It is a very normal thing for me because everyone is eligible to fall in love with anybody regardless of where they are from, how their culture is like, and what language they speak. I'm a Malaysian and my husband is a Scottish, we have a bi-racial daughter. Though this situation always do amuse public in a way that it annoys us a lot but there is nothing I can do about it. We are a happy little family and that's what matters the most.
What Do You Think Of Inter-racial Relationships?

I doesn't even register in my mind. When two people who are from different countries or of different races have a relationship, I don't see what the problem is. If they care about one another, who care what they look like or where they're from.
Besides, it's not my place to judge them by their skin or place of birth.

I don't have a problem with it myself, but my parents do. God forbid that I bring home a White boyfriend. They want me to marry an Asian man, which I don't want. I'm interested in White Caucasian men. And my current online boyfriend is French, I'm Chinese.
Do you know that half of the children, born in inter-racial relationship, suffer by sterility? Just think about it. I was looking for my future wife by the nationality same as mine. I succeeded and I like that.hat is your view on inter-racial relationships? I, myself is into one.Yes, there are many barriers but we managed to overcome them. How about you? Would you be willing to have a relationship with a foreigner?
Listen to your parents! They much wiser than you think they do. There are a lot of Chinese girls. Are you sure your caucasian guy or that frenchmen won't break up with you after you'll have sex? How old are you?
It depends on the couple.
I'm an ethnic minority myself even though I was born in the States and have dated white guys in the past. Unfortunately there's still a lot of people who don't really see beyond race. (Their families.) My ex-boyfriends I came to learn over the years were racist, not blatantly so, but they still were racist. It took a while for me to realize it and when I did, it changed my views drastically. I guess now that I'm older I can understand why my mother was so adamant about me being in a relationship with another Asian. However, the thing is that most of the Asian boys are really into their Asian culture and I'm not. I know the good points and the bad points of both sides of the fence and honestly I don't fit with any of them. A couple who can overcome the emotional and cultural baggage that comes from the uphill battle of racism, are people to admire. However racism isn't something that will go away anytime soon and both sides can be equally racist against the other.

You are right . I dont know from which part of Asia you come. However, I understand there are huge cultural differences between the west and the east and it is not easy, especially for a gal, to adjust inter alia..
In India and Pakistan I have noted that gal and boy like each other and tell that to their parents who in turn investigate about the boy or gal and their family background and if it is okay they arrange marriage. This is quite secure way of getting wedded rather than the drastic way of choosing your mate through the trial and error method of dating. (involving sex)
I have no Idea how matches are fixed in China, Japan and the Far East....
but the western way of dating is trial and error method of finding a match and the loser in the game is woman. Perhaps I may be wrong because if have never dated a white or even black woman but can note from all around ....I dunno/????

I find it fairly amusing, but when I read the title I was thinking along the life of an Elf with a Dwarf. I began thinking about how I'm not even sure if they could co-populate because of possibly different genes.
The amusing part is that different human races being together didn't even cross my mind until I started reading some comments. I don't really see any problem with different races being together though. In fact it didn't even register in my mind. I don't think there's any issue with it nor do I see why people would cause a fuss about it. I guess it's just because of where I'm from, but people here don't think twice about it. It's just something normal. As long as you can understand each other a

Huh, do we even ask these kinds of questions? There's nothing wrong with it. Period.
So what if you're Asian and he's American? Apart from slight cultural differences, there's not anything to be considered a big deal right? If you love each other, then there's no problem. Even that cultural difference won't be an issue, you just both have to adapt to it.

hat is your view on inter-racial relationships? I, myself is into one.
I will be willing to have a relationship with a foreigner in a heartbeat. I am single because I have not found someone that I want to share my life with. It does not matter what color or language that person speaks if we can love and respect each other. I have a friend who is married to a foreigner and I find her so content because he treats her right.
Far East Asians are pretty similar in comparing family backgrounds, jobs and status before they approve or disapprove. My cousin was almost disowned because she married a guy who entered the military straight out of high school and didn't have a job beyond that. His family ties were also much lower than my own family's standing so they didn't want her in the relationship. I mean you can still choose, but your family still has a lot of say in whether or not they approve, it's not arranged- but you're expected to marry within your own social status or higher or risk being disowned.
It's more complicated than that. Even though a lot of people think they're not racist...they are- they just don't realize it because they've been told their entire lives that they aren't. They crack jokes on stereotypes and think that it's not racist...but it is, sure it's less hostile but it's still racism.
Racism comes in all shapes and sizes and I've gone through the violent forms and the passive aggressive forms. Either way it's not pretty nor is it easy. In my past relationships with white males, people assumed that I was a mail order bride even though I'm a US citizen by birth and even his parents didn't view me as the girlfriend but rather as a 'friend.'
If I were another white girl then yes I'd be considered the girlfriend because my exes' siblings with white girlfriends were introduced as such to family members, but I was always just a 'friend.' The reason why I said it depends on the couple is because it's just that. It takes a considerable amount of personal strength to weather through racism and other people's perceptions.

I don't think it should matter. I think if you are only attracted to your own race/ethnicity then that's fine, but I don't think there is anything wrong with dating outside of your race or culture. In fact, I think it would probably be very educational and people would learn a lot more. I've learned a lot about different cultures by talking to people that come from different backgrounds than me. I think it can really be a beautiful thing.

I view interracial relationships the same way I view relationships among the same race. It's normal to have interracial, interfaith, international, etc. kind of relationships. The world has become a small place. Love is love and race has nothing to do with it as we all belong to one human race. I'd be willing to have a relationship with a person I like, regardless of their nationality, race, religion, family lineage or culture.

I think it's a great thing, but at the same time I don't think that it should even be a "thing." Love is love and love has no color.

I think that interracial relationships are fantastic and fun. Anyone who says otherwise has a right to their opinion but honestly I don't see why anyone would base something as beautiful as love on color, age or anything really!
I have been in a lot of interracial relationships and know a lot of interracial couples who are extremely happy, married with children! There is just no two ways about this, it shouldn't even be an issue.

Yea exactly, it really should be a non-issue! But sadly whether we like it or not, I doubt it'll ever go totally away
I'm very happy to say I come from a country where we're for the most part colourblind. That's to say the majority of people here don't have any problem with colour. Wherever you go, you see interracial couples, nobody looks at them funny or attacks them, because it is now common place. Black and White people socialise together all the time! I'm Black and married to White man, my mum and dad are the same, many of our friends and relatives are in interracial relationships/marriages too.Our first president was married to an English lady and set the tone for the current harmonious race relations we enjoy in this country. He really left us an invaluable legacy. Our flag is even representative of this i.e the black in our flag represents the Black people of Botswana, the white signifies the White people of Botswana; living together side by side, in harmony

I've observed that a lot of these views and debates around interracial relationships often come out of America. My husband is English, and we lived in the UK for over a decade and never once in our time there did our being together ever raise any issues, negative reactions etc We were just another couple in other people's eyes. The same goes for where we are now, in my country of Botswana.
It always baffles me when people cite cultural differences as being one of the hurdles you'll face if you're in an interracial relationship. I can quite honestly say in the thirteen years we've been together, my husband and I haven't come up against anything so drastic as to threaten to jeopardise our relationship! I think these're just excuses. I have many mixed race friends, relatives and sisters; they don't face any problems such as identity crises or not being accepted by Black or White people. I find it totally bizarre, and I'm all the more appreciative of what I have and where I live when I hear of these horror stories coming out of America in this day and age, where you'd expect the best cultural and racial cohesion as it's one of the best melting pots of different races and cultures in the whole wide world!
