dating diffrent race....

There is nothing bad about interracial relationships, in fact it is good for the human race because it increases genetic diversity. But aside from the technical aspect, children of interracial marriages can live normal lives. The arguments provided by bigots don't mean a thing when they are raised in a caring supportive community.

Let's see, I just searched through a small part of my family tree and I see I have relatives named: Ikeda, Bigler, Lee (not Chinese), Boswell, Tibildi, Weisholz, Langhammer, Ehrlich, Alvarez, Bladwin, Payne, Rosario, Corman, Resenhoeft, Young, Siebert, and more. So does this make my family gay loving, interracial hugging, and feminism-extremist? I don't think so. No one in my family tree fits that description. What has held this family together is social values and responsibilities, not racial purity.

Until the day this spinning piece of cosmic dust gets tossed screaming into the sun, there will ALWAYS be people who are racist and/or purists.

Am I one? I like to think I've outgrown any of those inclinations that I was exposed to during my life. My own father is quite loud about the way he feels about his "neighbors," and if I'm in the arguing mood, I'll get in his face about it, otherwise I have to ignore it and chalk it up to stubborness and plain stupidity.

People are people, IMHO, period.

I personally would love to meet someone from outside the US to hook up with (in the middle of a divorce now). I know that a different culture can be a HUGE obstacle to overcome when getting married, but as long as your willing to try, and you both love each other, that can be done with a little effort.

That guy was a racist and a purist, and he was an idiot thinking he could get on the internet and not be exposed to other cultures and ideas. If he wants to lock himself in his closet and play with only his grey army men, but not he green ones, fine; I just wish he'd do it quietly. Me, I like walking around with my eyes wide open, drinking in all of this world's diversity.

Well, we all like exotic things and whatnot...

Hmmm, I personally think nothing wrong with inter-racial marriages, since that's the way the world is headed anyway. Would I personally ever marry someone of a different race? I don't know, personally, I highly doubt it since I'm mainly attracted to caucasian women, but you never know...

I personally don't really see the problem with dating people of different Races.

Relationships, when you get down too it are about the person, not the color of thier skin.

I have had a lot of experience in the area of interracial relationships and particularities and this is my opinion based mostly by these experiences. First of all, as many people know, from a genetic point of view it is very beneficial to come from as diverse of a gene pool as possible (within the human race at least). I personally am the product of 8 great grandparents, each from distinctly different regional and ethnic backgrounds. Being a Canadian, I think it is much more common to come from such a diverse background therefore, although I cannot be easily identified as coming from one specific ethnic background, I have never had any problems whatsoever with being the victim of any kind of racism or related bigotry.

That being said, there may indeed be cases where I would consider not having a child based on race. It is a sad fact that there are still some regions that promote ethnic purity and the reprocutions of such propaganda effects entire populaces. I personally know some other Chinese who share the same view as the man who was quoted earlier, however, I should also note that China is a VERY diverse country with sociological views that vary greatly from region to region. While I am aware of some areas still being very racist and purist (especially in the inner country regions) this is not the case in a lot of other areas of the country. This is the same in a lot of European countries as well, especially amongst those who want to "maintain their noble lineage, even if it means engagueing in other acts such as incest". In many cases, this is the result of old political and religious propaganda that still remains in certain societies. I would not want to raise a multiracial child in such a setting mostly because of the simple fact that children can be cruel, especially when their parents teach them racisms.

On another related note, based on my travels and time spent living in Japan and Korea; as a Canadian, I do have issues with dating women from those regions. This is not because of a colour issue, but because of a social issue. Not having been raised in either of those countries, my idea of responsibilities and general common sense differ from their definition of such. As a result, I am not saying that I will not date women from those regions, but rather, it is less likely as I am very aware of the huge stresses cultural misunderstanding can pose to a relationship. I firmly believe that such a relationship requires two open-minded people that are very dedicated to their relationship. This hardship can however be overcome ahead of time if the visiting party grows to understand, adapt, and accept the local culture, but this can be a lot more difficult to do than some may think. For example, while I was studying at a University in Japan, I learnt how to interact in a socially acceptable way with my Japanese classmates and friends; however, there were some cultural differences that I STILL cannot overcome or accept. One such cultural issue is the requirement to act (as far as I am concerned) overly polite to the point it is rude, even when it will hurt someone. If I accidentally did something socially unacceptable, rarely would anyone tell me, they would usually just smile and tell me it is OK (I would hope that at least my closest friends would clue me in sometimes, but that would be rude in their eyes). I would have a hard time working in Korea where in many companies, it is considered very rude not to go out and drink with your fellow workers until every night at 1am. I am not criticizing the practice, I am simply unwilling to conform to it despite being what I believe to be a fairly open minded person. While I may get love struck and marry someone believing that I can overcome these cultural differences... well, let's just say marriage is for a long time and small issues have a chance to become really big in a lifetime.

Mira Craig is a mix of several races, isn't she beautifull?

Here's something for ya, a human, is a human, is a filthy freaking human.
Dahhh, I'm simple.

This sounds very much like the gay marriage thing. I'm fed up with that topic and I'm sure I'd be fed up with trying to talk about this one.


I date someone of a mixed ethnicity, a vast mix in fact. She's fine. I'm pureblood and I'm fine. So no real biggy.


I don't support gay marriage or inter-racial marriage.......................................... .................................................. ................................
But, before you all go bitchy fit and gay crazy on me, I am not against it either.

I reallly just don't care. So deep throat that and choke on it.
