I've never dated anyone of another race, sadly.

Here in the US, there are still many people who disapprove of interracial marriage, and many of them think it is morally wrong. This feeling is especially prevalent among conservatives, and members of the Republican party. Historically, the feeling has also been much more common among white people than among blacks. news.gallup.com/poll/117328/marriage.aspxA poll from 2011 found that almost half of Republican respondents from the state of Mississippi said that they believe interracial marriage should actually be legally banned (like it was in many localities before the Supreme Court outlawed such laws 50 years ago). Ok, you might be wondering why I bring up marriage when the question was just about romance. Well, for many people, the idea of "romance" includes the possibility of sexual intimacy. But historically, a large percentage of Americans have believed that sex between people who are not married to each other is morally wrong. That includes a Gallup poll from earlier this year that found that 28% (that is, more than 1 in 4) said sex between an unmarried man and an unmarried woman is morally wrong.

I couldn't tell if they didn't like the concept, or were just wondering how I was out with a beautiful woman.

I find it interesting.......ESPECIALLY the whole male-female 'dynamic' when it comes to white/black relationships. Is it just my imagination, or is it MUCH likelier that a black/white interracial couple will consist of a black male with a white female, rather than that of a black female paired with a white male? And if this is actually the case, why ?? SAVE FERRIS

I have never dated anybody of a different race. There is a concerted effort to make people feel comfortable with it. So many commercials and tv shows have interracial couples

Is it a different dynamic\sphere, if same sex couples are interracial, as opposed to opposite sex? my white, female high school best friend has been in a long term (15 years?) relationship with a black woman. Unfortunately we have lost touch except for the annual Christmas so I cannot answer this . But it is an interesting question

We get shit for dating and she gets derided by co-workers for liking white boys.

I've never been in a relationship with a white guy. My ex who is black believed gays were intrinsically racist and young white ass was valued above all. There is some truth to that. But he really had a chip on his shoulder about it. I'm currently with a South Asian guy. The more exotic, the more interesting. However, what about cultural differences? They can rear their head in any relationship, if the participants are not brought up in the same\similar region. The closer to the equator, the hotter they come. I do believe this. That's why Ingmar Bergman films are so damn cold. Greeks are so damn sexy. Melina Mercouri was on fire. "Never On Sunday", indeed.

Back in the 80's I do remember a black girl in my school getting a lot of shit from bigots for dating a white guy from a different school, and my cousin started dating a black woman, and his parents really gave him a hard time about it. The latter pair married and are still together, and thankfully his parents realized they were wrong. Since then I have known several interracial couples and although they have spoken of challenges, mainly with their kids and idiots at schools, but it seems to be much more accepted with much fewer people voicing any opposition to it.

Between blacks and whites it's not an issue. I mean yes, we would argue about some issues where he was hyper sensitive about race and paranoid about white racism. But it's impossible as a white man to walk in a back man's shoes. My current guy has lived in the U.S. since he was a child so culture it's not much of an issue. Black boys are delicious!

Is it a different dynamic\sphere, if same sex couples are interracial, as opposed to opposite sex? Of course. Gay male relationships are usually about sex in the beginning. Straight relationships begin with the possibility that families will be involved. There's no taboo among gays about interracial sex. We fall in and out of bed with whoever we like. Straights have to consider having mixed race kids and whether or not there is racial prejudice in the family and even society. That probably varies depending on the locale & culture. Also, I suspect that just as important, if not more so, as being concerned about children is the fact that anyone who is willing to be in a same-sex relationship is likely to already have been willing to question and defy social rules based on prejudice--so it's not such a stretch for him or her to reject prejudices based on race.

I have dated outside of my race 3 times in my life (once with an asian two times w a black guy) and at no point did i ever get harrased about it even questioned about it or gotten weird looks.
i wonder if its the people you/your gf hang out with? or are you “super white” in your style and behavior also and is she “super black” in hers so it stands out more?
my experince is that it really didnt matter to Anyone to the point of letting it show.
is your gf quite young?
obvi fuck what the idiots say, do whatever makes u two happy. maybe remove yourself from those social groups though if possible

I am adamantly opposed to interracial romantic or sexual relationships!
I feel very strongly that no one should ever have a romantic or a sexual relationship with any being who is not part of the human race.
I might make an exception for hot aliens like T'Pol or Jadzia Dax, though.
