Race or colour is no issue at all, nor is nationality.
On a selfish note, I'd love to have more of a cultural mix in the family, so it would be great if my kids married someone with a different background to us. We used to live next door to an Indian family and got invited to their colourful family parties and even some ceremonies - fantastic. Unfortunately we were pretty dull by comparison!
Yeah I totally agree! Makes life more interesting!
... 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?
I haven't read the other post yet but...
If I had an issue w/ my daughters marrying/dating outside their race then that would make me a hypocrite and a bozo. My mother is a dark skinned Vietnamese woman, my father is white. My family consist of Palestinians, Mexicans, African Americans, very white skinned Caucasion (German, Irish, French decent) and Cubans... so I have biracial cousins, nieces, and nephews (and biracial children). It's hard for me to keep it straight.
My husband and I wouldn't care, but I know some family members would probably have something to say about it. If my children grow up to be anything like me, I'm sure they'll have no problem telling the "offended" family member where they can put their opinion.
I'm surprised anyone would ask this question. We are a black/white couple and our babies will be bi-racial. I don't care what race of person they end up with, obviously. Oh, and we're also gay men, together over 13 years.
I guess this question shouldn't be that shocking. My aunt was basically kicked out of the family for marrying a black man and no one knows where she or her husband/kids are anymore, and I've basically been kicked out of the family and have very little contact with any family member.
After the heartbreak/heart aches I have seen my daughters go thru with the males that are the same race all I care about is that they treat my girls and their children with love and kindness and respect and take care of them. I couldn't care less what color their skin is. It's what's inside that counts

It happened years ago I remember my Mum saying that my Nan would be shocked at me marrying a black man. Mum loved him to bits
