I dont think,that there is anything wrong with marrying someone of a different race..as long as they love each other.I dont think,I would..only because,I see my nieces and nethews..they always tell me..they dont know..where they belong too..it makes me sad,and I tell them..often,that they dont have to pick...just to be themselves.

No,it is not a problem at all to marry someone of a different race. I am from a country of 3 main different races and I have a few friends who have married with someone from a different race with a different religion. The main things is you have to be an open hearted and acceptable person in relation to the culture and tradition of your partner. I have a cousin who have married someone from German and her marriage is a happy and blessed one with 2 lovely kids.

I thin it's ok as long as you are prepared for all the comments that get thrown your way. Also, if you have children you have to be strong for them. People can be cruel and unforgiving. It's not an easy road.

I personally don't have anything against interracial marriage. But I do know how cruel others can be, and the one thing that I think both partners have to consider are the children they will have. This also depends on which country you live in and where in that country. Some are more tolerant, and the children would have no repercussions. But in some areas the children may have it rough and be ostrasized not only by their peers but by the adults, too. The area where you live will also depend on whether the 2 that are married will be accepted into normal society. So I think there is still a lot to consider about it.

well, since all humans belong to the same species..Homosapiens, I feel it is okay. Now if you were to ask if it was okay to marry a donkey or a sheep..I might have problems with that (unless of course you live in the Scottish Highlands).

That maybe correct but would be difficult for chinese I believe they still keep that culture they were born with.

Yes it is okay as long as you love each other and as long as you are both human beings. =) There are a lot of marriages from different races which last. It only depends on the couple how to make their marriage work despite of their cultural differences. Since marriage is a give and take relationship, from the beginning of their relationship they should talk through what culture would be followed in their future homes and by their future kids. They may mix and match or one of them should embrace the culture of the other. It would be hard at first but if you really love the person you can do anything for him or her to be happy.

Absolutely! If two people are in love, they should be able to get married, regardless of skin color. Love is love!

I think its completely okay. I for one is married to a Canadian while I am filipino. Race is not a factor to consider anyway if you'll have a great marriage or not so why worry.
