Interracial Relationships, ignorant people these days... Options

[acidophilus]

Yeah, I'm currently in an interracial relationship, and I can barely get through a hallway without hearing some kind of remark. 90% of the time it's derogatory. Sometimes I feel like socking one of them. You'd think people wouldn't care so much these days what with nearly everyone trying for the "ghetto" persona. (Hence one of the reasons why I love her, she's one of the few that don't try to be "ghetto," and she acts nicely and everything) Have you ever been in this situation? (Note: I am NOT going to break up with her, so don't think that's what I'm asking)

[TheSilenceInDict...]

It's actually pretty common where I live (Los Angeles, California) so I really haven't had any trouble dating someone of a different race.

[acidophilus]

I live in a pretty large place (Miami, Florida) and yet I see racism. From so many people. Not to mention homophobia.

[silver-rain]

eh, i live in nyc, and people here are pretty tolerant. anyways, i don't see anything wrong with interracial relationships. in fact, my last relationship was interracial (i'm asian, he's white) and no one had problems with that. i guess you just have to ignore them, and its good that you're not gonna break up with her because other people think its wrong.

[goofipinay]

well try askin one of the ppl why he/she's even talkin bout yall!
most ppl r mixed so...ionno..
i dont think im helping...

[*autumn.*]

if it doesnt offend you, what races are you and your girlfriend?

here, white and asian isn't uncommon, neither is black and white. however, black and asian is uncommon. i'm just curious.

[Shattered_Hope]

honestly....u get remarks because of jealousy probably...yepps..how they look at you and they see that yur closerthey tend to be negative....in my pov anywayz.

[smile4me]

dang.
its really..common here. im "dating" a caucasian..and im asian...

[xj_liana_tx]

its like the controversial between gay marriage thing.. its how just that ppl rint ready to accept the new society yet. i mean in ancient greece, ppl compete in olympics naked, and homosexual is a very common thing.. ok i m not tryin to make this into another topic, but well just go with wat u feel like, its just peer pressure.

[*autumn.*]

interracial dating is nowhere near as controversial as homosexuals.

[XaZnX07]

um yeah its fine i guess and i dont see why people would say nething bout it i guess people are Guse stupid

.:tonY:.

[xquizit]

Well, I'm a filipina who loves black men and have been dating black guys since I was in middle school. Of course I get criticized, judged, insulted, looked down on, you name it, by black folks and asian folks alike. I've been called many names including "whore", "slut", "tramp", "bitch" because "a black man would never date outside his race unless the girl was easy" and that "an asian woman who dates outside her race is ashamed of her heritage and is a disgrace". I don't care what these people say because they are just being ignorant. I know who I am and I know that they are wrong about me, and that is all that matters. I am a confident, classy, strong, and proud filipina, thankyouverymuch.

[LittleLulu]

personally i have nthn against it... u kno if u hade babies they wud be mixed....n mixed ppl r HOT! haha lmao.

[SSJ Kenshin]

There's absolutely nothing wrong with any type of interracial dating. I'm a black guy, and I've only dated one black girl. The others were White, filipina, and Indian, respectively. I got most of the same stuff you all got, but quite frankly, I don't give a damn what others think.

[adnilamila_fe]

i'm in a interracial relationship rite now. i'm asian and he's half mexican and half white. but so far, we haven't had any negative remarks about us, i think (though there were some rumors spread about us when we first started dating) but there are some positive..like for example that we're a cute couple and stuff. but neways, just ignore those mean and rude people. they're probably jealous cuz u two make a very cute couple. it doesn't matter wat those people say. the only thing that matters it that u like the girl and you want to be with her.

[acidophilus]

As I said, I am NOT breaking up with her.

I'm Cuban-Armenian and she's African-American.

[xbladeoffire90x]

haha you guys are probably very very cute ^.^

ignore the oens that make the comments, make friends with the people that don't

and it sounds like you like her for the right reasons, i see why she likes you to, lol

[WhiteLotus*]

[I]It's so hard in Los Angeles to find a white guy. Like...85% of he population is eiher hispanic or asian...

My bf's Hispanic.

[Winter]

I know what you mean. I live in a multi-racial country in Asia and yet you still get looked down or scorned at if you're dating someone outside of your race.

I'm Chinese and I've dated white, Pinoy and Korean guys before.

I don't think this is the matter where you're living but here, interracial dating is an issue because of religion. I'm not dissing any Muslims okay but there's this rule or something that says you can only marry another Muslim. So if a Muslim wants to marry a non-Muslim, the non-Muslim will first have to convert to Muslim. Most conservative parents will not allow such a thing. This is just an example though.

But I say screwwhat everyone thinks. If you love her you should be with her.

[*Weird addiction*]

haha,im blaq and has neva dated a blaq guy,im not just attracted to 'em...white and blaq aint wierd,but blaq and asian...ppl would talk bout dat,like theres this chinese girl in my school dating a portugez,jezus its soo horrible cuz she gets insulted evri day!!

[*jooleeah*]

Actually, no, I haven't been in an interracial relationship. But, I have er....some advice. All I have to say is ignore them. They're just being pathetic losers for making fun of you and putting you guys down.

[Just2CYouFall]

Well its not pretty comman where i live, no body cares what color they are as long as they love you back! Well all i have to say it dont listen to other peoples coments and go with YOUR heart!

Yea, i live in California and it's entirely common here. I have a boyfriend of a different race too and no one has looked as us strangely or made any sort of racial remarks. Some parts of the U.S. just arn't the same tho, so it's really hard for others to accept you if they arn't used to it. i agree to the other people on this board and say to ignore them. If you truely like each other a lot, other's opinions shouldn't matter all that much.

Just gonna say that they aren't "affecting" me at all for the final time.

I just feel like punching them sometimes to shut them up.
