Interracial Marriage; What do you think??

For those who don't know Interracial marriage is basically when a person on one race marrys someone from another race. Examples: White Guy married to an African-American Woman, Asian-American married to a African-American and so on...

On the surface not too big of a deal, but when a relationships goes further. How far will you go. Will your parents approve? Will you care? What kind of Wedding will it be? What culture will you use? Will it affect your kids? How good and true are these relationships? What will others think?What will you think? Are you in Love? Are you being rebelious? Are you filling a fantasy or a dream? Many believe its wrong to have interracial marriages and we should all marry into our own race. Many have already started Interacial marriages. Elders use that"strips and spots" lecture you might have heard of. Are they right? Should we only marry those with the same skin color? Or is it wrong to limit yourself, Is Love Truly Stronger?

Now I'm not being racist to anyone and it's also against the rules to post racial remarks so keep that in mind. But really If you wanted to marry someone from another race would you or even could you?

Why? or Why not? (consider that questions above)

There's nothing wrong about marrying someone from a different country/race (I hate the word race by the way)/culture.

Hitler was the one who believed in the superiority of a certain race and we all know what that made, it led us to the second World War.
If some religions tell you not to love someone because of their color skin, they're simply obsolete and shameful. I believe all people are equal, and love should be a genuine feeling, it doesn't matter who you love, as long as your love is true.

I have nothing against interracial marriage. In fact, love has no limits. It is the person within that someone falls in love with and not the color of his/her skin.

I come from a long line of family that has married Spaniard with Spaniard except for my mother's side, where my grandpa was Portuguese and my grandma was Spanish. The con to this long bloodline is my family is likely going to be harsher on other races. I have been forbidden to date African-Americans, but it's because of the bad experiences and perspectives my parents have gained from being in this country. However, my views vary from my family's because I grew up in a multi-cultural society.

If I were to say Im against it, then I would be hypocritical because my boyfriend is Cambodian and I am Spaniard. I appreciate his culture and love the language he can speak. The fun that is involved in learning one's culture is unmeasurable. I enjoy the diverse cultures that we have in the United States. It should be celebrated rather than frowned upon. The manner, in which a interracial relationship can survie, is understanding, being flexible, and appreciating the person's culture.

Pneapple hit the nail on the head. If it's true love, religion is the trivial part.

30 years ago, there probably would have been problems, but the world has progressed massively in these past years, so it's common to see people from different races and religion datng each other

Personnally i have no problem with dating a female of any skin, or religion, as Angelichottieds said it would be fun to learn about a different culture

I don't think that there is any problem with interracial marriage. If the woman that I fell in love with and wanted to spend the rest of my life with was of a different culture than myself than that would not be a problem for me or my family.
You also have to bear in mind that the we are all essentially one race with different coloured skin to adapt to our living conditions. So like Pineapple said there are not different races of humans, rather different cultures.

There isn't a problem, if someone wants to marry someone, let them, we are all humans afterall. It's not like marrying a diffrent animal.

Of course I have nothing against that, heck Im portuguese... how many portuguese women am I going to find in Wisconsin? Odds are probably none. Love doesn't come with the skin color it comes with what the person truly is

Im perfectly fine with it.

My aunt was married to a Jamaican man at one point, and had a daughter, and now she's married to a Muslim guy and has 2 kids with him.

I see them all often and it doesn't bother me.

I'm loving all the reply guys and gals and I totally agree, but i want to see another perspective and it's reasoning. So What if say, yeah your of age and should be aloud to marry anyone you want but once you propose or whatever your respective culture does and you go to your parents. They(parents) don't approve, would you elope or not marry or even see each other again? Yes this generation of our is truly not the same as it was 30-40 years ago but your parents are that generation. However , these are the people that gave you birth, raised you, cared for you and you decide not to listen to them upon such a huge matter? What if they're right and you end up crying to your parents anyway? What if their wrong and you have the most successful mariage ever? How do you think parents feel?

And may I say dating someone and marriage isn't the same, yes dating involves severals things in marriage but it not marriage, dating is fun and it's not as heavy a commitment.

For me to say Inter Racial marriage is wrong would kind of be hypocritical against myself... Being that I'm of multiracial descent. Love is blind, so for people to jdge other couples based on what color the other might be isj ust wrong. You're hating because it's something you, yourself don't have.

I think it's all based on ignorance. People, especially Americans, are still in that mindset that you should stay in your own race. Cause I guess it's considered right to be a Pure Bred... or whatever person. I'm not, so I'm automatically out.

It is absolute ignorance to think that interracial marriage is ANYTHING but ok. What is a racial boundary other than a color anyways? A Black man, and a white woman still make a child.

Yes but not all of society sees it that simple. That generation that are comfortable with this stuff are still out thier and most them make the rules. Some have cahnged and are more secular but Some dads don't want thier "sweet and innocent" girl to even date other colors. I know its just the color issue most of the time but thats the biggest thing that stands out.

It doesn't bother me but;
No matter how much i like or love them i'll never marry a black, asian or anything other than my own ethnicity let alone race. I gotta continue my family name, w/o me it gets slimer. Therefore I stick to my own race. anyways, alota Italians and Irishmen are like that.. either that or Italians marry Irish.
