POLL: How do you feel about Interracial Marriages?
I'm doing a study and need to hear how people feel about Interracial Marriages. If you dont mind when you answer please give me your sex and age. That would really help me out to see how each age feels.
Note: When I pick the best answer it will be based on explaining why you feel that way NOT on your answer as yes or no.
Please DO NOT give thumbs up or down to people since I NEED honest answers. If you aren't willing to give your TRUE feelings then PLEASE do not waste my time.
Update:Also your skin color would be a good thing to know as well.

I think we are all part of interracial marriage anymore. I'm not sure why people have hang ups on it. My opinion on this subject is that marriage is two souls coming together as a team. What your race is shouldn't matter. However, because of society, it does. I know everyone says it is the kids that will suffer the torment, or lack a sense of placement, but in reality the next generation will in fact create its own placement and dilute the race boundaries.
That is my hope for our future,I don't think it impossible!

I really could care less about interracial marriages. If i see an interracial couple I dont even stare or look back to see at anything, because I honestly dont see anything wrong with it....it's something normal to me. However, I have never dated an african american guy just because they are not my type. Maybe I would one day, however, so far I haven't found one that has interested me. My retrograde parents on the other hand would probably flip out if I bring a guy that is not from my race home which I find to be completely retrograde and ignorant. My parents are 66(dad) and 51(mom).
I don't believe race should have anything to do with marriage. If two people love each other then they can find ways to bridge any culture gaps. It may in some way add to conversations about how each person grew up and became the way they are.
I don't see a problem with it. It may not be for some people for what ever reason but then no one is forcing them to marry someone of a different race. I don't think people should judge.

In an interracial marriage, I can tell you from experience that the couple involved doesn't want to be seen as different, special, good, or bad. We just want to be respected as a couple. When I see other mixed couples, I just see people who aren't any different than anyone else.

I've got no problem with interracial marriage. When two people find The One, they should be free to be together in a legally sanctioned bond, no matter who they are.
It pleases me to see interracial couples moving with ease into neighborhoods black or white, their mixed-race kids accepted. This is an everyday thing in the city nearest me, but the small towns ringing it still harbor prejudice, particularly those with lower socioeconomic status and presumably less education of its residents.
I could honestly care less. If two people of different color fall in love with each other, I don't see how it's different in any way, shape or form, of two people of same color falling in love. Both are humans and expressing their same emotions and devotion towards one another. Who can argue with that? It's upsurd.
I also don't care if two dudes, or two chicks love each other and want to be together for the exact same reason. I could care less.
The ONLY thing that bothers me and it bothers me about straight couples, gay couples, interracial couples is making out in public. I think that's wrong, gross, and no one wants to see it. What you do behind closed doors in your home is your business only, so don't bring that sh*t out on the street, please! Holding hands is fine. A quick hug & kiss is fine. Anything more than that, save it.
