Did you search before making this topic? Anyways, yeah to some extent it does, i mean, if i shd date someone from this race, my parents'll kill me and besides im not that attracted to them

[bonluvdan]

ya...but i can't find any...sori if similar post

[topsyturvy]

To be honest, a little bit.

[_sarcastic_]

well it doesn't really matter

[ex_multini]

it doesn't matter as long as both can communicate alright with each other

[Nicolatofu]

I don't judge my feelings on someone based on their race. I also think nothing bad of others who date that are two serparate races

[Rachel]

I think there has been topics like this, use the search button =)

And no, race does NOT matter. The heart is colour/age/sex blind

[illuminessence]

In my opinion, I think it's a bit judgemental and closed-minded if you think race matters. We live in a world filled with interracial relationships. I see nothing wrong with it wutsoever.

[jnukes]

No, tha race doesn't matter .. why should it ?

but i PREFER otha asian girls .. heh .. ..

[iliang86]

race doesnt matter in teh long run. if you have feelings for the person...go for it. haha. parents on teh other hand usually have the opposite opinion

[~*Crizzy_Babee09...]

To me, it's between yes N no. It don't really matter though, as long as tha boiz are fine! Lol.

[Shattered_Hope]

No, race doesn't matter...

[mouse_3k]

for me kinda cause I rather have a asian boy...but I mean if not then I guess its a bit ok..

[Litt0_TeeZy]

my parents are against it.

i'm for it.

follow your heart.

[*mona lisa*]

to tell you the truth, it does sometimes a little. you all

[xXirockhardXx]

No, i dont think race matters.

[*Statistik*]

it matters if a black woman goes out with a white man, but if a white woman goes out with a black man i honestly dont give a shit, but since im krn i could care less.

[purestkiss101]

no race doesnt really matter but i prefer black dude..id still date any1 from any otha race as long as they cute! apperience personality and all!

[silver-rain]

Race doesn't matter to me. All that matters is that the couple loves each other.

[sunangel5685]

i honestly don't think race matters. i have been with my boyfriend -who is white, im asian- for a year now and our families don't have a problem with it at all. as cliche as it is, its what underneath the skin color that matters.

[*nightmare4taki*]

I date every race except white girls. Dont get me wrong I like every kind of girl and race really isn't a issue but I live in the SOUTH and I dont want to be found hanging from a tree.

[Skyline Drive]

Race doesn't matter to me. Like someone said above follow your heart.

[Ballpointpencil]

I'd like to say that I don't care about a person's race when it comes to me dating them, but I do. I think I've just been raised that way.

[xBEBE]

Race doesn't matter, it only matters if you guys love each other.

[demolished]

race doesnt matter, its about love, not their looks.

[dani41790]

i dont care one bit about what race they are

[*Weird addiction*]

it matters if a black woman goes out with a white man, but if a white woman goes out with a black man i honestly dont give a shit, but since im krn i could care less.

What the f**k do you mean by that

[bonluvdan]

thx all of u for answering my question.

i don't think it really matters if they love each other and hv no communication problem.

how about white ppl with asian?

[soulless727]

it shouldnt matter and even if it does, it wont for long because in a few generations we're all going to be the same.

[Teesa]

I could personally care less.

[illuminessence]

thx all of u for answering my question.

i don't think it really matters if they love each other and hv no communication problem.

how about white ppl with asian?

I'm filipina. I have a white boyfriend and we are great. Anyways, is white with asian supposed to be different from any other interracial relationship???

[*jooleeah*]

it matters if a black woman goes out with a white man, but if a white woman goes out with a black man i honestly dont give a shit, but since im krn i could care less.

What's the difference between a white woman with a black man or a black woman with a white man?

Race shouldn't matter.

[*mzkandi*]

there have been topics on this...i date who i like, regardless of race even though there are some races i am not attracted too. love has no color

[Rachel]

ps-this topic should be named "Is race an issue or Does race matter" =)

also, jason-you are one of the most closeminded people I have ever come into contact with.

[heyyfrankie]

i don't think that race should play a part in a relationship but you have to take the kids that you could have with your spouse into consideration because you know that some bi-racial kids have a hard life getting made fun of and stuff like that. but no.

[*FreeStickers*]

I wouldnt date a hobbit nor a dwarf.
Hairy feet = ew.

- Solipsist

Race SHOULDN'T matter, but to some people does. Personally, no, if I love someone, I couldn't care less what color their skin is.

it matters if a black woman goes out with a white man, but if a white woman goes out with a black man i honestly dont give a shit, but since im krn i could care less.

wtf is your problem..? How is black woman dating a white man any different from a white woman dating a black man? And what does that have to do with YOU?

