It`s a simple concept. Interracial marriages. Are you for or against them? Give your reasons. 
Posted by: Mulder Apr 18 2007, 09:13 PM
I'm completely for it.
But then again, I don't believe there should be different races, so, why would I be against interracial marriage?
Posted by: Carpe_Diem Apr 18 2007, 10:30 PM
i think interracial marriages are perfectly fine.
just look at my family: you got your koreans, your russians, your indians (eastern), native americans, african americans, irish, french, and greek.
and my boyfriend's filipino.

Interracial marriage is a threat to diversity.

This is debate, that's outside the scope of the topic.
Posted by: Libertie Apr 19 2007, 01:05 AM
Fair enough, I guessed you'd say something like that. Anyway, like I said before, I see your point. However, instead of focusing on the implications of having less diversity as a result of interracial marriage, I'd rather look at it in terms of people becoming more open-minded and willing to accept people from different races. If people refuse to marry outside their respective races, would they not be less willing to socialize outside that circle as well?
Posted by: kryogenix Apr 19 2007, 01:24 AM
I have no problem socializing with people of other cultures, but that doesn't mean I'm going to marry them.

It's going to happen anyway, so why not start now?!

Theres nothing wrong with mixing it up a bit.
As a brown person I happen to love the white men...

Yeah, but look at the consequences. Hook up a Jamaican with an Italian, and you'll get little Pastafarians. Indians with Jews and you will get Hinjews. Mix someone from the Netherlands and someone from the Philippines, and you get a Hollapino. Someone from Iceland and someone from Cuba, and you get Icecubes.

I think they're definitely fine. If you love a person, who cares what color their skin is? I perfer to stay within my race, mostly because of culture, but its not that important to me.
Bob Jones University (HUGE Christian college in South Carolina) came to my school awhile back... afterwards I heard kids talking and it turns out they're strictly AGAINST interracial marriages. Specifically whites marrying blacks. I guess they just mean they wont do a ceremony in their church or on the school grounds, but still. That's insane, and almost makes you think that they're racist.

'You can run from us now but sooner or later, we'll hump you'. So all you non-Indians and non-Chinese better watch yo' backs.

This is an interesting debate because, for the time being, people are just going off social acceptance and mutual attraction. I completely agree and I'm all for it.
However, think about those families of a certain race, of a certain culture that would like to continue it. Perfect example, my ex is Mexican. her family is a rather large, Mexican, traditionally Roman Catholic, Spanish speaking family. The negrito definitely didn't fit in. One on one, she and I never had a problem, but she and I different upbringings, we believed in different values and, in the end, it didn't work out. The physical attraction part was easy. Going out with one another wasn't a big deal, but when family got involved, things got complicated.
Personally, I say, "f**k it," do your thing. Be you. Know yourself, know where you came from and know where you're going. Once you have a sound sense of who you are, you won't have to worry about changing for someone else, them changing for you, or for you to be conscious of holding hands with someone of another race.
Besides, I can't hate on this, I love women. Period.
Posted by: hazardous Apr 22 2007, 11:48 AM
there's nothing wrong with it. even if your family is racist, you get to make a desicion based on who you love. they can't do that for you. you should definately respect your family's wishes, as well as your spouce's, but in the end you get to make the desicion.

I read this article online recently for an English project and it was saying how the interracial marriage was genocide toward the white race. I`ll have to find it. 
Posted by: kryogenix Apr 22 2007, 05:17 PM
It's true, blue eyes is a recessive trait IIRC, so the more interracial marriages take place with blue eyed people, the more harm will be done.
Posted by: Seraphim9 Apr 22 2007, 05:18 PM
This topic is somewhat dumb. Of course its ok. Why anyone be against it? Only people with predjudice would disagree(no matter how much they deny they aren't)
Posted by: kryogenix Apr 22 2007, 05:20 PM
That's awesome logic right there. You might just win national debate competitions with that argument.

Wow, your stupid.
Who gives a damn. When people say "Oh yeah it's fine by me" It's like saying, oh it's ok but not what should really be. reality is that colour shouldn't be an issue but people make an big deal out of it.
The colour of someone's skin should even be a factor in whether or not you marry/love/like a person.

