As long as they're happy, everything's good

I do not particularly care for it, but some people are just too judgey and judge everything. everyone has their opinions, but oh well
My aunt is in an interracial relationship and they're incredibly happy. They've been married for 12 years now.

And also, "race" is 19th century pseudo-science. Everyone came from Africa. Our ancestors were hunter-gatherers, so they travelled a lot, and created settlements wherever they went. Their features evolved over time to adapt to that particular climatic conditions and environment. Fun fact: blonde hair evolved in sun deficient climates so that the body could synthesize vitamin D more efficiently. Also, around 10,000 years ago people were known to have only brown eyes, a mutation that later happened in an individual caused some people to have blue eyes. People with blue eyes share a single, common ancestor. In short, race is a social construct. Its a human invented classification system to define physical differences between people.

They're a couple: simple as that. I don't even consider them "interracial," because why put a special title on people and whom you choose to love or date?

It's the 21st century folks: why do people still make a big deal out of interracial couples? The only people that do, are typical the ones that have an issue with it. Everyone else just sees a couple.

And yes, I've dated outside my race and it's never been a big deal for me. If anything, it's usually the other person and/or their family that has an issue with it.

Couples are couples. Some are right together and some aren’t.

Usually the only time race plays a factor in a relationship is concerning the family members.

My cousin is white and his last serious relationship was with someone who was black. And her mother hated my cousin, and her mother’s boyfriend kept trying to assault him by instigating fights.

I doubt there’s usually anything other than romance or love being seen between two people who are together. But in the eyes of family members I think they have the potential of becoming judgmental.

Basically Romeo & Juliet.

People should just love the person for their personality not because they look like a certain person. So I don't care everyone should be free to love whoever they seen fit as long as both parties aren't trying to abused the other I say let love be love.

SecretsofKB · Answer

I don't think of them any differently than I do of any other couple.  I just hope that they are happy just like what I hope for every other couple!

SteveSmith1985 · Answer

I think they're great. Usually I enjoy debating. In this case though... anyone who disagrees can suck my interracial balls. :)

MCheetah · Answer

Who cares? Let people be with whoever they want.

And damn, The Weeknd is (was) dating Selena Gomez? I didn't know that. They'd make like the most attractive anti-social, awkward, secretly insecure and shy couple ever.

I actually think it's really cute and sweet because they've got past there differences and are taking interest in one another's cultures. It makes me smile when I see interracial couples because It makes me think "wow look how far we've gotten as a society now that's it's seen as perfectly normal for people from different cultures and races can relate and show each other love from were society was at only a couple few years back"

Lliam · Answer

What's to think about? People are people. They are allowed to interact with and love who they want. Race is irrelevant. We are all one race: the human race.

readyplayer001 · Answer

Aurora1010 · Answer

All those couples in the pictures look cute and happy to me, especially 4,5, and 9. My opinion is that race doesn't matter, I don't think those couples think about race when they're together or not so much at least.

Livewire3 · Answer

That they have probably faced a lot of challenges from daily judgmental passerby's, and good for them for finding happiness in each other despite those challenges. Not dismissing less apparent struggles.

lightbulb27 · Answer

Its ok, I think about it for 2 seconds then it's more a question to me of values and culture and personalities... how they work things out.

But that one couple... the interspecies of cat/human... I really question that.

pickedcrisps · Answer

They have the same odds of getting divorced/breaking up just as much as same-race couples / same sex couples.

They're not any more special in terms of relationship longevity than anyone else's type 😀😐

Rachel794 · Answer

I love them because it shows beautiful diversity in a relationship

t-8900 · Answer

Any woman who exchanged hearts with me, is all I need. I just want to be loved and held. Why does it matter her skin color if she's there for me when it matters?

ShaTTeredMasterpeace · Answer

I think that the way some people fetishize mixed race children is really weird, but other than that I don't think about them at all.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

I am the product of one and am in one myself. There is nothing wrong with it. People who make a big deal out of it are the ones who tend to be obsessed with it or opposed to it.

wankiam · Answer

cosmicallyinclined · Answer

i care about them the same amount i care about other couples; i don’t. but good job bringing out the undercover racist/troll GAG users

jshm2 · Answer

Nothing. I don't think about interracial couples. It's as pointless a thing to ponder for me, as worrying what others are ordering at a cafe.

FriendlyDrugDealer · Answer

I’m in one and I don’t really have an opinion on them

BCA6010 · Answer

Don't care. If they're happy with their relationship, then they are doing well for themselves, and good for them.

DarynCarlson · Answer

I have been in long interracial relationships. I'm white and women of other races are so hot to me.