[CrimsonSkyGraphi...]

And no, race does NOT matter. The heart is colour/age/sex blind

Yesss. I agree. ^_^ *is part of an interracial relationship right now*

[banthisaccountno...]

No; I don't care what race someone is...
In fact, the person I'm going out with now is a different race than me...

[shortiiex]

i think it does matter a little bit(not trying to racist)...but it matters alot to my parents

[*Statistik*]

Wow. im against this..ok lets put it this way:

A Hispanic Woman Marries A Chinese Man.

They have a baby. The baby's skin will be all mixed and it'll hard for him/her to be educated when the baby grows up. What if he/she speaks chinese well and hispanic terribly bad and hispanic well and chinese terribly bad? Also, this is america. You would have to speak english as well. It'll be really difficult.

[*nightmare4taki*]

Jason What r u talking about? Thats the dummest thing I've ever heard in my life.

[Rachel]

Tell me, how do you speak "hispanic". Also, you really need to work on your sentence structure and grammar rules.

And dumbf**k, many people who already live in America SPEAK ENGLISH. Therefore, the kid would probably learn that before Chinese or Spanish. It really isn't that hard to educate a child about two different cultures. People get married all the time with different religions and races. Stop being ignorant.

Also, nightmare4taki: it is spelled dumbest.

what the hell? you are one ignorant kid. i know many people that grew up with parents of different races and/or cultures and the are the most diverse and interesting people i know. i have one friend who is black and asian. she learned english at the same time she learned japanese. she embraces both her black and asian roots equally

[*Statistik*]

^well not all people are like that.

[eunie03]

He just wants attention... (he's been attention-whoring throughout the forum). Don't give it to him.

He's just mad cuz he's fully Korean and boring.

lol no kidding.
anyways, no it doesn't matter. i see absolutely nothing wrong with it. racism sucks.

OK now you are one closed-minded idiot. I don't even get wtf you were trying to say. There are a lot of ppl born of mixed races everyday who know how to speak English. Who cares if he/she can speak on language fluently and the other not too well? WTF???? You don't make any logical sense and just trying to get you hurts my head.

[bonluvdan]

thx u guys for voting and giving your opinions.

i'm so glad that the majority is 'race shouldn't matter'

yay!

[xquizit]

I date every race except white girls. Dont get me wrong I like every kind of girl and race really isn't a issue but I live in the SOUTH and I dont want to be found hanging from a tree.

triple wtf? does anything you post ever make sense? this post is sooooo dumb that i'm not even going to bother commenting on it because everyone has pretty much said it all already.





Anyhow, of course race does not matter. You can see it in my lifestyle. I interact with people outside my race, build friendships outside my race, and date outside my race all the time. It's a very rewarding experience because you get to learn and experience different cultures and backgrounds and ideas.

[queenofthelame13]

Here's the thing. I don't think it matters at all, as long as you guys have a loving relationship and are attracted to eachother, who cares?!?!

But...(uhoh the but!) if you care what others may think, it may be a problem.
You see, dating someone from another race will subject you to catcalls, racial slurs and other forms of insults.
My friend starting dating a african american and her friend Christie's mom would not let Christie see her anymore.
So, be prepared to lose a few things, but its worth it if you guys are in love/really like eachother.

Race is a matter that does not matter to me. The difficulties come in understanding each other's heritage, way of life or social sphere. Sometimes it can be hard for an asian girl from San Francisco to relate to a Cuban kid from Miami. However, love is love, its universal.

[twelveislands]

It doesn't matter when it comes down to love.
Everyone has a preference though.

[simply_mystikal]

race is completely out of the picture wen it comes to love... but when it comes to parents.. it might be an issue..

[xOx_aGnEs]

i guess to be honest.. to me it does a little bit... my parentz want me to marry a polish guy er @ least one from europe nd yea i guess i kinda agree w/ theyre view.. but i mean i dunt kno i hav never been in love yet

[illuminessence]

race is completely out of the picture wen it comes to love... but when it comes to parents.. it might be an issue..

Meh. My parents can't ever tell me how to live my life, especially who to love either. Some ppl are just really old-fashioned and they haven't caught up with the new generation. Race shouldn't matter no matter what.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

Race doesn't matter to me. As long as we have that special something, it's gravy baby.

Race does not matter. period.

[Angel_Cece]

no. race doesn't matter. i just prefer blacks, but i do date outside my race also.

