What do you think of marriage between different races/ mixed races?

Question

and what do you think of the children of mixed races?

I am 50% persian 25% Arab Iranian, 25% Bengali (that is what people told)
well there are obvious positives in being of mixed races...but the negatives have cast a dark shadow throughout my life and I had to go through a lot of trouble throughout my life to keep myself happy about life...I have however determined myself to "mix" no longer and will do what I can to keep to my major Persian roots as much as possible...

I was just curious about other people's thoughts on marriage between mixed races? and what is your opinion on people of mixed identities like me?

Thank you for any answers in advance :)

oh sorry no......I am not marrying someone of another race.....

Sorry I made you misunderstand this...I am a product of the mixing...

I expect to marry only someone of persian (or Arab) decent in the future

Answer 1

I also support marriages between different races
Myself I am a mixture of many races 7 that I know of
I have cousins with different mixtures

one thing that I like about marriage between different races is that they produce such beautiful children

I understand there is a lot of ignorance out there but the way I see it there only seems to be a lot of problem makers because they are so loud that they get noticed.
Myself most all the people I have met have been wonderful and my mixed heritage is something I am grateful for.

Often I think of it like dogs. Purebreds are subject to a lot of problems. Each breed has it's own deficiencies and health concerns. A mutt/mongrel of multitude breeds is far more robust and healthy as a rule. I think this advantage shows in humans also.

I am sorry you had to go through a lot of trouble throughout your life but somewhere you need to come to grips with the fact that all these problems were because of other peoples problems that you accepted as yours.
You can and of course should still love and treasure yourself.
I am willing to bet that you have awesomeness within you that is of wealth to the earth
I would plead with you to align yourself with the awesome great people of the earth and accept their views, not the views of the ignorant ones that cast dark shadows for they should not be the atmosphere in which you dwell..

Answer 2

Well, that's an interesting twist. I never knew there was a new law created for a state disallowing mixed marriages. I would agree with this only because the mixing of races can produce some horrible characteristics in a child they convceive. of course, all this has to do with proper upbringing too. We are a melting pot and mixed relationships will continue. Who am I to say. There might be some wonderful marriages out there with wonderful children that grew up to be very fine adults. There are Christian marriages too and they choose to live by the laws from the bible too. That can be a wonderful marriage too.

Answer 3

I used to think that I was open minded enough that I would be completely willing enough to marry someone of another race/culture, but as I get older, and have been "in love" more than once, I realize that love isn't all it takes to make a marriage. I honestly believe that for most marriages to work, and if I ever get married, that it helps to come from a common background. I don't think two people necessarily have to look alike, but it is important to have a shared culture. For instance, I am 100% anglo, but I grew up on the US/Mexican border, and a significant amount of my friends growing up were Mexican, as were most of my classmates and neighbors. Many of my relatives have married people of Hispanic (mainly Mexican) descent, therefore some of my cousins are hispanic. Therefore I hardly see a distinction between Mexicans and myself...note that doesn't extend to all Latin Americans, because Latinos/Latinas from South/Central/Caribbean America are very distinct groups of people. I hope that makes sense, I hate having to admit that I do see a difference between races/cultures, but I don't think that makes them better or worse than me, just different, especially the cultural part.

Answer 4

What better way could there be to eliminate racial prejudice than to make everyone the same race??
I'm all in favor of mixed-race marriage and children. Too many people in the world are obsessed with racial issues. If we all married for love and did not give a thought to race, the world would be a better place.
Dr. Martin Luther King put it best when he said that we should be judged by the content of our character, not the color of our skin.

Answer 5

I'm sorry that people have seemingly ostracized you because of mixed race. The problem is not so much about marriage between different races as much as some people's negative reaction to that. I am white and grew up in an area which is all white and experienced much racial instability years ago. Recently I walked the beach in this area and saw people of every race and color and thought how wonderful it was, that people of all color could be together. Do what your heart tells you and anyone who gives you a hard time is not worth listening to.

Answer 6

Well, i think its a good mix blend of custom. I'm mix too. My grandfather from my mother side is Muslim Bengali,my grandmother is Chinese and my my mother side is Indian Muslim, so i cant tell how i looks like. Anyway, i just be myself, even tho some of my friends call me Bengali. Some of them asked me what races I'm, but I'm telling them I'm Malaysian that's all. I told my kids the same thing too, we are Malaysian doesn't matter what races are we and I'm proud to be Malaysian too. Don't bother what people think what races we are, but just concentrate on our self as individual. Be as what we want to be. Appreciate what we has right now, and Thank God what we have. That's the most i think.

Answer 7

I believe almost everyone has a background of different races, even before globalization has been there if you'd trace the history of every people. in the end, the race of the country where you grew up will prevail.
i am from Philippines, and our country is a melting pot of races.. Spaniards have conquered our country for more than 300 years! the result --- most of Filipinos look like real mestizas and mestizos..the reason -- most Filipinos are of Spanish decent....
I myself is also a product of 2 foreign races--my father's parents are half foreigners who grew up in the Philippines. My grandmom is half Spanish while my grandfather is half-Chinese. But their racial differences didn't keep them from loving each other. my grandmom died 3 years ago and until now my grandfther misses her so much..

Answer 8

We're all in one race, the human race. Everyone who hasn't learned, needs to learn that you have to love yourself first. Until your comfortable with who you are, then you can move on and not let a lot of negative instances bother you. You are who you are and be very proud of that. People who can't love and respect themselves, become frustrated and angry, and that's where a lot of hate comes from in this world. If more people concentrated on the positives....well, they wouldn't have time for the negatives. Keep your head up and stand proud because you're not alone.

Answer 9

First off, I find it very positive. I think the most attractive people in the world have blended charasteristics. Halle Berry is gorgeous and seems mulatto. Catherine Bell is another mixed blood gorgeous babe. Having mixed races evident is very in these days.

I just hope the day will come when everyone realizes how insignificant this all is compared to who you are as a person. In my city (Ottawa) this seems to be the case and my teenage friends have friends of all races and mixes.

Answer 10

I see one race, the human race and I don't think about mixed races at all....but since you are forcing me to...

I am all for it. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I think I can find more positives from it than negatives.

I married somebody of a different race and my parents were of different races (by your definition of race). I also love how in Islam we are to know one another and not one group is better than the other. I think if you limit yourself to somebody from one group and mention it to your children you will be fostering ideas of "We are better than you"........which will be horribly sad.

I don't think however that looking for somebody from a particular culture is a bad thing if you don't limit yourself 100% and you are doing it out of admiration for that group and similar ideals...morals...goals...all the things you should look for in a partner.
