What are your thoughts on inter racial dating/marriage? Have you dated or married someone of a different race?

If you did, what did your family and friends say or think about it? I dated several men of a different race than me. I remember my father was not thrilled about it, but accepted it. My mother was fine with it.

Please don't answer, we're all of the same race, the human race, I have no doubt about that.What are your thoughts on inter racial dating/marriage? Have you dated or married someone of a different race?First of all I'm not prejudice!!! I'm a half-breed Native American!! My mom is white and my dad Native!! I wished people would consider what it is going to do to the child...it's been rough being a half-breed...when the Native's get angry at you they call you white...when the white's get angry at you they call you NDN!!! So consider the kids...please!!! I look Native but can tell I'm not full-blood although I've been asked that so I hang with the Natives mostly but do have white friends but find out I am actually on the "Red Road" which makes my white mom angry!! But, I click with the NDN's!!! My folks fought constantly and ended up divorcing and she married a white man and they get along great!!! My dad has passed..his people drove over 100 miles from his reservation to put him away!!!What are your thoughts on inter racial dating/marriage?

i have had lots of relationships with different races, my parents didnt care, its my life and they are good people.

why should it matter, there are millions of people in mixed marriages all over the worldWhat are your thoughts on inter racial dating/marriage? Have you dated or married someone of a different race?none of my friends or family approve. when i was younger, i was about free love and thought it was okay. now that i lived a little more, i see where my family and friends were coming from. but once again you live and learn. i have no problems with others dating outside their race but it is not for me anymore.
Im a white women married to a middle eastern man.. ( dont know if you consider that interracial).. Im white and he's brown..

my family are fine with it..What are your thoughts on inter racial dating/marriage? Have you dated or married someone of a different race?Yes, my wife was a mixture, Australian Aborigine and Chinese. Everybody was happy about it, even my grandparents who, given their age, were a little old fashioned. My children all displayed some of their aboriginal ancestry and are partnered by white people whose parents seem fine with those relationships tooWhat are your thoughts on inter racial dating/marriage?

I have dated outside my race 3 times. I liked it and found no difference besides family background morals dealing with religons and such. My family and friends didn't see anything wrong with it, in fact they were please to know that there kids isn't close minded. It should be the matter of skin but ,ore of ethic background and morals. My cousin dated outside of her race and though she find it quiten cute and amusing it was then when she married the guy that she found out that their family believes that women she be in the home and the men she be outside working. Not very plz with that at all. She also found out that all the foods she like he didn't like and she had to cook only the stuff he liked. I was wondering did they even dATE. lol
I did and still do.



My family is very supportive; he's a good man and makes me happy so that's all that matters to them.What are your thoughts on inter racial dating/marriage? Have you dated or married someone of a different race?
i dated men out of my race before. my parents were ok especially my mom because she is very open minded.
i haven't , but if they are nice people i couldn't care less what colour they are.

and if my children had inter racial partners , no worries, i'd love my grand kids if they were yellow ,black, green , white or purple.
I never have but do know a couple who is inter racial and they have a daughter who is 2 now.It isn't working.They have their differences. I believe people should marry within their race because it seems to work better. Most couples have differences with cultural issues and religion.They are hard issues to solve.Of course there are those couples that have it all together and it does work despite their race. I doubt there is a pat answer and I am sure my opinion is not popular.
like shopping for clothes. does your taste run to quality or cheap.
Being from the south, I was raised to believe it was wrong. I still feel uneasy seeing mixed couples. However when I see the off springs from mixed couple, I can't help but see beautiful, smart children and I believe that we were meant to mix with other nationalities to get the most out of our genes. I believe president Obama is a case in point. I don't like interracial marriages, but the outcome is far more important than my personal feelings.
I am thankful that I was raised with respect for other peoples decisions.

It is not my place to judge others in their relationships.

It is certainly regional as to the responses that one would get.

Countries and locals alike view this in a differant way.

For me do whatever makes you happy.
I dated a native american woman in 1978 for about eight months. Then she dumped me. Then about a year later she called and wanted to get together again. I told her no thanks I am seeing someone else. I think it is matter of personal choice.
It should all be a matter that comes from you intuition. your heart and soul. there is discrimination within ones own race if you are too dark or too light one cannot win...so live life to the fullest the best way you can with a happy heart.
personally i think it's wrong but that is not the current thinking of many other people.
My grandkids are biracial, my son-in-law is a different race than my daughter. I tend to not think about it anymore and if others do, they sure don't say anything. It is a privilege to have my world widen in knowledge and experience.
My oldest son recently married a Filipino woman.

I never once considered the race issue.

But, as time goes on, I have now found myself wondering about future children.

I know the world is cruel. I want the best for my grandchildren. If they are discriminated against because of their skin, it would break my heart.

My children were raised to believe that we are all equal.

Apparently I was successful doing that.
Interracial dating is fairly commonplace these days and I have no objections to it. Marriage is difficult and 1 out of 2 fails. I would say that chances are better without having to overcome the difference in race or religion, but many people have successfully managed it. I am for whatever makes the couple happy as long as their children do not have to suffer for any decisions made.
If the two are in love and happy with each other. Hey, what can I say? It really is not any of my business. It is ok with me. I only wish them the best.
