Would You/Have You Ever Dated Outside Your Race?

Well i think here again your friend might be a bit stereotypes.Not all of us accept things like this very few of us think differently but it is really not necessary that all of us have the same view.At a point of time for me it matters how my partner is, whether he is a hearty, lovable, respectfull etc.I dont mind for race at all, but before thiking for me i have to think about my family who might hardly accept my partner out of my race.

A very ignorant and archaic comment by the gal who think she is La Pizzaz. Personally, I think I really would like to date someone outside my race. I dont think the race makes any difference to my decision making on whether or not to date a particular person simply because they are of a different race.

HI lenapoo, I do understand that in some cultures, interracial partnerships are thought of as something weird or worse, disgusting. People do have different opinions when it comes to it because we are influenced by many factors. But sometimes, it's plain ignorance, and bias.

As for me, interracial partnerships are not new to me. It's almost very rampant here in the Philippines. I won't deny the truth that a large percentage of those marriages especially among Filipinas (female) and foreign men, are due to Filipinas seeking financial freedom. There are only very few people whom I have known who married someone from the outside race because of pure love. Although those people I have mentioned earlier did learn to love the foreigner truly eventually.

For me, as of now, I don't think I could go into a relationship with someone of another race except maybe if I did fall in love with the person, or I have known this person for a long time. Because I do consider safety too. Some women ended up exploited or raped after meeting with some foreigners they just knew online.

I think you should try to point your opinion out to this person and allow her to realize on her own that she may just be biased by saying such remark. If she insists on her own opinion, let her be.

Hi, I think your friend honestly told what was in her mind. You asked her a question and she answered. If you wanted her to answer to what you want to hear, then why in the first place you need to question? I agree of her expression for using the word 'other species', I guess you could have taken it in a sporty way instead of using that to judge her!

On 'your' opinion interacial dating has no harm and that's totally cool and that's your way of looking at it. She DON'T HAVE TO agree with you!

If you ask me, I have no issues with interacial dating or marriage as it's quite interesting to know a different culture and their life-style!

Keep lotting and have fun!!

lenapoo, i would definitely agree with the majority in your group. gone are the days when we used to be limited in our thinking in terms of caste,creed,race,etc. people are now no longer scared about mingling with people of other races,and are quite fascinated about the way people do things differently in other communities.

i, for one am engaged to a girl who belongs to a different community and am pretty much not perturbed at all.

I am European, my wife is from South-East Asia. Among the girlfriends that I had before I got married was an African girl from Cameroun, and a mestizo (I think that is the word) from Central America.

It is not the skin colour that it is important. It is the quality of the person.

I have not dated anyone out of my race but I don't mind doing so. I mean you don't judge a person from the colour of their skin but their hearts. I would really love to date someone outside my race because I have found no one that matches my thinking in my own race or my place. LOL!
For me looks are secondary I search for a passionate heart!:)

Species? Perhaps she is the one on the lower rung of the evolutionary ladder? What a sad individual.

On the lighter side....

I have dated outside my race...I learned a lot about human nature while involved with him. It didn't work out because of purely human reasons...he was a typical male chauvanist pig...hhhmmmm come to think of it maybe ALL males of ALL races are another species and us women are more the more 'evolved' species. LOL

To bad your friend is missing out on all the things she could learn from others of differing cultures.

I have dated outside my race in the past. I am white and European and I have had boyfriends from Asia and Africa. I don't think much about races, it is not important to me and I would welcome boyfriends or friends from any race. I have always had many friends from other countries, but the family where I grew up is sort of racist. My grandmother was very unhappy when she heard that I had found an African boyfriend, and she said a lot of bad things about him even though she hadn't even met him. That made me sad, because I love my grandmother very, very much, but I can't accept her racist opinions. I am married now and my husband is white, too but it wouldn't have been a problem to me if he hadn't been white.

Well for me interracial dating isn't already new. I live in the Philippines and a lot of races here mingle and mingle. Just at my school I see different nationalities and I myself hit on a lot of half japanese and chinese girls so yeah..I think I can safely say that I really don't mind.
