You don't have to worry about getting beaten up, but you'll be forced to wait extra long when you go to see your doctor.

That's because most white men don't care and are OK with it.

Why aren't many black and Hispanic men ok with seeing white guys with attractive black or Hispanic women?

That is pure nonsense and you obviously know little about the racial climate of those neighborhoods. Yes, one can be subjected to a beating in those areas but not likely due to something as mundane as an interracial relationship. People in those neighborhoods have more serious issues to worry about.

I used to live in Roseland and occasionally saw white men on weekends seeking the services of black crackhead prostitutes. Why not just post what you know?

I am Asian women,I found if there is guy of other race interested in me, they are usually awkward people. So I chose an Asian guy anyway.

I am a white woman with a dark-skinned, Latino husband and I have never once, not ever, had anyone anywhere in the US or abroad make a comment or give us a dirty look.

Whoever won't admit any female is good looking because of their race is stupid.

Women are women.
mmm women.

Seriously. I have friends who lived in Bridgeport _for years_ and were in interracial relationships. The Asian dude had a white girlfriend, as did his brother who would visit often. The white friend had a Mexican girlfriend. None had any bad stories to tell.

I've also visited Marquette Park with interracial couples, again without problem.

In my experience, there seems to be a correlation between the make up of interracial couples and social status. Most white women and African American or Hispanic men couples I’ve seen have been in lower income brackets, whereas the opposite seems to be more the norm in the higher income groups; i.e. white men and African American, Hispanic or Asian women. So how you respond to this is going to depend on what rung of the demographic ladder you are standing on I'd guess.

I admit I don’t pay too much attention to it because BRU67 still believes in love, not statistics, when it comes to things like this Nevertheless, that pattern is unmistakable, at least from what I’ve seen in life.

Races aside, everyone has individual rights to what they want in life. No problems with inter-racial in the city nor surrounding burbs.
