interracial dating

[Holly]

Just curious to see people's thoughts on it.
Most people I know are accepting of it, but less would actually do it themselves.
I totally don't care about race, but my parents do. I'm kinda dealing with that drama right now, haha.

It doesn't really matter to me, it is about the person, not their skin color... and being biracial myself, the issue kind of pisses me off when people are all like "You should only date white people if you are white, etc."  :evil: lol.

... so what are all the biracial people supposed to do, only date other biracials?    :roll:

[Steveau]

I'm not attracted to girls of my own race so I'm definitely okay with interracial relationships. It works out since girls of my race probably aren't attracted to me anyway. It seems like girls of my species aren't attracted to me but I digress.  :cuss: LMAO

[Holly]

Yeah, I think it's stupid when people won't date someone of another race based on skin color. I don't care at all. But my parents wouldn't approve and my grandparents would be very upset. But I'm not going to let that stop me. I'm taking a biracial guy to a dance on Saturday, but just not telling my parents about it.

To be honest this poll is silly considering i couldnt imagine vanessa carlton attracting racist fans.  To be rascist in any form you have to be pretty damn ignorant as well.


Anyone who answers opposed to any race should be banned lol

Race doesn't matter to me at all.

My best friend just went through this issue with her family, her grandparents are very upset that her boyfriend is biracial, but finally have accepted it.  I'm pretty sure my grandparents would be the same way though, sadly.  Too bad though, they'd get over it.

I'm glad to see the majority here agree  
Vanessa fans rock

I'm against it. The races shouldn't mix. Black goes with black, white goes with white. Period.

No dating is interracial. There is only one race.

It's not just a cliche either. It has scientific validity. It has been known to science for years that the genetic variation between any two people in the world is typically just 0.2%. The portion of this variation that can attributed to 'racial differences' is trivial compared to the variation that can be attributed to 'within race differences'.

Race is a redundant word. Why not classify people by nose size or leg length instead? Why not question whether we'd date somebody with significantly different fingerprints to our own?

If you won't date 'interracially' then you are shallow*, ignorant, racist or some combination of all three.

* I'm not trying to judge here. Almost all people, myself included, are shallow to some extent. If you won't date a person because you aren't attracted to the physical characteristics of that 'race', then that's different to being racist. But, because race is purely a phenotypical divide, it's still shallow.
