View Full Version : Interracial Marriages/ Relationships
Ca*Girl 07-17-2008, 11:08 AM I was just wondering how man of you ladies are in an interracial marriage/ relatioinship? If not are you ok with them or are you against them?
I am in a interracial Marriage. I am white and my husband is latino. My mom is in an interracial relationship she is white(duh lol) and her boyfriends is black. We also have a lot of family friends who are in interracial relationships.
If you are against them I would like to know your thinking on it
Germanchick 07-17-2008, 11:09 AM I'm in an international relationship. Does that count? We're both white but DH is American and I am German. To me it never mattered what color or gender combination a couple is. If a couple is in love, they are in love. Nothing else should matter
JKirstiH 07-17-2008, 11:11 AM I am in an interracial relationship. Doesn't phase us a bit. We love each other and that is all that matters.
ilovekale 07-17-2008, 11:11 AM we're interracial to an extent...i'm half japanese/half american and my hubby is hawaiian. but i am the product of an interracial marriage so i am all for it. i don't see anything wrong with it.

I like the way you think. And yes international counts as interracial. I also support gay marriage
infamousoreo 07-17-2008, 11:14 AM I am the product of an interracial marriage ( my mom is white, my dad was black). DB is white, and, well, I am obviously bi-racial. lol.
I grew up in Northern Virginia---It's super diverse here, and I have never seen/heard anyone make any comment about me being with someone of the opposite race. Majority of my friends even, are in interracial relationships.
I don't see any problem with it at all... love is love. I know that sounds cheesy and cliche.. but I just never understood why anyone would have a problem with something like that?
My moms parents ( my grandparents) were very racist, and NOT happy about my mom marrying a black man. When I was born, my mom called my grandma and told her that I was here... and the first words out of my grandma's mouth were "How dark is she?". Ignorance... haha.:screwy
browneyedbeauty 07-17-2008, 11:15 AM I'm black and he's white. I'd like to count that we're also in a differing cultural relationship. We were raised in different socio-economical settings and it comes up quite often.
FratchTX 07-17-2008, 11:16 AM I don't think it should make a difference what race/nationality/sexual orientation/whatever the people are. If the two people are committed and love each other than why should it matter to anyone else around them.
JBSQUEEN 07-17-2008, 11:16 AM I am in an interracial relationship I am Native American and my DB is Haitian. Also I have two daughters from my marriage and they are Native American/African American. All that matters is love and respect and if that is in the equation then that is all you need. We get the stares and comments but really we don't care....(L)(L)(L)
MaggieG0721 07-17-2008, 11:18 AM been in an interracial marriage for 3 years now, and loving every second of it. dh is black and i'm hispanic.

:agree
girl20racer 07-17-2008, 11:28 AM I guess I am in one.. However, I'm also the product of one :lol
I'm half samoan / half white..
Hubs is white..
lemc81 07-17-2008, 11:30 AM I am. DF is Hispanic and I'm White. It doesn't phase us. I actually don't even ever think about it unless I'm admiring his skin. :lol
LuvnMyMarine2008 07-17-2008, 11:30 AM I love my babe.. and race/nationality has never been an issue..
I'm Cuban and he's Haitian..
We (L) each other very much!!! :wub
soulfyre 07-17-2008, 11:42 AM I'm in an interracial relationship also. DB is white and I'm black. Idon't even think about it until we get stared at or someone in my family makes a comment. I don't care and he doesn't....He makes me SO happy!!
=Mrs.AiNokeA= 07-17-2008, 11:53 AM Yup I am! I'm Portuguese, Irish, Scottish, Dutch, German, English and Cherokee. DH is Japanese, Portuguese, tiny bit of Hawaiian and Chinese. :)
Gillian_Angela 07-17-2008, 11:54 AM I actually think it's so stupid there is such a stigma against them.
You love who you love!!! That's my opinion on it anyway :D
My father is a Slovenian & Sicilian and my mother is Polish/Hungarian, she's also Jewish and my father is Roman Catholic.
DB is Scottish, Irish, Welsh and German. And he is Catholic.
I was raised Jewish, and him Catholic. So we're different religions...lovin' each other. We'll probably have a Rabbi and a Priest marry us, like my parents did.
jen1982 07-17-2008, 11:54 AM I am white, Irish American(3rd Generation), and my husband is Mexican American(2nd Generation). His parents were the first generation of their families born in the USA. I love to learn about their culture, and to hear about their family's lives. It's a rather amazing story.
We don't have any problems, and neither do our families. I have only run into one person in real life that had a problem with it, and given my response, I don't think he will ever be bothering me again. :)
WGs_Grrl 07-17-2008, 11:54 AM I am...Always have been, always will be as far as I'm concerned. He's the bee's knees :smitten
*lauren* 07-17-2008, 11:59 AM As a complete mutt, i absolutely support interracial relationships. it's better for our bodies anyway!
CarLooSHoo 07-17-2008, 12:00 PM I'm not in one and I have nothing against them.
FTCWifey 07-17-2008, 12:00 PM I suppose I am in one, though I don't think of it. I am also the product of one. My mom is Jamaican and my dad is of Danish decent. And DH is of Irish decent and I am obviously of Jamaican-Danish decent.
Airman's.Reina 07-17-2008, 12:06 PM Me, me, me!!!
I'm Hispanic and my boyfriend is black. The only issues we have faced because of it is that my family hates him just because he's black. Oh, and because he loves me. :no
leanne 07-17-2008, 12:07 PM i am english, irish welch, cherokee, sioux and cheyenne and my dh is first generation mexican american.
i am completely for interracial relationships obviously lol
i look at it this way you love who you love and people against it should move on i mean they are not in love with them you are.
HollyJay 07-17-2008, 01:10 PM DH and I are both of the human race. That's what counts. Unless you're into beastiality, but I'm not commenting on that. :D
alyssa87 07-17-2008, 01:16 PM i'm not in one, but i definately have no problem with them.
my ex-db's sister is white & her dh is black and my cousin's dad is black & his mom is white.
i figure as long as you love the person, the color of the skin shouldn't matter & i can't stand people who treat others differently because of who they care about and are with.
ruby83 07-17-2008, 01:18 PM Im Filipino and DH is white, we dont mind what others have to say about us..
LittleMsSunshine 07-17-2008, 02:57 PM Can I just say.... bi-racial couples make the most GORGEOUS babies!!! :yes
Miranda 07-17-2008, 03:10 PM I am in an interracial marriage and its never been a problem for us. I was raised right, and know not to judge people by their color, job, financial class, or any other label that is so commonly handed out. I will raise our daughter the same way. I am aware, though, that she may have to go through situations or conversations that I never had to. It makes me sad, but I know that we are raising her to be self assured and intelligent, so I am confident that she will handle those situations if/when they come her way.
I am in an interracial marriage. Dh is black/ Indian and I am white.
Shaky 07-17-2008, 03:20 PM I'm not in an interracial relationship but in a multi nationalities one :P I'm Puerto Rican with some Italian blood, he's Cuan/American to me we are the same thing though.
There was a debate about this not too long ago and one day I was at the beach with DH and I was telling him about the debate going on here and I found this and had to take pics of it

