... would you have an issue if your son or daugher were dating/marrying outside of their race?

How would you feel if they were getting interracially married and/or had biracial kids?

Non-issue for me and would be for my family and my friends.

Well, I already did that - married outside my race. Our children are bi-racial/multi-ethnic. So, it's already a non-issue for us.

I spend a lot of time with my little ones teaching and sharing the importance of acceptance and treating people respectfully no matter what their race, religion, or skin color is. I would be a hippocrate if I didn't treat that situation the same.

I would have no problem with either of my children marrying a person of any race.

If the relationship is built on love, commitment and respect, and my son or daughter is happy, I would not have an issue with it whatsoever.

No issues here. Everyone she dates is going to adhere to the curfews, etc that are laid down. If they respect that, then there will be no problems.
