    Interaical dating?How do YOU feel?
    Hi everyone its me again! :) All right this question is about Inerracial Dating, is for everyone, I just want to know how people in this world really feel about interracial dating? I'm in one and I don't see why so many people disapprove of it when more and more of the younger generation is mixed with something.Also who do you think disapproves of it more male or female or do you think its about the same? I would really like to hear what people think. Thanks!!

    I don't see anything wrong with it, the only question that has crossed my mind with interracial dating is her family, I mean its an entirely different culture usually so it might be hard to fit into family gatherings

    Ok, Im not racist. And I have no problem with others doing it.

    But, personally. Im just not attracted to different races. It has a lot to do with how I grew up too... A town, that doesn't have a variety of races.

    Even some of my nonwhite friends say they have a hard time dating anyone who isn't white. Its weird.

    Question being essentially: How do *I* feel about interracial dating? I don't see a problem with it... I think this is mainly because I grew up seeing many different races dating each other (I grew up in So. California). I never saw it as "interracial" until I got older and was made aware of what some people referred to it as.

    Peace.

    It is hard take but its very interesting to find how much fun you can have with someone as a friend or lover of a different race. You also can learn a lot about someone from a different culture then you would otherwise.

    It shows that other races can get along. There should be more people dating other races. I have dated black's and asians before (me being white).

    I have tried dating a black man. But he went and spoiled it for me! He wouldn't take no for an answer.. forcing me to kiss him. He was kind of stalkerish.

    NOT SAYING all Black men are the same! Just he went and spoiled me chance to branch out there.

    I say if he don't beat on you and he don't cheat on you it doesn't matter what color he is.
    It is hard to find somebody decent nowadays so if you have to find someone outside of your race to be happy with then it is better than someone that is not going to treat you right but is your same race.

    I have no problem with it and also think that it's great! People are just people and not to be judged by the color of their skin. How they act though, is another matter entirely...

    I think the only thing wrong with interracial dating is that there isn't enough of it! Im white and come from a home town of all white people with no diversity. When I went away to school that all changed. I have grown up and learned so much from different races. I am physically drawn to people who look completely opposite me, preferably black and Spanish. I told my parents and family to not be shocked when I come home one day with someone who looks nothing like me. I know that when it comes down to it as long as a person loves you and respects you it doesn't matter what color their skin is or how much different they look from you, what matters is that they treat you right!

    Why would there be something wrong with it?

    Ignorance breeds ignorance.

    You shouldn't make decisions in your life based on what others may think about them.

    Personally, I find nothing wrong with it. It doesn't matter what color a person is, it matters how they treat you. Nobody is better or worse than anyone else just because of the color of their skin.

    Like another poster said above, if nothing else, you learn so much about other cultures and things!

    The problem isn't with inner racial dating the problem is with the sick people that give you evil looks or even come right out with their evil mouth when they see an inner racial couple
    If they are happy with each other then more power to them they may have found a truer love than the one that is judging them by appearance.

    You did not say what races are involved, but you will find that you will have issues, poor service in some business, you will have older people stare at you at times, In a fast food line the other will be ask, can we help you also. If one of the members are black, you can expect certain black groups to consider them a traitor to their race, and the same with some white groups.

    And if you have a chlld, they may have all of those problems of not fully being accepted in either group at times.

    I agree with n0help and fr_chuck...

    I dated a Indian girl for some time... and whenever we went to an asian restaurant, I could tell people were talking about us...

    And whenever we went to some indian festival or wedding, no one would really talk to us.

    At one of the places I worked there were a few people who would not accept food served by a black person. These few, bigots, they were called will not answer this post. It encompasses not accepting food, to making disparaging remarks, to staring at mixed couples, disdaining "mixed" children to ostracizing mixed race couples.

    We are all human. To say that only certain people should breed is saying that there are superior and inferior races. Donkeys are not superior to horses or vice versa. Mules, (half donkey half horse) are born sterile. Are they less than living beings?

    I am not saying there is anything wrong with it, but I will stand that it is not easy, and couples have enough problems already but they need to know what can and will happen. When a aunt will not come to the wedding and calls your new wife a racial name. Or you end up having to move because of problems with neighbors.
