<p>is there a lot of interracial dating at UT. i was just wondering just because, and it is a liberal school.</p>
<p>no one cares whom you go out with and there are couples in every combination you can think of</p>
<p>i hope there is. i’m from san antonio and interrracial is pretty much the norm.
however, when i went to louisiana for a year it was almost a sin to date interracially.
so i moved back to texas just because i can’t be around ignorance lol…</p>
<p>Well I’ve lived in Texas all my life, Dallas to be exact, and I’ve never noticed a lot of interracial dating. Never cared enough to look though. I don’t think anyone cares, but it is conspicuous, if that’s what you are asking</p>
<p>Dallas a’int Austin. Plenty of interracial couples at UT.</p>
<p>interesting. this isn’t something I do deliberately, but I just realized that I’ve never dated anybody the same race as me.</p>
<p>I guess its OK. There are no more miscegenation laws. Not many hardcore conservative racists at UT. </p>
<p>My stance on interracial relationships is similar to my stance on abortion. It should be legal, but rare.</p>
<p>@navyarf legal but rare lol why should it be rare for a white woman to date a black man or vice versa? would it shame you if your kid dated outside their race?(if you had any lol)</p>
<p>For one, the product of a relationship might have a harder time associating itself with one race. Ie, the child might be stuck in the middle and feel alienated. Not always, but still a possibility.</p>
<p>As for for the commonness of interracial dating… I don’t really pay any attention. It doesn’t seem like there is much of it for me to notice. At least around the engineering area where I roam.</p>
<p>^
LOL. That’s because there isn’t much dating going on in the engineering area.</p>
<p>@navyarf</p>
<p>I really hope your comment came out the wrong way. Are you actually saying interracial relationships should be rare?</p>
<p>If so, than I sure hope everyone at ut doesn’t think like you. That’s a really small minded statement. </p>
<p>People should try new things and go outside their comfort zones.</p>
<p>Well played navy… ;)</p>
<p>what the efff! i’m mixed and i’m not confused!
i’m simply black AND white
no confusion there.</p>
<p>dammn ignorance is STILL rampant.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>10 char…</p>
<p>Aw how nice of you to try and protect the poor confused children by saying how interracial dating should be rare.</p>
<p>^^^ :)</p>
<p>It seems to me as if virtually one at UT cares if your significant other is black or white, male or female, Democrat or Republican, prep, goth, or what - as long as they are Longhorns fans. (Just don’t date a Sooner or - God forbid! - an Aggie)</p>
<p>hopefully there is significantly small amount of people at UT like navyarf.</p>
<p>I agree ^ :)</p>
<p>btw. I’m birracial and I’m a lot LESS confused about life and who I am than a lot of other people who are 100% a certain race. </p>
<p>It’s actually made me a lot stronger and independent.</p>
<p>Good for you. Maybe it is because you are more mature and don’t have to go through the pain of being bullied/alienated in grade school. I also guess it is where you are from. Being birracial in Houston might not be the same as being birracial in Detroit.</p>
<p>I’ve lived in Los Angeles for most of my life, it wasn’t difficult there either. ampzor, I can kind of see the point you are trying to make about the difficulties of being bi or multi racial. I think the point a lot of us are trying to make is that it isn’t right to say that something should be rare just because of difficulties. </p>
<p>If that was the overwhelming mindset in America 50 years ago, then I wouldn’t even be able to apply to ut today. </p>
<p>Love and relationships are colorblind if it’s real.</p>
<p>From CA to TX to NY.</p>