Mixing races will cause diseases and spread plagues throughout the world. Mixed people are a disgrace to society!
Posted by: sakaitone Apr 27 2007, 09:22 PM
There are enough people in the world who would marry their own race, so I don't see a problem with inter-racial marriages. Also, inter-racial marriages are rare in the U.S. (I'm not sure about the stats for other countries)
I can't tell if you're serious or not.
You know, women tend to want to date within their own race, according to research.
White women said yes about 30 percent less often to black or Hispanic men, and about 65 percent less often to Asian men.
Hispanic women said yes about 20 percent less often to black or white men, and 50 percent less often to Asian men.
Asian women didn’t discriminate much by race (except for showing a very slight preference for Asian men over black or Hispanic men).
For equal success with a white woman, an African-American needs to earn an additional $154,000; a Hispanic man needs $77,000; an Asian needs $247,000.
For equal success with a Hispanic woman, an African-American man needs to earn an additional $30,000; a white man needs to earn an additional $59,000.
For equal success with an Asian woman, an African-American needs no additional income; a white man needs $24,000 less than average; a Hispanic man needs $28,000 more than average.

i totally agree
Posted by: My Cinderella. Apr 28 2007, 11:57 AM
There's nothing wrong with agreeing, but try to give a little reason to why you feel the same as the person you agree with. 
I'm for interracial marriages. I know for sure I'm not going to marry any thai person. I mean, we're all people, so why should race stop us from marrying one another?
Posted by: Amechi May 6 2007, 07:46 PM
my friend said something to the affect that there's something weird about it. i looked at him funny and a little confused cuz im mix. good for him that he can be honest, but come on, you're friends with a f**king mixed person... does that make any sense?
Posted by: Wo0yaPo0ya May 6 2007, 07:52 PM
I'm perfectly fine with them.

phht aint nothing wrong with interracial marriage.
My girlfriend's chinese, and I'm as white as they come. Some people have preferences for different races, or just like certain people. That's not gonna do much to destroy diversity.
A lot of people would prefer to stick to their own race. I know most of my friends prefer their own race, and socially that's what happens most. Sure society can change and like everything become a normality and accepted, but I still find it hard to believe that diversity will disappear due to a seemingly rare occurrence.

Recessive and dominant genes!
Posted by: Jackaroe May 15 2007, 09:30 PM
I'm for interracial marriages too. I mean, it's human nature to like people who look like you, but that's only one part of human attraction.
I have a lot of mixed friends and they are proud of their different backgrounds. And I know I'm not going to marry an Asian dude. Sorry, but I just can't. (My parents think otherwise... <_<)
And, I don't know about you all, but from what I've seen, there are more attractive biracial people than people who marry within their own "race." But that's just me. *shrugs*
Posted by: NYCin2009 Jun 2 2007, 11:21 PM
Marriage is a choice made by two who are getting married. If they want to marry outside of race then good for them.
"If everybody married someone from a different race then in one generation there would me be no prejudice." -Tracy (Thirteen)
Marriage is about love and love shouldn't have anything to do with race. woo, i'm biracial, so yes i support interracial marriage 100%(even if i wasn't i still would).
Posted by: Flair Jun 9 2007, 01:30 PM
I'm not entirely for interracial marraiges. There are some races I wouldn't dare dating. Call it racism but I assure you that it isn't. It's about culture and my family.
Months ago, I'd have said 'I'm totally for it'. I'm not ... not exactly. I can't see myself bringing an Asian home.
I'd rather stick to my race (I've found this new attraction towards them). But I'm sure that anyone who isn't Asian / Muslim has a fair chance of fitting in my family.

I definitly say go for it if you love someone. I am half hispanic and have american. I dont care if you marry within your race or anyone that is not your race. If you love them you love them.
Posted by: kimjaydot Jun 15 2007, 04:53 PM
Nothing is wrong with it as long as you love them
Posted by: Flair Jun 16 2007, 06:24 PM
Most likely you are generalizing the race as a whole as "acting a certain way", because obviously EVERYONE is different.
Yes, I know. We are all different, yadi yada. It doesn't matter. Number one, I wouldn't dare date ANYBODY whom I KNOW is going to cause friction in the family. Prevention is better than cure.
I won't throw myself into a fire if I know it's going to burn me ... if not kill me.
Posted by: Arjuna Capulong Jun 16 2007, 11:14 PM
Wouldn't having an Asian and a Caucasian have a baby, creating a new "hybrid" race, actually increase diversity? (Taking it back to that discussion about diversity.)

