Do you agree with inter-racial marriage?

There are some nationalities who strongly oppose marriage with people of other races, that if a member of the family insists to marry someone from other nationality that member will be disavowed and denied of inheritance. But there are some nationalities also who seek marriage outside of their nationality. What is you opinion to this?

I could not care less about interracial marriage - but then, I grew up with it. My uncle is married to a Japanese woman. Also, I'm an Air Force brat (now an Air Force spouse) and it's very common in the military.
I don't really see why some people get in such a tizzy over it. It's hardly like we have a white guy wanting to marry a goat or something (although I wouldn't be surprised if someone, somewhere, tried to).
I look at it like this: if it wasn't okay, if it wasn't something natural, then interracial couples wouldn't be able to procreate (see man with goat - no procreation there), and the parts wouldn't fit. You know, like maybe white people have circle shaped genitals, and latinos have sqaure ones, and black people have...I don't know, pick a shape, you see where I'm going here, right?
All the parts fit, babies can be made (my cousins are beautiful people), therefore I see it as normal and natural.

I think it shouldn't be frowned upon. People of different color think the same, and usually act the same of coarse in a sense of their own personalities. If I were to get married to a man of a different race and my parents said they will disown me then so be it. I will still love my parents the same but they can't stop me from doing something I want and think is right.

I can not totally understand why some parents would not allow inter-racial marriage. I can't see any justification to that kind of attitude.

people grew up in different circumstances, My grandma disapproved of a boyfriend I had but I am thankful that she didn't call him a mongrel or anythng *because he was mixed* she would have flipped if she knew he was part black, because I think she thought he was part mexican or something... It' just how people grew up I think, and what they were taught.

I agree with inter-racial marriages. If two people love each other their nationality does not matter. It helps though if they speak the same language. Perhaps a man from Nigeria marries a lady from Canada and they have children they will have a lovely dark skin color. They would have duel heritage and should be proud of that. I have taught a little girl with a French mother and an English father. They lived in England. It was wonderful to hear their daughter speaking French at playtime with a little girl from Martinique. I am divorced now but once I married an Australian man. My family accepted my ex-husband but not everyone's is as understanding as mine. I think it is sad if parents say their child will denied inheritance if they marry a different race. If the worst case the parents of a child say they will disown them if they marry a different race. I once knew a girl with Indian heritage that was scared that she would be disowned if her parents found out she had a white British boyfriend. It would therefore be difficult for such a couple to marry with the lady having such unfair parents. My friend from Bangladesh had an arranged marriage. Certainly if she he wanted an inter racial marriage her parents would have said no.

Inter-racial marriage helps in uniting the people of the world -with a united world wars would be avoided.

I myself am involved in inter-racial relationship... I've always been... I'm Korean & my girl friend is white... I didn't really plan it that way, it just happened... I moved to U.S. when I was 14 years old & then I wasn't really old enough to date... As I got older, not that I was looking for somebody outside of my race on purpose, I just happened to be around people who were outside of my race... I'm the only one in the family of an older brother & an older sisiter who hasn't gotten married yet but I am living with my girl friend... I also have a daughter from my previous "inter-racial" relationship... She's 8 now & part Korean, part German, part Irish... My current girl friend is mostly Irish & part German... I personally believe we all belong to a same race called, "Human Race"!!!
