What do you really think  when you see an interracial couple walking down the street hand in hand?

I'm old enough I have been programmed by my raising that I am not always comfortable with mixed couples, but that's my problem not theirs.

Honestly, I'd look at them both and the one who keeps up the eye contact is the one I would ask for help. I've noticed that in public if a person doesn't want to help you they will quickly divert their eyes from you.\n\nIf they both divert their eyes from me, I then would start with the one closest to me (in hearing distance). Otherwise I'd just ask: Which one of you kind gentlemen could help me out?\n\nBy the way, I don't feel prejudices are so bad. I despise racism, however, on the grounds that racism to me is when a person is trying to dehumanize me because I look different from them.

if it really the person loves you it will show but if a pretender you will know because when you are walking together or someone the behaviour it will be different just to pick other people attention. the love it like kissing each other on street holding hand just to be with each other so they era different things just be careful on whom you are dating not everybody will tell you the truth about themselves.

That is a real good point and makes alot of sence..since dating in your race is inter-racial lol

yes i do the double take thing sometimes. the most ironic part for me is that i myself am the product of a mixed marriage. my mother is white my father is black. but still i'll see a light skinned child go to his/her dark skinned mother and i'm shocked, or a dark skinned child going to a light skinned father. i try not to stare sometimes i compliment them on such a lovely looking child and explain my situation and background.

Yes. \nI am white.... caucasian.... pigment deficient... whatever you want to call it. I've dated (and married) women of other races throughout my life. The darker the skin, the more racism we experienced. I did not feel it from many outsiders, just mainly from my family... until I dated black women and eventually married two of them. Then I experienced it pretty much everywhere we went, to different degrees... both from blacks and from whites. \n\nMe and my second wife broke up in '94, and since then I haven't been in an interracial relationship... not by choice - just happened to fall in love with someone that was a little short of pigment.\n\nI don't know your reason for asking. I personally think that we should all love whoever we are meant to love and never make a choice based on color of skin. I will say however that in interracial relationships, there is a lot of additional pressure and outside resistance and negativity that doesn't exist in "same color" relationships.\n\nIt amazes me how in all other aspects of life, we LIKE contrast and are drwn to it. "Wow, I want that white car with the tan interior." "Those kaki pants look great with that red shirt." "I love the colors that you have picked for your house... they really compliment each other."\n\nExcept when it comes to the color of our skin.\n\nAren't we referred to as "THE human race" and "humanKIND?" \nNotice that neither word is plural.\n\nOZ

Some of the richest relationships I have ever witnessed were interracial.  It is not the outside of a book that determines whether or not it is a good read.  It is the quality of the text upon its pages.

I think it is good to see people commit to a marriage, it really doesn't matter what race or color. When it comes down to it, we all came from the same place-right? If you are really in live with your mate, then marriage is honorable. After all, you won't be spending the rest of your life with dear old mom and dad, so you've got to follow your heart on this issue.

this is like my 5th time answering this question on here lol but my opinion is that its ok and the fact that someone would go out with someone of a different race, when it isnt so common, says something about their personality....that theyre open minded and can look beyond ''barriers'' to see love for what it really is. Same goes for, people dating outside their religions, and gay people...etc the list goes on :)\n\np.s. Thats why people with a whole lot of races mixed in them are so beautiful lol ... People are rewarded when they can look beyond physical things :)

Does it matter if your black, white, yellow, brown or otherwise? Let's think about it, when it all comes down to bone structure and level of mallamon (not sure of spelling!) in your skin, then why do we see people so differently? We are all people sharing this planet, it's our belief structure and how we act that differentiates us from one another.\n\nSo may answer is you is 'Yes' because you are dating the person not the race! Cultural backgrounds sometimes need to be considered, but really the same rules would apply if you were dating someone of the same race.\n\nMy wife is Asian and I am Caucasian. I am attracted to the beauty of the person and my wife.

Yes. A biracial marriage has its ups and downs just like any other marriage. True love has no color bounderies, if there is love and trust it will last.  If not then it wont, no matter what color, race, or all the other reasons we think they dont last.

I'm guessing that you are asking if interracial dating/marriage is ok. I'm white and my wife is black...we've been married 4 years and have 2 beautiful daughters. We have the same problems that all married couples have....but we've never had issues because of our racial difference. \nI know some people might not approve but I couldn't care less. That being said there are some places that I wouldn't move to because of racial problems...but I probably wouldn't choose to live there if I was married to a white woman.

That is an excellent question, because the same thing once happened to me i was walking around campus when a girl named melissa goes "is your dad like white or indain" and when i said no why would you ask that she goes "your hair is very pretty" that answer upset and astounded me all at the same time, it was an answer of ignorance and i couldnt belive someone would actually think that i was mixed as dark as i am (more like a nice chocolate color) and i have noticed even the most kinky haird girls (i mean no harm) will claim "yeah im 1/3 indain"  "im half spanish" (the new trend) and i will just shake my head, they think its cute and makes them more attractive to guys. I also have heard some say when given a compliment like "your very pretty" they quickly say "yeah my dads half asain" "im half indian" and so on, wich just puts our culture down more and hyping up the steryotype that black women are only beautiful when mixed, which is not true. there is nothing wrong with being black but society has brainwashed everyone to beliveing that there is, and you would think going on past things like slavery and other wars ppl would see its not all that great to be white (no offense to my boyfriend) becuase they always seem to be thinking evil things and doing evil things (hitler anyone) and they are quick to seed away anyone who isnt "pure white" i think black women need to come together and realize balck is beautiful and you could go anywhere else in the world and be praised for your black beauty only in america will we be continuously put down and told when all black you cant be beautiful but thats not true in other countires the darker the better "mixed..thats ok" "black..your gorgeous"

From personal experience, I don't think its wrong. It shouldn't matter who you love or what race they are. All that matters is that you are in a loving, caring relationship.\nBe prepared though that not everyone will feel this way and not everyone will support you. There will always be people that will have something negative to say about your choice of partner. However the world is becoming more tolerant to such issues because there are way more interracial couples and babies out there nowadays.\nWhen my parents first got married, my grandfather asked them "what are you going to do with the children?"...my mom is black and my father white...and my mother replied very smartly ..."name them".\nMy grandfather didn't even want to be seen in public at a restaurant with my mother back then but now he's gotten used to the idea of my sister and I and now loves to take us girls shopping and spoil us rotten.\nI like being mixed. I think I have the best of both worlds. I don't consider myself black and I don't consider myself white. I am mixed race. I am equally black and equally white. I wouldn't choose one or the other if I had the chance.
