What do you think of interracial relationships?

My family wants me to marry within our race. However, I’m very much for interracial marriage. In fact, I never really think about a person’s race. What are your views, and your family’s view on this topic?

Answer #1

my prospective is race does not matter. where all going to be brown one day does it really matter? not approving of someone just because of their skin color is proof we have not come far from caveman times.

I think if I loved a man I felt a spiritual connections, same poetry of the soul I be with him. I imagine their be some obstacles little ones like having different diets, celebrating different holidays. the only factor that might remotely stop me from marring someone is if they came from a a different religion background. I need someone who has faith well go to church with me. I want to make god a big part of my life, if my amour can’t be a part of it he not being apart of my life.

also what god would we get married under? I never say I do to another god, only mine. I Ike meeting people from different cultures, their nothing wrong with having a different religion, or skin color. I just think me and my life partner would need to be on the same page with religion, everything else is fine. im attracted to allot middle eastern men I find them attractive yet, allot them are Muslim. I be friend them, just never marry them.

Mixed race couples can have additional challenges. On the other hand drawing from both traditions can make the household richer.

Parents want their kids not to have problems in life. I have nothing against gays and lesbians but I don’t want my daughter to be a lesbian. Not because I would think any less of her but because I know that it would make her life more difficult.

Your parents may just be trying to keep you from having unnecessary problems in life by being in a mixed marriage rather than them being racist.

I’d point out that parents really have no control over their children’s sexual orientation and very little control over who they will fall in love with. They really should not take a stand in either area.

Answer #3

You love who you love it doesn’t matter what others think as long as your happy. I happen to not care about much including interracial relations if it makes you happy why not people are people skin color doesn’t make a difference.

Answer #4

My best friend is racially mixed. My best friend in high school was racially mixed. I guess I think they produce some pretty great kids? And they definitely produce very beautiful children.

Answer #5

You’re parents want you to marry within your own race, so that you and your spouse wont have problems over how to raise your children with different traditions in family backgrounds. I think that when it comes down to it they want you to live a happy life, so marry the one you love, they come around eventually.

Answer #6

I think they’re just like any other couple. Maybe even more beautiful. The fact that they look past each others skin as something not important is an amazing thing in today’s society.

Answer #7

I do agree with other posts, they do make some gorgious looking kids. If both of you can go well together, race should not matter. I did have an experience dating someone outside my race, at first we love to talk and laugh together but as time goes by we just find out that we didn’t have anything much in common, so we broke up. It all comes down to both yours and his compatibility and your philosophy in life. Don’t mind the parents, they just want what’s best for you but in the end, it’s you who have to make the decision because you make your own choice, not them.

Answer #8

they make the cutest of babies 1_~ Really they do. My niece is half Spanish and half Caucasian( a little Native American) and she’s gorges. On the other hand, my second cousin, full Caucasian, she looked like a mini ET XD Other than that, they’re just like any other couple. People should love each other for who they are. Race shouldn’t matter. We’re all human. I’ld imagine ALL of us now are related to the 92(or was it 96) first homoeructus that started the species. Who should give a flying rats @$$ about race.

Answer #9

I generally advise against marriage, but if you insist on getting married, it probably is best to marry someone from the human race, of your preferred gender.

Answer #10

If you never think about race, you wouldn’t even be asking this question. Someone who was completely unbiased about the issue would not care one way or the other about marrying within their own race.

The very fact that you asked the question paints you as someone that cares a great deal about race. I suspect that the only reason you’re pushing so hard to marry outside your race is because your parents are pushing you so hard in the other direction. Stop worrying about it or you’ll end up even more racist than you already are.