[HongKongDong]

I really do not get why there are people out there that actually do think that race does matter

[darklync]

what kinda questions is this....of course not its the 21st century....well at least it shouldnt if u r both in love, who cares what others think...

lets say u have this car everyone thinks is stupid, but u love it....r u gonna stop driving it cuz people tell u 2?

*sorry for the lame analogy

[bonluvdan]

I really do not get why there are people out there that actually do think that race does matter

well...i think it shouldn't matter, but my parents strongly disagree w/ it
(although i've never ask them does race matter when loving someone, i could sense they're disagree when talking about similar topics)

[XaZnX07]

naw if you in love nothing should be able to stop you


.:tony:.

[extravaganzahh_]

nahh.

when you love someone you love him/her for who he/she is, not the race nor class status nor age nor blahh.

=]

[to-devastate]

It doesn't matter with me.
Love shouldn't be about race, gender, or looks. It should be about plainly love.

[laur3nw]

No, it doesn't really matter. I usually like the guy for their personality and for who they are.

The quotes Roxanne pointed out were really funny. Those people are out of their minds. HAHAH.

[aera]

when you're in love, you dont care about what race they are. you're just happy that they're them.

[lilconfusedbabii...]

of course not. but asian parents (cough like mine cough) can be racist and say oh you cant date anyone thats not the same race as you. like my parents wont let me anyone that isn't korean.. o_x

[cHuNsAbAbIe012]

no...im korean n my boyfriend is philipino. my parents dont care.

[se[7]en]

no! not at all!

[xXYouMeBedNowXx]

Like so, yes, to an extent. I wish it really didn't that there were very little boundaries when it comes to this, but yes. Same things with other factors besides race. To an extent, certain things can be accepted as tolerated. Age, race, height, even gender.

[*nightmare4taki*]

I date every race except white girls. Dont get me wrong I like every kind of girl and race really isn't a issue but I live in the SOUTH and I dont want to be found hanging from a tree.

LOL, wtf?

That was a joke.

...y does it matter if a black woman goes out w/ a white man? and y isn't it vice versa?
that made me laugh..
but anyway..i live in the "SOUTH" too..and i guess people aren't all up in everyone's grill like that, in atlanta.

I guess its not to bad but there r still some parents to watch out for which is why when I date a girl of another race I just always ask the girl is it okay with her parents before moving further into a relationship.

[illuminessence]

Umm...wut?

[azn_r4pf4n]

I wanna get this out of my head.

In my opinion, race does matter. I'm not gonna explain why but the area I live in and the enviroment I grew up in, race matters.

[bravodancer04]

No, and If you said yes, you`re racist

[xMayleex]

I dont think it really matters, as long as you love them.

[KELLYYY]

It doesn't matter, only if they're human. Penguins, no. Animals, no. Bums, erm, no.

My parents are like yours. They freaked out when I told them I was dating someone Mexican. I tried to talk to them but they still flipped out. So, I made a decision to not tell my parents if I go out with someone. Trust me, it was hard, with all the flowers and gifts in your room while you have to keep the relationship a secret to your parents, it was a pain in the butt.

[baller30]

i don't think it matters, but i am black and would probably never date a black guy and my parents totally understand that... well i'm really white and asian at heart so... i just don't like black guys they turn me off really fast...

if that answers your question

[starlette]

I oficially hate 5 people.


I'm mixed. MIXED. So anyone who has a problem with love out of your race has a problem with me. DAMN YOU. I'm really trying to stay calm without freaking out, but I hate stupid people. I can love anyone. I mean, since I'm mixed, does that mean if I cant love another race, I have to go out and find someone who is half black, half chinse/italian? I'd probably never find love! Does that mean I'm supposed to be alone forever because a chinese person would date the chinese part of me, but since I'm also italian and black, they cant? I mean, love should have no colors you douche bags!! People shouldnt be looking on the outside for love, anyway. And I mean, your parents arent going to be watching you forever, so if they did keep you from dating a race, they couldnt do it once you moved out. Thats so FREAKING IGNORANT!!! ugh. I mean really you guys...I love everyone from every race. Unless a person does something personally offensive to me, I dont dislike anyone. And even if say, a white person was racist to me, I wont turn around and never like a white person. My boyfriend is white, I love him very much, and have loved him for yearsnow. But the first person to ever be racist against me was a littel white boy. Oh, and not to mention that since my mom is adopted, my whole family is a different race then her. They are all german, and she is italian and chinese. So even tho they are a different race form me and my mom, I love them. And love is love no matter if its romantically or family. Why are people so focused on the outside?!?! Love is timeless, colorless...I mean. No one can control it, no one should even try. Sure, if you never talk to a white person, you'll never fall in love with one. but thats your own damn loss. Grow up and stop being so closed minded. Its people like that that are holding the world back. And the moron tlaking about getting hanged from a tree...please get out of the 50's. If you get hung from a tree, that f*cker is going to jail. Period. So I doubt theres anything to worry about. And I live in the south too ya know.