I CALLED IT!!!!!!! :yay
kathy6504 07-17-2008, 03:31 PM Interracial relationship. I'm mexican and he is white. It doesn't bother us, it is HIS family that has made me face the worse prejudice i have ever encountered.. well actually, i have never faced any type of prejudice or discrimination until i met his family :[
BLBnJVB3 07-17-2008, 03:31 PM Not now.
I was in high school. I'm white and he is half white and half black. Somewhat longish story; short version though is my dad didn't approve and I didn't feel it was fair of me to have him in a relationship where he wasn't accepted by my father. Everyone else on my side didn't care. But my dad is the main person in my life on my side of the family so I decided it would be better for him to be with someone that did have close family that accepted him.
My hubby is Greek and so sometimes, especially up here, people think he is Mexican. He had a co-worker up here even ask him if he was sure he knew who his dad is cause to him he looks too Mexican to not be.
Also, my hubby's cousin has a baby. Her hubby is Puerto Rican. Oh my word. Let me tell ya. She is gorgeous. Between the Greek and Puerto Rican she has the most amazing skin color, hair, eyes, everything. She is just soooo pretty.
BzzzWife 07-21-2008, 10:06 PM He's a little bit country and im a little bit rock n roll :hystericlaugh
No seriously DH is white and im black... Most of my family date or are married to someone outside their race.
I Heart My LT 07-21-2008, 10:09 PM He's a little bit country and im a little bit rock n roll :hystericlaugh
No seriously DH is white and im black... Most of my family date outside their race.

BzzzWife 07-21-2008, 11:30 PM We always say this!!!! I am from the big city and he is from Montana!
I am latina/indian, he is white. (L)
:thinking Where in Montana is he from? How old is your SO? lol
Miss ♥ 07-21-2008, 11:37 PM I'm in an interracial relationship.
Shanoony 07-21-2008, 11:48 PM I'm not in one, but it really doesn't bother me. I don't pay skin color TOO much attention. I mean I didn't even know michael jackson was turning colors until a few years ago when it started being such a big deal!
Sarah982 07-21-2008, 11:53 PM I am in an intercultural relationship I guess...I'm from the US and he's from Puerto Rico. So he is Latino and I am not...however, we are both white, so it's not interracial. (On that note, I find it kind of interesting that people aare saying they are interracial because they and their SO are white and Hispanic. Hispanic/Latino is not a race...my boyfriend is a white Hispanic, his roommate is a black Hispanic. So you certainly can be in a white/Latino relationship that is interracial...but mine isn't!) Anyway, interracial or intercultural, either way I don't care, people should be with who they want to be with. In my own relationship, I've felt some disapproval from a few Hispanic women who as far as I can tell don't seem to think he should be with someone who doesn't speak Spanish, but that's all.
