It is not fair to judge people on their race, religion, or anything else. We live in America, the great melting pot of the world. I am Swedish, Polish, and English. This is a result of interracial marriage. Most people that live in America come from more than one ethnic background. Just because someone is a different color doesn't make them any different. An African American dating someone who is Irish is the same as someone who is english dating someone who is Swedish. If it is love than nothing else should matter. Who are we to judge each other? If you stay within your boundries of race, and religion you will never be exposed to everyone, and everything that is out there. It is time that everyone opens up, and allows for the freedom that every person should be granted!!!!!:D

i have absolutely no problem with interracial dating. i would date someone of any race if he was right for me. i discussed this with my parents before and my mom says she would have no problem but my dad said it might make him a bit uncomfortable. i know the rest of my family would unfortunately not be cool with it. they care a lot about appearances and that is one thing that would bug them. i can't stand it and i hope they might change if i did date someone of another race.

Personally, I wouldn't have the time to make sure that I'm with someone exactly as I am. People in the world are TOO diverse for anyone to nit-pick about what's good or what's bad. What's good is LOVE and that's all there is in the picture. I believe that's why we're all different, to see if we can understand things when it comes down to diversity and love.

i'm black living in an all white community, so that means i kinda have to date outside of my race. I have never dated anyone of my race so i guess that means i agree with it.
peace out.

I have no problem with dating out of your race. My mom doesn't but my dad does. But if i loved a man with a diff. race i wouldn't stop loving him because he wasn't white. I mean its stupid. If we ever want this world to be unified then we need to look past the race, religion and etc.

I don't belive that color matters I mean if you love someone thats a different color or a different religion than you then it shouldn't matter. And thats all there is to it. we are all humans nothing changes that especialy color.

Ok, first of all, why can't humans see others as humans. I am a proud, happy, and overjoyed biracial child and I see no problem because not only do I live in both "colors" but because I am able to see in my eyes that a human is a human and nothing more. Color is what you see through your eyes, not how you judge what's going through them. It makes me mad how people can have a problem with it. I can't explain everything about everyone, but I don't see why people have to label a person by a color. It shouldn't matter if a person is purple, blue, orange, or green. They breathe the same air, learn the same words, and see the same colors. So what if a opposite colored human beings are seen together. It's the same thing as wearing different colored clothes and you see no one talking about someone wearing a pair of brown pants with a pink shirt. You might be thinking what is this girl talking about, but point blank the person wearing those clothes are seen by others as wearing different colors, but it's alright, as long as they match. Well, why can't that person be seen with a person of another color, if they match personality and feelings wise. Why does someone choose to talk about that? Maybe it's because they find it interesting, or maybe it's because it makes them mad, but point blank deep down behind anyone's thoughts, they can't accept another human being because they just don't feel like it. Color is just a word. It describes how you see the world in your eyes and it shouldn't describe how you see a person. Really, the word color makes no sense to use when talking about a person because feelings and personality are clear. Unable to be seen and unable to be felt if you block them out. So my question to everyone reading this is when talking about people, what is color. It shouldn't matter if you talk to other human beings, people breathing the air just like you do. That's what we are all here on this earth for. It just makes no sense to see it any other way.

You just discriminate agains everybody. Religion has nothing to do with race I would just like to state that too. I do beleive that you could have a relationship with someone of a different religion or race and still have a decent relationship. People today dont like to think that a relationship will take work and understanding. We grow up watching movies that show true love that jaut happens without any work. I know my family would not like it if I dated out of my race and once I turned down a guy because he was black. Since then he has moved away but now I regret saying no because I did like him. Since then my thoughts are I dont care what my family thinks because trhey will probably get over it.
When you like someone or love someone race doesnt matter, you can not help that you love them. You must apparently have something in common.
That is my view,

ANd just a personal note to bush supporter...
You always start your veiws with "I'm not...but" You say you dont have a problem for something but then yeah you do. Yeah I will probably marry someone my own race but I dont condem people or exclude the option. You don't even leave an open mind about anything.
It seems like you think that
everyone should be just like you.
I think that would be pretty boring.

I know for a fact that my dad would be wary if I wanted to to date outside my race. but he'd be wary if I wanted to date INSIDE my race too, so forget that. but really, what does race have to do with anything? I can understand what the person is talking about with different religions marrying, but it's not the subject here. One would think race wouldn't be an issue anymore but apparently it is. I think it's lunacy.

