I would like to know, what are your views about interracial dating?
I (dutch, black girl) have always been attracted to guys outside of my race. Where I live, dating outside your own race is not much of a "problem".
Love is colorblind

I'd really like to hear about your views and experiences with interracial dating....

im with you, but i'll elaborate on your statement.

Love has no boundaries

I see no problem in interracial dating ... so good luck brownie83. there are some nice guys on here

It's a personal thing, no right or wrong.
Everyone likes what they like.
I have a good mate who's Chinese.
He says he could only get serious with another Chinese girl.
Guess it's a family thing for him.
I don't have the option to maintain my racial purity as I'm a mongrel!

Why do you ask after all? Do you have lots of "racist" friends that don't like that you date people with another skin colour ?

Everybody knows what I'm going to say...

Race/Skin Colour/ religion etc. is not a big factor, to me anyway. I would date any woman if I was attracted to them.

Personally i have never had an 'interracial relationship', not because i am racist, because i am definately not, its just a matter of personal choice. But i can relate Samatron on the 'family thing' though. I come from an Irish Catholic family, dont get me wrong if i fancied a mixed race person it would not have stopped me persueing it, but i am sure i would have got a few comments from the older generations in my family. At the end of the day its all about personal choice, but just because you dont date coloured people, does not mean you are racist, the same as when coloured people dont date white people !!!!!!!!!!! .................. x

Most people who live in the West Indies (if not all!) are the result of inter-racial dating, so it is fairly popular!

Scottie: interesting stuff! I wouldn't say that my mate's family are racists. Why would they live in England if they hated white people? But it is common for ethnic families to like to continue their ethnic line. That would make his parents happy, so that is what he would do.
I have another mate from a Pakistani family. They don't have the same expectations. I think his parents would like him to meet a Pakistani girl, but they would be happy with anyone who made him happy!
I'm with you in that I can't really relate to it. Being part of an ethnic minority would help to understand the mindset. I don't think it's to do with racism!

Interracial dating?

If you're attracted to somebody, like them..even love them..then it doesn't matter what race they are Aterall, we are all human. All have the same emotions etc

Unfortunely there are some biggoted(sp?) people out there that believe it's wrong to date outside of your race.

Either way.

I'm all for it.

The date should not be the looked upon by the person's colour of there skin as the old saying goes "Never judge the book by the colour"

By the way Brownie83, like you avatar, you look really great!

I hav't read the rpelies to theis for forgive me

I heard that a few weeks ago a Richard Loving passed away. He was married to Mildred Jeeter (Black), in 1958 in DoC, US. when they returned to Viginia, were interracial marriage was illegal they were sentenced to 1 year-suspended sentance

The couple retruned to DoC & beginne a series of lawsuits to the supreme court to get it over turned, I took between 3-10 years of legal battles.

Their story was made into a film in 1994 ('Mr & Mrs Loving'). The last State in the US to allow interracial marriagies was Alabama......In The Year 2000

Loving Day is held on June 12 & Mixed-Race Day, in Brasil on June 27