Yes.

Isn't there enough diversity? Scratch that. If I'm going to have kids, I'm not going to be thinking 'I must increase diversity'. Bull. I'd rather think 'My baby must be loved' and all the shit mothers think about.
Anyway, if marrying someone from a different race suits you / makes you happy ... sure. I'll pass.

i dont think that there is anythign wrong with interaccial marriages. but if there were two guys that were exactly the same except for the fact that one was of my race and one was not, i would choose the one of my race. simply because things would be easier with family. it would be better to communicate and stuff. but someone falls in love with someone that is not of their race, then i say go for it. race, religon, or anything else (like disability) wouldnt play a drastic role in my life. but i will be factored in because i also would like to thing of simplicity.

I see nothing wrong with interracial marriages....well it is probably because i am like 6 different races myself.(father is 3/4 korean and 1/8 italian and 1/8 german my mother is black, irish and native american). i don't think race should matter when it comes to love or marriage or really anything at all
Posted by: N3RDYY Jul 24 2007, 12:11 PM
Yess! Anywho as i stated before im all for interacial dating/relationships/sex.

in the end, the majority of people won't give shit if u support their relationship or not
it may not be ur personal preference, but why not support them? i don't get why anyone wouldn't
Posted by: Sandraaa Jul 24 2007, 02:31 PM
Why should I support them? I have nothing against them, I'd never judge them hell I've dated outside my race for a large part of my life but now I'm older, I don't think it's the best thing for ME to do. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT.
I could care less about whom you date. Really ... dude, I is not racist.

Like most people i agree with the concept of like whoever you like , race shouldn't be a matter.
My Family is of Hispanic descent and my cousins , and siblings have all mixed children. We have Irish ,Italians , Polish , Puerto Ricans , Ecuadorians and Spaniards in our Family and it hasn't been a problem to anyone. I mostly dislike pregidous people.
Go mixed people !

Interracial marriages don't bother me.
I think it's cool that people bring different cultures together.
Plus, interracial kids are good looking. ;]
I mean, it is somewhat unusual to see, but this isn't the 1800s anymore.
It's the 21st century. Things have changed.
Posted by: Sandraaa Jul 27 2007, 01:41 AM
Ok Ok, this is getting really boring. Almost everyone is for interracial marriages. So it isn't much of a debate rather an opinion giving thread. 
Posted by: tripvertigo Jul 27 2007, 01:35 PM
Does anyone want to actually have a real debate about this, without repeating that "if you love someone, it doesnt matter what color they are?" Because I'm ready to go.
Posted by: Steven Jul 27 2007, 01:38 PM
I could take the against side (despite being for) if you want to debate it *shrug*
Let's see.
It ruins diversity. Gets rid of individualism. Integrates cultures and as previously stated makes things less diverse. Man not too much to argue on this.
People won't fully understand the other culture, which could lead to hardships, misunderstandings, and unrest.
People could be more loyal to their culture than their partner and do things beneficial for their culture at the detriment of their partner.
Posted by: tripvertigo Jul 27 2007, 01:39 PM
Ok, Im more than willing to be for it in an intelligent manner.
Edit://
Give me like an hour though, I've got some stuff to do at work first.
Posted by: Steven Jul 27 2007, 11:49 PM
I'm waiting 
Posted by: tripvertigo Jul 28 2007, 12:03 AM
f**k, sorry i forget about this thread.
Yes it ruins diversity but is that necessarily a bad thing? IMO, it would kill off things like racism and prejudice if everyone eventually came under one unified "beige" culture.
People would also be healthier for it, because they would eat foods from across many different ethnicities rather than be stuck eating one kind of food all the time. Therefore you would have a more balanced diet. For that reason, trade would open up world wide, therefore effecting the economy drastically.
As for a more personal level, yes there would be harships getting "used" to your partner's culture, and being accepting of it, but your children would have a lot more stimulation than a "purebred" would. Stimulation, in the sense that instead of learning and being influenced by one culture, they would be influenced by two. They'd have a leg up on the other kids who for the most part are only exposed to one culture and heritage, and this also includes education and knowledge of both cultures, like different lore and religious perspectives, and not to mention language
(feel free to call me out if something i posted didnt make any sense. im on the phone with an intern from work as i type this so im distracted.)
Posted by: Steven Jul 29 2007, 08:46 AM
But if we became one "beige" culture, who would we blame for all the worlds evils and use as a scapegoat?
We already have cross-culture foods. McDonalds has asian salads, taco bell has authentic mexican food, pizza hut has authentic italian pizza. Thats Europe, Asia, and America right there, plenty of culture for one person!
I think this is the only part I could respond with a decent argument.
Eventually, however, the cultures would start to become more and more alike. When all the cultures started to merge, so would their ways of life and their ways of thinking. The different ways of thinking, which could be highly beneficial in worldly issues and problem solving scenarios, would eventually non-existent.

