I dont think actuall two people from diffrent racial backgrounds is a problem anitially its wen children from mixed race couples happen as it opens up a mine field of health ricks as the two sets of geans dont belong together and usually causes some kind of health problem!!


wow, just wow. not only are you ignorant, you can't spell!!!! i am mixed, my son is mixed. i was very seldom sick as a child. i was in gifted programs all my life and CAN spell very well indeed. my son is 4 and never gets sick. how DARE you imply that "mixing genes" can put someone at a disadvantage?! did you even pay attention in biology class when you were in school? i can tell you, as a person that was thinking about med school, there are more congenital diseases that develop from SAME race-offspring than interracial. that is why there are certain diseases specific to jewish, irish, asian, african american, indian........ so, the next time you decide to "share," don't MAKE UP things and try to convince others that they are valid.
actuall = actual
diffrent = different
anitially = initially
wen = when
ricks = risks
geans = genes

wow, don't discuss "geans" if you can't even spell the real word.

(sorry, guys, that this is so long. i'm just absolutely sick of hearing this same stupid excuse over and over. guess what? are you really going to argue about mixing if you need a transfusion or an organ transplant and that donor was not of your race? thought so..... )

I really don't care. I mean all my boyfriends have been from different backgrounds so it's clearly not an issue with me.

opposites always attrack each other... what the question should be is how do we feel
about prejudice on color between men and women...
for me i don't like any form of prejudice.... for me i luv white women, i am a
Cherokee Native/....and women should be open mined about men of color... pick
your man on what makes him a man...not turn him down because of his color...
you will miss out on a lot of good men

i dont see anything wrong with it at all, i love white women with a passion and i mainly date white women, but i will say that i do get alot of dirty looks and comments when i walk down the street.

mainly from the older folks though....the younger generation is more open.

Having dated outside of my race exclusively since I entered the army (until this year) and having been married to an Asian, African-American, and a multi-cultural woman, I guess you can say I am in favor of interracial dating.

I don't know, maybe he's right... lately my knees have been hurting, I'm slow to heal from a calf injury, and I've been throwing out malapropisms left and right... not to menshun, my spelling has bin going down the crapper...

I am fine with it,

I have no problems with it. I don't specifically go for a ethnic background but all of my previous girlfriends have been Non-Asian. I don't have a preference, but I'm exposed to more Non-Asians because all my friends are Non-Asian, and their circle of friends don't have very many Asians either.

My relatives (everyone except my mom and my sister) are against me dating a Non-Chinese girl. But after being told once I told them all where to put it.

My family (immediate or not) doesn't change anything, and I date who I want.

Bionic woman, you said:

sigh


Is this the same woman who says in her profile that her idea of a great first date is:

Run off to a desert Island and stay for a few months living savagely.

Honey, you are 47 years old. When I was 24, I was defending my choice of a mate to my mother who was very upset that I married a Vietnamese girl. I told her the bottom line was "I am an adult and I will marry whomever I choose to. You can choose to accept her or not, but if you don't accept my wife, don't expect to ever see your grandchildren. The very word grandchildren is sacred to mothers. It can work miracles. My mom's desire to have a relationship with her grandchildren outweighed her prejudices.

Bionic woman, life is to short to be 47 years old and allowing your family control your personal decisions regarding who you will date and marry.

[ How do you feel about Interracial Dating ? ]

Seeing a black man with a white woman doesn't bother me.
However, seeing a black woman with a white man I find quite upsetting.

Fortunately, if I whack him over the head with a wrench..and ask her out, I feel a whole lot better.

Wow. 4 years old and still going strong! Hot topic!

This is one of those questions that can never satisfy. Every answer is wrong in some peoples
eyes.

My view is that if "Love is in the air" all the other chit goes out the window. You can't control who you love. If you are open to whom you date, you are open to whom you love.

