interracial love is great....if people love each other their race shouldn't matter. |

Dear Marquis and others who are concerned of what others think.
There is no need to be concerned. Obviously, just being in a interracial relationship you are expressing your opinion and that you don't care what others think. So, why are you complaining? Just restating/updating the article, on June 24, 2007 a Gallop poll was posted and it stated that 77% of Americans are not bothered by interracial relationships and 6% don't care one way or the other. Since most people either approve or just don't care there is no need to complain or make hostile looks at those who look your way. But, if you really are bothered by that 17% of people you could always join a support group. In fact most states offer support groups for those in an interracial relationship. Unless there is evidence to the contrary, no physical harm has been done to those in interracial relationships. But if you still think people don't approve, why don't you start a interracial community. In fact there probably alot of couples who feel the same as you do, not only would you be benefitting yourself, but you might be helping out alot of people who are in need. |

Interracial relationships should be socially acceptable and not frowned upon by culture. Many historical events have occured for the sake of segregation and acceptance of other cultures. For example, The Declaration of Independence states that all men are created equal. This means everyone of every race and culture. Interracial relationships occur every day in most cultures, especially America, therefore, people are exposed to seeing the couples in public. The majority of Americans know someone of a different race or culture that they see often; this is considered an acquaintance or a relationship (not a romantic one). Even though all interracial relationships work, they should still be accepted by a society and not dissapproved. Stereotypes should be discarded when assessing the people around you. People should not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the character of their heart. Interracial relationships are an everyday occurance between people who look past the exterior and see the heart; the rest of America should learn to do the same. |

i dont think interracial relationships should be a problem.... I think people should just stop judging and let others be happy with the one they want to be happy with.... Love should really be color blind... |

I agree with the 70% of people that are open to interracial relationship. I would like to see an article on bi-racial children and young adults since our country is becoming more open. Being a bi-racial young adult myself, I know I will be able to instantly connect with the article and the other bi-racial children understanding the confussion and lost feeling that most do. It really does seem to tear a person in two. Thanks for reading. |

I think this article had very good points. People need to start looking at people for who they are and not what color they are. |

I'm an Indian guy (from South India, Asia) and I fell in love with an American girl who is more than 5 years younger than me. She is 15, while I'm 20+. It is still an online+onphone relationship, but we are going very strong after many struggles. We had been in relationship for more than 1 year, before which we were very close friends for a year. I'm really not sure how my parents are going to react to this, but however it is, they won't be able to stop me from marrying this girl. We have already planned to marry and spend a life together, although the marriage will be when she's 21. I was not looking for a particular race or culture, nor was I looking for an online relationship. I was only praying to God for a girl who would love me truly from her heart, and whom I would love truly from my heart. God gave her to me. We are of same faith - Christian, which is the main reason why we began the relationship. I'm a Christian and I was hoping for a Christian girl who would love me deeply, and that's how I found her. I'm sure, six years from now, our marriage is going to take place in God's counsel! She is a really great person with an amazing heart that loves me truly! I'll never trade her for a girl of my own race. It really doesn't matter what race your girl is from, or whether it's your own race or some other race. All that matters is the heart. Because you're going to live with a person, not a body. The core of a person is his/her heart, not the skin. Think of it as buying a computer with really powerful graphics but maybe bad outward design, as against buying a computer with really cool design but bad graphics card! Well if you're a computer nerd like me, you'll understand the difference. :) |

This article adds to what I have already been thinking. I have been finding myself steadily more attracted to a young lady I work with who is of another culture. The major things holding me back are not knowing enough of her culture to not offend her and having friends and family that are racially biased. I would feel really bad if she were offended or treated badly. I am just at a cross road here and don't know where to go next.
I also have one comment/question: Can't we all just agree that there is only one race - the human race. Why do we have to use the word race as a root? Why not culture? Instead of interracial relationships, we should see them as intercultural. |

i don't see any problem dating outside a different race because the only thing that really matters is that you truely love that person. and i think alot of people don't see that today . it has nothing do with the color of your skin but your personility and thier heart. |

I think that it's sad that people are still so quick to judge someone in an interracial relationship. This is the year 2007, not 1957, and we as a society have to move on. I cannot stand the looks I get from both black and white people when I am with my girlfriend. I usually return their inquisitive looks with an evil glare of my own, as if to say: "Mind your own damn business." I started dating my current girlfriend because of the type of person she was and how her personality suited mines. I don't care about skin color, I am not fascinated with any stereo-types about why black men want white women, because they are usually perpetuated by unintelligent people, unable to extinguish the racist within themselves. In searching for hapiness in a relationship, I didn't just look to one specific "race" of women, my main criteria was personality and how I felt mentally, physically and emotionally with this person. We, as Americans, have a very long way to go to show that we've actually learned something from slavery and the Civil Rights Movement and the negative images it has portrayed upon both black and white America. I even hate to use the term "black and white" because underneath that layer of different pigmented skin, we are all the same. |

I must say I (being black) never thought I would ever fall for white guy, but to my surprise I did. To make matters worse I am not only black but I am also a practicing Muslim (yes, I even cover my hair). In any case I know for sure the odds are way, way, way against us and we don't even know how to tell our parents or where to start, but I have high hopes (although scared). I fear his family will say don't be with the "terrorist" or something like that which will really hurt my feelings. I also fear my family will object due the fact he is not Muslim, although they are very open to any race they are not so with any religion. We are really in love and we know what we want, but we just don't know how to get there. So to those of you who are having black/white issues, this should make you feel a little better since it could have been worse. Plus, we are not even too young ... both mid twenties, mature, but still scared of our parents. |

People need to get over themselves and realize that people are going to be with people we are all human...human to human connection that is what I am all about forget, race, or even gender it's all the same. |

My husband and I "fought our feelings" back in 1980. We married who we were "supposed to." Then, after our failed marriages and nasty divorces.....He has 2 children, (grown) and 4 grandchildren. I have 3-(2 grown) and 1 still at home. Now we have been married for 3 wonderful years. I guess that's one thing about approaching 50 that feels good. Maturity. And thankfully we both raised our children with love for everyone. It just seemed "natural" to our children when we reunited and decided to marry. My boys love my husband. Love and respect hold's the hand of most everything that is good. My lesson: Be true to yourself, it beats "going crazy" |

I think that people need to face the fact that others are going to date who they want to date, no matter the race ! |

I ended a relationship 15 years ago because of family pressure (We were both 22 & at college together). We have always stayed in touch & recently have discussed trying again. We both have maintained strong feelings and think we missed out on a great future together because of racism within my family. |

Internracial marrages are often successful than from with in the community, for there is always something interesting in each others cultures and back ground, if we are not prejudiced... all the more we are all human beings, love is an important ingredient, we can be tempted at times in terms of food, dress code or relegion... if from the same relegion defferent race may not have much defficulties regrding racing kids.... |

Its hard work-I walked away from a great White man because of the social and political pressure.Being an acitivist-it was just too contradictory.But the heart is fickle and maybe our struggle is about choice and true inclusion.I miss him like crazy. |
