RACE or Culture?
Posted: 2/25/2006 5:48:51 AM
I feel like the issue is culture more than race. I had a love relationship with an Asian from her native country in the US. People are people. I think culture is more an issue than race. What people believe, expect, enjoy, dislike/like.

I got weird looks and stupid questions from people about her or us. "Mail order bride", "reformed prostitute" you wouldn't believe the stupid, negative assumptions.

The worst was the bigots that you could feel the contempt and seething hatred because I am with a "slope" or a "gook". A few let some comments slip out while drunk or whatever. Unbelievable. Most people are accepting, but all I can say is that if you limit yourself to one 'race' you may be remaining in a sociological 'box' and won't learn things. Now, to have children and subject them to the above stupidity? I'd be careful.

I loved her as a person. I am open to that kind of love with any woman.

I believe you have to BE HONEST about what you do and don't like. I DIDN'T like all of her favorite foods---but that is culture, not RACE.

She was and is a beautiful woman--I savored me time with her. Would I do it again? Of course.

No offense but I rather date someone outside my race, thats the way my family is so I grew up that way and I'm really attracted to Caucasian girls so I can't fight the temptation lol.

I did it! that was 1967 no less and 42 yrs later I have 3 terrific kids (really attractive too). Two have master degrees and all three have bachelor degrees. Its the person you pick and their values and standards....not the race.

I would, yes. I've dated Hispanic/Latino men, and I'd definitely be interested in meeting Scandinavian and Polynesian/Pacific Island men, too. I just have not had a lot of luck dating Caucasian men, maybe just not the right one? I like islands or beach communities better, anyway...Condos and high rises are not my idea of the so called American dream...Give me a man who is down to earth and is happy with his life and what he does, if he's a single dad, that's a definite plus!

My parents did....and here I am!!

Being bi-racial myself, I never identified with a particular race or culture....I view each of them with curiosity and wonderment, which gives me a unique perspective. Some may think that's good, others may see it as a negative, but it has always worked for me. That being said, I echo the sentiments of some of the previous posts....a person is a person is a person.

I do. But I like to think of the ladies of different cultures as flavors. We have our chocolates, our caramels, etc...

i've always dated in and out of my race .it's a shame that some people can't get past skin color but many people do it as a joke and that hurts.
many white guys date black girls and when the relationship takes it's natural course they end it many times leaving innocent children to suffer and they use race as their excuse but really it's the same fear of commitment that all people feel they just don't know how to say that and so they claim they cant marry outside of their race.if you can **** outside of your race than you can also marry outside of your race
at the end of the day love is colorblind and if you don't try you could be letting your true love pass you by

If any of us has studied 'Geneology' you would be surprised what you would find out about yourselves. I was a lucky individual that has never been brought up to view anyone as really being 'off limits' due to their race, culture, ethnic background, religious beliefs, etc. No tabu here.

I am proud to say that I have coats of many colors within my family and the best thing that lies within all of us is our Hearts. Like Tesla73 says, viewing each race and culture with curiosity and wonderment and appreciating what we can learn from all the various ones.

Some of us may say that they do have their preferences. That is true with anyone. Each of us prefer a certain lifestyle and what it comes down to is finding that certain person that 'fits' into your lifestyle.
I am very happy that I am approachable and accept anyone into my life that is of good character, has integrity, respects self and others .

What's that old saying? Variety is the 'spice of life'?

DATED OUTSIDE MY RACE
Posted: 9/7/2008 6:16:06 AM
YES I did. 1967 I met my husband and we have 3 of the best kids ever born. all old now and winners.

In the old days when a person dated out of their race it was very difficult and down right dangerous. When I was in Texas my sister introduced me to Larry, a very well educated, classy Black man. my age. young then. We went for a "soda pop" at a drive in. I thought we had seen our last days on earth. The lynchers were ready. We did not go in public after that. I returned to Miami where this behavior was less. Still was impossible to date a Black man without serious consequences but at least we knew in Miami we wouldnt be lynced. However, i met a fellow from Thailand (oh the stares) and we married.

Sigmund Freud says that women date out of their race if they had a bad relationship with their dads. SO right in my case. I had a cruel father and , though I did not know it then, I thought any man in the white race might also be cruel.

Awe hell...I was going to leave this one alone, but here goes.....I don't date outside my race and it has nothing to do with bigotry, racism, prejudice or cultural lifestyle. It has to do with what I find attractive. There's gorgeous black woman, I'm not attracted to them, there's beautiful hispanic woman, same thing and on and on.....I'm attracted to white woman. I prefer Ford over General motors, Scotch over beer and I don't like mushrooms.
I prefer white, skinny to medium build litty titty white woman.....

A strange question for a state like Florida where immigration is one of the highest in the nation.

I for one am Latino. I can't tell you how happy I am to be in Florida, to be able to meet new people every day, from all races, and how enriching that process is.

Under any circumstances will I discard a woman because of race.

Being in touch with different cultures and lifestyles is fascinating.

Have you seen some of the people on here? I'm pretty sure dating some of them might be considered "beastiality" .......

I date almost exclusively out of my race, but really its not that I planned it that way per say. Race is very important when it comes to dating whether people want to admit it or not, which most people would deny. Racism is a topic that is generally ignored by the general populace but let me tell you that its alive and well lol. People will make assumptions about you based on your race, regardless of your looks, how you carry yourself, or your persona. The majority of women of my race date outside the race anyways, so its almost social conditioning to do so, even in a multicultural melting pot like Toronto. To me race matters very little because attraction is simply not a choice, but it does seem far more important to women, just as an observation. Further, most of the underlying assumptions are wrong anyways.

I don't date outside my race anymore. The two hispanic men I dated were the worst relationships I have ever been in. They were controlling and abusive and down right mean. Plus, I rarely have anything in common with men from other races. I am a good ol redneck girl who likes country music, country bars and all things country. I personally prefer my good ole redneck white boys in tight ass wranglers.

I dated Outside my race once .. he was however from the same solar system, or at least that was what he claims. The logistics of our intimacy was quite an accomplishment , he called it experiments , but I knew better Why settle for the human race when the galaxy offers a smorgasbord of opportunity.

I think dating outside your race is ok it really depends on the two people doing so.But at the same time we still live in a society that have people that has a problem with it.I suspect that the reason is they are full of hatred within themselves that they cant stand to see someone in their race content with someone outside their race and thats a shame because,they dont realize that change is good....

Most of this is funny. Years ago, during the time we were exploring this great land, there were many mixtures of cultures and races that married. One prime example was the early explorers who married into the Cherokee tribe. After so many years, it is hard to tell that you have Native American blood in you. The same for the Spainards who arrived to explore Mexico and married Native American there also. God forbid that if you were an Irish Catholic and wanted to marry an Irish Protestant. Not only skin color, but, religion was a big factor and still is today in some cultures. Being retired from the military, I've seen many mixes. The children from these are different too. I've said it before and will say it again that we won't experience it for some time to come and not in our lifetime, but, there will eventually be only one race.............HUMAN.
