I wouldn't discrimate against someone because they're a different race. What's important to me in a mate is that we share similar beliefs and values. I think that's much more important than skin colour. My parents, however, think that I shouldn't date a dark guy because of the social issues surrounding inter-racial relationships. I think that's stupid. If I love someone I love them. As it is right now, my family's Germand and my boyfriend is French/Ukranian. Neither of us are hard-core into our cultures but they still affect all sorts of aspects of our lives but it's so not an issue that we've never even really discussed it much in our two years together. My parents are fine with our realtionship, but I know they wouldn't be if he were black. I've tried to make them understand that race, or skin colour shouldn't matter, but they're old school Germans so they don't get it. It's okay though because by seeing what they believe, I have formed my own opinions and I have learned.

Sure. If I liked him and he liked me- then why not? No harm done.

I would most definitly date someone outside of my race! I think that a lot of people of other races are so beautiful! If he likes me and I like him, race doesn't matter at all.

Yes I would date some1 out of my race I have and prolly will again.. I don't judge people on their skin color. Nor should I be close minded to people. I have lots of friends thats parents would disown them for dating outside thier race.. Which I think is pitiful and disrespectful.. U can't judge one race by whut one person does.. Its wrong.. plain and simple.. And I know many people you could talk to till ur blue in the face and they wont change ur views.. But i just overlook those people as small minded people..

Sure i would....! all of my exs are from otehr races. They are either white/black/asian/ whatever u have in mind.. ( well i only had about 6 exs.. so not all of them.. yet..) Neway.. i think its great to date someone outside your race. It broadens ur horrizon my mom said... lol... and plus most of their moms cooked delicious food... so i got to taste teh different flavour that each culture have. I think that if the guy is nice/sweet as hell/and really respect me for my personality.. then y not? skin is only your flesh.. it will rot when u die, but your happiness and good mind/soul would last forever.

Of course I would! My last boyfriend was black (Im white) and it wasn't a problem at all. Its whats inside what counts, and love has no gender, age or race. Everyones different, and its incredibly racist if you dislike people or wouldn't have anything to do with them just because you don't like the race as a whole. EVERY person is completely different and it doesn't matter what race someone belongs to, its the person inside what counts

Yep,definitely. Some of the cutest (and sweetest!) guys are different races. I have to admit, though, that I'm generally not attracted to asian men. I felt so terrible, my mom was introducing me to an intern at her job, and one of the first things I thought upon meeting him was "She didn't say he was asian..." Ah! I felt so bad. Love, ~The Kitten~

Sure. There certainly is no problem with dating outside your race. I mean, does someones race determine their personality? No, not at all.

I would definitely date someone out of my race! Race really means nothing to me, because your personality defines who you are. Most of the Caucasian guys in my school (I'm black) would probably never date a girl from another race, but one, I don't know if its definitely true or not, and two, if it is, it's their loss! When this one girl and guy from different races were going out, everybody was talking about how they had "jungle fever" (I didn't even know what that was until they told me!) and everything! Sorry, but could they be more ignorant?

I would date someone outside my race--but I don't think my parents would be really excited if I married someone. In fact, the only guy I've gone anywhere with is darker-skinned than me. (I'm not sure exactly what race). I honestly don't think it matters, and as our generation takes hold, these stereotypes will start to dissappear. At least I hope.

Hm... I've never dated any1 IN my race. hmm...
I've said it in other posts, people who are restrictive are just afraid of what they don't know about. I think its much worse outside of cities but I know many friends who have parents who are not from the US and want their children to date only people of their race.
The cultural differences aren't a big deal and not only do u have a friend, you get to learn.
If a person is nice, so what???

^^Yeah, I have to say... I just don't understand this mentality. Not to say I disagree with it...I just don't get it. Can someone explain to me why some think that inter-racial dating is bad? Love, ~The Kitten~

I can't explain it, because I don't see it myself, but I'll try to give you the point of view of other people. A lot of my friends aren't allowed to date out of their race. <br> According my friend, "In an interracial relationship where a child is born, it has no where to fit in. Blacks hang out with blacks and share their cultures, whites hang out with whites and share that culture. A biracial child would just be confused."
Not the best reason, obviously. I generally find myself attracted to caucasian guys, though. Why? Because I go to a mainly white (boring) school, where everyone is a cookie cutter of everyone else, living in identical houses, sharing the same culture, etc. There's only a few people from the Middle East, but it's hard to get to know them, since they don't speak English that well. I can name about three African-Americans in my school, one guy which I actually know, and like only as a friend. <br> That's not to say that I could never like someone of a different race, I just haven't met anyone right. I've only met one African-American guy that I was attracted to, but he was a friend's friend's brother, so I'll never see him again. <br> ~Lisa

Whi-iite Pe...op-le? Haha, we don't have any of those at our school... what 50% azn? n'way I think thereare only about 25% whites, lol >>According my friend, "In an interracial relationship where a child is born, it has no where to fit in. Blacks hang out with blacks and share their cultures, whites hang out with whites and share that culture. A biracial child would just be confused." << btw, its obvious ur friend ahs never KNOWN any1 multi-racial. I think it would be more difficult to be multiracial outside of a city, but my friends like that are not lost or confused at all. Oh, and as for certain races staying with certain races, that's true to an extent (duh, u hang out w/ ppl who have common interests) I think ppl are just afraid of what tehy don't know *shrug* ur friend's loss Then again, i have no white friends xcept for Kittenette, lol: "Xiè-xiè ni" Amtrak *edited b/c i can't spell Mandarin

I would for sure. I'm not really attracted to guys of my own race. I go to a school where there aren't that many white people, and all my friends consider being white a bad thing. They say that I don't act like a white person, which is good... I guess. Thats why I don't like white guys, even though I am white.
