If you are interested, and they are interested, who the fuck cares.

The only people who have a problem with interracial dating are morons. I don't need to qualify that statement.
As the product of an interracial relationship, that's all that I need to understand.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it, provided that the two people involved genuinely love each other and are not just trying to make some sort of "social statement". Anybody who thinks otherwise has obviously never given much consideration to what's truly important in life, and deserves to be shot.
Yes, I'm serious.

Dating? Who cares?
Having children? That's a different story. I don't think it's necessarily fair to the child. My friend's brother is having a terrible time going through life; it's very sad. He's half black and half white, and completely denies the black part. He claims he is all white. He's also a racist, calls his mother some terrible things.

Oh, by saying it's not fair to the child, you're essentially saying there's something wrong with being of something other than European descent. That's what you're basically saying.
Sure, the odds are against a black/Hispanic/Asian/etc. person, but I wouldn't call that "unfair". That's life. I guess black people shouldn't procreate, after all, it's unfair that their children may have to face the realities of the words of ignorant idiots!

Spare you what? You made a completely ignorant statement that could be covered by what I stated.
I don't see how it's any less fair for minorities to procreate than it is for couples of a different race. Both will be discriminated against.

Your friend's brother doesn't like where his mom/dad is from, too bad. That isn't what I call unfair. That's what I call his individual problem. I'm very happy with who I am, and with who my parents are. I think if anything, being the child of people of two different cultures is a privilege. In some cases, you have exposure to two very different cultures, and it gives one a lot of perspective.
But that's just me. I mean, I guess it's unfair. If you're weak.

Oh, I think you'd be surprised. Sure, the younger generations barely register this as anything to consider, but the parents of those generations, and areas of the south...FoneBone said:
But I couldn't care less. Thankfully, my parents couldn't either, so I'll never have a problem. I've dated two Asian girls and an Indian, and the responses from their parents have run the spectrum. One girl was bi-racial (if the term must be used) and there was no problem. The Chinese's girl's parents seemed to just distance themselves from the whole thing; I have no idea what, if anything, they thought. The Indian girl's parents would have killed her if they had known about our relationship.
So, there are absolutely no issues with it in and of itself, but I think when interacting with older generations, which is relatively necessary, there can be problems. There are also other cultures that typically don't take as kindly to it. Sad but true.

The only way it hurts them is that a lot of people from two distinctly racially different parents have trouble identifying with a race. They have no distinct racial identity. Now, the logical thing would be to embrace your background equally. Unfortunately, this does not happen in a large percentage of cases. My friend being one of them. Which is exactly why I posted that.
Again, way to misundertand what I posted, and instead get embarassingly defensive over something I had completely no intention of behind my statement.

And that's your friend's problem. Being the product of an interracial relationship isn't unfortunate. If someone thinks he or she cannot belong to a certain culture or identity, that's his or her problem.
Your opinion is that it's unfair. My opinion is that your friend has a problem that many of us don't have. And when you say being of mixed backgrounds is unfair, I take offense. To me, that's like saying being born black in a white neighborhood is a bad thing; because, you know, blacks can't necessarily identify with white people.

No, I said that it's unfortunate that people act that way towards such matters.
Of course, many don't. I said that a lot do, however.
Not exactly. Your analogy is somewhat flawed considering that it is entirely possible to move out of that neighborhood.

Whatever. I think you're backpedaling and trying to make me feel stupid for no reason.
I think your logic is flawed and unfair. But that's just me. I'd say it's pretty hard for someone who's not of an interracial relationship to understand what it's like. You may find this hard to believe, but some of us embrace both sides of our heritage equally. If your friend doesn't, that's his problem. Thus, my analogy stands. He doesn't have to have a problem with his situation. He could change that at any moment.

I just pointed out why your analogy is wrong. You can move out of the neighborhood. You can't remove part of your racial background.
You may not have any problems with your ethnic diversity, and that's fine. More power to you, I think that's great. I personally know some people that do. That's too bad.
I'm not backpedaling; I'll break down my opinion for you again: I don't think it's exactly fair, because the child has no say in the matter. No choice. You know, in a perfect world, people would accept people of all races, and treat them equally. It's not a perfect world. You know it, and I know it. Again, I'll use my friend as an example. There are a lot of black people that look down upon him because he's half white. There are a lot of white people that look down upon him becase he's half black. I witnessed this first hand on several occasions. It's incredibly sad. He can't help how other people think. That environment of predjudice will likely not be removed for a very long time in this world.
I certainly don't have any control over how other people think. What they do is their choice. However, this is my opinion. Almost all of my friends are multi-racial. Obviously, they are good people and I like them. But I have witnessed in cetain situations where this has been a problem. The reason for my opinion on the matter is mostly influenced because I feel a great amount of sympathy towards these unwilling victims of racism and predjudice. It in no way reflects some sort of moralistic, religious, or racist desire of mine to prevent offspring of interracial couples.

Wait so it's fair if you are from two black parents and whites look down on you or you have two white parents and blacks look down on you, but because your interracial and both assholes of each group look down on you then it's unfair. Get the fuck out of here, moron. My Mom and Dad are both black, and they didn't get my permission before having me, is that unfair too. Your fucking line of thinking is stupid. What about people with Down Syndrome or other birth defects, I'm sure their parents didn't get their permission before they had them.
As far as your friend not liking his Mom. Eminem doesn't like his Mom either and his father is white should they not had him. Why is it that everyone else has to deal with the shit life throws at them, yet interacial kids are special in your mind and shouldn't be born because life will be hard on them. Dude just a fucking clue, LIFE IS HARD ON ALL OF US!!!!! For some it's because of skin color others it's being born into poverty, others it's a handicap. You learn to deal with it as best as you can and if you are in a possition too, you help those that are having a hard time. Personally I find it more than a little suspect that you seem to single out interacial kids as special in regards to not being concieved.

My issue when people sometimes act as if you've never dated a person of certain races, you're a racist.
Yeah, read that one again, because I swear to you this happened.
My one ex started telling me all this shit after we broke up, how terrible how she thought I was because I (at the time) had no black friends or had ever shown interest in black women.

When we are talking interracial are we saying white/black or anyone/anyone. I think people have different reactions when it is white/black vs. white or black/anyone else. But, that is an Americancentric view. That being said I don't care what two people do if they want to be with each other then so be it. Now then for me I pefer women of my own race but, that is a peferance moreso than a hard and fast line. I only socialize in areas where I mostly see people of my own race.

I think it's unfair for a pretty to have a child with an ugly, also, skinny and fatty = no-no, plus cancers and healthys. * The world is mean to ugly fat cancers.
*no I don't.

I personally don't care either way, but unfortunately, there are still a TON of people out there (and cultures) that just see it as taboo. We're all humans, baby
I wanted to bring this up, too, because hardly anybody seems to make a big fuss about an interracial couple of white/anything but black.Tommie Hu$tle said:
like Paul Mooney said: "White girls ain't that crazy. What's that saying go? Once you go black you never go back? And if you go back to white you come running back to black?"

I couldn't care less if someone felt everyone outside his/her race was ugly. To me, that's just preference. So long as you're not trying to get in the way of someone else's happiness, I couldn't care less.
And I guess I should say this, my situation is that I'm half Puerto Rican. I don't think Puerto Ricans are considered a different race than whites, but there is a difference as far as ethnicity is concerned or something. I definitely think something like a white and a black couple is more jarring, as the differences are so pronounced. But either way, I feel the same way about all people. They're all people. I don't care who their parents or their grandparents are.