That is a good point, however I don't think culture or ethnicity has been the dividing factor for different ways of thinking for a long time. Now, I would probably say it's religion, location, or generation. A guy from texas is always going to be a guy from texas, no matter what ethnicity he is, and we al know how those texans are.

I have nothing against it, but I prefer to stay within my own race/heritage. It just makes things less complicated.
What if we all come to the point where there are no more people with blonde hair and blue eyes?

LOVE is NEVER wrong
So why are there so many failed marriages in America?
Posted by: N3RDYY Jul 30 2007, 12:35 PM
because people rush into it, because people cheat, because people lie and steal, because people are evil, because were human.
Posted by: MaAssIsWOW Jul 30 2007, 12:37 PM
So why is it that its only in America? Where other places like the UK, Germany, China, Japan, etc... all have high rates of non failed marriages?
Posted by: N3RDYY Jul 30 2007, 01:03 PM
^^ hmm i think its because we eat alot of fast food...
plus in other countrys women are inferior to men. men have the right to beat and abuse, also divorce is not an optionfor many of them because of laws or maybe religion...
Posted by: brooklyneast05 Jul 30 2007, 01:05 PM
a surprisingly good point
Posted by: MaAssIsWOW Jul 30 2007, 01:06 PM
Well, I'm pretty sure British women won't tolerate getting beat, but yeah, I do agree with the main message you're saying. Which is also why im saying that love is not a necessity. It's not going to carry you all the way.

Posted by: 1angel3 Jul 30 2007, 08:53 PM
Another reason divorce rate is high is because people get lust and love mixed up and divorce everytime they come across a problem instaed of handling it.
Posted by: jackie13xo Jul 30 2007, 09:52 PM
i guess because too many stupid people rush into marrige for rediculas reasons like using one another for money , housing , security.
MANY people in america don't take marriage seriously anymore its disgusting how people get married and then divorced a year later like thats normal. sign for ireconsiarable differances and bam thats that your done.
but back on interracial love , i dont think your skin color should matter at all if you love that person with every inch of your heart then nothing can even come close to pulling you away from your own happiness.

Love is Love.
When two cultures collide, and learn from each
other, and the 2 peoples off springs are what
they learned from each other, and they put their
values and beliefs because of their love into that
child...
that's just beautiful.
love is love. that's it.

But can anyone else at least propose some ideas that could be debated as to why interracial marriage is bad?
Posted by: LovelyObsession Jul 30 2007, 10:21 PM
^ I would think that it would be bad because of just family diffrences
and i'm going to say something now, that might offend people.
This is just an example:
Asian people (older people), usually think that black people, or minorities steal. Recently though, in some parts of the countries, you would see asian girls with black guys, and I'm sure that their parents wouldn't agree (from the Asian side probably..but they make really cute babies, not gonna lie). So I think that would be a negative, because it would split you from your family
Posted by: Sandraaa Jul 31 2007, 03:26 AM
Family issues; getting disowned, parents not attending weddings ...
I could come up with more but I'd be a raysist.
Asians ARE minorities so wtf?
Posted by: Steven Jul 31 2007, 08:20 AM
I could come up with more but I'd be a raysist.
But that will all pass in time. Any issues outside of family? All that will pass with time, imo.
Actually.. Asians make up more than half the world's population, and Orientals make up about a quarter of the world's population. Asians are minorities in certain areas but as a whole, they aren't.
Posted by: Sandraaa Jul 31 2007, 09:08 AM
In my family, it won't. I'd be the outcast with the bizarre kids, the one who spoilt the family name. The disgrace, the laughing stock. I could go on and on.
My opinion about interracial unions are quite, well, different. For instance, there are races that could pass in my family and others that are a no - no.
Interracial marriages cause too much trouble. Also, it doesn't quite promote the diversity everyone's fishing for.
Posted by: 1angel3 Jul 31 2007, 02:08 PM
That's is because of movies. A lot of movies portrays black people to be gangsta and steal a lot and ghetto. And they're just stereotyping.

