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. |

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

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. |

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. |

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.) |

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.

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. |
