What do you think of girls if they go out with a different race?

Okay, I have to correct you on something. Black people aren't "ghetto." I must declare that I am a tad offended by that statement. I hate it when people think they have to be "hood" in order to understand a black man. Besides, there are plenty of black men and women that wear "high designer labels."

Anyway, that's beside the point. Matters of the heart should be blind. If you like this guy, then go ahead. Hang out with him. Get to know him. Let him get to know you. Hopefully he's a cool dude.

And why would you be slutty because you want to hang out with a black man? Is it because of the stereotype that all black men are extremely hung? Is it because of romance novels and films that make dating a black man taboo? You wouldn't be a slut because you wanted to be around ANOTHER HUMAN BEING.

As far as your family goes, people need to get out of that 1950 mentality that you should not date outside of your race. I don't mean to sound so harsh, but I am sick and tired of people thinking that a race of people is inferior. You are a woman. He is a man. Bottom line. It isn't like you are trying to date a dog, chicken, or horse. Race isn't even biological. Humans have one different chromosome from each other, and it has NOTHING to do with race. You are a grown woman. Tell them how you feel and how you like this man. If they have an issue with you dating a black man, then I pity their ignorance and close-mindedness.

1. people who think you're slutty simply because you hang out with black people are just dumbasses and racist.

2. ghetto is not synonymous with black people. seriously some people need to stop watching so much BET, we do not all live in the projects, have 3 & 4 baby daddies, and eat gov't cheese. I grew up in an affluent area (my neighborhood is majority black too, go figure) and attended private school for a while. if all white people don't live in trailers and sleep with their cousins, we should also not assume all blacks are ghetto. thanks =)

3. what does high designer labels have to do with you not being "ghetto"? it just means you spend more money on clothes. it doesn't make you any higher, and it also doesn't even mean you're higher class. there are people in the hood with head-to-toe gucci. and paris hilton is a well-known slut and wears designer labels. so obviously the two are not mutually exclusive.

i assume you mean you're not one of the white trash negrophiles who are desperate to be associated with black guys, to the point they let them degrade them. (no offense anyone, but let's be real - you all know what kind of girl I'm talking about!) again, people who are not racist dumbasses will be able to tell you're not that type of girl.

you can't help what people think. there's always going to be someone who has something to say. if you only hung out with white people there would be someone saying you're racist. if you wore all black some idiot would say you're gothic and depressed and a loser. see what I'm saying?

4. as for your parents.you're grown. one day you're going to have to stand up for what you believe and do your own thing.

If you are 18-24 then it really shouldn't matter what your parents think in terms of what you can or cannot do. If your parents, or anyone else you know, is/are prejudiced, then stop listening to them. Some of your comments and comments of the people talking to you are made out of ignorance and don't deserve to be considered.

Nothing to do with you, per se, but I am disgusted by people (especially younger generations) who continue to place such high priority on race as a determination of who a person is. People who do this are idiots and merely regurgitating what they hear from the idiot adults in their life. In addition, when you hear such bullshit, argue it, win your argument and walk away. Inspire those around you to change the way they think.

When you talk to your parents, talk about the guy's grades, his athletic accomplishments, his character, how nice he is to you, etc. Race is irrelevant. If your parents can't see that, well, this is one rule you should break.

Race means nothing. As long as he's human, you're good! I would try to respect your parents' decision tough, at least as long as you're living with them. Maybe explain to them that he means a lot to you, and give them an opportunity to met him as well to see what kind of guy he is.

Okay, you updated your question after my first response. Now it sounds totally different. If it's a parental thing, that's tough. I guess I would say to just work on it as much as you can. Talk to them about it. Have them meet the guy if that's what it takes. Just fight for it, you know? Parents' should have some right to decide who their child is dating, but not if they're basing that solely on race.

Oh, well, if you wear high designer labels.

Seriously, this seems like a really shallow question. If you care that much about what other people think you should just take a poll of who they want you to date and then be with that person.
