Interracial relationships

It's an off-shoot from the talk about multiculturalism but, I feel I need to get this off my chest. What's everyone views on interracial relationships? Well for me, I can't say much but it has become more rampant in recent years, especially through TV advertising in which some depict a white woman paired up with a black man in a romantic situation. Now, there should not be anything wrong with it no matter what the conservatives/right-wingers say but, it's a much heated discussion if they have children.

I'll share one story that I know if this from memory... one time, the daughter of my next door neighbour had a boyfriend who was black and that caused quite a stir within her family. Now, if I was in a romantic situation with an Asian girl (and I will confess, I do have a soft spot for them), I would think that my mother would be the same and could find myself disowned for it. I mean, we're both human after all. What would make her any different to me, other than her ethnicity?

Discuss, and hopefully we can keep it light here too.

I'd go as far as saying that I would recommend getting together with a girl from a different race or very far location. As far as I am informed, the kids will often actually be healthier, due to there being a surprisingly or decently degree of inbreeding in humans in many locations, with it varying how bad from place to place. The Faroe Islands should be the worst as I've heard.

So on that part, no, it would only be healthy.

Secondly, I generally assume that people who have a dislike for their kids getting together with a different "race" are a bit old time. Would you believe I was wrong if I suspected that they just have an outdated mentality on the situation?

So to sum it up, no, it is not wrong and even if I tried, I couldn't find a reason for why it should be wrong. I myself have a bit of a soft spot for southern/eastern girls depending on their location.
The only con in a safe environment I can think of is if the culture and mentality is greatly different between the 2, but that can happen in the same race as well.

If I'm reading this right, mixed raced children have a higher chance of being more "healthier" than others?

Yes. Basically for the same reasons as why incest is wrong:

On topic, most people who oppose interracial relationships fear that the white race or any other race is going to go extinct. Apart from the fact that this is not the way extinction works, I am not one of those people who think racial purity has intrinsic value, so I generally support interracial relationships.

As someone who is mixed raced, the only people who genuinely care about this topic are racists on twitter and genuine fascists.

Yeah, particularly those for who are into this "white genocide" stuff.

All people are mixed race. Trace back and we are all related. DNA says so. Racism is the dividing factor and the right wing ignorant mouth breathers perpetuate the hate.
We are all related to the simians that first stood upright on the savanna in AFRICA and evolved to human beings.

Race may be a social construct, but I don’t see anything wrong with it. We need to accept and respect each other’s differences rather than tell people that “all humans look the same.”

Bry's discussion of this, no offense, seems a bit ignorant and outdated. I mean, I see this all over the place in Tennessee USA, and this even a place noted for racism!

Anyway, as said before, it isn't a big deal and I hate that mixed raced kids would get bullied over it, but I think that situation is way less than in the past - especially if they avoid redneck-ass areas.

Well Jasonn is the one who said that men are naturally perverted, which seems a bit ignorant and outdated if I do say so myself.

As someone who has reproduced and is in an interracial relationship I have to say anyone who looks or thinks twice about it must be pretty ignorant - race isn't a factor in compatibility.

I feel bad for you Bry, bro. You have a preference you feel you can't pursue. :(

As I explored in the topic about preferences when dating, I also have a preference. But mine is definitely for black or latin women (and I married into one of those two categories.)

Yes Bry, does your family exhibit any prejudice towards certain ethnic groups?

My mother does actually, especially when she actually shudders when seeing a young Asian man and thinks that all Chinese folk are dumb as portrayed in "Nothing To Declare". The same for African Americans on Judge Judy also so, she's far more prejudiced than me.

Yes, I'd seen that. Making a hypocrite of himself? :D

I don't even believe there are distinguishable races of humans when it comes to skin color. I do believe in races by hair color, though. Okay, so what's my opinion? I say interracial marriage is absolutely okay, and I don't see how anybody could think it's wrong. I do tend to like brunettes, but that's irrelevant to my opinion on this.
