My answer to what this question was really about is, yes and vice versa where i come from. I currently work with a young white guy of 18 who is dating an Asian girl, i also work with a white woman who has a black partner and two lovely black children.
There are many mixed race couples that i come into contact with during the coarse of my day who have many different back grounds, rangeing from african, jamacan, eygption,chinese, japanese,samali it's endless and the majority of them are very lovely people like everyone else, ok you do get those that are extremely rude but you also get that from white people, it's the same with crime and so on, colour doesn't come into it, not in my book, i simply don't see it.
There are many white men who are attracted to middle eastern girls, and i have to say that they are very attractive, whilst there are white women who are attracted to black men, it can be a sort of a fashion statement at the moment, one incident that did make me laugh ; two 5 yearold girls came into the store, one was african and her friend was white but because she wanted to look like her friend she had blackened her face, so's they could be the same, now how heartwarming is that, thats how it should be.Sadley her mother told her off... i could have cried
It's only when kids get older that they pick up alsorts of bad vibes that can sometimes lead to many prejudices depending alot on how they are raised.
Unfortunately many of the older generation will comment and point at mixed race couples still considering it to be unacceptable, saying that they should stay with their own kind.
I think it's going to be a few generations on before it's accepted fully.
Personally i think it's fantastic i like to learn about different cultures, i don't care if they are sky blue with pink dots all over, we've all got the same bits inside and and all bleed red .
LIVE AND LET LIVE
