I’m white and my girlfriend is Indian. We’re great together. I don’t see a problem either.

Sometimes the only problems are what others make of it, and then…….it’s their problem. Godspeed, Shakey.

I have no problem with it…
I’m in an interracial relationship.
I don’t see what would be “wrong” with it.

True - thats one of the few inter race relationships that one side can completely shut out the other - it’s not much spoken of - but I saw it on Law & Order and the kid isnt accepted anywhere - did you see that episode?

Well - that is not really about the relationship per se - it’s a culture clash - and apparently a massive one. It is totally normal here in UK so cant advise you - but he’s dead now so - I suppose you were just asking out of curiosity. Do you keep intouch with the child - it’s still family?

The entire “oh the world should be accepting” blah blah blah. I’m sorry if I’m sounding like a pessimist. But I think races and certain people involved in them are very racist.

I see black men, some (no, I am no racest toward black people, just the ones who do THIS) go “look, I’m dating a white chick, she’s so naive, I’m going to **** her over.”

Yes. I’ve seen it. In those words.

Yep and there are plenty of little blond chicks who’s biggest ambition is to be a baby-momma - coz they saw it on Jerry or whoever. 2 way street I’m afraid. the girls in the UK use those babies to get houses - the guys have 5 mommas for their kids so 5 diffenrent houses - oh yes it happens but it’s not all the guys fault

The term race refers to the concept of dividing people into populations or groups on the basis of various sets of characteristics.[1] The most widely used human racial categories are based on visible traits (especially skin color, cranial or facial features and hair texture), and self-identification.[1][2]

I don’t like dating at all. Most of the time I sit there wondering what am I doing here.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. Some of my closest friends are the opposite race of me. My dad, he has had bad experiences and dissapproves of it. But he is the only one I know besides my half-sister’s mom’s family that is like that.

I see no problem with it, it’s society that’s a problem… and unfortunately society can make things stressful and difficult for an interracial couple in some cases. The couple still has to be very strong to overcome the obstacle of “society”. Hopefully that is changing, but not fast enough.

If you have something against interracial couples you are a racist.