Families aren't always racist. My family isn't racist. They said I can marry whoever I love regardless of race.
And if the family is racist, that's their problem and they chose to get themselves into it. Don't blame interracial marriages; blame ignorant people.
Posted by: RogueVanity Aug 5 2007, 05:59 AM
In my opinion, race shouldn't play a part in love whatsover..
I think everyone's raised a valid point, about the family issues etc.
But I find it hard to think of a reason why interracial marriage is such a bad thing. Some families may have strong beliefs on who they need to marry, and we should respect that. But to me, nothing should get in the way of love.
All in all I'm all for it..
Posted by: VaeVictis Aug 5 2007, 06:09 AM
There is absolutely nothing wrong with interracial marriage. =/
I don't understand how people could say there is. Yes, there are different cultures, and sometimes the customs upheld by those cultures can conflict with each other, but that's no reason to dislike interracial marriages - stuff like that can be overcome.
Posted by: LoveDanceSoul Sep 6 2007, 05:26 PM
Interracial dating is fine in my opinion. It wouldnt destroy diversity either. Its not like every person is going to date outside of their race, and there are also tons of different races that will blend. IF anything, there would be more diversity because there would no longer be just a set group of people. Look at the crayon box for goodness sake. It all started with Red, Yellow, and Blue. Then there was red, ORANGE, yellow, GREEN, blue, and PURPLE. Now there are tons of variations of different crayons. Also cultures wouldnt merge, because there is no set culture based on race. If you went to a school, you'd see preppy, punks, artsy people, hip hop heads, and so on. Love has no color. 99.99 percent of us wouldnt be here today if there wasnt wany interracial dating and marriage going on. No one has a pure white or pure black or pure hispanic background. Also the whole argument about blonde hair blue eyes not existing anymore...Just because its a recessive gene doesnt mean it wont occur anymore. There are tons of extremely fair skinned black people that arent biracial, where did they come from. What about my black friend who was born with fair skin, blonde hair, and green eyes? What about my Afro-Brazilian friend who was born with blue eyes? What about my black mother that was born with green eyes and red hair? Where did they all come from?

I HATE when I hear an parent or a peer saying
"I only date white people"
or any race in particular.
because first of all, that is sort of racist and secondly it limits your choices.
what if the perfect match for you is a different race that what is acceptable to you!

Not against it for others and I've even been in one. However, I prefer to date black men. No evil stares from nosy people and I dunno...I just love my culture and my people.
Posted by: Uronacid Nov 9 2007, 09:41 AM
Hell, I prefer to date people who are about 25% Asian, and about 75% some other white skin (Holly). I guess it's just close to home for me. I mean, my mom and dad were white. I love that little bit of Asian. I don't know. It's just perfect for me.
Would it be morally wrong for my future daughter to date a black man? No, it would not. Would I be skeptical if my daughter dated a black kid? Yes, I would. He would have a lot of proving to do before I accepted him. Truth is, I can't help but feel that way. I don't trust black people as quickly as I trust white people. It sucks for them, but that's just what my life experience has taught me. I can't help the way I was treated by black people through-out the course of my life. I obviously don't believe that all black people are bad, but I can't help being extra cautious when they are around.

I think it's just fine. If I had a son and he was dating a black girl, I wouldn't mind. As long as she wasn't rude, bitchy, or stuck up. But, that goes for any race.
The people in my family are REALLY against it though. Sometimes I want to bring in the biggest meanest black guy I can find to a family function just to see how they would act.

As a Black person, I don't disagree with what you've said. The only reason I find it hard to comprehend is because over here, Blacks are calm. The people who cause damage are the Arabs / Turks. Muslims in general.
Putting myself in your shoes and replacing Blacks with Arabs, I'd definitely not accept my daughter dating an Arab. Not all Arabs are f**ked up, VERY true but most of the ones I've encountered are.
If this makes me racist, then so be it. But I don't think I'm a racist, rather judgemental. There's a huge difference. I have my beliefs, I don't go around insulting every Arab I come accross, I just try to stay away as much as I can.

