What do you guys think about interracial marriage/dating?
I know that some people are strongly against it. That kind of surprised me, but I've seen the way that some couples are looked at in the public place.

If a couple have feelings for each other, they have feelings for each other. That is my personal view on it.
I'm all for it. People can live their lives however they want to, and the biases of others should in no way be forced on them.

That is what I think, but I go to a very diverse school. Some of the "white" boys look down on the girls that date guys from another race. I talked about it with one of them. I know that I can't force him to change his mind. The only thing that I can do is to let him see the other point of view.
No offense but whoever is against interracial relationships are just stupid idiots. *cough* Racist *cough*
What viable argument do they have against it? It's even worse than gay marriages. We are all human aren't we? It's not like someone's dating a fish or some other species so why do we treat other races like that?
I think the reason that people stare is because interracial relationships are often rare, thus it's something strange or new to them.
Sorry for my temporary burst of anger but I really don't see any debate in this. If anyone has something to say though I'm looking, as always, for a--er--debate. :cool:

That's what I thought too. There shouldn't be any debate in racism. It is wrong and that is that!
Seeing as how I'm black and have an aisian boyfriend....well, you do the math.
But I used to go to a school where there were lots of cliques. I mean, it wasn't a big deal for most people as to interracial dating but, sometimes the clique situation got in the way. And then I went to a school that was, well, very diverse. Interesting change there- there were some people against inter-national dating. We had this thing about the hispanics and they were very proud of their nationality (as in- call anyone who wasn't mexican mexican, and you might have something bad happen to you). But I believe that was more gang related. Oh, and there was something else I saw awhile back...an organization that was highly against interracial anything...I'll see if I can find it.

People are just not used to seeing other races mingling. Even if we live in such a diverse country, people still have preconcieved notions of others. It's just the way humans are. But personally, I don't have a problem with it. As long as the couple is happy, it's all good.

O no, it's not the way people are. People are not born racist. It is a learned trait. I mean seriously, are you telling me that if two baby's, one black, one white, are playing that the white baby is going to be like "no, I'm not going to play with him, he's black!"
I try not to look at an "interracial couple" any differently than I would look at a couple of the same race, but I can't help but feel triumphant and happy when I see the former, because (and this is just a personal feeling, not even an opinion) it seems a lot more likely that those two people would really know and care about each other, more so than any average couple. The fact that they chose to be together instead of with other people that might make them feel more comfortable makes me really, really happy.
Yea.... *reads over the paragraph* That made me sound racist, and cynical, and unintelligent. But it's hard to add anything to a debate that is so obviously one way that any opponents would be afraid to speak up lol!

The sad thing is, its not just even "interrracial couples" as straightforward as two completely different ( ex. Black and white, etc ) races that people turn the other way at - my boyfriend is half african and half british so he is a dark brown, Im half british as well but instead of being dark im one step away from being albino and we have gotten some of the most bizzare when we're out in public. Im my opinion love does not know race or skin color and as soon as people learn to accept that - the better off they will be.
