I was wondering how many here are for or against interracial marriages/relationships and why.


As for me,I'm for it because love is NEVER wrong.

Its 100% okay. Some bigots say "what about the children, they suffer" Yeah because the world has a lot of racist bullies. Thats nothing new to aspies though.

If it wasn't for interracial marriages, I never would've been born, because my Grandma was the product of an Englishman and a Jewish woman :P

There's nothing wrong with interracial dating.

There's no need to worry about the kids as long as they having loving and caring parents who will look out for their best interests.

I am not against interracial relationships...for good reason. Both of my past relationships were interracial. My first girlfriend was Mexican, and my second one was Korean.

My first girlfriend was black and I basically wouldn't have noticed. It can screw up your kids, though, beyond bigotry they experience or whatever. I had a friend growing up who was half black half Italian and he didn't know how the hell to act. It screws up their sense of identity.

Interracial relationships, in most parts of the developed world are now something that is considered almost universally socially acceptable.

no!
because u dont need to act like the people u look like! thats wrong,act like yourself,not your race.

mixing the races will be so good,then where would the racism go? im "black-italian thai decendant" and proud!, "chinese-american cuban moms side of family" suck!.....mmmm no racism doesnt work there...

the human race evolved by mixing eachother,lets make our whole race stronger and more intelligent.

peace

I would marry a mexican. I probably wouldn't marry a black or oriental, I just don't have any physical attraction to them.

What about polygamy? If you can love whoever you want, shouldn't you be able to love as many people as you want?

You would think that but I live in New England were it is widely accepted in public but as I am a white male people tend to think I think like they do and the things you hear when peoples guard is down is disturbing. I personally have no problem with either interracial or gay marriage but you would be surprised at what people say in privet.

Hey, if that's your thing, go ahead. I can't even handle even one person invading my space...

I'm disturbed that people go through life with their guard up. What kind of world do we live in when you have to go through life keeping your political thoughts secret.

Humans evolved in groups separated by vast geographic barriers. Isolated breeding is why we have races.
