Is dating someone of a different ethnicity a problem for you?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

I do have some racial preferences, but I could probably date someone from any race. Though for marriage & children, my preferences are stronger (I'm younger than my acc age). This will sound very bad (this is why I'm anon) but as a white person I think for that I would prefer another white person, or an ethnicity that is close to white. I'm afraid to have visibly mixed children, especially half black ones. I don't want to have children that will have it harder in life, that could experience racism, that won't really belong to either side, and especially with white nationalists vying for power and racism really coming back in the west in general, it's best to have kids that look white or even better, are full white. Adding to that, I also perceive 70% of the black & latino population as being poor and more close to crime as a result, so less options. For arabs and indians, I perceive them as being often being sexist and potentially dangerous, and too macho, as well. For Asians, I see them as too often being more racist, toxic, judgmental than whites, the men are often pretty short and scrawny, and their societies are very toxic and actively discriminate against half children. This could be racist on my part though, I've mainly only been around other white people, I could have internalized stereotypes. Though in theory I could have children with any race, but I think it would be harder for me to want to get serious with someone of another race especially if they don't share the same culture as me.

No I don't have a favorable view of certain ethnic groups.

I don't care about their ethnic lineage as long as they are fluent in the English language.
I might have a problem with their culture or religion, though.

I once went out with the cutest, sweetest, nicest, most adorable Mexican girl. We worked at the same place. She invited me to her house one day for lunch and she went to the trouble of making a special, home-made meal of pinto beans, rice and tortillas just for me.
I don't really care for beans and rice unless they are just side dishes.
She lived in a Hispanic neighborhood and lived with her parents who were very traditional. I think they were legal immigrants and she was a first generation American.
Even though I like Latin American people and had no problem with her ethnicity, I realized that our cultures were too different to make lasting partners.

I would never be in a relationship with a Jew. They have issues and their culture is too weird.

I would never date someone who was devoutly religious or locked into "traditional" culture.

I've done it ever since I was 14. Lost my virginity to a Native American girl, first long term girlfriend was Mexican, first kid was with a white chick, then I moved to Japan... tons of Asian chicks 2 longterm Japanese girls, then when I came back to the states I'm currently with a Blasian chick. I'm white... and I like to colonize.

I judge people by personality and not ethnic background, but I do care about their ability to speak English and communicate in English using traditional English phonemes, and grammar. I am not attracted to language differences and do not want somebody that is not native to the English language. People who speak poor English can make great friends but I will not date them.

My guy is English, same as me. I just don't "fancy" anyone else. Of course, I don't dislike people of other ethnicities

emeraldsaphire · Answer

Well I'm technically mixed race even if I don't look it and I'm married to a white guy. So I don't think so. I've mostly dated white people, but I've gone out with a black guy a few times and an Asian women.

If there was a problem it would be cultural.

No. My Parents are from different ethnicities and my Partner is also from a different ethnicity. My Parents have been together for +30 years me and my Partner have been together for 4 years and we hope to make it to +30 years like my Parents. Coming from different cultures was never an issue.

White, Hispanic, and Filipina are the only ones I'd be interested in. Most others are unattractive to me.

msc545 · Answer

Not at all. I've dated a lot of Latin women and although their family customs were somewhat different than what I was used to, they and their families were a lot of fun, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Petermorgan343434 · Answer

No. Personality and being a decent human being is paramount in finding a partner, its hard to imagine that some folks would rule out a partner based on ethnicity if the natural chemistry is there, and they are decent human beings.

OneViewpoint · Answer

Nope. Just be female and attractive to me and a good person.

slatyb · Answer

How different? I'm not religious and don't date believers.

Anonymous · Answer

Noooo
It's actually better then my own ethnicity...
Only don't force me to become religious or support some political ideology (I already have my own, leaning towards left, and many parts of communism)

Xawyx-2 · Answer

As long as she's my type of girl, it's not a problem at all.

Anonymous · Answer

It's not a problem per se. But we still have to have things in common. So I'm not going to date her being a different ethnicity or not if we aren't like minded.
