What's your opinion on interracial dating/marriage?

Question

I've always thought it to be a great thing, and I never thought that there were ppl out there against it...but I've began to realize that there ARE ppl who are against interracial dating...why is it though?

& what do you think about it?

Answer 1

I feel great about it! I really don't mind interracial dating. I think its beautiful when people can express their feelings and not bow to the status que placed on us by society. People forget the culture of america and so it seems, there isn't what they would describe a "problem" with this situation, They choose not to address it, well the "problem" is people being color blind, to the specifics of the word, BLIND TO THE COLORS AROUND YOU. They are unwilling to accept them and hence they are not there or you are blind to them. I don't believe in color blindness, its ignorance, it needs to change, be aware of the wonderous variety around you and accept it. I Think its extremly interesting to learn about other people's ways of life. I think its really sad that people of any race can simply 'dis' others becuase they are of any color.

Answer 2

In my opinion there is no problem with interracial dating or marriage as long as you live in an area of this country where there are fewer prejudices. Unfortunately there are certain states or areas of the USA where there still is prejudice.

The surprising thing is that now a days I see more black people who are prejudiced against interracial dating than white, which in itself is rather disturbing. Prominent people like director Spike Lee for instance.

Why are people prejudiced? because they are ignorant and because they might have been brought up by parents who were prejudiced. And so they think it is the way to be. Which unfortunately just makes them closed minded and ignorant.

Will it ever change? probably, in time it might disappear altogether, and people will learn to accept people for who they are ...members of the human race.

I am Asian and was married to an American girl, we have beautiful children, the mixture of our two cultures created girls who were so pretty they were accepted into modeling by the Ford agency. They have had no problems at all with being interracial and if anything it gets them more boyfriends than I am comfortable with...lol.

Answer 3

It's not for me cuz of the love I have for my own race. I think black is beautiful and I want some little brown kids that are just like me. In regards to others, I just don't like the reasons people have for doing it. Most reasons I hear has nothing to do with attraction. When people exclusively date outside their race because of one or two bad experiences make me sick cuz you're generalizing your own people and its not right or fair. Also, if people keep blending pretty soon races are going to die out and we'll all look the same. Although that might be a good thing because it'll end alot of racism and stuff but at the same time I like own differences. I like to see different skin tones and nationalities. The world will be no fun if everyone was the same.

Answer 4

If you are here on this forum asking for other peoples' opinions, then, in my opinion, it's probably not for you. You're probably not psychologically strong enough. You will most likely suffer too much. I'm not against it, but I believe it's for people who are strong enough to handle the rejection (and other ills) they will almost surely experience from some people--possibly including their own spouse.



The point I'm trying to make is that people who are that strong don't ask for other people's opinions--they usually try to impose their opinion on others. Also, this subject is much more complicated than the couple just having different color skin. And each case is different. As you read this, if your are backing away from the screen, thinking no no, this guy is all wrong, then you would most likely suffer. If you are sticking your face in the screen wanting to bite my nose off for having implied that you might be too wimpy for this, then you've probably got what it takes to survive the mix.

Answer 5

I am against interracialy dating when one person does all the 'settling' in the relationship and allows the other ethnicity or race to be higher than his/her own.



African Americans especially need to be carefuly with interracial dating because of remnants of slavery still existing in our culture today.



Interracial dating is okay as long as both ethnicities are respected by the partner. You can't date a white person and then all they do is make fun of black women on welfare. If you were a black woman in that relationship you should definitely get out no matter how he makes you feel because he will pass that along to your future kids!!!!

Answer 6

In principle it is acceptable. But some riders have to be stated which are relevant. Dating/ marriage need some measure of compatibility for it to be lasting. These issues are not just crush for each other and sex.Culture, habits, upbringing, food habits and faith will be some what divergent.These can cause some serious differences and breakups in relations. Considerable thought and deliberation are therefore needed before embarking on interracial dating and marriage.

Answer 7

I do not think it is anybody's business who you date or who you marry. I have no problem with it. It is so hard to find someone who truly loves you and cares. Why would you let race stand in the way of being with that person? If I met a great guy and he was white I would go out with him. I do not see anything wrong with interracial dating/marriages.

Answer 8

There isn't ANYTHING wrong with it. Time's are changing, and the ones that don't approve are either older people, or predjuice people. I guess some parents think if their little white girl is dating a black guy it's wrong, but he could be just as good if not better than a white guy! And same goes for black girls dating white boys. Don't divide us by color! I'm surprised they haven't made it illegal, but a man and a woman and a man and a man or a woman and a woman can all love each other in this world and there isn't anything wrong with that!!!!! So if you want to date someone of another color (or another SEX) don't let anybody tell you it's wrong beacuse it's what you feel in your heart that matters.

