Poll: Your opinion on interracial relationships?

[maturin]

Russians are from Asia.

No they're not. Slavs migrated from Eastern Europe to European Russia, then colonized the Asian part.

Are white Americans from the same place as Cherokee?

I personally can't see a Russian with an Asian or an Asian with a black person. It's not that I'm racist, it's just that it kinda grosses me out...

Mongol princes were marrying into Russian noble families five hundred years ago, you clown. And I suppose all those soldiers marching all over Turkestan and the miners in the Urals just looked fondly at pictures of lily white Muscovite lasses the whole time.

And one more thing. Dark girls yesplease. That will be all.

Fully support it, since I'm dating an african american girl (i'm white). I know, thats... cliche. But still, i love her. And i never minded it. I'm an open person. If you love them, be with them. I could never understand how you could not like someone becuase of hte colour of their skin, but they could be perfect for you.

 

[Numachuka]

The best interrational couple.

OT: I don't have any problem with it. People choose who they want to date. I'm not personally attracted to black girls but I don't think that's racism.

 

[Dukenstein]

I'll just be honest. I don't mind interracial relationships, but I would never want to marry a person of another race. If I have children, I really want them to look at me. Also, if I were a father and I had a daughter, I might not take it as kindly.

 

[13thforswarn]

Honestly, what ever floats your boat. If you're black and you're into Asians, go for it. If you're white and you're into Latinos, go for it.

Personally, I don't think I will interracially marry (is that even a word?). I like my European chicks thank you very much.

 

[Eric the Orange]

Back then I used to laugh at thai girls who dated white guys but now I see the fault in it since they only take the ugly ones so white guys do thai men the favor of getting them out of the thai race.

Um, what? I don't understand what you are trying to say here? That white guys only date ugly Thai women, and this is a good thing so pure Thai children will be less ugly?

 

[Lilani]

I guess you could say I support them, but to be perfectly honest, I don't feel it's really my place to judge others' relationships in the first place, at least in that sort of regard.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

They are part of a long list of things I give not a single fuck about.
Frankly, I'm not sure why anyone would.

If you're restricting me to simply talking about locations, and not actual RACES, then the answer is yes. A person born is Russia is also Asian. Just as a person born in China is Asian, or a person born in India or Japan is Asian.

Skin color should not dictate a persons relationship worth in my opinion. If I like someone, their race is not a factor.

What if you like the colour of their skin? Or the slant of their eyes? or for that matter, what if you dislike it?
Race is a big factor of a relationship for me, as it generally defines culture(and as such, the actual personality of the individual) and physical appearance. If you've ever been physically attracted to someone, then you know why this is a factor.
I can pretty much say that I'm not physically attracted to black women. I just don't care for the body types, hair colour(though, blonde goes really nice with chocolate skin). And if they have the whole "stereotypical" black attitude, I don't care for that either.
Don't get me wrong though, if you thought I was going the "anti interracial" route. I am an offspring of one such relationship, and it woulld be terribly ironic if I were against myself.
I am all for it.
It's just, I won't pretend physical appearance doesn't matter to me.

 

[Death God]

It's just two people. It'd be racist to say that a black man and a white woman can't be together because they are different races.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Well, I'm not racist, and buy into that crazy idea that people of all races are equal, so I guess I support them.

 

[xam883]

i personaly dont give a flying coc& about interracial relationships i asumed this was the way
most people thought on this topic well, except in the waaaay deap south

 

[bl4ckh4wk64]

I'm all for certain interracial marriages, but some of them just freak me out. I personally can't see a Russian with an Asian or an Asian with a black person. It's not that I'm racist, it's just that it kinda grosses me out...

Russians are from Asia.

Fine, oriental person. Meaning of the typical definition one thinks of when someone says Asian. Russians are technically Eurasian because their country spans two continents though.

 

[Nosense]

Other: I'm in one!

 

[Jewrean]

Being the cowardly asshole that I am that can never get into a relationship with a girl I blamed it partly (read PARTLY meaning that it was a contributing factor and it does in fact correlate) due to so many 'black' guys taking all the 'white' women. While it is true that this reduces the number of 'white' women for me to date, 'white' guys like myself end up resorting to dating 'asian' girls instead (like I am right now). Admittedly racial relationships isn't really a big deal over here in Australia seeming as the country is mostly 'white' anyway. And who gets screwed out of all this? The 'black' girls and the 'asian' guys. So if you ever see some single Asian dudes and some single Black chicks then hook em up to balance out the statistics yo!

This is where subconscious racism rears its ugly head with me.

I was raised in a lily-white town (as in, we had one black-white mixed-race family and a few Chinese folks who mainly ran restaurants. According to the Census Bureau via Wikipedia:

"96.94% White, 0.45% Black or African American, 0.08% Native American, 1.43% Asian, 0.01% Pacific Islander, 0.20% from other races, and 0.90% from two or more races." (2000 census)

And my high school was a hotbed of racism thanks to forced busing (or "school integration", if you prefer.) I was a member of a hate group myself (I got better.)

When you've got that drilled into your head from childhood that interracial relationships are wrong or unnatural or a good excuse to vent some teenage-boy frustration and beat the shit out of a black kid without the principal giving two shits (and I'm from the Northeast!)...

Well, it's gonna lead to certain visceral reactions as an adult. And I just can't get past that drilled-in-childhood revulsion at the sight of an interracial couple (and indeed, it's black guy-white girl that triggers that response in me---if I see a black guy with an Asian or an Asian with a white or any other combination, it doesn't register as unusual with me.)

I'm sorry, I really am. I try very hard to move past that. But if any black people (I won't say "African-Americans" because I'm sure an African in the UK or a Jamaican or...you get the idea...reading this would take offense) want to hate me for that, I honestly don't blame you. And if you've any advice for becoming more accepting, I'm open to it.

You've already done more then most by admitting your prejudice, and admitting the problem lies with you, not others, so that's good. You can try befriending an interracial couple consisting of a black man and a white woman and hopefully with the increased exposure you will come to see them as no different then a couple with the same ethnicity. So long as they are not horrible people (but that will have nothing to do with their race).

If you're restricting me to simply talking about locations, and not actual RACES, then the answer is yes. A person born is Russia is also Asian. Just as a person born in China is Asian, or a person born in India or Japan is Asian.

What? My point was that for the purposes of race, region or continent or origin obviously trumps current location. And you know that a whole lot of Russia is in Europe, and no Russians lived in the Asian parts until 1500 or so?

 

[Danlian]

Bluntly...*I* am not interested in being in an interracial relationship BUT...if that's your thing then by all means go for it!

Everyone should be able to seek their own happiness as long as it is a union of two equal individuals. Gender and race should NOT matter as long as both people in the relationship are happy.

 

[The Last Parade]

I'm in one with a chinese girl (I'm Caucasian), however a lot of people often say things at us on the street and everything, both Chinese and Caucasian pedestrians seem to have an issue
