People may have concerns about religion and/or culture and/or language being passed down in families. Stereotypes about certain groups may be perpetrated if interracial relationships are viewed a certain way.

Also, it annoys me that people think that if people just keep sleeping and procreating with others of different skin colour that it will change the world or eliminate racism, or that the simple fact of being in an interracial relationship makes you more enlightened or tolerant. It doesn't. People have different reasons for being in interracial relationships and they can raise a whole set of new concerns. There have been interracial relationships since the dawn of time and it hasn't stopped racism up to now.

AMEN speak the truth sista .....

How come people call interracial relationships.. "biracial" ? I thought biracial meant one person that is born of parents not of the same race ? Or are they understood as the same thing ?

I'm mixed...so yeah guess I technically I married interracially. I don't think he and I think of it that way though..what seemed important to both of us is marrying another Jew..and well we did that.. LOL!

I like, appreciate, and respect what Amneris had to say on this issue though.

Oh.. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel any sort of way about it. It was just a question.. I honestly wasn't sure if the word biracial was understood to include romantic relationship between people of different races or not. I was really asking.

Coming in kinda late to the group, but i like seeing interracial relationships! (i think it'd be weird if i didn't though, since i'm half black and half white :P) i guess it's kinda nice seeing interracial couples cuz i feel like i'm seeing two tolerant people, which is nice for me since i don't see interracial couples very often!
I guess all the relationships i've been in were interracial since i've never dated a guy the same mix as me! When i've dated black guys i'd get stares and when i've dated white guys i get even more stares and i've even had people say stuff like "i didn't think you'd date white guys. why don't you date in your race?" i'm always like "ummm, WHAT?" dunno what some people's problem is!

I have to get custom made condoms for my BF because the commercial ones don't fit.

He's white.

New people and place, especially in south TX, exausting is all I have to say. Love who you love and forget the rest.

You guys are too adorable! But I am about to say something weird...um don't judge. Have you ever heard that theory about how couples gravitate toward people who look like them? Well, you guys kinda look alike. Not in a sibling way obviously...oh, let me stop before I sound stupider than I already do!

But you guys make a lovely-looking couple!

I have never dated anyone of another race but it was because I never was asked out by anyone. I had crushes on all different people throughout my teens years. White, black, Asian, short, tall, slim, overweight, long haired, short haired, bald headed and so on. It's more personality that I notice. I am white, my husband is white and that's just because he's the one I feel in love with. I'd have married him even if he was blue and wore a white hat and pants.

I dated outside of my race when I was fresh out of high school. I have never had a "real" relationship with anyone of another race. Other races look and comment that I am beautiful but never really took the plunge to ask me out as I became older and more mature. Not sure maybe they think ugly or not worth it, who knows.

It doesn't bother me when black men date out of their race. What bothers men is when black men speak negatively about black women. We are stereotyped and I'm not sure why because I see and hear white women doing and saying the same thing we do and say. Hmmm! Scratching my head...

Are you joking or being serious (I stink at figuring out tone via the interwebs, sorry)?

Blame it on the cell phone...

He'd just buy whatever if I didn't, even though he complains about the fit of commercial ones. I'd rather have them properly fit than break.

I'm the one who would get pregnant, so I'll order them. He gives me money every other order.

scientist do predict that if races continue to mix the recessive genes or mutated genes that lead to "white" traits, such as lighter skin or blue eyes for example, will eventually no longer exist.

I read an article on it when working on my bs degree. it was about engineering children, pretty much people can "design" their kids. It's hypothesised that the extremes of skin tones and such will eventually go extinct (whiter skin and darker skin), so that overtime and generations we will be more homologous looking.

does that make sense? if i can i'll find the article and post it.

I don't see an issue with interracial dating. It's whatever to me. I've been sexually attracted to almost all races. Mostly ones outside my race since I'm a minority race. But the only 2 guys I have seriously dated happened to be my race(although one was a completely different culture), go figure. I've concluded it's a comfort level thing.

Ideally I'd like to marry within my race and religion. I like it and would like to pass that on if I were to have kids. Even without kids, there's a certain understanding there that I find to be very nice. If it doesn't happen, that's fine too, I'm open and not getting any younger, lol. My sister is marrying a white guy, which was predictable, most of her friends are white and that's her environment and culture. My parents weren't too thrilled about it but they are dealing with it. We have 4 other interracial couples in our family. Everyone loves them but there was always some tension at first and is still a small discomfort level.
