of course, another factor is finding someone who isn't a jerk or so tied up trying to please their peers/family that they don't prioritize the relationship.

Of course they do.. It all depends on how in love the both parties are. They would go against all odds just to be with each other.
Well, you may think that this is like some movies or novels type of scenario and there isnt anyone who would do that cuz of the pressure they have to face, but trust me there are many who eventually live happily ever after..

Guess the racial aspects must see how they compromise to each other and how strongly they believe in their religion. Few have to give up their own religion practices in order to be together and that didnt stop them either. Its easy to compromise with both parties but I think the harder part would be convincing their families.

Some families have strong beliefs that its not good to marry someone who is of different background as each other as it would be difficult to live together.

So at the end of the day, convince each other that you want to be together and with that strong belief and determination, I guess their family members would soon give in. Just have to bear with the criticisms and also the pressure faced in order to be each other...

Of course they can work! There might be a few more stumbling blocks, ie: if family is accepting, but otherwise, yes...they definitely can work! A mixed marriage or relationship can bring so much more to the family, like their culture and food,

Inter-racial relationships work all the time.

I am white but have had relationships with an India woman and an Iranian woman. I don't understand why it should be an issue.

I know there are people who disagree with these relationships...but they have never had the courage to tell me about it, so I don't care about them.

of course they do! if you and your partner believe in love and believe in each other than it will work for you. Love is what it is. Try not to let the prejudices of the world around you ruin what is true to you and your partner. I think it is great! U both can learn about each others different lifestyles an cultures and the share your similarities. Have fun and F**K what anyone else says... good luck!

Of course they will! Never ever underestimate the power of love, do ya' know that? I believe it will last long because I know once you love someone else so much that you will do anythin for him/her, their race and backgrounds will be the last thin' we will worry about! To me, everyone is just the same. We are humans! One thin' you and others should know is that we should not ever let race separates us from loving the one we loved much!

Love is stronger than race. Look, some people even love animals and they stay with them til they are separate by death. My brother is married to a different race and he is happy with her. Honey, don't talk about RACE because it evil.

Yes, all different combinations work.. My mom (white) dated someone who was African American and I have three mixed brothers. I live in Asia so I see lots of Asians and white mixed, it is not frowned upon. Divorce is.. It all depends on your love and if you love him/her. People who are racist aren't exposed to different cultures so they just learn to hate...
You can overcome
