<p>I'm doing a project on interracial dating. I am for it. I need opinions from people for it and (sadly) against it. I need educated and open opinions. No ignorant, racist opinions. Please reply in this format:</p>
<p>Your Race:</p>
<p>Yes or No:</p>
<p>Your Opinion Why:</p>
<p>Personal Experience:
( if you have been or are in a interracial relationship, if your parents are different races, you know someone in a interracial relationship etc.)</p>
<p>What does this have to do with college? Well my dad is a professor and he wants me to present this to his class. He teaches cultural studies and psychology. I am also presenting this to my ap psychology class at school.</p>
<p>Your Opinion Why: I myself have no bias against any races. I really don’t care, and often find myself interested in other cultures and people. My parents don’t mind who I date either, so I’m not constrained by any traditional sentiments. </p>
<p>Personal Experience:
I have dated a white girl, an Asian girl, and an Indian girl. I never had problems as far as race is concerned, and I treat every person with the same respect. My experiences (since I am a people-person) also led me to accept anyone and everyone (regardless of race, gender, religion, etc.). </p>
<p>India is in Asia. Unless of course you meant Native American. </p>
<p>Race: white
Yes or no: yes
opinion: I really don’t even see how this is debatable
personal experience: I have asian (Chinese) friends that have dated white guys, black friends that have dated white guys, and white friends that have dated black guys. I never really thought much of it. I mean people make jokes and stuff, but no one’s actually racist about any of it.</p>
<p>I know that “Indian” is “Asian”, but she liked to consider me different (and so I was under that impression as well) :3</p>
<p>Aha, that was a while ago, and I forgot to mention, there’s plenty of interracial dating at my school, probably the most common being Asian - white.</p>
<p>Race: Asian
Yes or no: Yes
Opinion: why not? there is nothing wrong… personality is more important.
Personal experience: Idk if it counts but I’m Chinese dating an Indian? Both Asian, but still different LOL.</p>
<p>RayonG: Hah, I was just giving you a hard time. I didn’t really think anyone on CC thought that. Yeah I know, I always think of Indians and Chinese as being totally different too. Even though they are both lumped into the Asian group.</p>
<p>Your Race: Latino
Yes or No: Yes
Your Opinion Why: Because I can’t think of a single reason why not.</p>
<p>You might want to look into how some people (mainly women of color) are perceived as exotic because of their race (mainly by straight, white men) and fetishized. Just a thought.</p>
<p>Race :White in a waspy town
Yes or no :Yes
Why: Because you can’t help who you like. And there are really attractive people (both physically and intellectually) in every race.
Personal experience: I have gone out to movies with Latin American or Hispanic guys, I know an Indian guy from the UK who is really attractive. There is a Chinese guy in my grade who I had a thing with last summer. And there is a black guy in my grade everyone likes.
I don’t think interracial dating is a big deal at all.</p>
<p>Race: Nigerian
Yes or no :Yes
Why: Because i think what matters is their personality not where they come from
Personal experience: I’ve dated a guy that was black, chinese and british. One that was half nigerian, a quarter italian and a quarter german. and my current bf is fully nigerian. either way i’ve always wanted my kids to be multiracial :)</p>
<p>Race: Asian and African American
Yes or no: yes
Why?: A person’s race doesn’t define them as a person. I don’t look for a bf based on their race
Personal exp.: umm I’m mixed aha and I’ve dated a Hispanic guy, black guys, and I am currently dating an amazing guy that happens to be white.</p>
<p>Your responses are really helping guys! I’m suprised I have no "no"s yet! Its sad how some people disagree with this topic and are so closed minded. Its 2012 and some people still seem to be stuck in the 20th century…keeping replying if you want. Thanks guys!</p>
<p>Race: Hispanic
Yes or no: Yes! (could you imagine not having people like drake, or alicia keys in the world )
Why? Well why not, A person’s skin color doesn’t define the person, a person’s beliefs and personality defines them.</p>
<p>Personal experience: My soon to be bf- is black, my best friend is cuban and is with a black kid, my italian friend went out with a black girl for a year.</p>
<p>Race: White
Yes or No: Yes
Why: Personality and compatibility are so much more important then race!
Experiences: My bf of 3+ years is Asian. The worst thing I’ve experienced so far was my 80 year old grandmother telling my mom that I shouldn’t be allowed to date “a Chinese” (he’s actually half Korean/half Chinese).</p>
<p>Opinion: I don’t think color should come into play when dating.</p>
<p>Personal Experience: Dad’s white, mother’s black (they both contribute Native). Most of the people I’ve fallen for have been white… maybe because 94% of my town is white :P. Consequently, there’s very little interracial dating at my school.</p>
<p>White
No
I just think it’s awkward. Their kids are going to have horrible lives, being called Oreos and such. Is there really no person your color you love? </p>
<p>By the way I’m actually not racist, crazy right?</p>
<p>^ I love it when people think they can judge whether they’re racist or not. No. That’s not how it works. If you’re racist, you’re racist, regardless of how you think of yourself. (Which is perhaps why I always side-eye people who being a sentence with “I’m not racist, but…”)</p>
