What color is your skin? I ask because it's predominantly more steriotypical for "dating outside of your race" to be associated with a black person dating a white person, and Australia/England/Germany are steriotypically white areas.

I don't see a problem with it. I believe that one is supposed to love a person based on who they are and not what they look like. Sometimes (and I know this doesn't apply to everyone), I think people feel like they have no choice but to date within their race.

I've never been attracted to anyone of my own skin color, but it's more of a coincidence that I noticed rather than a choice. When I looked a little closer at my attraction patterns, it was happening because the personality type that I am most commonly attracted to doesn't often occur withing my own race. My mom used to fight me over the fact that I was never attracted to guys of my own skin color, but after debating her over why it mattered, she let up severely. She couldn't find a legitimate answer.

It's not a bad thing that people date within their race, either. I just don't think that people should be intimidated into it, or ever feel like they don't have a choice. Nobody should be shamed over who they love.

I don't identify myself by my race, anyway, so it's the easiest for me to accept others, compared to the rest of my family.

I'm white, but my boyfriend is as dark as a New Zealand person.

People who say hey are against it its usually a culture thing or a religious thing. I've heard arguments that because God separated the races, it should stay that way *facepalm* facepalm.gif

but I'm ok with mixed relationships. You can't help who you fall in love with. Though, I do despise the term "mixed." or to say your kid is "mixed." It almost sounds like its a bad thing or you are putting down the people. But thats just me

I agree. I mean, why should love be restricted to how you look? It's just notfair. Sae goes for same sex couples and so on. I think everyone should be granted the freedom to decide themselves who they want to be with.

But... If someone does not like it because of religion or something o the likes and isn't totally hateful, Iaccept that, too. As long as he or she does not pick on the people who still do it.
That, hower, happens far too often.

And besides, look where that seperation of races has brought us in the past. *coghWWIIcough*.
Yeah.

I understand that some people may frown upon racial mixing. However, I believe that skin color and heredity doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Racial mixing is what makes America what it is, after all. (I'm American, if you haven't noticed. XP)

Oh, and not sure if this was brought up, but people with dark skin are like that so they are protected from the sun and less likely to get sunburn, since these people usually originate from somewhere near the equator. Discriminating people for the way they were made/evolved is very wrong. Which also brings up that all people are created equally, regardless of skin color.

This guy is awesome. Makes me think of Martin Luther King, JR. God bless his soul. (Contradictory with another topic I posted in, wut.)

When it comes to dating, it doesn't matter you race you are. The only important thing that matters is that you're happy and willing to try something new. I was once approached by a person of different color, but I declined. Not because of my family views, but because I just didn't have any interest in her. I mean really... I wonder why all my relatives are one color. If I had shown interest in her, I would've gone for it just break the chain.

On the subject of family views, I say ask them about it. Don't rush the conversation, but listen as much as you can if they're willing to talk about it. If you strike the right nail, they'll probably accept it. Racial matters are a sever issue in our society due to history, but that's just it. History.

There's nothing wrong with a White dating a Black. Nor a White dating a Spaniard. Nor a Spaniard dating an Oriental, and so on and so forth.

I personally don't see why it would make a difference to anybody outside of the relationship unless they were racist.. Why would it matter if two people came from different cultures? If you like a person then you should be able to date that person regardless of their background. :P

There is nothing wrong with it! Anyways we share AT LEAST 99.98% (I think) with other humans...there is no such thing as race-ethnicity, yes-race, no! We all originated from Africa, so we are all African technically! awesome.gif except for the fact that we look different.

First off I'd like to say I used to be from two 'different race' parents but the US government decided hispanic wasn't a race any more... dry.gif

Second, I think it is terrible. It makes genetic studies so hard. Since it is so morally wrong to do genetic testing on humans we (scientists) have to simply take samples and when samples are impure it makes the results impure and hard to make conclusions. I mean, recently I read a study on a Tibet population that was inconclusive since the people had only been there for a few hundred years and the scientists could not account for migration and such. It also means that when people have too many variables different from each other we can't tell if it is A or B or C etc. that is causing the issue if there are numerous differences. If the differences are fewer it is easier to tell these things. Overall if the human population continues to mix these studies will become harder and harder... people should just stay separate!


(p.s. that was totally being silly and don't take that seriously... I was trying to come up with a reason why it is bad... though my information is technically true/valid. This is not to be taken seriously/not to offend anyone)

Oh and we share 98% with chimps and with each other is 99.99% or more... so does this mean we should be allowed to date chimps XD
And yes diversity is a good thing genetically (for health reasons not for studies though :p)