Answer 9

Its so stupid to think that interracial dating is wrong. I mean its just two ppl going out on a date no matter what race you are. If they like each other then no one else need a say on the matter.

Answer 10

Im down for it yet i in basic terms dont choose different races to think of im drawn to them reason i "want" them. I hate while men think of we could be into them via fact without them we'd die. Why do they think of being on my own is such an argument. As a black woman I have no difficulty being autonomous and doing what i'd desire to do without a guy tagging alongside. If i choose a guy i gets one and suited now i dont want drama in my existence and men presently are all drama, cheaterse, liers, pretend, 2 timing.. ok i'm carried out.. shall we in basic terms say my analyze come first for now. I have no time to handle heartache considering that relationships in basic terms look to deliver me that. a sturdy guy is a sturdy guy and presently they are complicated to locate.

Answer 11

Different strokes for different folks. I'm a white male and I have one cousin that married a guy who is Asian. I have two friends getting married, one Korean, the other is white. I know 2 guys that are gay and somewhat open about it. Not only that, I have gone out with a girl that is Mexican and we get along great and I would have no problem dating her but I know my mother would not be in the greatest of moods.



Society is a mother f... and no matter what you do, someone will get pissed. The hell with, as long as you are happy, run with it!!

Answer 12

I do believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and happiness. Yet you did ask the question so......I personally do not believe in interracial relations. The main reason is if the relationship grows and the couple marry and want children. Those children are left feeling confused as to which race they belong in. They are not accepted by the white or the black culture. They did not ask for this extra hurdle in life they were born to it. Not to mention relationships and dating are hard enough why begin with society looking down on it and having to work out extra issues within in. Just date within your own race and avoid these problem areas of life.

Answer 13

People should be able to love whomever they want. It is nobody elses business.



People may be against it because they don't want their race to die out. If everyone dated interracially there would be no pureblooded Caucasions or African Americans.



Also, people are afraid of other cultures that they are unfamiliar with.

Answer 14

This is a matter of the heart between the two individuals and even though external forces have a big influence I think it is fine as long as that is what the two indiviuals want.

Answer 15

I have been with my "black" man for 2 years now. Our relationship is wonderful. I do get the looks from black women every now and then but it doesn't bother me at all or him. You love who you love, no matter the race. People who judge other people are insecure and immature! They don't like what they don't know. Its that's simple.

Answer 16

I think that even in this day and age some people have racist minds.



Color is only because of a pigment in our skin called Melain(sp?)

If you dating someone or engaged to someone and they love you why should race matter?



Don't give into society's way of living and the rules and their stereotypical ways. Its perfectly fine to date someone of a different race

Answer 17

I am white and never dated a woman of color. I would say I wouldn't go looking for a woman of color BUT if I met one whom I fell in love with then what's the difference.

Answer 18

Some people (usually whites) feel that it is immoral, improper and leads to the destruction of the race because of ths "unnatural" mingling.



People are flamingly stupid.



I have no qualms about it.

Answer 19

Love has no color. I think that as long as you are happy with whomever you are with, who cares what other people think...people are way too judgemental of others people's relationships and I think that is just stupid...as long as you're okay with it, who cares what everyone else may think.

Answer 20

I think that Love is color blind. Were in 2006 who cares what some Ignorant people think.

Look for a person who smart & funny and treats you with respect & loves you for you.

Who cares what color there skin is. :>)

Answer 21

My OPINION is "To each its own". Why judge people as long as you are happy together who cares what anyone else thinks!!

Answer 22

It is hard to find love out there....if you are happy and in love then there is no reason to hate it. Some people just don't like it and they are self-centered and closed minded.

Answer 23

I think whoever is agianst that, is just pure ignorance. God made us all the same, and we need to learn to love each other. Is beautiful when different races marry, because you learn from one antoher, our different culture and customs. but when it comes down to it, we all have the same needs! plus they make beautiful babies!

Answer 24

I dont see anything wrong with it as long as the two people love each other.

Answer 25

I think whatever floats your boat... go for it! Especially if the couple makes a cute, mixed baby its adorable :-)

Answer 26

I personally think it is about self hate but in America you can marry who you want and if you love eachother who am i to judge you.

Answer 27

I am against interracial dating/marriage, with very few exceptions.

Answer 28

Ya know, I don't mind it. If you love the person go for it. Who cares if they're black or white, or asian or whatever

Answer 29

example: black and white

unfortunately a large segment of black society will be upset as will a large segment of white society.

if yes, go for it.
