I was reading a blog by aliendudeuk and he talks about how black women feel about him dating a white girl in the U.K. and how hard it is to be in interracial relationship, and with reading this blog, made me think about a blog that I wrote while back about how I was scared to date outside my race, and it made me wonder, do people feel the same way as me.
 
Could you date outside your race??
If so, why??
Does dating outside your race make a difference to someone that is of the same race as you different?

    Thanks for the comment. I always wonder what makes someone different because they decide to date outside their race. Recently, my mom is dating a white guy, he's cool, but I don't think of my mother any differently.

    I have dated and married outside my race.  I don't think I'd care if someone of my race had a problem with it.  I believe you love who you love, and if you're honest you will find it doesn't concern its self with race, religion or gender.
     
    Why would you think differently because she dates a white guy?  She is still your mom and that doesn't change.

    yes... i dont see anything wrong with it... its just a different skin color but the same human race...

    I have never did think of her any different before or now, but my grandmother talks about it like it is a real problem for her to do that. And some of my cousins don't like any in my family to date outside their race.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jul 23, 2007....
    That's too bad. (about them having a problem with dating outside your race)  It limits you, which is sad.  People make such a big noise when they talk about equality, but when they encounter it in their lives (via a relative not discriminating on a dating partner due to race) they run to what is familiar.

    As racists as it sounds I've met far to many blacks and latino girls with a lot of attitude.  I actually avoid the females of my own race when given the opportunity.
  • husbandhater said on Jul 23, 2007....
    I married outside my race. My husband is white italian and I am black ,native American etc.,.etc.,.whatever. Is it hard ? YES! Do I give a fuck about what other people think?HELL NO! And me and my husband spend alot of time laughing at other people's ignorance. It's actually fun;~)
     
    I dated my husband and married him b/c he was willing to put up with me and all my crap and take me on with 2 kids while most of the Latin and black brothers were trying to use me as a booty call and could care LESS about my two boys.
    He showed me a love that none of these "individuals" did and I could not pass this up or let this go. Plus he had none of the baby mommy drama(No kids).
     
    Would I ever date in my race again if given the oppurtunity? Why Not? But any man would have to be worth my time black or not! I have a 4yr old who will have to deal with the ignorance of this world with such a mixed heritage. And when he's old enough I'll teach him to laugh at the ignorance,stand proud,love himself and tell all that don't like his mixed race heritage to go F*@# themselves;~)
    Does this answer your question Ms.B?

    I have dated outside my race.  I have seen couples, mixed marriages etc.  I do not have a problem with it.  A person is a person. 
  • mom said on Jul 23, 2007....
    If you limit yourself to what race a person is then you might be missing a chance for someone great.  My daughter and her husband are prejudice against blacks but if I fell in love with a black man, their opinion wouldn't matter.  BUT he has to have a big pecker.

    I dated outside of my race several times in college and had a child with one of the men. It's not something my family and friends have ever had an issue with even though our town is predominantly white. The first chance I had to date outside of my race was when I went away to school and when I moved back, my son was the only black child living in the boro at the time. No one has ever had an issue with it.... at least not to the point where they said something. Actually, I think it was the opposite. Walking with him in town is like following an actor down the red carpet.... every one wants to talk to him and they all just love him.

    I've also dated outside my race...not to prove anything, or irritate any one...just I was interested in getting to know them better.

    I've also not dated outside my race....but not because of his race. In university a guy asked me out. I politely said no. He kept asking...finally resorting to calling me a racist because I wouldn't go out with him!  I didn't take kindly to it. But let's face it...if he believed it, why would he want to go out with me? He insulted me though...so I hit back...telling him I didn't care if he was black, blue, pink or purple, I didn't like him, so there was no way in hell I was going on a date with him! :D

    I have dated women from different countries,but the same race i think. I have  some Asian friends, from various countries,mostly  Japanese though. If I was looking for a wife,I would be happy to marry out of my race,but might be a little worried about the CULTURE. e.g. Mitzi, a young Japanese woman my wife and I know was returning to Japan and invited Jenny and I to her home for a goodbye meal kind of thing. It was easy to see that she had gone to a lot of trouble over the meal,which of course was Japanese. The real deal, not the western idea of Japanese ! I ate it but to my western palate it was HORRIBLE!! Thats what I mean by culture, I could not eat that kind of food. Of course she never knew how I felt about the food, she was so proud and eager to show off her traditional  culinary skills !! (she is a little scornful of "Australian" Japanese food!)

