I've dated and married an American, less of a different race, more of a different species.:eek
Dating other races?

My concerns would be along the lines of some who think of how it would effect children that were of mixed race if it were to come to childbearing and rearing. The factors for that would depend on where they lived, and if they were in a more or less tolerant environment, and of course their maturity level in considering this from the onset and handling repercussions.
If cultural stuff comes into play, that is another concern, and not just for my own kid, but for the other too, as both have a struggle and compromise with that. Also, I don't worry about my girl child getting sucked into male dominance cultural stuff...it just won't happen, she is too independant. Experiencing a stint with it some years ago, she overcame it, got out of the relationship, and confronted the jerk when he stalked and threatened her. Being someone that learns from her mishaps, she regauged her antennae to more resilient guys that weren't as emotionally tied in to this behaviour. It was hard for me to stand back and let her make her own moves, but she did well. I wanted to kill the jerk.
Anyway, back to the original question of race...no, I have no qualms as long as they own their individuality, don't have knock down drag out spraws where one difference overcomes and squelches another, and as long as respect goes both ways. In many aspects is like any other relationship except they will take on the burden of others attitudes and tolerances as well as their own. Family included.

I don't do it myself. But if my son brought home someone of a different race. I would be happy, as long as she makes him happy.
different generation natasha,as each generation grows they become more tolerant...except jamaicans,they'll be flying the swastika before long

Jewish on my dad's side
My girlfriends black
If we ever have a kid together there's no way he or she's dating that's anyone but a pure quarter mexican quarter white half black... jew.
Cause I believe in racial purity

So go fuck the washing machine.
I wouldn't want to go with a little green man either. I don't swing that way.

Yes, well, at least anthropologically speaking, you'd be OK to do people from India and the Middle East, who are Caucasian (which is not synonymous with white, BTW).
Anthropology is the only scientific discipline that actually addresses race, and the only four are Veddoid (SE Asian) Mongoloid (China, Mongolia, etc) Caucasoid (Caucasus Mountain region of Asia) and Negroid (Africa/Australia). Biologists and geneticists are apparently of the opinion that it's all pink on the inside.
Which has been my opinion. They all feel about the same to me. Mom did not approve of me associating with several groups, let alone date them, but call it a generational gap.

yes,us humans are pretty good
That is your prerogrative. What about dating, or socializing?
I'm Asian, but I've never dated an Asian guy. My current boyfriend's white, and all my exes were white (one was half white, half Mexican). Several of my aunts married white guys, and my stepdad's Mexican. My family doesn't mind the difference in race, so long as they're not a darker race. >.> My uncle's been with this Guyanese lady for maybe 15 years or so, and my aunts will say Burmese words for black people behind her back. It sucks cause she's really nice. I don't really know why, but Asian people generally do not like black people. *shrug*

I'm good with that, I don't have any problems with other races. My children are part mexican. But pretty much I'm only attracted to white guys.
