Interracial Marriages?

Question

How many of you are in an Interracial Marriage, and what are some of the problems you face.

I'm in and interracial marriage myself and my husband and I haven't really come across anything really negative yet, when been married for a year and a half now, but we been together for four and a half. When we lived in his home town, a very small town, we would get looks but no one would come up to us and be rude, just the looks.

Answer 1

My honey is West Bengali Indian American (he was born in Wisconsin and his parents are from India) and I am Caucasian. We dont really run into many problems except for when other Indians see us. I get nasty looks from them, mainly the women. I asked my boyfriend's father why I get so many nasty looks, and he said that it was because Indians are a very cultural people and that they dont agree with Indians dating outside their race. Random Indian people will come up and talk to my boyfriend and either treat me like im a leper or like Im not even there!

Race does not matter...I have learned to shrug off the nasty looks, and the ignorance of others. Just be happy in your relationship...I know I am!

Answer 2

Again society has labeled another one, it is
intercultural , when two people get married and
are from different ethnicity background. I am from
Europe and my wife is from Panama and the only
problems we had was when we lived in the United
States as some of the people did not like the fact
that we spoke english and spanish and Romanian,
My wife learned my language and me hers and
we both learned the english language, and that
is why we could care less of what people labe it
or call it, or stare at it as we speak our own
language, the english language and each others
language. We have been married over 20 yrs and
our grown twin girls also speak the various lan.
guages. Intercultural marriages are unique in that
so much more can be obtained by different
cultures.

Answer 3

I am in an interracial marriage, the only problem I run into is my husband sitting with his friends speaking his own language and leaving me out of the conversations. I can understand SOME THINGS, but not enough to know what's going on.

AND I hate eating rice for THanksgiving and Christmas LOL!!!!!!!

Answer 4

I am white and my hubby of almost 11 yrs is Arabic and we have a beautiful 3 yr old little girl....not really any problems until 9/11 even though he was raised here in the US since he was 12 and in Bermuda all his life....but it has died down.....my daughter does not look white at all maybe a lighter skin tone than my hubby. He has adapted more to my culture than anything and of course living in south Florida helps! But do not let it get to you, times are changing and those who do not like can go suck an egg!

Answer 5

truth study (and that's especially retarded, too) the oh-holy Bible that God himself wrote (correction: God did not write the Bible. guy did and guy kept writing and re-writing and writing, you get the point) that marriage between a guy and guy/ lady and female isn't holy and may be looked down upon because sorry to say this, yet religous anybody is retarded. So, they examine the oh-so holy e book of guy and shame those who love one yet another. no longer to educate, a rumor spread awhile in the past stating that if 2 gays advance a baby that's risky and the baby will change into gay. incorrect lower back, dumb society. Scientists performed a study, and positioned that you understand you're gay once you're born and also you do not advance to change into gay. that's some thing with the pregnant moms and their hormones. no man or woman might want to EVER discriminize antagonistic to a special sexuality or race. it is against the law and also you would possibly want to be embarrassed about your self. anybody has the right to happiness and love. in case you do not prefer to ensure male on male action or vice versa, seem any opposite direction. yet basically undergo in innovations, anybody is HUMAN.

Answer 6

I have been with my husband for a little over 3 years. We have got looks but we haven't had to many rude comment. We haven't had any issues having to do with culture or our family background. So far everything has been good for us.

edit: I forgot to add that I am white and my husband is half black and half hispanic

Answer 7

I am an African American male and I was married to a Caucasian woman for 18 years. We met in 1984 in a small town and beleive me it was tough at times. If it is true love you will just laugh at all the haters. I must say now, though, that I will only exlusively date African Americans. Go figure.

Answer 8

I think now days it doesn't matter if you are married to someone outside of your race. Everything seems to be a mash of cultures anyways. I have been married to an African for almost 2 years (i am American Caucasian and he is from east Africa) and it hasn't been that big of a deal that our skin tones are different. Neither my family or all his family from Africa seem to mind...The only trouble we seem to run into is the cultural differences from Africa to America. I have dated African Americans before and never had any cultural issues, because they were the same nationality as me obviously. I think that the fact that my husband and I are from different countries (not to mention continents) is what makes understanding each other sometimes difficult, not the fact that hes black and im white...AND i must say the biggest problem we've faced is the crap load of INS paperwork we had to file and will have to refile!

Answer 9

I'm caucasian and my hubby is hispanic (uruguayan) we dont get any looks or rude comments or anything. only thing i have a problem with is when he sits around talking to all his friends in spanish (they can all speak english by the way) and I cant join in the convo or anything. when i'm not there I WANT him to speak spanish! but when i'm there i think it is rude bc they all know english! they could at least speak it so i can join in! Also the kissing on the cheek thing used to bother me. not when he did it to other hispanic ppl who understood the culture but he thaught that he could do it to white girls too.....and they took it wrong! all the white women had a crush on my man! rrrrrggggg, back off he's mine! he he he. other than that we are great! just had our first litte girl Katia. She's almost six months!

Answer 10

No one has ever said anything to me about being with someone of a different race. If they did, I would question their nationality and tell them they're just like Heinz 57, a little bit of everything and all mixed up.
