I haven't been involved in one myself, but my sister is dating/engaged to a first generation Chinese man, both of whom are some of my best friends. We've had dinners and holidays together with his family, and they are delightful. His mom can't say her name, so she uses a very cute pet name for her. My sister is tall with red hair and freckled skin, and her guy is about 6'3. They are going to have some freakishly gorgeous kids.

I was raised pretty color blind, even living in the south, and with two parents in technology, Asian never really struck me as all that different from white. Also, it wasn't until my 20's before I realized that some people distinguish white and Jewish as two different "races". Antisemitism has NEVER made sense to me.

The man I lost my virginity too was a black man.

Our relationship went well. The only protesters we ever had were my family (I got disowned for dating him). Eventually, I found out that he was seeing another woman too. He said we never agreed to being exclusive. When I gave him the choice to leave her or lose me, he lost me.

Break up sex was AMAZING though! We are still good friends. In fact, I am his daughters God mother now =) AND, I am planning his wedding lol

My partner and I are from two different continents and we are ethnically different, but I've never thought of us as being in an interracial relationship. I don't often realize we look different than any other couple. Most people are amused to know that this foreigner is so much taller than I am and blonde, so thankfully we haven't run into many issues. There's really no reason to make such a big fuss over what people look like or where they come from.

When i was fourteen, I dated a young man who was half African-American. It was all well and good, though I felt the need to ask my dad's permission to date him, because 1) I was young and 2) he was black and I didn't know my dad wasn't racist with all the shit he says XD This probably has nothing to do with the young man's race, but he tried to rape me.

I am married to a Nigerian man (black, obviously.) My parents have never been that supportive of the relationship but for reasons other than his race...which, in retrospect, I can now understand, but that's another story. :-/ As for interracial relationships per se, I'm all for them. My first boyfriend was Korean (born here though.) You could say I've been all around the world.

I wouldn't consider my relationship interracial, because we're all the same race (Human) but I'm half-Native American and he's half-Asian, it kills me when we encounter people who treat us badly because we're not a matched set... The thing about it, though, is that they almost always get it backwards when trying to identify our culture... So there's really not much to be said for them.

I'm white and a mixture of many nationalities within there... being realistic we are all of many different nationalities, it's just that we have different skin tones to show for it...

That being said, I have dated 2 white guys and 1 Puerto Rican. I have always been more attracted to dark guys...

My theory is that if God wanted us to stay with our own race/nationality then he would have made us to have different shaped genitals. You can't fit a square penis into a triangle vagina...

I will get off my soapbox before I get going

I've dated 1 black guy and several latinos... All of which were pretty crappy relationships, not because of the interracial aspect, but because they were just jerks to begin with.
My mom was really sad when the black guy and I broke up, because she wanted us to make beautiful little caramel colored babies! lol

I'm a caucasian female and have been in several interracial relationships (two long term, on with a black man and one with a latina woman). They were both as pleasant and successful as any of my other relationships. I won't say that race doesn't make a difference;it may have no affect on your personal feelings for a person, but it will affect the perception of others and the community you surround yourselves with is very important. For me it comes down to my feelings for the person, regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, nationality, etc. The world doesn't always see it the same way.

I am caucasion and so is my husband. But prior to meeting him, most of my boyfriends, dates, and attention were with black men. It was more of a sexual attraction, natural curiosity sort of thing, and to be honest I was enthralled with the whole idea of having a mixed baby of my own, but I never really saw any negative in that. We would receive a lot of stares and people whispering as we walked by, but it wouldn't really bother me. The thing that would however, would be some of my relatives (whom I had so much respect for) telling me things that I never thought I would hear from them. They definitely were stubborn about it and very backward mentally about the whole interracial dating idea. Also, black women were not very kind towards the whole idea. I remember one time, while shopping at the local grocery store, two seperate occassions I was attacked, grab by the hand and yelled something about taking one of their men and not being proper "slut". Even through all that, I'd have two boyfriends prior to being married, and went out with several other men, I would say that interracial dating should be acceptable like any other kind of love. Love should be with the person and character not the color of someone.

I have never been in an interacial relationship but not for any prejudice, my dating history just hasn't gone that way.

I'm in an interracial relationship and I love the shit out of it.

Unlike a lot of people here who say "I don't see skin color," (yes, I know they mean it figuratively. I know they have sight), I'm going to say I DO see skin color. This is what skin color says to me:

Hmmmm....that person has dark skin. That means that their ancestors lived at a latitude with a high level of ultraviolet ray exposure, so their skin adapted in a way so that it would be dark enough to protect the body's stores of folate, whilst being light enough to utilize the sun's rays in the production of vitamin D.

Hmmmm....that person is fair-skinned. Their ancestors must have lived at a high latitude with less direct UV exposure. Their skin is designed to be very adept at producing Vitamin D, but does a poor job at protecting the body's folate stores (and protecting from sunburn).

I recently found out that my grandmother is definitely not okay with the idea of "interracial" relationships (I kinda hate the term "race")....It was all I could do to not go on a rant about how much better off my hypothetical kids would be (genetically, living in Mississippi) if they were fathered by a darkly-complected man. My white-ass Scandinavian heritage keeps me inside or caked in sunblock most of the time.

Oh, to answer your question, I have not been in such a relationship. The opportunity never presented itself.

I've never been in an interracial relationship.

I have not been in an interracial relationship, but I have considered it. I have a close guy friend who frequently expressed interest in dating me (except when we could go out, he always backed out), and I was completely up for being in that relationship. It just never panned out.

Just once. I'm white and she was latina. We didn't really catch much flack because we lived in a really liberal city.

I was in one for half a year. Other than getting odd looks in small rural towns, it worked out.

All the relationships I've been in have been interracial. I'm also currently in one. He's white and I'm asian. We've been at it for over 2 years and it's been mostly great. Both of our families seem okay with it and we haven't got any comments from anyone else.

Depends on the person, not the color of the skin

ive been in one before no big deal

I had a rebound relationship with a friend for about two weeks, he is Mexican. the interracial thing didn't really cross my mind.

I don't have a problem with it, and would do it in the future.

While I've never been in an interracial relationship myself, I honestly don't see anything wrong with it. If someone "feels right" to you, go for it and be happy.

The whole argument of one race being inferior to another because of stereotypes is totally invalid: trash comes in every color.

To make long story short: My first bf was Mexican with a dash of Caucasian. He was a lying, cheating bastard. I don't blame his race for that; he just so happened to be garbage. I would definitely date outside of my race again since race is insignificant.
