Of course I agree with interracial dating, as long as I'm the one doing it.

There was an article by a scientist on this in the New Scientist recently.
Many black males are either dead or in jail. Also the society more readily accepts black males marrying white women, but not vice versa. So black women eligible for marriage outnumber black men by a huge margin. Which means that many will never get married and have a stable family life, and they will be single parents.
I dug it out:
http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19926726.400-perspectives-still-a-question-of-black-vs-white.html
What needs to be done is the state to accept this situation (that many black women won't have a 'normal' family life) and move in to improve the lot of single black mothers. Fat chance of that happening with the Republican 'family values' morons running the country, blaming the women themselves for this situation. Of course they are blacks so who cares?
We'll see if Obama will change anything.

I see no problem with something that has been going on for God knows how long. I have dated a Japanese and Korean gal in the past. I find Mexican women attractive; Greek, Turkish and swiss also
My current girlfriend is: Norwegian, Swedish and German but that is really the same ethnic groups in my opinion. Here I am mostly; Greek, German and Irish- other - what a mutt
If it had not been for a native american ancestor I would not be here.

Probably I'm the only one against 'racial' dating here.
Firstly, there are not human races, the expression interracial may apply to animals.
I'm not only against dating between people of different types ('Caucasian', Asian, Black) but against marriage (I'm against extramarital relations idea too) between people from different ethnicities, because I think is an artificial relation. You and your spouse must be from the same people, else the cultural element will play a negative role in your relation.

Phrased in better words than Menu cultural elements do play a major part in successful relationships so primarily people do end up marrying people from similar cultures (which would be why this thread could have possibly existed in the first place). However people are very diverse and just because you were born into a particular culture it doesn't mean you aren't really attracted to other cultures. So there is a significant number of people who aren't the culture they would appear to be, or just love being in someone elses. In other words, people marry people who are similar to them. Sometimes this will follow another identifiable boundary like white men not marrying black women, or the upper classes marrying upper classes, but also quite often it does not because artificial boundaries usually don't describe actual people. ~ Just a question Menu, I don't have an ethnicity so who should I marry?

Doesn't that mean there should also be a lot of unmarried white men?

To have a deep relation, it has not to be something cultural. You marry to become one with the other, not to discover cultures. An even if you are attracted by the person, not by the culture, the cultural difference is a barrier in getting in the other's soul.
I admit that my idea is grounded on the belief that God has for everyone a pair soul and you have to wait to find it, not to hurry attracted by different ideas, including the 'inter-cultural' one. And perhaps some are destined to remain singles.
Don't take this as a fix rule but as a sugestion for a happier life. If someone is of mixed ethnic origin he/she should wait for the love of his/her life like everyone else and my idea can be useful for such a person too in not being confused with first impression ideas.

Somehow I though you would respond like that... Your opinion and your entitled to it (although I deem it a rather regressive and racist one), but I must disagree based on deductions from successful relations all around me.

What do you mean by "interracial"?
For Latinos, for instance, marrying a "gringo" is interracial, no matter the couple could look very similar. Marrying a Gypsy, a Jew or many other minorities could be considered "interracial" for some, but it is likely there isn't major physical differences in the couple.
In here, at least, marryiange between Europeans and Indigenous people are considered more an intercultural marryiage than interracial.

I love how "they believe," assuming that you know better than them what they think and believe.
Is there anything on this world that is not an illusion Menu, I mean pretty much everything you disagree with is an illusion so far as mentioned by yourself.