  • botoni said on Jul 23, 2007....
    I have dated outside my race several times and chose a partner outside my race. None of my family had issues at all and MOST of my friends found no problem. I did have one friend who stopped seeing me (us) because he was afraid that he may say something offensive. He admitted he had race issues and made his choice. I wish he could see beyond his racism and look at my partner (former) as just another human. We had cultural issues but those can be worked through.
  • kpossible said on Jul 24, 2007....
    I don't see a problem with it, a lot of beautiful people are mixed races.
  • hotaka said on Jul 24, 2007....
    Well, I'm a white dude from Canada and I just love Asian girls, particularly Japanese girls. My last three girlfriends have all been Japanese and my future wife will be one (present girlfriend). However, I would have no quarrels against dating anyone of any colour as long as I felt a strong emotional attachment to them. There are nice girls and attractive girls in all parts of the world. I guess religion would be the biggest hinderence. Not being particularly religious but somewhat spiritual and leaning towards Christianity I think anyone with a strong religious background would not be a suitable partner for me, or me for her.
  • Zayda said on Jul 24, 2007....
    I have dated outside my race. And, if I weren't already married, and the person I fell in love with was of a different racial background, I would marry outside my race.


    As Mom said, if you limit yourself to one race, then you just might be missing out on someone really great.
  • PassionTraveler said on Jul 24, 2007....
    Sweetsoul, I had a similar situation in college. I'm from the South, 1/4 Cajun, and very white. A very attractive, interesting son of a Bahamian political family was in one of my classes and we worked together on a project. I found him very interesting. We didn't really have a date, but went to grab a quick bite to eat a few times. Maybe on a college budget that constituted a date, but I don't think so. If he'd have asked me out, I would have said yes, up to this one time we were sitting there talking.

    He launched into this entire spiel about how his wife would never have to work. She would stay home and raise the kids. The more he talked, the more the picture of his trophy wife evolved. It was the fact that I didn't want to be anyone's trophy that completely turned me off, not his race.

    Of course, like Sweetsoul, he then accused me of being racist. I'm not opposed to a domestic situation whereby one partner stays home to raise the kids. But back then, it was the last thing on my mind, and I really wanted to develop my career.

    Where I grew up, there were really only two races, Caucasian and African American.

    When I got the Internet, I went culture crazy. I was infatuated with learning as much as I could about all sorts of races and cultures.

    I discovered I adored men with darker coloring. Primarily dark hair, but I do love that cocoa skin.

    But as I always say, it's all about the chemistry. He can be tall, short, thin, fat, bald, or a hunk, and if the chemistry's there, it is far more likely a match will be made. I had a first date Friday with a gorgeous man. He could have been a movie star, and although it was a very pleasant evening, in the end, the chemistry just wasn't there.

    I have my preferences, but frankly, doesn't matter. If the chemistry is there, I'll be happy to take it to develop a relationship.

    I'd be curious to know the races of the other commenters here, those that didn't already identify their race, especially SeanRenaud. ;-)

    Certainly. I see nothing wrong with that. It's never a question for me at all. It's just a matter of accepting and respecting each other's differences.
  • jadestar said on Jul 24, 2007....
    I've tried starting a trend that there is only one race - the human race; but it doesn't seem to be catching on. 13 years of democracy & race is still an issue in SA to some. My daughter is "mixed race". (Wish I could have got the transferance of DNA because I so love my daughter's curly hair.)
    I seriously wish it weren't an issue with people but unfortunately for many (incl some in my family) it is.

    First of all, I agree with PassionTraveler! It all boils to down 'chemistry'.
     
    I'm an Asian and I do not mind dating someone out of my race. In my country, we have several different races, Malay, Chinese, Indian, Kadazan... etc.. some of these races do not like to mix with the others - I just think that is really sad.
     
    I don't like to be close-minded although some of my relatives are. I think they would have alot to say if I dated someone out of my race - as for my family, they don't care as long as I am happy!!
     
  • the_infernal_optimist said on Jul 24, 2007....
    I have dated men outside my race, and though my husband isn't, it wouldn't have slowed me down a bit if he had been. I'm interested in the mind and heart that make up the person, not his height or race or whether he has bushy eyebrows, you know?

    It's a shame that some people might be preventing themselves or others from finding happiness with the best possible match out there.

