lmao!

i'm asian and i've had never dated any asian girls in my life. my gf is white herself. my parents don't care who i'm dating cause my parents were trying to revolutionize themselves to stay away from korean culture when they first moved to america.

gotta love my parents. 😀
 
Why, I'm mixed too. 1/4+ German, 1/4+ English, 1/8 or so Slavic (mixed Siberian and Yugoslav) 😉 ... and 1/4 Chinese by marriage.

I have neither child nor wife, but I wouldn't care if my kid brought home a person of different race. Now, if they were a dumbass, or a psycho, I'd make sure to make my objections known, but that would be the same for White Dumbass, Mexican Dumbass, Black Dumbass, Martian Dumbass, whatever.

if i ever have children they will be mixed so the odds of them ever dating someone of the same mix are slim to none. why anyone would have an issue with an interracial relationship is still beyond me. 😕

on a humurous note i just looked up the definition of 'melado' and found it quite entertaining:

"A mixture of sugar and molasses"

Well, did you mean to look up "mulatto"?

Hey! Klingons need love too. 😉

Anyone remember the episode where they showed Klingons having rough sex?
 
It won't be easy. I will point you to a research paper done on the economics of online dating. The author had data on every aspect of every profile. There is a question on : do you have racial preferences? The interesting result is that people who responded no had almost the exact pattern of clicks (profiles they're checking out) as people who said yes. And the pattern was a strong inclination towards within race profiles. So the lesson is that while people may say they have no racial preferences on paper, they act out very differently. The paper can be found on [L]home.uchicago.edu/~hortacsu/online_dating_feb2005.pdf[/L]

Yep. 🙂

I almost wish my g/f wasn't white; just so I could have seen the look on the faces of my (very racist) father's parents.
 
I met a nice black girl a while back... my mother put an end to that quickly. My lunatic b*tch mother has driven off every man she's ever met, one even to alcoholism and crime, and been through 2 failed marriages - great one to give advice eh?
 
I think the title should be altered to include "How would your parents feel if you dated someone of another race," considering it seems that many people who post here do not have children of dating age yet.
 
Its not race I think that would matter to my parents but religion.
Not that I care what they think anyway.
 
I would treat them just like a person of the same race, no better, no worse.

I will. I have stepdaughters and their mother and me made it quite clear to them when they were younger what was acceptable regarding this issue and what was not. ANY friend of theirs was always welcome in our home and were always treated like everyone else but not ALL of their friends were acceptable from our point of view as a boyfriend. This issue has many more dimensions than simply race so trying to reduce it to simply a "race" issue is ludicrous. The youngest is now 21 and both of them are married so this is no longer an issue.
 
Hypothethical situation, how would your parents react if you told them you want to marry a muslim girl, and you, your parents and your grandparents being catholic.
