I don't disagree with other people's dating choice as far as race is concerned. I personally do not seek from different from race, I will make a few exceptions if he was the one, I'm more worried about their culture and belief systems not colour of skin.
I really do hope by the year 3015 people will become more open and accepting of other people's choices. Whether it be their sexual orientation or who they are dating. I wonder how many of these people who made the rude comments to those couples are actually miserable themselves?
I've had a few comments thrown at me and my choice of boyfriends from both sides. I live in Canada and it's a very diverse country especially in (province) Ontario, (city) Thunder Bay. One of my boyfriends being an Aboriginal Indian his family and friends kicked him off the reserve for dating a whitewoman because "whites" stole their lands in treaties rights which was in the 1800s. We were spat on, called white trash and all she's with you for is your status card, free loader and he was called a dirty Bogan, nasty squaw, wagon burner. We couldn't come between family despite our feelings for eachother but this is a fight that will never end.
Oh yeah.. I'm only together with my girlfriend since a few weeks now and since I'm open about it, I can't count the times people just started laughing and said shit like "Oooh, yellow fever", "Why do you date an asian?" (like that's apparently the worst thing ever) or "Ew, so you're a lesbian then." - like seriously what's wrong with people and this need for commenting on other people's partner choices like it's any of their business?
We are, thank you! I actually don't really bother with the closed minded & ignorant that give comments like that but yeah your mytake just made me think about it and realise how I even get it a lot 😕
Much of this doesn't surprise me, White girl/black guy and White guy/Asian girl relationships are the most common interracial ones, but also seem to be the most "despised" ones by intolerant people.
And I'm going to be honest here and it won't go down well, but a lot of black women and white men complain wayyyy too much about their own race dating outside or other races not dating them. I see too many black women obsessed with the "swirl" idea (ex: "This girl needs some white dick! HMU!" on Tinder) and too many white guys think that they should always be given first choice in the dating game for white women.
I will say one thing though, it's remarkable us humans went form stoning those that dated interracially just a few hundred years back to it now being legal and "normal" in modern society. Actually if it weren't for interracial marriage centuries ago, we wouldn't have Latinos around. Latinos are a mix between European and Native descent, and most Latinos in Latin America are that mix. So we would be missing millions of people and new cultures if it weren't for it.
I disagree, I'm black Abe white and I do not care who black men or who white women date It's usually mostly white men who feel they are entitled to first pick of women of color
To me, my fellow black girls complain because society makes us to be the least attractive race. We're almost always picked last and not many guys have a preference for us. That upsets them and they take it personally when one of their own chooses someone of another race. That's just my opinion though.
However, you can date who you want and don't worry about what they say. I personally don't care about it. Lol, most don't but there's a few who do.
I will be honest with your myTake. I am not racist, but all the white girls in your myTake look like ugly degenerates. That's probably the main reason no white men chose to be with them. So they took the liberty to choose from other races who seem quite happy with a white woman (probably they would have never gotten a white woman in their life if it wasn't for them) !!
He's speaking sense believe it or not. Most white women usually wouldn't date outside their race. It is a lot of the ugly ones that no-one wants that get desperate and open their legs for anybody. Or the old slappers nobody would look twice at. There's always some foreigner with no standards at all willing to pump them
Then you'd be wrong. You don't speak for the other white guys. Just because your dick didn't jump doesn't mean that NO other white dick wouldn't jump. You foolishly assumed that it might be the main reason when other reasons are just as valid and your explanation holds no credence due to the fact that it holds 1) bias 2) would have to be determined by the individual white guy which you do not speak for.
@bluenose1872 Completely idiotic for you to assume that you know what most white women want.
@RationalLioness I don't need to reinvent the wheel for every topic I comment on and i don't have to talk to every individual. I live amongst mainly white people and I know a helluva lot of them. There's a thing called a consensus. If it rains 5 days out of 7 you can call it a rainy week. I know the moods and attitudes of my own race. In general a white woman goes with a foreigner it's because most white guys wouldn't go near them coz they were probably whores or ugly. They know foreign men are easier and like they say any port in a storm. Does it annoy you that I burst your bubble? That its not all rainbows and ponies? Get real darling this is a hard world. People don't get out of their seats these days unless there's something in it for them. Black men fuck white women in general coz they hate white men. Foreign men fuck white women coz they've heard they're easy and might be a ticket to an easier life. White women sleep with foreigners as experiments mostly. A box to tick.
