interracial dating Options

[pbear]

People these days seem to against interracial dating, especially between Asians and whites. Is there something wrong with dating someone with a different skin color or ancestry?

[*Podomaht*]

my FOB asian friends are like 100percent against white girls.

-__-

hm..im okay with it, maybe because im asian american..

i guess....asians are racist. especially koreans, they dun like whites... -___-

thats not true.

i find asians (of our generation - because we all know about asian parents' phobia of african american people) are the people most likely to speak out against racism.

one thing that is common amongst asians these days is ethnocentrism

"Ethnocentrism" is a commonly used word in circles where ethnicity, inter-ethnic relations, and similar social issues are of concern. The usual definition of the term is "thinking one's own group's ways are superior to others" or "judging other groups as inferior to one's own."

well..not to that extent....
i myself tend to hang out or date asian people more frequently than caucasian people simply because i feel more comfortable around people who have similar customs, traditions, and family backgrounds as me. i dont feel as if i have to act differently around them ( i wouldnt act differently around anyone anyways, but that doesnt mean i dont feel like i should.)

the term "racism" or "racist" is too broadly used nowadays. anything is considered racism to people lately... the definition of racism is "a strong or irrational fear or hatred towards an entire ethnicity or race" i see too many people using it incorrectly, and it just..irks me i guess..

yeah.. i was the president of the cultural awareness club at my old school... i had to learn these things..

ethnocentrism.. that's a good word.. but nah there's nothing wrong with that.. you can't blame just an specific group coz some people are just plain all prejudice.. they think their race is superior so they do a lot of hate crimes.. also parents play a role too.. i mean they tell you who or not to date as a young kid.. of course is bad to disobey your parents so you end up doing what they tell you to do..

i think that a lot of people are having trouble getting past this...but people need to know that u cant chose who u fall in love with.

i said some are not ethnocentric to that extent... they dont think they're superior persay... they do however generally just stick to their own ethnic group. it doesnt mean their racist it just means they feel more comfortable with their own.

just because you prefer to date one race more than another, doesnt make you racist against the other race.

i know a lot of caucasian guys that prefer asian women.. because they think they're prettier and are generally more "wild" because their parents had protected and sheltered them all their lives...

i kinda think this is true... but the fact that i think asian females are prettier than caucasian females isnt racism ... its an opinion. there is a big difference.
[edit: i'd just like to add that, again, since the definition of racism is 'the strong or irrational fear or hatred towards an entire ethnicity or race," and the sentence above wasnt said with any hate or fear towards people who arent asian, i'm not being racist]

when did hate crimes come in here? there have been examples of hate crimes from every race towards every other race, so dont make it seem like asians are the ones most likely to.... just because some have occured, doesnt make the entire race prejudiced.

[noaccounthere]

I dont see anything wrong with it... I mean my friends who are asian date white gurlz and my cuzzin has a white bf...

Haha i guess im the only one who go for asian gurlz.
I like going with the same ethnicity because as someone pointed above I feel more welcomed and home with people with the same cultures, heritage, and tradition. No ethnicity is better than the other, but I do like to preserve the tradition and heritage i and my parents have been grown up with.

There is nothing wrong with dating outside your race. I hope that society eventually learns to accept it. I think it's great when people of two different cultures date because they learn new customs from each other and it allows them not to be so close minded. I think it makes things more interesting and more worthwhile.

I think you can fall in love with anyone of any color. We're really not as different as it seems.

Besides, mixed children are so beautiful. :) I think this is what God intended.

this is true...there is absolutely nothing wrong with dating outside of your race. there's nothing wrong with dating within your race either.

[*Podomaht*]

yep.

:)

my friends are scared of african american people.

[L00d]

i've always had a thing for asian girls.. i dunno why =X i'd date one in a heart beat, and i'm white.. well.. greek.

and today during lunch i realized i don't even have any white friends, all my friends are either asian, indian, black, or hispanic =X

everyone else thinks i'm hispanic cuz of my name, a few of them know i'm white, but then again people don't consider me as being white, they consider me as being greek, but i still think it's the same thing..? right?

[lexion]

My ex was white. It started out okay, but he didn't treat me like a princess enough.

[so0o_contagious]

hmm...im okay with it... i never really care what race he ish....

[*CEP*]

I think that people should let other people just do whatever they want. If they don't like whites dating asians then good for them. But it doesn't mean everybody else should think the same.

PS: I dated a white girl. Nothing happened. It was boring.

[fragrance]

interracial dating is whatever.
some people have jungle fever
and some people dont.
its all a matter of taste and preference.

i dont find anything wrong with it
so as the famous saying goes..

"whatever floats ur boat"

[Winter]

I'm okay with interracial dating. I'm chink but I've went out with a white guy. It wasn't weird or anything. My current bf is a Korean. I think that your race doesn't matter as long as you 'click'.

[d1nonlyqty]

i wouldnt mind datin someone of a different race..
but im attracted to my race mostly.

no, but like...not many ppl our age care, like....unless they wernt born here...but ya... but i agree, im more comfortable talking to someone who has the same things goin on

[xoxtammynguyenxo...]

i think its really like...weird how ppl think its racist, its just like how some ppl like taller ppl, or shorter ppl, or like diff personallity ppl

[S0ULd0UT]

my ex was white and im azn. the race really doesn't matter to me..

[xjjajeengx]

hmm... my first bf was white but kind of asian washed... but i think he was really cute and he was a great bf. and my 3rd bf (or was it second? lmao) was indonesian and he was really sweet too... but i think he was white washed? anyways, thing i m trying to prove here is taht it dont matter what race, as long as they treat you right.

[LatinaLady]

theres nothing wrong withthat. i am mexican and i love being with someone who is "black" its for me like a fetish so yeah. but theres nothing bad about it. its sexy, thats what i think. i think its just the same as someone saying they perfer coke insted of water. it dont matter to me.

exactly

[thisisallme]

I personally don't have any problem with it, I was even in one of these relationships for a little while. But everybody has their own beleifs, and some don't approve of them. To answer the question of if there is one thing, right or wrong, it would be impossible, because everybody has thier own beleifs. I suggest that you make this decision for yourself, and try no t to let anybody influence your opinion.