Seems simple to me... but I'm a simple guy. I said simple ...not stupid! *quit poking me*

As part of the chinese diaspora, been living in a foreigh country, and dating people from different cultural background for a few years, I dare to say that people still hold variety opinions for such an issue. I remember there was a comment from a local radio 'talk show', the host said: "why a western man want to marry an asian if they can find a woman from their same racial background..." I felt quite a shocked at the time when heard that comment from one of the popular radio program. I suppose it all depend on what environment peole live in, and life experience people have.

Even worse, is if someone sees an interracial couple and asks them "what do you do together?"

In the past I gave crazy, bizzarre answers just to shock them......bet a lot of those ignorant folks cringe every time they see a ceiling fan.....

Who cares what color the person is? The most important thing that should matter the most is how much you enjoy the person. I don't see how race has anything to do with it.

I've gone on some dates with black women but have never actually "dated" seriously with any of them. Not sure why; just wasn't clicking or whatever. I don't feel I usually end up being very comfortable and / or having much mutually "in common" with them, so, I'm not really into the idea personally of "black / white" dating. Furthermore I've only been occasionally attracted to (some) black women, to be honest. Usually I've found myself dating Hispanic women , but that is such a broad term (Hispanic) that in some cases (for instance a girl of Spanish European descent, a lot of South Americans, etc), it doesn't even necessarily constitute any sort of separate "race" really; just a different first language, in some cases....but I speak Spanish anyway due to the similarity with Italian, so....again, it's just not very "different" for me really. East Asians.....haven't met many to date really, so far, but I would. Anyone else, definitely, not a problem...sometimes it's just lack of actually meeting many ppl of various different races too. It depends.

Well for me, more often than not I date white men. Not necessarily because of their color but because I tend to have more in common with them (music, movies, etc). If I met a black man who shared the same interests I would date him. If I met a purple man that had the same interests I would date him etc etc. I date based on personality, not race.

We are all the same color when the lights are out... now if you are day glo orange when the lights go out... I might take issue... ;)

Who cares? Love is love, friendship is friendship... if less people cared about what other people thought, maybe racism would not be so cultured here in the US at least...

I am a typical American MUTT. So who am I to say what others are or do??? I don't invite anyone else into my bedroom, or head, so I am not going to invite myself into other people's...

kimmy thank you so much for your insightful response to such an idiotic post.

When I married my ex-husband I was told by a family member that my father would be turning over in his grave! Ha! As much as I love my father it didn't matter one bit to me. I was living my life for me and not him.

The people who seem to have the most problem with it were racist redneck white guys. Many times we would pull up next to some redneck in his truck and he would look at me and just shake his head and I would smile and lean over and give my husband a big long wet kiss. Oh it would drive them crazy and they would speed off while we laughed. When we were dating I had surgery on my wrist for carpel tunnel syndrome and I had to wear a compression bandage that looked like a cast and we were out one night having a drink and this guy just kept staring with this disgusted look on his face so my ex figured he was thinking that he had physically abused me and broke my arm. So he stood up and said loudly "Do it again b!tch and I will break the other arm" as he walked away. The look at that guys face was priceless. We laughed about that for weeks. It's all in how you look at things.

That was 19 years ago and I have a beautiful talented amazing and very healthy 18 year old daughter from that union. She has always been accepted by both whites and blacks in reference to her ethnicity. She has gotten some flack lately because she dresses punk, has a mohawk and plays guitar in a all male heavy metal band, but it has nothing to do with her being bi-racial.

Some people just need to wake up and smell the coffee....lifes too short...don't sweat the small stuff.

I only date women if they're from the island of Bagoojiponga. I don't date any other kind of woman. The Bagoos are transparent and as such you can see right through them as if they're not really there which is useful as no-one with a strong opinion on interracial dating gets to see what's going on and everyone's happy. Apart from when I stand in the street talking to my invisible girlfriend; it gets some funny looks does that.

I think what I'm saying is, in a roundabout way, is if I have a different race girlfriend it's noone else's blummin business but my own. If I have 'feelings' about someone else having an interracial relationship I shouldn't be thinking about them - I need to be looking at me.
