I don't know if this has been discussed before. But what are your views on dating people outside of your race?

For me, it's no problem. I shocked my family a lot. But they got used to it. Racism isn't a problem with most of my family. My older family members are a little huffy about it but they have their reasons. My father is actually the only person I think would be against it. Although he's in an interracial relationship himself. So how about it? Does anyone do it? Has anyone done it? Can I get a witness?

well...im hispanic and dated white guys, black guys, and of course beaners!!!..lol
but the only person in my family who's kind of racist is my dad, he doesn't really like blacks
and also my cousins but like im going to ask for their permission to date someone. And my boy friend is mixed!!..he's a beaner (Mexican/Hispanic) and white..I really love him
and im really happy.
Color honestly doesn't matter to me, if I like the guy I'll give him a chance.

If you limit yourself, you wont be as happy as you could be.

Color has nothing to do with love. Love is love, and we are all the same species, human. Besides, the way I see it, outside of family, everyone is a different race (and actually, outside of real siblings), because there is no one you will find someone else on this earth who has the same exact races in them as you (ie: I have Greek, all of Europe, German, Jewish, Czech, two types of Indian, Polish, African, maybe even Cuban in me. And heck knows what else. I have a little of everything in me). Doesn't that mean I'm a different race from the person right down the road from me, who is also white, but not those races?

Exactly. Color has nothing to do with love. And black/white children are so beautiful.

(Btw, I don't take saying black and white racist, it's true. Besides, I have ancestors from Africa, and my black friend doesn't, so saying African American can be politically incorrect)

Well, its personal choice but I totally agree with you. I also don't care about skin color. I already using online dating UK site and also came across few singles outside my race. I think we just need a relationship in which we feel comfortable.

I am totally alright with interracial dating, but I assume my parents are skeptical about it. My parents originally came from East Africa and they would like to keep the 'Somali' blood true. Since that is what have been taught they think its a 'social norm'. It is back in Africa but things have changed overall! We live in Canada now and everywhere I look I see a mixed family. Also my family comes from an Italian ancestor so its 'okay' if I marry an Italian or a Somali but something would go wrong if I marry a Asian or an African-American.

is this the 90s?? I mean geezz interracial dating is pretty accepted in society nowadays.

Not everywhere. It gets better with each generation, but there are still places where it is frowned down upon. (I don't have specific names of places, sorry).

So what does that mean?

LOVE IS LOVE.
the end.
God wnats us to marry someone we love. not someone who looks like us. if you show me where in the bible it says "MARRY SOMEONE WHO LOOKS LIKE YOU" i will give you all the money in my savings.
we fall in love with who people are on the inside. not what they look like. next time you hug a person that isnt of your race, close your eyes. See if they feel like their race. next, hug someone of your race, and see what race THEY feel like to you.
my parents dont believe in interracial relationships because of the society they grew up in it.
interracial relationships are OK.
just get over it.
so what, they dont look liek you?
you wanna marry someone who looks like you?
MARRY A FAMILY MEMBER.
then fer sure, you'll have a life mate that looks liek you!

I'm not against interracial dating. Its normal thing. As per my point of view there are many things which are more important than skin color of any person like personality, his/her nature, from which background person is coming, etc..

Even one my friends was using internet dating and he came in touch with few singles . Finally he found his match who is outside of his race. In the beginning there were some problem in his family but finally things are workout

i have nothing against it. it's not wrong at all to me. you find someone who you loves that loves you and you can't date them because they're black or white or whatever?? that's what's wrong. you should be able to date whoever treats you right and cares about you. you should date who you love.

I'm all for interracial relationships. I myself was dating a Navajo girl about a year ago. I'm glad it ended. Not because of her race but because of her personality.
FYI I'm a white male.

Interracial Dating... Hmm. Why people are stupid enough to think that this is a bad thing, I cannot say. But I CAN say that my entire family "breeds" with people of different ethnicities. But we don't talk about it because we are all people! People with different likes and dislikes! However different my family may look when we are together, does not matter. Because we are family in the end. Bound together by blood, marriage and love.

So one can conclude that I don't care. Not because if I didn't care I would be considered an outcast in the unspoken ways of my family. But because we are all human beings; we may look different on the outside but really, on the inside, we know the difference (hopefully) between what is important, and what really isn't..

There is nothing wrong with interracial dating.The person you are dating is more important than their color.

I dont have a problem with interracial dating. Love has no skin color. I am an African American female thats engaged to a guy who is white.When you fall in love with someone truley, you see pass skin color.

when the usa bought alaska, they assimilated the natives, like they did with the entire usa right? so all the natives here adopted the mentality that whites are better than eskimos. my mothers tribe, the Inupiaq tribe, taught their young girls that they would not be taken cared of if they married a full blooded native, he had to be at least half white to be decent. for this reason my aunt and her highschool sweetheart never married their entire lives because he was full blooded. 7 generations, from my mom and up, were all half inupiaq and half white.

my bro broke that, his dad is hispanic. then me, my dad is black. me and my bother get treated funny by our non intermediate family members on my moms side. either REALLY good cuz they kinda pity us...like when there tryig SO hard not to offend you that they end up doing it anyway, or they just straight out diss you. my personal nickname from some of my cousins is daksibuk, which means black person -_-

but personally, i find interracial marriages and relationships beautiful. in a way it kind of deminishes hate, well, alot of the times. u cant hate your own blood. thats what my family had to learn when me and my brother came along.

well, this topic is facsinating to me. As i am a gril of an interacial family. My mother is whit and my dad is hispanic and has a bit of african american in him. When people look at me they think" oh look theres a white girl" but little do they know that i am not just american i am of many other natinalities. You cnat call some one WHITE becaus that the color you see on their skin. To the person above this repost im am very dissapointed to your response. There was some hatred between two families when my dad and mom married becaus of the diffrent cultutres, but they have overcome that.I think maybe you need to overlook the situation,as i know its your opnion but you might see life diffrent if you think this topic over.

Finally moved to the appropriate forum.
