Dating Outside Of Your Race...Could You???

race isnt a big deal because its all about the person. im Arab and African American and i dont even think ive met someone the same mix as me. i do find that im attracted to white guys and im a huge fan of accents.

 

I will be perfectly honest. No. (yeah, i'm the bitch who said no)

It's not because I'm racist or ignorant. I just don't find guys very attractive to begin with. And African American guys, Puerto Ricans, Asian.. they are all so manly!! I'm more visually attracted to women and it's hard to find even a white guy i'm interested in. It's not beacause of color or race at all. It's just men in general.

 

I am quite culturally oriented, not only when it comes to my own nationalities, but I love to learn about others as well. That being said, I have dated out of my race several times. My first boyfriend was African American and the last couple were Hispanic. I wish my area was home to more Asian men.

 

yes I would....

 

meh possibly....i prefer white girls.....simply because i do.....

 

I would and I have. The color of a persons skin is as important as the color of their eyes!

 

Yes I would date someone outside of my own race...actually I'm in the best relationship of my life right now and she's white.

Actually, I've dated more girls outside of my race than the same because most girls of my race aren't attracted to me. But yea I'd prefer to stay with my current princess forever.

I never knew Detroit could be like that, being such a diverse/ northern city. I know around here, some places are just not safe for interracial couples to be.

 

haha, stuntdragon i love your sig ..

 

I would... Race should not be a factor when finding someone to love.. Its hard enough already finding someone special nevermind not looking at people cause of the race..

 

hahha thanks yo

 

i wish the world's view paralleled that of the members of this forum

 

The idea of being able to date "inside your race" became nothing but a pipe dream for everyone as soon as the Romans were fighting and fucking around the world. My own family has Thai, German, French, Native Indian roots I know of, and who knows who was banging who before 1900? And we're mostly pretty plain, average Americans.

I don't see why this is a big deal. My own interests are in adoption since I have genetic fertility issues and I'm NOT waiting ten or fifteen years additionally from when I begin this venture at age 30 just to get a white or partially white baby. Being a mom is more important in my life than color. Having said that and realizing RAISING a happy, content minority child is a hell of a lot harder than getting in the sack with a colorful stud, dating outside my race? Pssh, of course.

 

hmmmm race? what does that really mean anyways? race is just a way of categorizing human beings into groups of their like color. this doesn't relate to anything other than physical attributes of people. race also categorizes different cultures, which does place differences between the races, but who said differences are a bad thing? differences help us to learn and grow and be inspired. how much fun is it to be around the same kind of people with the same ideas and beliefs all the time? there would be hardly any development in the world and there would be no America today if it weren't for different races (Native Americans and Pilgrims).

racism is when this is confused and someone associates a person's skin color with characteristics of their personality as a human being. we call this the process of stereotyping. naughty naughty racists. people are their own; not the norm or typical ways of a specific group. racists are just confused. but i know im not. im not confused about anything when it comes to my love for my poppi. the only time i actually think of the race issue is when people actually make it an issue, and then its like, 'o yea, i am in an interracial relationship...' until times like those when people make an issue of race, it nevers really crosses my mind. i'm just 2 enthralled with the beautiful relationship i have and what great boyfriend i have because of the person he is. not his race. race isn't a person, it's a genre of people. a gateway to stereotypes. blah..

 

Besides - children from mixed race relationships are always so much cuter.[/QUOTE]
SOOOOOOO true!!!!

 

definately

 

of course i would. i can't fathom a reason why not.

 

I answered yes, because I've dated outside my race. Actually, I was married to someone outside of my race. I asked my husband, why did he want to marry someone outside of his race, even though his parents didn't approve? He said, because we are all the same race, the human race, we just have different shades of skin color. I loved him even more for saying that.


But anyway, when we went out in public, we would get stares and smiles. The #1 question that people always asked me, was why would I marry out of my race, when there are so many african american men out there?

We had a beautiful son together. Most applications don't have an option under race for mixed kids, so my husband and I would argue about which race should we list him under. He said the race is determed by whatever race the father was, I disagreed.

 

thats really cool yo that ur husband said that bout the 'human' race. that is so true man.

 

yeah & no

I don't understand otherwise. People are People.

 

I'd be happy to date any girl who I considered to be an intellectual who I am attracted to. Black, white, purple, green or blue.
