"I would'nt do it! I have friends of all races, but dating 'interacial' No!"
I jumped on this because of the way it was stated with EXCLAIMATION marks and all. It was like 'are freakin' kidding me'. I'll tell something else, I was like you when I was younger. So I know all about "preferences". The difference with me was back then I wouldn't call someone my "friend" man or woman of another "race" if I didn't see them as a whole person b/c they looked 'different' from me. "Whole person" to me, back then meant "my own kind". Which meant friends, dating, relationship, marriage what have you as long as it was " my own kind".
Pretty ignorant huh? However, once I got exposed to a variety of ethinic groups and saw
how they were no diferent than me.....I changed my way of looking at ppl.
There are sexually attractive ppl. in all groups. There's beauty in all ppl. So given that premise. It stands to reason, if I met someone who shares the majority of my interests
goals etc. what would stop my attraction to them? As long as I percieve them as whole human beings who belong to one race.....the human race....what else could possible come into play? | |

Posted: 4/16/2006 7:34:29 PM | | Although nothing is guaranteed in this world except death and taxes... I probably wont % wise date a girl of a different race... but the strange emotion of love does play a factor, I do understand this! but you have to deal with alot from people the 'looks' e.t.c... lets just say I would have to really 'love' the girl to be in a 'interacial relationship'... I do feel we are different... in a way.. and thats what makes us unique and we must preserve this and our heritage's, but without ignorance and hate.. its hate and people not understanding how we are different and 'unique' which cause's racism.. | |

And this is really all that matters. And this is all I'm saying. The other stuff is b.s., i.e.
"the looks" (see this is what I thought, it's the same b.s. I once thought about too
until I woke up and said f*ck what other ppl. think, there's always ppl. who are gonna think something, who the heck is in control here me or them), the heritage, this "species" crap etc.
"lets just say I would have to really 'love' the girl to be in a 'interacial relationship'. "
Well, I'd hope you'd be man enough to "really love the girl" your with regardless of 'labels,' or
what somebody else thinks. I'd hope you "really love the girl" and stand up for her if she likes keeping the thing's simple for you, have beers with you, going to hockey games with you and who's down to earth....regardless who she was or what others might think. Anything thing else would ignorant. Coming from Canada, I'm a little surprised by your views. LOL, And here, I'm thinking it's the U.S. that's still struggling with a lack of social progress in matters of diversity. | |

Huh......what does any of this have to do with 2 human beings coming together, sharing the same desires, interests, appreciations etc. , while becoming better for the experience/exposure? Maybe you don't see it, but it's the abilty to share and bring together
"different and unique" ideas, ppl. etc. that makes for progress/advancements. | |

Posted: 4/17/2006 1:07:00 AM | I'm all for it...I once had a black friend.. so obviously I'm not racist, so obviously I only date guys who arent white because then it would be interracial.. and interracial is cool..
Kidding... race doesnt matter to me.. either way. | |

morally wrong? wow.. who tought you your morals? Hitler??
lol well said.
Me, I'm East Indian. But I've only ever dated white chicks. And not for moral reasons. That's just been what I mainly seem to be attracted to. I've been attracted to women of other races too, but the vast majority of the time it's to white women. The paler the better. | |

Well as sad or unblievable as it may sound, it is very much still an issue in our society. Yes, it should come down to all of us being just ppl. Some environments are more opt to accept it than others and those that choose to "practice" interacial dating or "embrace" it and live their life should know that if they truly love each other, it shouldn't matter what anyone (family, friends, etc.) think about the way they live their life.

Posted: 4/18/2006 12:20:27 PM | | No problem with it whatsoever... my last 3 relationships were with black men. Its only an issue if you choose to make it one. I don't know why so many do, but hey, they have to live in that little narrow mind of theirs, I don't. | |

Posted: 4/18/2006 6:45:50 PM | | It's funny how the majority of women from Canada ( men as well, I guess) don't seem to have all ethnic dating hang-ups. Maybe, I'm wrong, but it just seems that way. | |

Posted: 4/19/2006 4:22:50 PM | Well I just think a man is a man ... there are some good and some bad. I can't be bothered sorting the laundry by color or race when I'm trying to figure out if they're clean or dirty.
If your blood is still pumping through your veins I would say you're good to go. (life support machines not allowed) | |

Posted: 4/21/2006 5:15:54 AM | I don't think it should matter. It should all be in how the person treats you. If they can give you respect, and love than it should be between you and that other person. I wish the other people that do not like it should turn their heads and go about ther way. It is 2006 now. You know we all have a little bit of something in us. There is no one pure race anymore. Dave | |

Posted: 4/21/2006 7:44:50 AM | I don't think the issue is so much colour as culture. Our communication is based on culture, so miscommunication can happen with people of different backgrounds.
And it is a bit more of a challenge to understand the other person.... That said, my cousin has black/white kids and the only downfall to that is, the dominant genes! They don't look like her at all (she's pale with blue eyes). Some of my cousins look more like sisters, so we have this bond, which is missing for these kids on the white side. Not to mention that crossing the border with 2 kids that don't look like you can be interesting.
She also finds it harder to find role models for the kids. She seeks out black authors and artists and stuff, so they are raised with some sense of identity on both sides.
But my in-laws are whities from England and they are hard to understand, too. | |

Posted: 4/21/2006 9:09:51 AM | counselor,
I'm curious to your comment about the kids missing that bond on the white side. Kids will adapt to whomever, given the way they're treated but to discount them by not trying to hold a bond because they're not white is a bit ridiculus.
Question though... i'm just reading what you wrote but you mention a concern that the kids didn't look anything like their mother... How does she feel about that? No right or wrong answer. I'm just curious.
Not putting your cousin down or anything but their role model should be her. If she want to find other role models, your priest/pastor is always a start and then of course some of the kids host on Nick or some other kid show. Great role models are out there but the best should be the parent/grandparents or what have you IMHO.
Best wishes with your cousin and kids!

Posted: 4/21/2006 5:07:12 PM | You know I shouldn't say this but ..I hate when people use the word "culture" as an excuse. Usually they're the first ones to go to another country to experience a different culture.
And also another mention people won't like ... but if the bond is missing its because they didn't learn to bond with people from the parents.
Children learn from parents and other adults.
If we took a 1 child from 5 different races and raised them all together they'd consider themselves a family.
Its too bad adults loose that as they get older. | |