Srry to have offended you but did you not read where I said I was joking. Besides Im one of the 50+ people who said race is not a issue.

[shewasradiant]

no. love is colorblind.

[gOODpIRATE]

love is from the heart, not from the eyes.

if the two people love eachother, no matter how they look, then it is a beautiful thing.

[kryzcoak47luv666]

To be honest, its a yes and no question
If you can connect on that level where the 2 of you love each other, no it's a not a problem.
Love is colorblind, but you have to look at the facts
Races are unique for their culture, and in some cases religion, and that can cause major damage to the relationship if the 2 ppl are not ready for it
I'm in an inter-racial relationship with a latino man, and sometimes its hard because our cultures are so different, yeah he's half white so he's also familiar with the ways whites handle things (that may be taken completely out of context, but I mean like how white culture is, even tho I don't really act white at all), but the fact of the matter is we love each other and those differences make our relationship interesting and we can handle it.
So yes race can be a factor in dating someone, but your heart is colorblind, and race is not a factor in love.

[nevernothere]

I don't think it matters... sadly my parents do... and so many other kids think so too.

[Soleil]

Nah...if you love them thats what counts.

[AsianUniQ]

your parents would most likely disagree because they don't want Black babies. hehe.

If you love someone from a different race, it shouldnt matter...........you'd hate me for saying "BUT!" but.........BUT, you have to consider what you are putting urself through. Remember, people from different race, although we are all humans, have differnt view in life. Lets see, differnet race, could have different religion, differnt views in life, different ways of living. So do you see what you will go through? You both would have differnt ideas about everything because you live through what YOUR race have taught you. Some relationshps wouldnt work because people argue. Some do work, because love is much too strong that they can adjust to their belief. Although, it is sometimes a great education to learn the opposite race. But even though things work out fine btwn you two, parents would always opose to it nonetheless.

[starlette]

Srry to have offended you but did you not read where I said I was joking. Besides Im one of the 50+ people who said race is not a issue.

...sorry. I was on a rant..I kinda cant be stopped. Notice I didnt go back and fix my typos either. With me its somewhat of a sensitive subject...I'm calm now. I'm chill. Sorry for blowin my top, you are cool peoples.

[*nightmare4taki*]

^ Like I said I apologize to you if I offended you and any other person I have offended with that Joke. And theres no need to apologize I shouldn't have made a joke like that.

[Azn_Angel13]

mai parents want me to marry a viet guy when u m older and date viet guys. but i don't see why i have to force maiself into trying to find a viet guy to love. i'll probably marry someone who i luv no matter the race

[mickybeans]

race doesnt matter at all. i find it so cute when i see two different races dating or married (:

[pinayprincess]

LIKE MY FRIEND SAYS

"HELL TO THE F*CK TO THE NO!'' LOL

[i can break]

Race doesn't matter to me; but it matters a lot to my parents. They won't attend my wedding if I don't marry a man of the same race. So my solution is not to get married! Hahaha. Plus, I shouldn't be worrying about marriage anyway.

[Elvis_IzBack]

Its sad if u think it matters, we're all human, we all got feelings, u gotta see past the appearence, its just so darn IGNORANT. You cant help who you fall in love with.


Its a shame, some people in our society still strongly disagree in interracial couples because of 'what theyve been brought up and taught to believe' or whatever that bull is.

[lilliannnn]

NO IT DOESNT MATTER AT ALL
AND IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME I REALLY DONT LIKE YOU

i get teased for this alot.
i've never had a white boyfriend (i'm white)
and i've only kissed 2 white people.

i have nothing against white people obviously, since i am one
but it just doesn't work out with them hahahaa..

[fuzz4]

No race totally doesnt matter to me. I've dated and have had crushes on guys of all races. That goes for religion too. I think having different cultures is what makes a relationship even more interesting. After all they do say opposites attrached

[stolenantics]

no i dont think that matters

[177emories]

it dioesn't matter if you love that perosn... its also about personal desires... i'd rather have someone who is the same racial group as me...

[*Azarel*]

Race really shouldn't matter. It's sad that it does though.