I don't agree with being hateful to interracial couples or throwing insults their way but I just don't get them. Me personally I don't think I could ever date outside of my race. (black) It would take a lot and I mean a lot for me to even consider it. With the way the world is going now I just want a strong black man to build a legacy with. I just don't think it would mean as much if I did it with any other race. That and I love my black men :) Obviously people can do what they want I won't insult interracial couples as honestly I don't care enough to. It's irrelevant to me.
Wow. Never gave this a thought. I mean, my husband is British and im Ecuadorian. I do see people sometimes stare at us... Sometimes not in a good way. I never gave a thought of the. Stuff they might say about us. Its so pathetic that people can be this ignorant.
Me and my wife are an interracial couple. (I'm black and she's white). I have received backlash from my own family because she isn't black. Kind of sad tbh.
Thank you for your Take. It's hard to hear, because I've heard of some of these before. Why are people always so negative and wanting to know someone else's personal life? It's none of their business. If the couple is happy and in love, that's what matters.
We live in the same society and people do not want their nation to be destroyed genetically. Their children and grandchildren will live with the rest of the children and continue to destroy the people through confusion. We do not want to turn our home into Honduras, Brazil, Paraguay or Ecuador. Some still have normal instincts and a desire to preserve their kind.
I know that when I dated a black guy (white girl here), we got so many nasty looks from other black people. Not so much from white people, but the white guys at school would always ask me if his dick was big or if I was a night rider. I was actually stopped on my way to the locker room once by a group of black girls who sized me up and just let me go with a flat, nonplussed, "You're pretty." I never even met my ex's mom because, as he said, she wouldn't approve. As for my current boyfriend (who is a racially ambiguous Latino), if anyone has commented on us, it's always been in Spanish. The most comment I've gotten from white people is my papa saying that I should be careful because "Mexican men don't treat their women well" and this older massage therapist who shared with me how she "loved cinnamon men back in her day" XD
My fellow black women are insecure because society always makes us to be the least attractive race, so they feel the need to be defensive when ever they see black men with a woman of another race. Just in my opinion.
Don't let that bother you and do you. Love is love after all.
I will date anyone I want whether they're white, black, Asian, Indian, Irish, Purple, etc. Skin color does not matter at all, I wish that people would get over this already, because we all are the same species, HUMAN! Date whoever you want and don't care about what people think because any love is beautiful. I wish more people would see this.
There is no single humanity. We are species and all different. You are a hypocrite. Why are you talking about skin color, you know that there are many differences. Races may have the same skin color as Europeans and northern Mongoloids, but they are still different. Even in the pictures there were Asians and Europeans, but you are still hypocritical and say that it is only the color of the skin. The lying leftist pervert. By the way, if you are attracted to a partner with a different skin color, this sexual perversion is called heterochromophilia.
I was back in the UK when I was with her, and I suppose where I was more more tolerant than not, but intolerance exists everywhere, so why didn't we hear any racial slurs or whatever as we were about.
I was told by my friends about how people felt about us either.
Huffington Post really does my nut in with this kind of stuff anyway...
No one has ever said anything like that to me. I know my husband's sister-in-law has said something, and that's about it. I'm from a very diverse family from the get go, so race doesn't matter to us. My husband's side is a little different, but they still gave us their blessings.
Most people have been super accepting. Most my boyfriends have been white. I’m a conservative gal and come form a conservative family who wants me to be happy and with someone who treats me right and who I treat right.
Sure. People judge people no matter what. But fuck those people.
A lot of people thought it was fucked up how I dated my best friends brother for a while loved him. My best friend was happy for me. I dated my brothers best friend. My other close friend dated my brother for a long time.
Some we’re jealous and it was not their place to say anything and called us all kinds of names.
I am not against dating within my race but most guys I been with have been white and for the most part everyone’s been super accepting.
This was a beautiful thing to see. I'm black, and my boyfriend is white. We've been together for six months now. When we first got together, I got the dirtiest stares from black men while in England, when we travelled back home together, we got continuously stared at by white people. Funny enough, the white people in my hometown never had the guts to do anything besides stare so OBVIOUSLY. However, while I was in the UK, no one thought we were actually dating, they guessed; Roommates, best friend, even step sister but, they always seemed so shocked to find out we were in a relationship.