Posted by: benedictkenny Dec 11 2007, 06:48 PM
I think, that's actually what's really important to realize here.
Just because someone is my race, doesn't mean that they are more likely to share my values. In fact, certain interests/values that I have, might be, *gasp*, more prevalent in a race that is NOT my own.
Maybe I'm, of some race that is a minority in an area, however, going to school/co-existing with these people, I absorb more of their values and senses of enjoyment than, well, the people of my skin color, from a different area.
According to some of the people's logic here, however, I should limit myself according to race, for no good (but only for completely non-beneficial, arbitrary) reasons, seeking people I can't identify with, but, well, somehow, them being the came color as me will, well, be of some ultimate good, or remedy to the fact that I can't talk with this person about anything at all.
Huh?

I guess I can see where you guys are coming from, but I just find it very sad that you guys have such narrow experiences that are like that. Sure, I've met some "off" people and the majority of those people turn out to be hispanics and blacks, but at the same time, I know and recognize so many blacks and hispanics that are nice, normal people that it overrides any experiences I have.
I guess I'm also not very judgmental when it comes to race. Sure, I make stupid jokes sometimes, but when it comes to actually judging a person, race doesn't even factor in - I'm more likely to be swayed by excessive facial piercings and tattoos or what somebody is wearing rather than care about the color of their skin.

So you're too lazy to steal? Interracial marriages sicken me. People should stick to their own race. If we all engage in interracial marriages then we'll lose all diversity and sense of identity on this wonderful diverse planet we call Earth. God created communication barriers so we would stick to our own people and each one of us could excel in our own rights. We each specialize in something and without that specialization, the Earth is going to become a living cesspool.
To top things off, interracial marriages will eliminate the superior gene pool.

I am all for interracial marriages. I find it stupid, that the women in my family really want me to marry a black girl although they won't come out and say it. Well my mom doesn't mind, but the rest of them are hell bent on it. I think that the ignorance level in todays world on this subject, is rediculous.
Posted by: BrandonSaunders Jan 22 2008, 08:43 PM
I was never raised to be prejudice against any race, not in the least bit. When I was younger, I was partial to women of my race because of the elimination of cultural differences. As our society progresses, the main barrier of today's marriages is the financial background.
I could be with a Black woman, who was born into a wealthy family, and at the end of the day, we may not see eye to eye on certain issues. At the same time, I could meet a White woman who has been raised the way I have, in the blue collar sense, and we just may click when it comes to our goals for family life.
We're all bastards at heart, race doesn't matter.
I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable reading through this thread and noticing how many members who have posted are a bit weary of, not only befriending, but dating Black people. It is borderline insulting, actually.

I totally agree with you. I think that people have this big stereotype of Black people that is just plain bullshit. Like the other races don't have their own underlying issues. I sometimes get a certain racist undertones from reading some of the people's posts in here. All I can say is people stereotyping others because of their race, is only making themselves look even more ignorant and close minded.

I'm all for interracial marriages. I'm aware that some families like to stick with "their own kind," but what I don't find right is how some kids are actually forced to date/marry someone based on race, just to make their parents happy.
Plus some people of mixed race are sexy.
But of course, there are people who are prejudiced in relationships. For example, to say you "love" someone just because they are (let's say...) japanese, is superficial. And really, you don't love them; you're just a bit obsessed.

Posted by: achimongus Feb 16 2008, 07:45 PM
This is a topic that I just recently became interested in, because of my recent boyfriend...who is mixed. (Black/white)
Before I met him, I had never thought twice about it. My parents never said anything, so I just assumed that I could date whomever, because love is supposedly put above everything else to them.
But when I asked my mother if I could date him, (I always ask for any boy), she freaked out! She claimed it was just 'not right'. We have 'different views'.
To me, no matter what my parents think, interracial relationships are perfectly fine...as long as the two individuals have the same beliefs. My boyfriend and I have the same religion, same political views, and only differ on the small stuff (the music, animals, colors...xD dumb stuff). Our major opinions and views are the same.
As for the diversity thing, I agree with what someone said earlier about the crayons. (this was so far back...sorry I can't quote it). You have blue and black crayons. Dark blue and light blue had to come from somewhere....and light blue is my favorite color C=

I dated a filipino. Hot stuff, but he knew it and took a lot of liberties that weren't given to him.

