Eventhough you might be white it does not mean you are from a pure race. I think we all are some kind of mixture of different race, no matter of their race.

Doesn't make any difference to me. I've seen interracial couples get along better than couples of the same race.
Extreme: I laughed so hard at your story! It's utterly ridiculous. Since when is an interracial relationship defined as the difference b/w bringing burritos to work and not bringing them? And why does it matter? I have a friend that is half Mexican and half German. She's fluent in both German and Spanish. Why? Because they embrace both cultures.

No, I don't disagree with interracial couples- to each his own, but I did for the 1st time a few weeks ago, look at a couple with a little disgust because the female was dressed and acted like she was a member of her s.o' race as if she was trying to fit in , instead of being herself and be proud of that... that kind of bothered me.. but it really wasn't any of my concern...

Doesn't bother me at all, think about it, the way cultures are nowadays, most couples are interracial.

Personally, I do disagree. This disagreement has nothing to do with hate. It's simply my own opinion and last I heard we are all still entitled to our own opinions.
It is my thought that once you blend cultures you lose cultures. Like it or not we really are all different. From one race, Culture, Ethnicity or whatever you chose to call it to the next, we are different.
I have a buddy at work who is Mexican born and has a Mexican born wife. He used to bring in a bag of burritos about once or twice a week to share with the entire crew. He left the job for about a year and then got hired back on. After coming back I noticed he didn't bring that bag of burritos anymore. One day I asked him if he was still with his wife. He said no, We got divorced while I was working that other job for the last year but I am living with a girl now. I asked if he was living with a white girl now and he looked shocked and said yes he was how did I know?
I told him I knew because he used to bring in that bag of burritos at least once a week but now after two months he still hasn't so it's obvious that either he is single or not with a Mexican woman.
This brought a somewhat puzzled look so I went on to say that a Mexican born woman would have no problem getting up early once or twice a week to make those burritos for him to take to work and share because that sort of thing is just a part of their culture but a white woman would never do that because it's just not part of their cultural back ground.
He thought for a little bit and then said "You just amaze me man at how you notice these things that are a hundred percent right but so few people ever notice!"
I shared this little work convo to make the point that we really are different and if we all blend together we lose that cultural difference, Thus losing all "Diversity" and blending together to actually make everyone the same. I keep hearing from the diversity embracers that if everyone was the same the world would be a boring place but by interracial mixing we are causing the world to be a boring place by making everyone the same.
Anyone who thinks diversity is the spice of life shouldn't do this to their grand and great grandchildren.

I dont, especially when I and all my friends date interracially. My aunt also married interracially.

Just like same race couples, I hope they're marrying for the right reasons.
I think marrying someone out of your culture, (not race neccesarily but culture) makes it harder for your marriage to be succesful. But it can be done.

For exceptions, I'm OK with. AS a trend, I disagree. One reason. Most black culture is as different from white culture as black is to white.

To each, his or her own, but, I'd never do it myself, I think it's trashy, and I have enough self-respect not to do that.