That is your choice. :) and I'm glad you think that way.
I really do hope by the year 3015 people will become more open and accepting of other people's choices. Whether it be their sexual orientation or who they are dating. I wonder how many of these people who made the rude comments to those couples are actually miserable themselves?
We'll all be dead by then, so in a way your right.
Yeah, and we can start all over.
I've had a few comments thrown at me and my choice of boyfriends from both sides. I live in Canada and it's a very diverse country especially in (province) Ontario, (city) Thunder Bay. One of my boyfriends being an Aboriginal Indian his family and friends kicked him off the reserve for dating a whitewoman because "whites" stole their lands in treaties rights which was in the 1800s.

We couldn't come between family despite our feelings for eachother but this is a fight that will never end.
Oh, I'm sorry. That's horrible. I thought Canada was pretty accepting but I guess not.
It's reality, live with your bad choices.
Oh yeah.. I'm only together with my girlfriend since a few weeks now and since I'm open about it, I can't count the times people just started laughing and said shit like "Oooh, yellow fever", "Why do you date an asian?" (like that's apparently the worst thing ever) or "Ew, so you're a lesbian then." - like seriously what's wrong with people and this need for commenting on other people's partner choices like it's any of their business?
People are like that unfortunately. It's sad. I hope you and your girlfriend are doing okay.
We are, thank you! I actually don't really bother with the closed minded & ignorant that give comments like that but yeah your mytake just made me think about it and realise how I even get it a lot 😕
Nice take!
I read this article 2 days ago and I'm still shocked. It's sad that there's still people who are so ignorant in 2015, it's unbelievable.
It makes me think about what I would do, if I were dating outside my race and this happened to me.
Thanks so much. I agree. There shouldn't be this much ignorance still existing.
You're welcome, I really liked it.
That's true, some people will never change their minds.
The because it is [insert current year here] argument is always used when people really have no argument.
@DictumVeritas You mean like you, you ignorant prick!
@katiesmuff If the only thing you have are insults, then alas you have nothing at all.

So we would be missing millions of people and new cultures if it weren't for it.
You forgot to add African in the mix for Latinos :)
@dev765 That is true, there is some African mix too.
Most Latinos are a mix of all three but some have higher Native and others have higher African.
I disagree, I'm black Abe white and I do not care who black men or who white women date
It's usually mostly white men who feel they are entitled to first pick of women of color

Considering that beauty is subjective, I highly doubt that EVERY white man who saw them would think like you do.
Grow up.
@RationalLioness But I don't think that "subjectivity" applies here.
He's speaking sense believe it or not. Most white women usually wouldn't date outside their race. It is a lot of the ugly ones that no-one wants that get desperate and open their legs for anybody. Or the old slappers nobody would look twice at. There's always some foreigner with no standards at all willing to pump them

They weren't even ugly to me.

Yes, it is very pathetic.
Me and my wife are an interracial couple. (I'm black and she's white). I have received backlash from my own family because she isn't black. Kind of sad tbh.
Yes, my parents were the same way to me on the low. It sucks that they can't be supportive.
I just cut them off. Nobody will disrespect my wife.
Is there something strange about these couples? What's strange about these couples?
They look perfectly fine to me.
:) I'm glad you think so. That was exactly Prinkley's intention.
Thank you for your Take. It's hard to hear, because I've heard of some of these before. Why are people always so negative and wanting to know someone else's personal life? It's none of their business. If the couple is happy and in love, that's what matters.

Fuck social norms, I will marry/date any race/religion I want.
Good. 👍 (Love your ferret picture it's adorable btw)
I was with a black girl for 3 years, and never had we heard any remarks such as the ones above. Strange.
Doesn't mean it doesn't happen to a lot of people.
Hm. It is. Maybe your area is tolerant?
I was back in the UK when I was with her, and I suppose where I was more more tolerant than not, but intolerance exists everywhere, so why didn't we hear any racial slurs or whatever as we were about.
I was told by my friends about how people felt about us either.
Huffington Post really does my nut in with this kind of stuff anyway...
Wow, were people lowkey rude to you?
Absolutely never.
One of my older brother's is getting married to an Asian girl and he has told me the same.
Damn these are revolting... do people have no shame at all. Judging or telling people who they can or cannot date is ignorance in it's purest form.
I agree. It's horrible.
No one has ever said anything like that to me. I know my husband's sister-in-law has said something, and that's about it. I'm from a very diverse family from the get go, so race doesn't matter to us. My husband's side is a little different, but they still gave us their blessings.
