Interracial Dating/Couples

[Churchill]

Even that's not universal. As much as porn and such would have you believe, many people find sex with black men or women abhorrent to even consider.

I can't say that I'm indifferent because I normally only date outside my race. I could marry a black chick, but I also could go to the moon and I honestly don't see that happening in this life time.

Lets see... Messed around with a Filipino and South American girl in HS. Also, almost got in with a black girl, but it didn't work out. I would like to think that race doesn't matter, but my preferences do lean more toward the more olive-skin tones (hence the two mentioned first), with a special place for the Irish. Been with an Irish girl since shortly after starting college. No real account for where my preferences arose <.< Was never into Asian culture when I was younger, or anything like that.

When I was a child, my father lived pretty far away, and my mother dated the same man for 8~ years, so he was my main father figure for the majority of my childhood. He was a very successful black man with a daughter from a previous marriage (successful enough to pay the tuition out of pocket for his daughter to go to Duke University). So, I grew up in an interracial home, with a black sister. I can honestly say that as a child I never thought about race, and never saw my mother's boyfriend or his daughter as "black". It sounds cliche, but they were just people. The concept that they were somehow different from me never arose on its own, and I never thought about it until someone else said it, and even then, I never gave it much thought. Yay childhood innocence.

I've gotten in many very heated arguments with one of the grandparents of my girlfriend because of his incessant racism. He was the first person that I met who was truly a racist. I hate him to the point where I've told my girlfriend straight up that the world is going to be a better place when he dies -.- He doesn't to my face, but my girlfriend says that he refers to me in conversation as "the Jew-boy". Which, I'm really not all that Jewish (in looks, religious sense, culturally). Though, after I heard that, now when I'm around him I'm the ultra-Jew. Why? Because fuck him, that's why.

2 black girls, 1 japanese girl, 1 chinese goth chick(that was fun), 1 puerto rican girl, 1 mexican girl, 1 german girl, 1 russian, and several white women(including my wife.) My friends used to joke that I dated everyone except white women through college. Chemistry doesn't know color. You either have it or you don't.

Well, there is a taxonomy called race, but it isn't used the same way when applied anthropologically. Races are what tentatively exist beneath subspecies in classification order when the classifier(s) cannot agree that the difference between two creatures of the supposedly-same subspecies is high enough to allot a new subspecies classification. They aren't part of a classification though, they just sort-of exist by mutual agreement. Bees are the best example of this that I can immediately think of, but biology was never my strong suit. I did like looking into how things were classified, and it is something I've done a lot of research more recently on since school in my scifi writing since I used to also be of the opinion that 'race' didn't exist.

The anthropological term 'race' isn't really used in this fashion, which is, as I understand it, where the argument over the use of the word comes from.

The differences between subspecies/species used to be cloudy before nuclear DNA analysis; it is much more clear cut now. Race is sometimes used to describe two different populations of the same species (Chimps, iirc, for example).

I wouldn't be adverse to dating another Pacific Islander, but I live in a predominately white town so it seems unlikely at this time.

Thanks Bech. Now I'm going to have nightmares.

I have dated mostly women who's family (or themselves) who came central or south America. I live in Florida near the Tampa area, so that isn't surprising. I have dated one black woman. I still would like to try to date an Asian woman.

When it comes to stigma, it is prominent in my family, so there is a negative stereotype of people of other races in my family (we're Caucasian). My mother only wants me to date white women. She feels like every other race has a "lower standard" of living. I find her perspective and reasoning ironic: she divorced my white dad to date native Americans (she no longer dates at all). Due to that irony, I tend to ignore her reasoning. My extended family only wants me to stay in race. They were raised that interracial is dirty/sinning (though, most of them are cool with my cousin being a trans-gender person).

My dad doesn't care about race. He only cares if the person meets my standards and makes me happy. Same with my sister.

hopefully eventually we will all be so mixed we can stop even thinking about it. mixed race people are usually prettier.

Case in point.

Not to be rude, but I'm confused. Was your sister like assuming your parents are down with brown/white love but not black/white love? Or are you two adopted, or from a previous marriage or something?

My dad is Malaysian, my mom is White, both biological parents. My sister just liked to pretend that we were 100% white and "suburban" in order to fit in, so she convinced herself that my parents would freak out if she were dating a black guy when they absolutely would not (I mean, no shit, they're interracial too). Women are fucking crazy.

The rest of this thread seems so fucking retarded. Should I bother reading the whole thing?

[Indalecia]

Doesn't matter what race/phenotype(see what I did there?) she is. It's all about what flavor of crazy you can handle/deal with.

[dejet]

Iv dated only white woman(white male) If I find someone who I like that is not my race I would sure as hell date them lol. I live in New York, no one gives a crap around here but this one black girl at my job.

Whit dude/black girl ok. But black dude/white girl not ok to her... Dont get it. Might be because her current BF dated a white girl for like a month before he got dumped by her(dude got no pussy poor guy, I cock blocked him for myself lol)

edit: opps made that sound like Im gay. I took the woman, she was my best friend so I pulled that card and dated her for some time.

I don't date black women. Personal preference. I love me some.. well... everything else. Not that i'm not attracted to black women, but I know how rough as I had it as a dark brotha (see avatar), and I'll be damned if my offspring get all the darkie jokes that I got. Shit was rough. I got used to it as I just stopped giving a fuck, but when I moved to Texas as a kid, I was the only black in my GRADE, not just class. Shit was rough. I don't want that happening to mine. MIXED BABIES FOREVA.

In a related note, will be in Japan for 2 years.... pretty babies, inc

Not that I don't find black women attractive, I just have no urge to date/marry one. More for yall niggas, I guess.
