Would You/Have You Ever Dated Outside Your Race?

Well I am someone of mixed race. I am half Korean, a quarter Scottish, and a quarter German. I have dated people of different race before but it was not a big issue. Its not like dating someone of a different race is doing anything wrong or unnatural. Love is universal no matter your skin color, disabilities, or age. It's a shame that your friend feels the way that she does. A relationship, love, should be based on what is inside the person rather than their outer appearance. People cannot help the way they look, it is wrong to judge someone solely upon it.

I dated a man nearly ten years ago who was white. We got along great but we were both under a lot of pressure from friends and family members, mainly on his side. We stopped dating after a month. I personally do not see a problem with dating outside of your race, as long as you are good to each other and you do not allow others to interfere in your relationship. Eventually, it will drive you apart.

My first thought on reading this (sorry for this) was she is ignorant. Species??? Im sorry we are all of the same species, all human. We all can feel pain, happiness, love and we all bleed the same. I dont think I could be friends with someone like that.

Now to say, yes I could date outside my race as I look at the inside of a person and not just the outside.

I dated outside my race twice. The first time...I was in love with this man, but our relationship could not take the constant outside interferences from our friends and family. Also, our cultural differences became an issue...so we had a bitter break up. We dated for six months.
The second guy I dated outside of my race turned out to be a real head case. Two months into our dating relationship,he started acting really weird. Also, I discovered picture of one of the band members of Nsync taped on the ceiling in his bedroom. Enough said about that stuff and why we broke up.
Thanks for opening this discussion so I can share my experiences.
