I have actually met a number of people who do feel this way, including young people, since I joined the Navy. While in bootcamp, we were sharing our relationships back home on a Sunday morning (basically during our only free time), and one of the girls who I got along with okay suddenly went cold toward me when I showed everyone a picture of my boyfriend (who was black) from back home. She actually seemed to be friends with the black girls in the division, but she told us she felt that my relationship was wrong. And then there were some guys I knew in the country bar I frequented in Hawaii that were open about their dislike of mixed race coupling. One of the guys said he would take an Asian girl home to sleep with but he'd never be in any real relationship with her (lost all respect for them and kept my distance after that). And both my father and my husband were asked by their fathers whether my mother and I (respectively) were black when each father was told their son was going to get married.

How depressing. My ex is mixed race and neither he nor our daughter ever had to deal with any of that, thankfully.
 
Many times children of interracial couples grow up with an identity crisis and get picked on by others. Also in the real world outside of Internet forums Millions of people of all races have a problem with interracial dating.

I have mixed race second cousins and a mixed race nephew. I was raised from an early age that race doesn't mean anything in relationships.

Actually, the saddest thing I've seen when it comes to hate of mixed relations is when our neighbor threw a rock at my aunt while she was pregnant, hitting her in the stomach, because she knew she was having a mixed-race child. She even admitted to trying to cause a miscarriage (although I think by then it would have been a still birth) for that reason. Luckily, it didn't happen. Unfortunately, the woman did not end up charged for even the assault.

Actually, it is true that many races have issues with interracial dating. But that doesn't make any of them right in their thinking. My cousin's boyfriend's family didn't approve of his relationship with my cousin due to their relative races.

I just thought I would ask. It seems some people here are not comfortable with interracial couples, and I was curious how common the attitude is..

I don't know what threads you frequent, but I haven't seen a single post or single person claim they are uncomfortable with interracial couples nor have I seen any posts that even remotely imply they feel that way. Simply a bogus poll designed to generate offense where none currently exists.

Cool story, bro. Looking for safety in numbers, are we? That's brave. Look, I can do it too: the milions of us who don't have a problem with it are totally gonna eradicate your kind. :D
 
There is nothing inherently wrong with it...but it isn't for everyone, myself included. So to answer the question, yes it is acceptable if people of two races want to be couples.

If I may ask, why wouldn't you consider it for yourself? Is it an attraction thing, or more to the point, lack thereof?

Another sad story I own a small business and this lady walked in she was probably in her 20's and she was going on and on about how she is a good woman and how men treat her like crap, and then her mixed race little daughter walked in the store and she acted like she was horrified at the sight of her own daughter, she would not even acknowledge her. basically she had a mixed child out of wedlock and the baby's daddy abandoned them and her family shunned her. I felt bad for the kid, because I can tell she was treated poorly.

I'm just stating my opinion, no need to act like an Internet hero.

Do I have a problem with it? Nope. Do I have stereotypical opinions of it? Yup.

Anecdotally, being from Michigan, I've seen a number of these relationships. Damn near all involved a trailer-trash "baby mama" and a man that's essentially done nothing with his life except dodging cops (often unsuccessfully). The reverse has always involved a successful black woman with another successful white man.

For every German supermodel and Grammy-winning artist, there are a thousand white trash sluts with deadbeat, wannabe thugs.

But hey - doesn't bother me. I've never met a white woman that prefers black men that I consider a real loss to my dating pool.

Unleash, people. I'm ready.

so, if your kids/grandkids came home with a partner of another race, you wouldn't have a problem with it?

Unleash what? You already admitted they were stereotypes. :lol:

Hey, I support honesty. Besides, internet morality polls are bunk. I remember a thread quite a while back that asked what you would do if you found a wallet in a public place with a big wad of cash in it. The overwhelming majority said that they would track down the owner and give it back to him with every dollar intact.

It confirms how easy it is to lie on the internet.

Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason though. Some people don't deserve the benefit of obvious doubt, and it's on them to demonstrate being the exception and not the rule.

Ya, some people treat Internet forums like high school and feel peer pressure to say what they think is expected.

I don't think people owe anyone any explanation on their relationships. If you want to see a stereotype, that's on you. It's not really what this thread is about, though. Stereotypes in relationships transcend racial issues. Old guy/younger chick. Attractive chick/ugly dood. Young guy/older chick.

Man, I sure miss the good old days when everybody knew that the holy sacrament of marriage was defined as one white man and one white woman.

Everybody? Hmmmm. I was never taught such a thing. There is nothing in the Bible saying it is wrong to date or marry a person of a different race.
There are a few incidental mentions of race in the Bible (that Ethiopian's skin was different, Jeremiah 13:23), but there is nothing saying one race is superior to another. Moses was married to a Cush ite (Ethiopian) woman (Numbers 12:1-16), and God was angry with Aaron and Miriam for criticizing that marriage.
The only thing that seems to be a theme throughout the Bible is to avoid being yoked to an unbeliever.

Most people are more comfortable with their own kind. That is the case in the animal kingdom as well . But take bears for example, you have a white polar bear that has been known to mate with a black grizzly. The result, grolar bears.