  • destinydiva said on Jul 24, 2007....
    I think race creates it's own racism..... 
    a particular race will cry out that somebody is only seeing the colour of their skin.....
    yet they will insist that their sons and daughters don't date another race?????  thats racism in itself isn't it????

    I guess what I am trying to say, is that when I see a person...  I don't see the colour of their skin....  I see a person just like me.... 

    So for me this question is the same as would I date a guy with a red car? would I turn down a date because the guy doesn't drive a blue car??

    and my answer......   the colour of his car would be irrelevant when I was considering dating him :-)

    I'm in a world of my own today... I hope that came out right :-)

    I find beauty in many different people of many ethnicities. I think unless people can trace their roots back to ancient times( and as dna test are proving everyone has links to every race) no one actually has the right to call themself one of anything. As we learned from Thomas Jefferson and Sally hemmings,and many other instances where people have conquered other lands or at least occupied them mixing of the races does occur weither by force or by love. And if these unions produce children what makes them more of one particular race than another? What does this have to do with dating outside your race? Lots! Think about it! No one knows whose been in whose bed and what hasn't been said:D

    I dated someone outside my race (and nationality) for many years.
  • antilove said on Jul 24, 2007....

    I married outside my race. I'm of hispanic/asian descent married to a white girl :)

    I don't fear marriage or dating outside my race. I actually prefer it to dating girls of my same race. I do draw the line however at black women; there is just something about their culture (hairstyles mostly) that doesn't draw me in at all.

    My entire family line has married outside of their race; my grandfather (mexican) got remarried to a South Korean woman. Don't fear interacial coupling.

    Personally, if I were female, I'd be more afraid of white men or black men than any other race. I don't say that to be racist but white men are the leading race when it comes to serial killers and domestic violence and black men always have that society-imbued aura of hatred and violence plaguing them.

    were all part of the same race, the human race, it is only a different skin colour, and as every one is technically different anyway, what does it matter, love is blind to such things. It's just the traditionalist view that makes people against such things. Like inter-racial relationships, a tall girl going out with a shorter guy, lower class and upperclass marrying. It is the modern age is it not?! We are supposedly free independant beings, so what is wrong with dating, marrying or falling in love with anybody, no matter of race, religion, heingh or class. Same sex marriages and relationships are even becoming accepted now. So as an answer to your question, yes I could most definately date outside my "race" and be proud to do so.
  • PassionTraveler said on Jul 24, 2007....
    Something else to consider that no one has mentioned thus far, of if they have, I missed it:

    Propagation of species and the gene pool -- It used to be thought that to stay within a same race (breed with animals) was ideal as the bloodlines stayed more pure. However, genetic scientists now understand that to remain a "pure blood" actually weakens the genetic code from generation to generation and can create many more illnesses and diseases.

    Mixed races/ethnicities actually fare MUCH better in the genetic/evolutionary chain as the diversity of genetic material strengthens, not weakens, the species.

    Want a healthier world? Share the love across the rainbow of humanity! ;-)

  • PassionTraveler said on Jul 24, 2007....
    And one other thing... (I'm on a roll)

    We sniff out our mates through pheromones - literally. If someone is genetically unsuitable (and some suggest even diseased), we simply don't find them attractive, or say there is no chemistry. Actually that statement is more true than we realize. It's our pheromone signals telling us, "No, not this one. Move on."

    It's Mother Nature's way to protect the genetic material by not breeding with someone with whom would not be a suitable genetic match. Who knows, it might even be why opposites attract -- Mother Nature's way to mix things up and spread the genetic material around. ;-)

    PT
  • PassionTraveler said on Jul 24, 2007....
    By the way, I reread that sentence: "...to stay within a same race (breed with animals)", is a bit confusing. I don't mean we should "breed with animals" although Hotaka has some unusual ideas about a Golden Retriever <WINK>; I meant that the noun is called "race" when referring to humans, and its called "breed" when referring to animals.

    But the same principles apply to the two-legged groups or the four-legged ones... mixing it up, GOOD, keeping it pure, BAD. LOL.

    Lots of folk are dating "outside their race" and don't even know it.
     
    But I assume you're talking about the OBVIOUS. For instance, my son is 1/8 black but no one can tell. He looks like the "race" he lives among, and no girls would know the difference.
     
    Outside of aesthetics and a couple of cultural conventions, "race" seems to play a much smaller role than "heart." Even racists find the opposite race-sex attractive. They might not date them, but they sure would fuck them.
     
