Should people date out thier race?

young_line595 is correct - genetically there is no such thing as race. Of course people aren't that rational.\n\nBut the answer is: sure.

Good point. Some people would contradict themselves with this.  I personally think that being with someone outside of your race is wonderful. However, if someone chooses to be with someone of their own race, it is their personal choice, and does not make them racist right off. If they want someone the same race for morals and that they share similar beliefs, I would not consider them racist. But if they want someone the same race solely because of their color, etc, that is a bit racist.

I have a inter-racial marriage.... I've dated guys of several different races.... race is just the color of the skin for the most part... each person is different in many ways.... in which the color of their skin does not matter and does not change anything.... I'm white if you look at me... but, when you take history of mankind in to account.... we are all mixed...

No, because let's say you're white but you date a Mexican.. However, you hate Blacks and Chinese people.  \n\nYou can still be a racist.

Ignore them. It is not yo to them to judge you. Who are they to say where you find happiness in your life?\nI have dated outside my race SEVERAL times and I have learned that the only reason people do this is the same reason people put others down for any reason in life...#1-ignorance\n#2 They are miserable and can not stand to see someone else happy\n\nIf you find happiness whether its with your same race or not good for you! Congratulations!!!

There is no problem with blacks dating blacks, white dating whites, black dating whites, asian dating blacks or any other combination of one person dating another.

Depend of the person, and your oppinion about race/religion. \nI myself don't like some certain racese and religions, and I have never found anyone that attractive enough to me from those.

It's not a matter of for or against. An individual has a right to decide who s/he chooses to date. Some like blondes, some brunettes, some redheads. \n\nAnd there are others who prefer to date outside their race. It's just a matter of personal preference. However it is preferable for both to understand the culture of each other. Otherwise friction can occur in the relationship. \n\nMy women have been African, Caribbean and Latin American, by the way. And the woman I am going to marry has a bit of all three!

Take it slow.  On the first few dates, mention that you have a child (but not a biracial child).  During those early dates, try to explore how the person feels about children first.  Then discover how that person feels about people of other races.  Of course, before you mention you have a biracial child, don't show the man you are dating any pictures, nor would you want to introduce your child, yet.\n\nOnce you know how the man feels about children and other races - if the results are positive - then, tell him about your biracial child.\n\nOnly after you have been dating for a while should you introduce your child.  Don't rush into introducing your child.  If you introduce too early and then you break up, your child may not understand or may have already started forming a bond with this person.\n\nTake some time.  Learn about the person you are dating.  Then introduce your child.

I can only speak for myself, I will never date outside of my race.  I cannot even picture myself dating outside of my race.  That is me.  If other people wish to date out of their race, then so beit.  But since you are saying that you have a problem with "people" dating other than white on white or white on hispanic, I'll say yes, in whichever way that is racist.

I have no idea. I have dated other races and think there is nothing wrong with it.

Well, first of all, you have to be of a different race...\n\n...kidding aside, make her see past color (race). Show her that what you are is someone worth spending time with, and worth the trouble that they've made up in their minds about dating "interracially".\n\ngood luck

Nope not at all.  As long as the couple is good together and happy w/ each other it shouldn't matter what colour their skin tone is.  I'm completely happy with my other half and he is black/ puerto rican.  If I would have stuck to 'my own kind' as people have phrased it I wouldn't have gotten with and fell in love with my bf.  And that would have been my loss.  When you limit yourself to just your own race you risk potentionally missing out on alot of good people and possibly love too.

This question has nothing to do with interracial Relationships, because most relationships are interracial. When 2 "White" people get together they are considers the same race but, may come from different backgrounds. No one blinks a eye about that. \nWhen a black man dates a white woman people get up in arms. So many double standards!! It's really just sad. To say that races should mix. You can have black friends but don't have sex because, blah, blah, blah. \n2006 and it sounds like we are still in the 50's. I can't believe it. \nHere is a kick in the *** for you all? What about a gay "interracial" relationship. Two "wrongs" must make it right, huh? How about this question when are people going to stop pointing fingers and assume responsibility for their own actions and beliefs? \nOh' and when I see a mixed couple dating it WARMS MY HEART TO KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE COMING TOGETHER WITH DEEPER UNDERSTANDING THEN SKIN COLOR OR GENDER!!

I would date a black girl. To be honest (and attempting not to be Micheal Richards) the majority of the black culture is very unappealing to me. However, I've known a handful of black people that I can get along with and hang out with. So if I found a compatible match then it wouldn't bother me.

I would date any race or nationality. \nRace isn't an important factor for me. I love all people.\nThe characteristics i look for though are\n-Honesty\n-Great Personality\n-Intelligent\n-Confident\n-etc
