If most people are still having problems with interracial dating/marriage, then everyone should just stick with their own race right?

[AutisticLonelyWoman]

Let’s be honest and frank, most people prefer their own kind and it does make sense. Not a lot of people like mixed families or relationships. I personally don’t care who I end up with as long as the guy treats me right. The only problem is that my family is against interracial relationships. Not everyone is but most are. One of my cousins is married to this amazing woman and has four beautiful children but his parents (my aunt and uncle) and most of our family disowned him because…. she is black. I mean what does that matter? She’s a lovely lady and they are missing out on their grandchildren’s lives.
He is white and she’s black so what! My family is white (Caucasian). Anyways my first boyfriend was Latino and my family didn’t like that but that wasn’t the reason we broke up. They liked my other boyfriend better because he’s white. He treated me right until he dumped me. The guy I was seeking is half white and half Native American and my family went ballistic. After all that, I am just stick with Caucasian (white) guys for now on. I’m sticking with my own race. For you own sakes, it’s probably better if you dated or married your OWN kind. Sorry but it’s true.

No offense but I'm not surprised to see that your uncle and your aunt disowned your cousin. It's really sad and ridiculous!

I think it's easier to date and/or marry within your race. It avoids a lot of problems. However, we can't choose who we love, so it's a little bit complicated... :/

I'm black and I'm mostly attracted to white men. I'm already thinking about all the crap that I will have to deal with if I end up dating or marrying a white guy. I would love to fall in love with a black man, but it seems that my heart doesn't agree with me. 😭😭😭

[AutisticLonelyWoman]

So you’re saying that we should all just date our own race? Not that it’s a problem. Like you said, we can’t chose who we fall in love with. So you don’t blame my aunt and uncle for disowning their own son because he married a black woman? He doesn’t care

[menina]

No, I'm saying that it's easier to date within our race. I can't control other people's lives, so I can't tell them who they should or should not date.
Yes, I blame them because they should accept and respect their son's choice. But it's good to know that he doesn't care. At the end of the day it's his life, so he's free to do whatever he wants.

I've been in an interracial relationship for over 5 years. My mom has been in one for almost 25. I've never run into anyone who opposed us, and my mom has run into few or none after having lived in many various states. Interracial relationships are very accepted in the US.

It’s less a hassle by family members and people staring but if you like the person and are attracted to them then it’s you that has to live with them not everyone else. I was married to a black woman and most people didn’t care except for my stepdad but he got over it after knowing her, I’m divorced now but it had nothing to do with race. For some reason my own race was never interested in me, I only got attention from black and Latina women not white woman

Race is a 17th century pseudo-scientific theory to define humans by physical appearance. It is a defunct concept yet a widely followed construct. It is a convenient way to divide people into tribes that are easier to control by the political overseer class. There is one race, Homo sapiens.

My family has never had a problem with me dating interracially, which I do sometimes

[slatyb]

Like all relationships, some interracial relationships are happy and some are not. There's no "should". Success will largely depend on the emotional maturity of the partners.

[AutisticLonelyWoman]

Yeah that’s true

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Have you ever heard of Neanderthals?

You know why they went extinct? Because they interbred a lot.

The ones who bred with us, survived with us and we carry their genes to this day.

Tell me at least, one logical, biological reason why SHOULD we stick with our own race strictly?

[DermalPunch]

No, people should just stop caring about bitter bigots and their useless opinion.

[AutisticLonelyWoman]

Thank you! It’s pathetic!

[BoopBoopBeep]

I would disagree that "most people don't like it." Most people don't give a ist who you marry where I'm from. Sorry you live in some backwater isthole. Your racist parents do not reflect society as a whole.

[sheikalana]

What about mixed raced people? I'm mixed raced myself which race should I date according to you?

[AutisticLonelyWoman]

Does it matter? Date why you want.

[LiamJHayden]

Nope. If my best match happens to have far more melanin in her skin that I have, those people not involved whi disapprove can go kick rocks.

Put simply, love < ignorant opinions of others. 😊
