I for one LOVE interracial dating and relationships. There are the only kinds that I have, and I also LOVE laughing in the faces of imbeciles that want to challenge me on my stance. *u*

i'm one thousand% for gay marriage, gay adoption, gay love and equivalent gay rights, in spite of the undeniable fact that i'm a hundred% quickly myself. i do no longer see how everyone can decide somebody for who they love, love has no gender and it particularly isn't any longer a call, it particularly is an attraction which you're born with, you are able to no longer help or keep away from it and no person has the appropriate to decide everyone on that. no person. i do no longer see why interacial couples or relationships are even a controversy anymore, i do no longer understand everyone who's against it. we live in 2010 now and persons could learn how to settle for it in the event that they have not already. I even have no longer something against it. i'm professional-decision. i do no longer even could desire to record the numerous explanation why. Being professional-decision is sensible, it particularly is in line with information, it ignores the biases of religion and private opinion on it being "homicide" and it cuts directly to what's actuality. The scientific edge of it, it particularly is scientifically shown that a toddlers coronary heart would not start up beating till 12 weeks, at which diploma maximum clinics won't carry out abortions. The workable age for a fetus is 26 weeks on the least, meaning that any time a new child is born previously then, there isn't any way it particularly is going to proceed to exist. people could get their information quickly previously they choose for this. professional-lifers are hypocrites, you won't be able to be "professional-life with exceptions" you are able to no longer use faith as a controversy, you are able to no longer argue without the information. own opinion and the obtrusive are 2 somewhat some issues completely. i'm pregnant besides via ways, being professional-decision would not inevitably mean i ought to have an abortion, i'm conserving my toddler yet i'm chuffed the choice to terminate a being pregnant for regardless of reason (and there are 1000's of explanation why) is there.

I am part of an interracial couple. I'm white - from the Midwest. My husband is originally from India (came to the US at age 18) and is as dark-skinned as many African Americans. We just married in June of 2006 after 8.5 years together. We're no spring chickens. He's 61 and I'm 49.

He's the nicest guy on the planet - IMHO anyway. But there are challenges that have to do with our cultural differences. I don't think the challenges are any different than if my husband was a super golf nut and I didn't like golf, for example. You compromise and deal with the differences and try your best to find middle ground. Or one gives in to the other. Usually he gives in to me. *wink* If there's something he really feels strongly about - I'll give in to him. The most important thing is that when you have love (and chemistry) - your aim is to work it out - not to dig your heels in and insist on being right.

One of the things I believe makes our relationship work is that his very small family of origin is over 2,000 miles away and he has little contact with them so they aren't able to meddle in our life. His dad and sister are very into "high drama" and we keep our distance.

Even though he can be a little quirky - I probably seem that way to him as well. We are committed to work together and resolve whatever issues come up as a couple without outside interference - and that totally transcends any differences in race. He has two grown sons - married with their own families - they're a four hour drive away - and they've always been very supportive. We go visit them and see our adorable grandchildren about every 4-6 weeks.

Now differences in religion - that I see as a bigger obstacle. I have a very good friend (he's black and pretty much Bhuddist) and he's gone out three times now with a woman who's fairly religious, white and Christian. This morning at Starbucks he told me that the religious differences just might be a deal-breaker in their new relationship. Not the racial part - but the religious differences. He really likes her, there's chemistry - but this is apparently a big deal to both of them. It's a shame - but both of them have to be true to their own core beliefs. That's more important in the long run.

When people have strong, devout religious beliefs that are different - I think that's a much bigger deal than being of a different race. If two people are of different faiths - but aren't that strong about it - it could possibly work.

All the best,

Being half asian myself and my bf being american i could care less, i am happy with my relationship and you should be too, i mean who cares what other people think as long as you're in love, still about this topic in other cultures around the world interracial couples are considered wrong lol don't ask me why :P

I've dated men of many different races. People are people. It still boggles my mind that people make distinctions simply based on skin color. I feel sorry for people with such prejudices. They're missing out on a lot of enrichment in their lives.

I don't see any issues with it. I've been in several interracial relationships and my thought is if I rule out a person based on something as superficial as ethnic background I could be missing out on the best thing that may ever happen to me.

I am surprised by the looks that some people give to interracial couples. They look so angry. For some reason they seem angrier when the male is dark. My niece and nephews are half black-half white. They date mostly dark skinned people but will date a white person.

I think interracial dating is a good thing, but it also disgusts me that there are people who think I and the guys I date shouldnt be together, just because of mere skin colour. Childish and VERY old fashioned way of thinking. I just prefer dating interracially, so thats the only kind of dating that I do.

I think older people have a problem with dating others from a different color because they realize that pretty soon, this world will be full of mixed people and there will be less and less white people around becuase everyone is dating someone out of their race. I think mixed people are beautiful and exotic. You and your boyfriend should have babies together lol. But if you think about it, everyone is mixed with something else. So who cares?

I have no problem with interracial couples. I don't understand why people have such problems with them. Whats the worst that will happen...the world will have nothing but "mixed" ethnicities and it will be easier for people to get a long??? oh nooo what a scary thought!!