Sure, it would be difficult for a Republican and a Democrat, but to me, it`s only something that shouln`t define a relationship. Imo, it should be something minor and not so explicit.
Posted by: CapCaDancer Feb 21 2008, 10:12 PM
I agree with that. Political views not so much.....religion, though, is a huge deal. I'm not religious at all...actually bordering on atheist...and I wouldn't want to marry someone who was a devout Christian. Maybe if I was 100% out of my mind in love with him, it would work out, but I wouldn't go to church.
Does anyone here live up North? Is it a lot different up there in the interracial relationship department? I'm from the deep south, and it's not so good here. People are still really harsh when it comes to acceptance. I'll have to start a topic about that some time.

love is colorblind.

I feel love is definitely one of those things you can't control and you like whoever you like, whether they are outside your race or not.

definatly, I think not marrying the one you love because of their race is stupid. Who really cares, we're all people. My parents think that me having sex with a black man is like me having sex with a horse. Its stupid to think like that-we'd get along better without descrimination.
Posted by: pandora Feb 22 2008, 02:02 PM
I don't have any issues with marrying someone outside of my own race, but i can see why others might.
I know my parents want me to have pure-bred Vietnamese kids (even though that's ridiculous because I'm mixed to begin with.) They've tried to arrange marriages for me in the past, and I really was not having it. I don't like dating within my race anymore because most asian guys I've encountered were ridiculously chauvinistic.
I think there's a stigma about birthing biracial children into the world because the world is a really really f**ked up and cruel place. I think most people don't want to put their kids in the line of fire.
Me? I think my blackamese kids will grow up tougher for it. I can't have four pansy ass Vietnamese kids sitting around the house all day.
Posted by: DoubleJ Feb 22 2008, 02:11 PM
Blackamese ftw! I agree, that interracial marriages are totally cool. I look at what I have learned, and I know that I want to have an interracial marriage. I am sorry, but black girls are just too much sometimes. They really don't understand how f**ked up they really are, and have to be right 110 percent of the time.
Posted by: Tamacracker Feb 22 2008, 02:22 PM
I dated a filipino. Hot stuff, but he knew it and took a lot of liberties that weren't given to him.
Mature Black guys seem to really know how to take care of their woman. I like that.
What does their race have anything to do with how they take care of their responsibilities? o.O

Stereotypes/generalizations exist for a reason. Are they absolute? No. Do they seem true more often than not? Yes. That's why they're stereotypes/generalizations.

We already have cross-culture foods. McDonalds has asian salads, taco bell has authentic mexican food, pizza hut has authentic italian pizza. Thats Europe, Asia, and America right there, plenty of culture for one person!
I think this is the only part I could respond with a decent argument.
Eventually, however, the cultures would start to become more and more alike. When all the cultures started to merge, so would their ways of life and their ways of thinking. The different ways of thinking, which could be highly beneficial in worldly issues and problem solving scenarios, would eventually non-existent.
Fail. Can't believe you guys missed this. I nearly pissed my pants laughing reading this.
Cause you know... sweet and sour sauce with mandarin oranges makes anything asian. Taco Bell also serves Authentic mexican food such as chili cheese burritos, gorditas, and meximelts. /sarcasm
ANTI! We would be less diverse and our culture would be watered down.
On a side note: If a japanese person and a chinese person were to hook up... they would produce a Jinx. See now how would the world benefit from a Jinx?

