So, what's your take on this subject? I don't care about people's ethnic backgrounds, the only thing I want is someone who I can get along with, have a great time with and who will treat me with respect. Personally, all my relationships have been with guys belonging to different races. I am latina and have always dated white guys but right now I'm dating an Asian man. We belong to a very diverse circle of friends and for some reason a few of them are not too happy about our relationship (especially the latin ones), If you are in an interracial relationship what are some of the obstacles that you've had to overcome? What do your parents or rest of the family feel about it? If you've never dated anyone outside of your ethnic background/race or whatever you wanna call it, would you do it?

I truely think that everyone should date/marry within their own race. If God wanted us to all be one color and have all the same features He would have made us that way in the beginning. oops I guess He did, didn't He? That is, until the Tower of Babel!

People should date whomever they are attracted to who wants to date them. Although most of my single life I considered myself open to dating outside my race/ethnicity (I'm a while American) I had never done so until this past year...I got involved with a black guy and really liked him a lot. Alas, things didn't progress very far but who knows what the future holds?
Bottom line, I don't understand anyone's issue with who someone else dates or marries. It's an individual preference...after all, we're all part of the same race (the human race).

i find men of all different races, ages, colors attractive. I dont have a preference. I guess a lot of it is how were raised, or how much you let others influence how you feel. i believe as long as the person you are with treats you good and you both are happy....who cares??!!! My parents had a hard time with my first boyfriend because he was african american, but they eventually got over it. I wasnt raised to be racist, i think they were more concerned about "society". (that was aver 10 yrs ago) I also think bi-racial people are some of the most beautiful in the world!

I'm glad you asked so I didunt have to. In this rough and rugged day and age, anything goes. I really believe love knows NO bounds. But People are a selfish and deviant lot, all to often interracial dating is 'trophy seeking' fronting a "lookwhatIcando" mentality. It muddies the waters of love. Dont fret Shoog, the world will be Mulato someday.

I personally feel like you do. Race doesn't matter. However, I have only dated white guys to date, but if I were on the market and a guy of another race asked me out, I would definitely consider it.

All the platitudes about interracial relationships are warm and fuzzy, but it's a cold, prickly world out there. You have to do what you think is best for you, but don't expect everyone else to agree, and be ready for the consequences, good or bad, of your decision.

well i have dated out side of my ethnic bakcground but people didn't really judge us (we were young at time). But my sister is married to a guy who is white and she is black and they have a baby together people give them weird looks and people are always asking me sister what her daughter is mixed with. His mother didn't like that fact that my sister was black but the rest of his family loves us and we love them.

i am Mexican, black and Puerto Rican and i date a lot of white men i think its because that's what I'm attracted to but growing up there was always questions of whether i was Latino or black and when i started dating i got some negative remarks from my black friends, usually guys, about me dating white men or acting too white I've learned that it doesn't matter what they say they don't live your life, you do

yeah i would date outside my race. Whoever makes me happy, someone i can trust, and they feel the same way i do...i would be with them you know? But some people dont see it the way i see it.

your the one that needs to be happy...... who care what race they are.... and shame on your family if they think that way. I am white and my son is married to a black girl... as long as he is happy i am happy!
