I love women of all colors and races. I have dated several and right now my favorites are the asian women and the cocoa colored women. They are just hot and sexy as never mind! Big Grin

I think that if you find someone who respects and loves you for who and what you are then race shouldn't matter. Why should anyone stay with someone who mistreats them just because they are the same race? If children grow up in a loving environment, they will learn how to love and respect others. Smile

Me and my family have no problem what so ever in me dating someone out of our own race. My father and mother even encouraged me to do so. I haven't dated anyone of my own race yet, but then again I haven't even started dating yet at all. I have had a few crushes on people who weren't of my race, and let me tell you, they were cute...lol. Well take care you all. Sweet day.

It's a beautiful thing. By the time most of us have kids, our country will have completely evolved from the time that our parents were young. The children who are the products of these interracial relationships will live normal, healthy lives as long as we, the future, have already been educated in tolerance and diversity. Children are taught hate and as long as we teach our children to be open-minded and to love one another, the bi-racial children will have absolutely nothing to worry about. More than that, the cultures will not be lost, as some people say. It is each parent's responsibility to educate their child on their culture. As long as everyone takes this responsibility seriously, our children will be extremely well-rounded people.

Well, When a person is biRacial, it a great oppurtunity to make a new culture for themselves(by mixing the cultures they have from their parents) and make new history from the great history that already happened. "Mixing races" is not diluted either. I think when you are biRacial it brings you to the conclusion that you are not allowed to be a racist person (Event though their is a possibility you can be biRacial and a racists) . And you are not able to be a racist person because you are those different race/ cultures mixed together and have both histories from whatever you are whether it's Asian, European, African, Hispanic, etc. Thanks, for hearing tho what I have to say!

Well I am a black girl and I am in a very good relationship w/ a white guy and he is everything I could ever want in a guy and I am in love with him. The fact that he's white or that I'm black isn't an issue; the only thing that matters is that we're in love. If we ever get married and have kids, i don't think it would be such a big deal. It's not the fact that people mix races why mixed kids aren't accepted; it's all about the state of mind people are in so if we try to educate others as well as ourselves the world would be a lot better. And remember... love sees no color; just the person and no matter who you date, marry, or whatever, don't worry about what others think; it's just mere ignorance so there is no use in feeding into it.

I don't really see anyone who has a problem with it, which is a great thing! Why should anyone have a prob, ya know? In this day and age, it's way less PC to NOT be tolerant than otherwise. Seeing interracial dating or people doesn't even phase me, it seems so normal. Like Lucky, I'm half n half-- Chinese and French. I maintain my culture (Chinese, since my French half is AWOL due to a divorce)in addition to American culture (it IS a culture!), and plan to continue to do so for my kids (Lord willing I have some later on in life!). The only TINY problem I have RARELY with being biracial is I DO find it hard to identify sometimes, like do I consider myself white or Chinese? I usually just decide that I'm me. And unfortunately, the only people who ever seem slightly weird about it are my fellow Asians. In my experience (not necessarily anyone else's!), it's usually Asian people who treat me different. It's all love, baby! Wink

How can nebody not accept interracial dating. Im mixed, Im white and black, I turned out perfectly fine.Im going to college and have my head on strait. I was never confused. I think of it as having the best of both worlds. Race is only problems for racists. Race doesnt change who i am. I dont think race should have anything, especially love. You would not date the most awesome person you ever met because they were a different shade...thats ludacris!

I know the last post was five days ago, but in my present situation I couldn't help but respond to this topic.... I'm white, and I'm in a great relationship (the first real one I've ever been in) with a wonderful girl. The fact that she is African-American makes no difference to me, and although we still get the occasional stare, we're very happy together. Interracial dating should be a non-issue, and I hope that we can someday get to the point where it actually is. I certainly don't feel that we should all become the same and sacrifice our heritages, but at the same time, we shouldn't label relationships on the basis of race.

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT I WOULD DATE SOMEONE FROM A DIFFERENT RACE( I DON'T THINK MY MOM WOULD LIKE IT VERY MUCH BUT IF I REALLY LIKE HIM, IT SHOULDN'T MATTER RIGHT?

IT SHOULDN'T MATTER, WHAT COLOR THEY ARE OR WHAT BACKGROUND THEY CAME FROM. ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS IS WHAT IS INSIDE OF THAT PRESON. LIKE EVERYONE ELSE SAYS, "WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS AND NEED TO BE TREATED FAIRLY IN EVERYTHING INCLUDING DATING SOMEONE FROM A DIFFERENT RACE"
BUT SOMETIMES IS REALLY HARD WHEN THEY BELIEVE DIFFERENT THINGS AS YOU, SO WHAT DO YOU DO THEN?

I NEVER HAD A BOYFIREND FROM A DIFFERNET RACE, WELL MATTER OF FACT I NEVER HAD A BOYFRIEND SO I DON'T KNOW REALLY WHAT I'LL DO.
WELL ßÝ€ ÇìÑÐÅ ­ HAVE A NICE DAY  Wink

Very cool.

"Halfbreeds" like you turn out to be some of the most beautiful people in the world.

Frankly, I'm jealous.

I'm fine with interracial dating. I mean, as long as you like each other and are comfortable with each other, it's totally ok.
When I was in London, I saw this black guy dating this white girl. He was really funny, polite etc and even the girl's parents who were present seemed happy for her.
As for "half-breeds", it depends on society. The children will become tolerant of different races and cultures. Some people may find it offensive to their culture, but it all depends on how the people around treat them.

i think that interacial dating is fine . i think that it is cool for someone to step out of the box and be different. i actually interacial dating is attractive and proves that u don care what people think of you. most black kids judge people and yes i am black. black kids or any kids judge for what u do and who u are. but i don care what people think me cause they don give me no money and y'know just get over it .

I think that i would date a guy of a different race. I know i like many guys who are of a different race. the only thing is that, it would be kind of weird. not to be racist or prejudice, but i know the kind of things im into, and i know that some guys i like like other things. it would be complicated espicially if I act totally different from the guy that i like. many times ive thought about it, and the question is still the same. what if i meet his family, and i act nothing like they do. what if they find me weird or soemthing? I dont know. i might theink they are strange. and what about his friends. maybe im being self conscious about this but will his friends like me for me or will they not?

Dating some one outside of your race is in no way "wrong", but many feel like it may not be best...As an african american the issue of inter-racial dating is rather sensitive...If a black man were to bring home some one of another race that was not white--a rice of color as its commonly put(like a latino or indonesian or somethin)--then they may get by with little (but probably some) flack....but if that same brother were to bring home a white girl it would be a whole nother story....to marry a woman of a race that has been the historical 'bain' to your peoples existance is not, shall we say very tactifull when there are plenty of black sistas around.
It seems to me that (Some) Black woman look at a brother with a white girl as not only 'wrong', but as a personal insult....and (some) black people look at a black man with a white woman (& black woman with a white man) as a disregard for our ancestory and history......
(I am not sure if their right wrong but its worth thinking about)

.......What if everyone were to marry someone of another race (another culture) eventually wouldn't allot of beutifully cultures be lost or very dilluted???

I find woman of many different races attractive as well as my own...but I also know its important to perputuate your own history and culture.... I guess I'm rather confused!!! confused


Any thoughts anybody????