It's different when you don't mind a person of a specific race, like in general as a peoples.
But you do care if they're mixed into your family. (considering the topic is about interracial marriages)

Yeah but you shouldn't judge a person automatically by his race/ethnicity/origins etc... that's just foolish. And to hate another human because of something that they can't control... that just sucks.
Posted by: HoodNigga Mar 28 2008, 11:51 PM
Well I'll put it like this, if I had offspring I would rather them be with someone that will treat them right no matter their race, as opposed to someone of the same race as I am who treats them horribly.
I've actually heard of circumstances like these. I know one case where the parents didn't want their daughter to be with this black guy and so she turns around and marries a white guy and the dude beat the mess out of her.
Posted by: Teesa Mar 29 2008, 12:27 AM
i'm all for it. i'm indian and just absolutely cannot see myself with another indian man.
even though my parents think it's going to happen, i can assure you, it most likely will not. and my parents aren't racist, but i know that there are certain ethnic groups that they definitely "prefer" over others 
Posted by: BadCraziness Mar 29 2008, 02:01 AM
People should have the freedom to do whatever they want, so long as it is not infringing on anyone else's freedom or human rights.
Interracial marriage doesn't do either of these things, and it brings two different cultures together. Sounds fine to me.
Posted by: Rhianann Mar 29 2008, 06:42 PM
Someone back there mentioned a lack of diversity. I don't think that will ever happen. Your culture is more than just your skin color or ethnicity. Where you grew up helps shape who you are. Color is just a built-in sunscreen. I see no harm in mixing. A lot of people call themselves african-american. That always bothered me. Africa is a continent, not a country. I'm no expert, but there are a lot of countries in Africa and I bet they're pretty diverse from one to another in culture. That would be like me saying I'm causasian rather than german and scottish. Why do people intermingle race with country? I guess my question is are we talking about race here or what country a person's ancestors come from?
I know a lot of families want to keep their gene pool "pure". I don't see that as racism necessarily. Not in the true sense. I think love has no color, and it's sad that some people marry someone who isn't their soulmate over something like this. I never look at color and could care less what race they are if I date them. I agree sometimes family can make things hard. I have no color preference. I love Denzel Washington just as much as Robert Plant. Sexiest men alive if you ask me
Posted by: brooklyneast05 Mar 29 2008, 07:04 PM
how are african americans supposed to be labeled according to where in africa they are from when we don't know. i guess you missed the memo, but we pretty much had all our culture forcefully stripped from us. so i don't really have the privilege of knowing where my ancestors are from specifically.
lol. you desperately need your consciousness raised about some things.

Your ethnicity is German and Scottish.
Posted by: Sulfur Mar 30 2008, 11:40 AM
Is a white guy from Africa considered African-American?
We all know here I'm not drawn towards Oriental Asian women. Doesn't mean I don't think some are pretty. I'm currently dating a Paki girl, and my family has no problem with it what so ever.
I tend to be drawn towards brown/desi women, for their exoticness. Hispanic girls are in second place.
Posted by: Tamacracker Mar 30 2008, 12:49 PM
No.
If he was born in Africa (assuming his white ass is from British decent) and most likely from South Africa, then his nationality would be South African and his ethnicity would be whatever the hell made his cracker ass a cracker ass cracker.

its whats make us human being "SEXY" give us different traits.

plus some interracial couples make THE CUTEST babies. (:

East Coast and West Coast doesn't seem to be a big problem when it comes to mixing. Central United States however is another story.
When it comes to the rest of the world, I can see countries which would mix quicker than others. (UK, Canada, etc.)

Posted by: imkatiekate Apr 10 2008, 01:08 PM
I am white. I was married to a white guy. I am currently dating a black guy. So obviously I think it's fine. I have friends (black and white) that have interracial children. My 3 and a half year old son is from my previous marriage so he is white, too. He has friends of all kinds of ethnicities and backgrounds. He did ask me if we were black. It gave us an opportunity to speak about race and what it means. My family is from Vermont as well as my ex-in-laws so it's a very close minded place with little to no diversity (from my experience). I want to teach him that people are not their race or sex or ethnicity, they are what's inside. And I think thus far I have been able to do that. I personally dont think my interracial relationship will have a negative effect on him because it's healthy. My ex husband and I fought and argued a lot and it was extremely volatile. I dont have that this time (and wouldnt be in such a relationship again). And no, I do not plan on having more children, not because of the race issue.
Posted by: heartquasm Apr 11 2008, 07:14 AM
Hm. Going by natural selection, traits that are most likely to help an animal survive and, more importantly, reproduce are the ones that are passed down through generations. So, if the world truly does become mixed, the best traits of every race should prevail, meaning that... our great-great-great(x100)-grandchildren will be beautiful and smart as shit or something to that extent, right?
So really, I don't see why interracial marriages are such an issue. We should spend more time worrying about how to stop stupid people from reproducing.
