Yes. It would have made parts of the relationship more difficult, but if I loved her, I'd marry someone of a different race.

How on Earth would the amount of melanin in your partner's skin make the relationship 'more difficult'?

Tan envy?

No trolling. 14 words of truth. Being Aryan is being Noble. That is the sanskrit definition. Where is the Nobility in beating a Woman? As the White Woman gifts us with beautiful children ; why would we dis respect her? Let other races treat their women like rental cars.

White women are treated like pink cheevrolet ?

If I find myself attracted to a woman of another race it's usually because they have features more commonly associated with white women. Just sayin'

Because you come from different cultures and it'll take some adjusting.
Because a lot of people are racist to some extent and you'll probably have to deal with some members of either her family or yours that don't approve.

Lots of reasons.

I find white women too snotty to be sexy in most cases. I prefer darker skin and hair. I am especially attracted to latin american women who appear to have indian. their hair is very black and their eyes have epicanthic folds.

I do NOT accept this silly black and white thing . and, as there is but one "race", that being human , I would simply be marrying .. another human .. green, blue red .. white , black, purple .. these matter NOT . .

I was not asking about others - I was asking about you. You said it would make your relationship 'more difficult'.

Why would it make it more difficult for you...not others?

The color of someone's skin should make no difference.

And the question was nothing to do with culture...people of different 'races' can have the same cultures.


Maybe you mistyped or meant something else...but to me, your original post reads as a tad racist.

How much melanin in my partner's skin would be TOTALLY irrelevant and would make it more difficult not at all.

Culture might be different, but that is not what the original question was about.

Just sayin'...

You don't think having family members that don't approve of your relationship because you're different races would make things more difficult? Because I do.

So are you marrying to please your family or because of the feeling you have between you and your spouse to be?
 
To some people, interracial marriage means any race married to a black person. I was talking with a friend a while back who shared her disapproval with interracial marriages and all of her reasons why. I had to remind her she was in an interracial marriage herself; married to an Hispanic. She honesty forgot and apparently only defines interracial marriage as anybody black married to someone who isn't black.
 
I wonder why the bluebird doesn't mate with a cardinal? I mean, they are both birds and all. And, you gotta admit, that would make for one bad-ass looking bird. Purple feathers, yellow beak and a rainbow mullet. How cool would that be?

Damn birds. Such racists.

Molten_dragon is being honest; no reason to jump all over him. Families are important, and some would be very hard on people who marry someone with a different skin color. Other families wouldn't be.

When my sister had her first child (she was a single mom) my grandfather had one question for me - "was the father black?" (we are a caucasian family). Luckily it was in the days of postal mail, and I just never answered.

The reason I asked is I married a Thai gal, been married for 45 years and whether my family would like her or not didn't even enter my mind. That is probably because I was in Bangkok at the time. It was my intention to jump on anyone. If it seems I did, I apologize.

I apologize for misinterpreting your comment. Darned impersonal type!
 
I'm not attracted to one race or another. The wife is mixed like I am but with a different background. I've never really considered being with someone who isn't racially/culturally/ethnically diverse. Then again, I've never really gotten into the dating scene. So I don't know at this point whether I'd be attracted to someone who is just black or just white. I enjoy the aspect of different cultures enriching a family's day to day life and if we were to divorce, I probably wouldn't have it any other way with my next partner. At the very least they'd have to be from another country as I find most All-American women (black or white) to be culturally boring.

Huh? I didn't say anything about marrying to please your family, I said your relationship would be more difficult if your family didn't approve of it.

Yeah, so I have been told and corrected.
 
I married my husband because I loved him. He made me laugh, was good to me, played kick ass hockey, and I knew he was going to be a great father. I didn't marry him because of his pasty white Swedish/Irish complexion. I would have married him if he was black, brown, yellow or red too.
 
I'm already married but if I was single, race would be the last thing on my mind. My husband looks like he is another race because his skin tone is darker than mine but technically we are the same race- 'white' hispanic.
