there is nothing wrong with dating someone different from ur race. Im dating an East Indian guy and totally in love. My parents dont agree in interracial dating so its kind of hard for me. I have to keep it a secret about my boyfriend for now. But eventually i will tell them and they will have to accept it whether they like it or not. Color of ur skin shouldnt matter and it also doesnt reveal how u really are inside. Every race is equally great, so as long as ur cool inside then its all good... if ur still stuck in the past and believe that dating outside ur race is a "no no" then its about time u start opening up ur eyes...
I don't have a problem with it !! I'm black and dating someone hispanic ....when we went out people were acting weird by staring at us, girls were rolling their eyes at me and him, he's a cutie so I guess that kinda played a part of it...anyway these black guys went as far as making noises in public i felt so embarrassed and felt like I didn't belong, but I got over it and care about him a lot and would not let any childish or ignorant behavior affect my feelings for him
I think that interracial dating is a very good thing. Someone said earlier that it is a lesson in tolerance, but I disagree. Tolerance is allowing or forebearing something that one disapproves of. Acceptance is consent and agreement. I would much rather have someone accept me for being black than tolerate me.
In an interracial relationship both parties are showing that they accept the other person, differences and all.
In actuality, the majority of American citizens today came from "interracial" backgrounds. I know that I am both African-American and Native American. I have friends that are Irish, Swedish, and German. One of my friend's relatives recently married a Greek. All of these are different backgrounds, different races, different cultures.
It's a shame that in America interreacial dating is an issue at all, when the majority of us came to this nation on a boat. We're all American. We're all human. We have thoughts and emotions, flesh and blood, dreams and goals. So why waste so much time trying to tolerate each other when we should be accepting?
I know that the diluting of the races seems to be a big problem for some people, but is your race so pure anyway? If your family has been in America for a long time, I doubt that noone in your family has ever married someone from another country.
Heritage and culture come from adults passing on what they know to the next generation. Is it so bad for a child to grow up with more than one heritage? I think not. A child with multiple backgrounds is more likely to understand the world around them. The wolrd is rich with culture and history. Why not share?
Hey everyone! I see nothing wrong with inerracial dating. As of right now, I am madly in love with someone who's chinese, and none of my other friends or even my parents see anything wrong with it! It's great! I think all cultures should be able to interact! Why do some people have to be against some people just because of their color, or their race? It's just stupid!
In my opinion, the articles above spoke for or against race-mixing. What I believe both articles spoke for is race-mixing for the sake of race mixing.
To quote: .
quote:"A kid whose parents are of different races has or should have a lot of positive features if raised properly. He would be more tolerant to people of different races. He would have a very rich culture."
I do not deny that this is true, but it suggests race-mixing for the sake of having a child of more than one culture. It suggests dating someone of a different race BECAUSE they are of a different race*.
Personally, I believe that love is the most important thing in any relationship, and love should come before race.
*Note: I do not know if the author was intending this point. I speak from what I gathered from the information given in the article.
Hi I just wanted to say something really quick. i don't know why some people think it's weird being with different raices. We are all the same. I am Mexican and have found Chinese, black and white friends. we all share something in common not what's in the outside but what's in the inside. i would plan on marrying someone from my diferent raice someday because I see it as something good not something to be scared or worried about.
i am completely for interracial dating. my boyfriend is white and i'm mixed. the color of someone's skin is the last thing i see when i look @ them. it doesn't matter what's on the outside. i mean, @ the end of the day, aren't we all people? there's no reason for separation of colors. people who are against interracial relationships should re-analyze their thinking because there's nothing wrong with it.
You know what? Love is blind. Love can happen at time, any place, with anyone, male or female, white, black, or whatever. If you really love someone, you are going to be with them, no matter what anybody says- you shouldn't care. and if a girl from Chinese decent and a girl from white and black decent want to be together, I'd let them be. Frankly, I'd give them the best of luck and let them be.
I love inter racial dating. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't be here. I am Black, White, Indian and Jamacian. I don't like it when people think that Inter racial dating is wrong. They think that it's the only way to keep the blood line clean. But, eventally that would end because if you stay in your race that would end up being your family. Then you would have to mate with your family. Inter racial dating is better. You get to make different friends of different races. You will be able to get a better understanding of the world. Plus you won't have to mate with you family.
I have no problem with interracial dating. My parents do though. That's why I have never iterracially dated. But I think it's perfectly normal. My parents say that it causes problems for the children whose parents are different races and I can see that, but I still think that its fine to date interracially.