    But that's also true of me...there are women who I would fuck but not date, date but not marry...regardless of race.
     
    I think only the strictest of sociological conventions would prevent most people from "dating" whoever they want, because many times we don't have much choice about when, or whom, we fall in love (with).
     
     
  • PassionTraveler said on Jul 26, 2007....
    Forgive me Naked Prof for noticing, but I LOVE that you put your dangling preposition in parenthesis. I've become lax and ocassionaly dangle my prepositions, but fight it as often as I can, rewriting the sentence to read something like:

    "...many times we don't have much choice about when, or with whom, we fall in love."

    But as you know, that doesn't always flow so easily. The parenthesis at least tells me you remember that old grammar rule. I hate that our English language is becoming so bastardized with slang and poor grammar.

    Grant you, I'm far from a perfect grammarian, but I try.

    You know aliendude, in SA's fascist history they used to point to the Bible as justification & if you point out to them about Solomon, they say it was his "intermarrying" that was his downfall (though actually, colour had nothing to do with it. God was displeased that, because of his many wives, he had been led astray erected altars to foreign gods etc etc)
    I get a kick out of watching some people's faces when I give them my theory. You'll have to indulge me here because, being Christian, I believe in Creationism.
    So, assuming that God created Adam as one man (as opposed to a man-group as some interpret it), within Adam would be the gene-pool of the whole human race. (Indulge me here too because I am no scientist) - anyway, he would have to have predominantly dominant genes, because, the way I understand it, you cannot get a dominant gene from a recessive gene line yet you can get a recessive gene from a dominant gene line. What's my point? well, if he was predominantly dominant gene, that would make him black. Or.......if you want to get figurative, he was formulated from soil (black) and Eve was formulated from his rib (white). The first integrated couple :-)
    While I realise that I won't be receiving any Nobel prizes for this theory, it is nonetheless, my theory & I'm sticking to it :-)

    "Good" grammar is what we personally remember that teacher hammering into us in 19__!!!!

    Language evolves. Surely ye must admit such. Me own grandparents disparaged the use of the word "guys" in reference to just everyone, such as "Hey you guys!  What will you guys have today?" That was slang to them and a grand misuse of a word and disrespectful as well.

    As some of you know may know, I'm of Africa heritage. Hubby, on the other hand, is Caucasian. To most people, we're an interracial couple. It's nothing I really think about or notice, but other people (occasionally) comment on it.

    As a result, I'm fairly sensitive to interracial dating. And I recently discovered InterracialChats, an interracial dating website for men and women who are specifically looking for an interracial relationship. The site features people of all ethnicities, ages and socio-economic backgrounds, and it allows you to search by zip code for interracial personals.

    The user friendly site allows members to send messages to potential dates, and you can join for free. The profiles include plenty of information, such as age, marital status, children, pets, music and movie preferences, political views and more. With this much information, it's easy to find someone who could be a great romantic match for you!

    Let me start off by saying I was adopted as a child into a family where the mother is White and the father is Black-although he appears White.  So this whole "interracial" issue is a non issue for me even though I am and appear Black.  In general, I haven't dated a lot of Black men.  Maybe it's a subconscious way to avoid incest?  I have siblings whom I don't know.  So by avoiding Black men I'm avoiding that situation.  I'm also attracted to certain types of men. 

    Where I live the whole vibe is about peace and living together so there's no real issue about dating outside your race.  It's common.  I've always dated interracially.  Now I'm with a guy who's Spanish and I love it!  He's sexy & he'd be considered "White" based on skin complexion.  I hear this from his friends all time they say when I first saw him I thought he was just a white guy. 

    WOW - Antilove ---- that takes my breath away but a lot of people feel as he does.  I believe in attracting what you are.  If you're a loving, generous person you attract that. 

    I've tended to gravitate more towards international men as opposed to simply black or white men.  I like the difference.  I like learning about other cultures etc.  I think people stereotype way, way too much.  If someone knew what it felt like to live in another person's skin literally & have their hair texture they wouldn't be so quick to criticize or write off an entire race of people for attributes they simply can't help.

I went to this chat line about 2 or 3 weeks ago. On there, I met this guy and we started talking on the phone. We met each other and I like hanging out with him. He's a nice guy. He has a decent job, a great personality, and very respectable, but I don't...
I was talking to a friend and she asked what is means to be in a relationship today. She had this same discussion with a male friend of hers. What he said in a nutshell was that today people get into relationships for selfish reasons. One may want a rela...
