Do you think the world has accepted intteracial relationships?

Question

I see soo many people stare @ interracial couples while out & about! I know people have personal prejudices but they just dont want to say it...........do you agree with me?

Answer 1

i notice that too. when i dated a black guy i noticed everyone looked at me, way more than when i dated a white guy.

Answer 2

I believe the world tolerates it more now. Unfortunately though, the world will not ever truly accept interracial relationships because there will always be those that are prejudice. Personally myself I see nothing wrong with interracial relationships. It is just two human beings in love. I think it is great.

Answer 3

depends on where you are, unfortunately. Typically, people who live in more diverse areas are more accepting of interracial couples and mixed-race families than people who don't live near much diversity. Also, prejudice tends to decrease with peoples levels of education.

I'm in an interracial relationship, and in the diverse city we live in, no one seems to notice or care. We have plenty of friends who have spouses/partners of different races and nationalities and it's just not a big deal. However, when we go to my rural Southern hometown people can be pretty obnoxious. My guy is from southern India, and people back home try to figure out "what he is" - is he black? is he white? Is he Latino with darker skin and a weird accent? (why does it matter?!) They also wonder if he's a terrorist.

My family, though, adores him and is excited to have him in our lives. Things have been more difficult with his family because of certain aspects of their culture, but most of them have been willing to meet me and give me a chance. I feel like I'll never be quite good enough, and I know that I'm not the woman they would have chosen for him, but we're head-over-feet in love and that's what matters. It's hard for people to overcome hundreds of years of cultural norms, so we just have to be patient and hope that they'll see that we're happy and be supportive.

Things are MUCH better for interracial couples now than a few decades ago. We're not all the way there, but I think we're making progress.

Answer 4

Yes, and no. The world no. The US in most places yes has accepted interracial relationships. It is pretty common, but not the norm. The reason people L@@k is not because of bigotry, but curiosity. What does she see in him? Him in her? People look at couples in love often with the same curiosity. You are just more aware.

My girl is black. I'm white. She notices people watching more than I. I notice the bad stares more than she. It's about perspective. She is looking to see if there is bigotry. I am looking for someone who is out of line. Also the male will naturally be more protective and aware of something out of line. I get the "look" from black men. She gets it from white men. Women are less into the "look".

Answer 5

I'm a blonde haired blue eyed white girl and my bf of 2 years is black. We've both had certain experiences with what you're talking about. When we're in a restaurant, I notice that white and hispanic men give him looks like he doesn't deserve to be around a white girl. But I also notice that when we're walking down streets together, black girls tend to look at me like I'm just another white girl trying to take away the only men they have left.

Here's the point: My man and I have been together for 2 years and do not care who says or thinks what. To be honest, I hardly even notice the hostile reaction people throw us anymore. I love him and what matters is the strength in our relationship, not what others tell me who I can and cannot love.

"If it weren't this, it would be something else." People like to gossip about whatever they can think up. If they weren't bickering about interracial dating, they'd be bickering about something else. Ignore it and be secure in the relationship you and whomever you're with share. Life is too short to let the ignorant hold you back.

Answer 6

I think some people have accepted it, but not everyone. Unfortunately some people just will never accept it, but if want to be with someone don't worry about what people think or say not even the way they look at you when you walk down the street. In the end all that matters is your happiness.

Answer 7

Hell no!! There are too many racist jack.asses that don't realize that it is 2007. I don't see why they just don't get over it. Its like every preson of a race is bad and that is completely untrue, but some people can't realize it. I get a lot of unwelcomed criticism from people because i date white girls, big woo! Who cares? Really? It may become reality but not in this lifetime or probably the next.

Answer 8

well i'll say where i stand. if its love, fair play. if its some dizzy little hoe sleeping with an immigrant cos she thinks the fact that he dont have to work and has unlimited cash flow and a free car in the uk and a free house is just cheap because its betraying our country and our people to degrade herself in such a way.
if its a relationship thats genuine and meant, fair play, even though it does look wrong sometimes, the world is full of different coloured people and hey, love can happen whatever colour we are so why not?

Answer 9

We may as well adjust to the fact that the world may never accept interracial relationships as long as they still stereotype,
judge, disrespect and despise other people
of different races. It all ties in together.


It's plain and simple: (black & white).
There are no grey areas.

Unless you know of a way to eradicate racism, discrimination, prejudice and detestation altogether, we will constantly
be harrassed and annoyed by this problem.

Answer 10

Love is neither white nor black nor Asian or the rest...if one individual cares approximately yet somebody else, that's the main necessary ingredient. i'm a white lady and that i like an Asian guy, i do no longer see any concern with interracial relationships. some human beings might have a concern with it, yet people who do are greater superficial and function lots to learn.

Answer 11

For the most part, yes, but there are still people with opposing beliefs and views about interracial relationships and marriages. I still get the stares when Im out with my partner, but hey thats their problem, not ours.