I think if so many people are for not being prejudites agains different races then why is it wrong to date other races. My family wouldn't care because a fourth of me is Hispanic and the rest is German, French-Canadain Indian, Scotish, and some other ones. null

I am a sixteen year old white female. I have dated outside my race and I would definately do it again! If we want to advance as a world and promote world peace, then we all need to see past color, or religion. These are unimportant compared to the person inside. I don't think there are many people in this world today who would turn down someone they really liked or loved because of color. WE need to teach the children the values of being human, the most important being tolerance.

I think its ok to date out side race. I mean what the problem? We all came from the same creator, we all have feelings just like the next person, and we all bleed red blood. Why does color matter? I mean we don't judge animals and the things that are in our very house because of there color do we? I don't think so. I know for a fact a person want go up to a dog and go i don't want that dog because its black or because its white i mean come on people. I two people that are different races and they are married. She's white and he's african American. And they have two childeren, and they act the same feel the same about somthings and do the samethings just like anyone else and you know what they don't let it get to them that there skins different. You know why? Because there both human and thats all that matters. So you need to think about what i said if your reading this and your one of those who don't think its right. Because if you like it or not its right.

I have no problems with intreracial dating, although my parents do. I believe that judging someone only by their skin color or ethnic background and not by the content of their character is just wrong. I have dated someone out of my race once, and he was one of the sweetest people I've ever met in my life.

I would definitely date outside of my race. To me color is nothing and it means nothing. I am a white female whose mom is white and she married a blsck man when i was about five. And that man I love better than my real father. he has been there for me and is great. Just because someone is different from you doesn't mean that they are less of a person or a better person. Everyone is the same whether people tend to believe that or not. So all of you out there that are scared to go with someone is a different race don't be. Stand for what is right and date who ever you want.

I'm totally for it because i'm korean and i would hate if i only went out with koreans... i mean (no offence to azns out there) but the hott asians are in there own country but hey who am i to say? but i hate racist people i mean its the personallity is what matters.

The color of a person's skin has never been an issue to me. If this person is someone I like, then I don't see how race should matter. A person's skin, to some people, is a crucial factor in how they feel about them. I honestly don't understand that. How can someone not date a person because of the color of their skin, or their religion, or anything else that just isn't their business in the first place??

I don't know if I would date anyone out side my race b\c all my family doesn't believe in it and thats what I have grown up to know. If I did its not that they would stop loving me or ne thing but they wouldn't b happy at all what so ever and who knows how they would treat me or my companion. Im not really attracted to many ppl outside my race ne way so maybe it won't ever b a problem but im still young so it could happen one day.

I am bi-racial so dating outside of my race can go either way. I think that our generation needs to begin focusing on what a person is instead of what color. We are the first generation to be able to change old ideas and by dating a person for what he or she is instead of what color is the first step to changing attitudes toward racism.

Dating is just dating. it's not like you're going to marry that person. and even if you are, race shouldn't matter. lets say u meet a PERFECT person. like that person totally makes u realize what all the love songs are about, and believe in the whole soulmate thing. that person has an AMAZING personality, great body, totally cool sense of humour, and is PERFECT for you. Are you just gonna be like "no, i'm not going to date you cuz you are from a different race"? Race is actually a really good thing. i mean, u can be more culturally aware if you are into interracial dating. u can know about the different customs and stuff of the different races. so i say "heck ya, interracial dating is way ok." maybe ur parents might have a problem with it cuz it wasn't done in "their time", but HELLO?! it's 2002. it's not the 60s and 70s anymore. and anyways, your parents are not the ones dating that amazingly perfect person. you are. So just date whoever you want to. Love transcends all barriers. that includes race.

What a funny question! I am Black African (Shona), Acadian, White British, and Native American. How could I not date out of my race, what is my race anyway? Race is not even real, there is not such thing! It was something just made up, people do not belong to different races. If we did I would not be alive because it would have been genetically impossible for me to exist if there were. I am happy I have a good life I am an honor students, I am not psychologically maladjusted as some people would make you think multiracial people are. I am quadcultiural, trilingual, and like myself just how I am! It is only too bad more people are not like me!
