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?

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..

ya...wut she said,
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
