is it wrong for people to date outside their race?

why would it be? Of course not! People shouldn't be chosen according to their skin color or anything like that as you have mentioned. If the person has the qualities that you are looking for in someone who you would date, then the race is not important if you already like him or her. Most of the times that kind of issues are ciriticised by third parties. Not the sides who are dating. I mean, you would be happy with your boyfriend, or girlfriend and she( or he) might be feeling the same for you. HoweverThis certainly wouldn't result anything like any of them to think "it is wrong to date someone outside my race" if there is no effect from outside. Most of the people who carry the poisonous blood of racism will always try to ruin their relationship. They will always try telling how hard the stuff could get and will try to take them towards their side in order to create some troubles between the couples and most of the times it is not very hard for them if they are already relatives of one of the sides. I think whole world and billions of people have a lot to learn about in this issue. Not only in race but also in religion. Many people would ciriticise a relationship of someone who is dating with another person who believes another religion. they will also do what racists (or facists) do. They will tell meaningless stuff to put them opposite eachother. While the religion is to attach the people each other with a better manner, in this case they are using holy believes for the opposite reason. How insane...

heck no i think it beautiful to me , more people should , like to me its one person exploring a different world that they never knew and they learn new things thru that person of another race , my sister and i never were taught to like one race , i guess it had to also do with us being army brats going all over the place to different countries and seeing different people..

I reckon if we continue to date people outside of our race, maybe one day in the distant future we will all look the same which would be great for man kind because there would be no possibility of discriminating against people based on their looks. Though obviously that is not something we will be able to enjoy in any of our lifetimes.

I definitely don't think there is anything wrong with dating people of other races. Like you said, we are all the same on the inside and what is on the outside is not important. I think that as long as two people truly love each other and really want to be together. As long as the two people are happy together and treat each other well, I think that is all that matters! :)

Hi there. I wouldnt say it was wrong to date outside ones race, Although in some cultures its looked at as being wrong, I would rather call it unfair, especially when two people love and care for each other. After all why would you live your life to please others, and then end up being unhappy for the rest of your life. I wouldnt anyway and I dont think its wrong in any way at all. Have a neat day...

What? No, I don't think so. I myself am a product of different races...4, I think. So if was bad to mix with other races, then I guess I wouldn't be here. LOL! You are right, people are exactly the same biologically, anywhere you go. Races only matter in genetic diseases as these illnesses affect certain races preferentially. Other than that, we all look the same in our x-rays and scans. Heck! No one even dares to identify the race of a person using just x-ray films or scans. Maybe I can make a game out of it and have some fun with my students. Hahahaha. It will scare the hell out them. *uh-hrm* Back to my point, no, I really don't think it matters at all. What matters most, in my opinion, is that one should respect, honor and observe the differences in cultures of one's date. Of course, not to say the least, you wouldn't date someone whom you are not attracted too, right? Besides, the bottom line is, if ever, you will be the one having the relationship, so the important thing is you find yourself happy with the other person. All the rest are just whispers in the wind. :)

yea i agree with you, inside we are all the same. skin color only maters to those who only see with there eyes and not with there hearts.

definitely not. as long as they love each other, their race has nothing to do with it like me and my bf. i guess some people would think it wrong because of their tradition or either discrimination