One of the most controversial topics in our society is the dating and mating of people from different ethnic backgrounds. It is something that I felt should be addressed, as I have seen several questions to Teen Advice Online concerning this dilemma. I will keep this very brief, because I think it is very simple. Basically, I believe that love should overcome all boundaries - including racial differences. However, I think it is very important to ask some very important questions because love requires commitment. I think it's important to sit down with your potential partner and discuss this commitment very openly. Here's a checklist to test your level of commitment to making an inter-racial relationship work.
Are we both willing to sit down together and discuss this with our families, working out any concerns or problems they have with our dating each other? Are we both willing to be strong together to resist the social problems generated by people who lack understanding and/or display racism? Are we both willing to work together to overcome the odds and make a strong, solid relationship that will stand the test of time? Are we both willing to accept the difficulties our children would be faced with if our relationship led us to that point? The thing I am trying to stress is that, like any other situation, you should consider the impact upon other people. How will it impact your family? Your friends? Your future children? Don't take this decision lightly. It is likely to impact a lot of people. When you make the decision to move forward, follow through with your commitment.
Talk with your families openly and honestly. Recruit and establish the support of everyone close to you. Take the time to let your relationship grow into something simple and beautiful. Don't let anyone or anything steal your joy. Keep things simple. Be devoted to one another and committed to the relationship.
I feel that it shouldn't matter anymore. Being in this day in age... I mean It was happening before we were even thought of! Anyway it totally shouldn't matter what race or skin tone you are, a relationship or just dating is obviously based on physical attraction FIRST, but wanting to date that person or have a relationship wit hth ta person means that you wanna get to know that person inside, as well as out. You want to know their opinions on important things like politics or w/e ya know!! It's also a way to get to know about " the other side of the rainbow " you'll get what i mean if you need to think about it. Every human from every race has something to offer anyone wether it be relationship-wise or in a friendship. There is something to learn from everyone, from every race, social rank, age, and skin tone! I'm sorry to get so deep into this and sound like I'm lecturing, but I hope SOMEONE feels the same way!
Actually, I like alot of guys out of my race. I think there is nothing worng at all with interracial dating. As a matter of fact, my grandfather who is black is married to my grandmom who's white and my mom is dating someone white. I haven't been raised in a way that made race important.So I guess you could say,I don't have a problem with it at all. And you have to admit that skaters......are hot!!
I think interracial dating is awesome! Why wouldn't someone date another person only because they have different skin tones? It's preposterous! To those ignorant people who think dating someone out of your race wouldn't work out because you'd be "too different," have you ever been in an interracial relationship, or have you know anyone in one? The whole thing about how the two cultures would clash is so stupid! I know from personal experience; I'm biracial (for those who are ignorant, that means I am the product of an interracial relationship). My parents have been happily married for over 20 years regardless of the fact that they are different races. And the whole "issue" about "what would it do to the kids?"....I'm perfectly happy being biracial! There's nothing wrong with it! Many people are! There's a little thing called diversity, and it's completely awesome! In 20 years (or something along those lines) everyone is going to be a least two different races, so you might as well get used to it now. And if you think about it, we all fall into some shade in the brown color spectrum. Plus, all cultures are basically the same...food, music, family, religion, dress, etc. It should not matter if they're celebrated differently. Diversity is something to be celebrated, not discouraged!
I think interacial dating is just fine. I really don't get why people make a big deal out of it. I have never dated someone of a different race because my family just wouldn't have that. It really sucks cuz just about everyone in my family is a racist, with the exception of me. I just don't get it...
I don't understand why people think it's so wrong to date someone outside of your race. The color of your skin has nothing to do with the person you are. You could meet someone that's not your race and fall totally in love with them, but not want to carry on with the relationship (or even start one)because their skin color is different than yours. I'm sad to say that my mom and most of my family would be aginst that, and it p*sses me off.
People should date whoever they want to date. On my mothers side her mother married a man that wasn't Catholic. Some people keep thinking interracial dating is the difference in the religons or the color of their skin. We're all the same, we're just in different colors. Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, etc. Should date whoever they want no matter what the religon is or the color, its not the color of the skin that make a lot of people marry but diiferent things. Anybody can date whoever they want.
I am amazed how in this day and age interracial dating is still seen as a taboo. I don't understand why anyone would think diversity is a bad thing. I have been born and raised in New York City and feel very lucky because I have been exposed to so much diversity. Interracial dating is something that is so simple in its own that it is unbelievble how it has become such a complex controversial issue. As to children being affected by it I think that yes children will be affected but in a good way. They will learn tolerence at an early age and will learn to accept others as well as accepting themselves. If we allow ourselves to open up to other cultures and races we could grow as people and actually try to make a small change in this world.
