Has the average person dated outside their race/ethnicity these days?

[meepmeeperton]

As society has become more socially progressive, it’s hard to believe that dating outside one’s race was once a major taboo. Most people I know have had at least one interracial relationship in their life, even if it didn’t end up working out. How about you?

I have dated outside my race

I have not dated outside my race but would be open to it

I have not dated outside my race and would not be open to it

[Crimsyjo]

This is complex cos so far I haven't dated outside my race and I wouldn't say I'm not open to it. But so far have not come across anyone I'm attracted to yet that feels same back. Sometimes it's language barrier not physical attributes.

[meepmeeperton]

Do you find yourself most attracted to any particular race other than white?

[Crimsyjo]

No I haven't. I can be attracted to various ethnicities and mixed race if they have lighter skin tones. I'm less attracted to the combination of dark skin, black hair, beards and a lot of hair. Like very hairy arms and chest etc.

I sure know I dated and married outside my race and from the answers and pole it would see a majority have done so as well. I seem to have issues with those who think it is not ok or a sin to do so. We are all human beings.

[meepmeeperton]

Have you faced discrimination from people for your interracial marriage or relationships?

[katiesmuff]

Yes there were some, not so much any longer!

I almost always date outside my race. Only have 1 ex from my race.

[meepmeeperton]

That seems somewhat common with Asian women at least in America

[itsannalee]

I am not living in America.

[meepmeeperton]

Ah, guess you’re more unique then.
