I agree with a few others who have mentioned the DC area. As much as I dislike this area, I do have to say that it's like the United Nations out here. You see people from every imaginable national origin and ethnicity, and people don't bat an eye to see couples of mixed racial/ethnic backgrounds around here. It just comes with the territory.

At least that seems to be the case in Northern Virginia ...

The fact is that while race mixing might be legal it's not socially acceptable anywhere. As recently as 2000 miscegenation was banned in some areas in the United States of America.

Every race has their right to protect their race from destruction whether it is by murder or genocide by race mixing. That is more important than the right of race mixers who contribute to the destruction of every race involved.

If you do the right thing and just date, marry and breed with your own kind you won't have to deal with these interracial issues.

The results from these unions are mixed people. They end up messed up and confused about who they are. Never to be accepted by any race.

Race mixers are selfish to subject their children to that.
Why do you think mixed-daters are selfish?

You're wrong. I'm 1/2 German, 1/4 French, 1/4 Native American and I'm not confused at all who I am. I'm German, French, and Yaqui Indian. I've never been shunned by any of my peers because I wasn't of any specific race, and if I were to be, it'd be a good thing. I wouldn't want to waste my time with people who hold such archaic and stupid beliefs, anyway. This is America; the melting pot of the world.

Most of these liberal hypocrites on this forum are lying. They continue to preach diversity and multiculturalism but segregate themselves to the whitest areas and make sure to let their daughters know they don't approve of her bringing home a black man. Then they turn around and call us realists racists for pointing out the truth. HYPOCRITES.

well KKK, I'm pretty sure there are very few races that are 100% pure anymore. If all life started in one place and evolved it was never 100% pure to began with. I think that all the race mixing in the world will lead to better things for everyone on the planet so we won't get caught up in the whole this person color is this or that. Also you don't control who you fall in love with. In this so called land of the free you should be able to be with whom ever you choose without having to worry about being a target. Isn't that why the pilgras came here anyway. They wanted to be able to live there lives as they choose. I feel that if you aren't going to be accepting of all people then you are the ones that need to leave. If most of you claim to be so american; not amerikkkan, its time to live up to it.

Atlanta? it has good jobs and public transit and the housing market is not too bad from what I hear.

I moved to Reston, VA with my boyfriend. I'm black, and he was half Korean and half white. Anyway, we never had any problems or felt uncomfortable. I fell out of love with him, but I still love Reston.

Default Question

Hello everyone, I am a white male, and my girlfriend is black. We live together in Houston, and while there is not a serious problem with racism, and related crimes, I have yet to go out in public without recieving stares. I know that it is the price that has to be paid for enlightenment but I would like to avoid it if possible. We would both like to leave Houston, but neither of us know a good city to go to. Does anybody have A good suggestion for a lower middle class interracial couple.

Hi,

I haven't read all of the posts, but figured I'd lend you my experience. I'm one half of an interracial couple and we have lived in Seattle, Portland, and San Jose. We have not had any issues in these places. We're now living in between San Francisco and Sacramento and so far, so good. California's pricey, though - you really have to pay for the nice weather.

Generally, the people in the west are pretty accepting of others. I've, personally, found that to be true of religion, too. I'm not very religious, but have close friends who are Buddhist, Jewish, conservative Jewish, and, of course, Christians of all kinds. We've all gotten along just fine.

Good luck!

I have lived in Houston for many years, I remember a few years ago, Houston had an elected official (city councilman). He was white and his wife was Jamaican black. He got elected and re-elected until term limits finally got him out office. I don't ever recall any uproar because of his black wife. In your case, it may be that you are overly sensitive IMO. You claim to be lower class white, I've noticed that in lower class neighborhoods. People like to stare at everyone.
