As long as he was upstanding, hardworking, and treated her well I wouldn't care what color he was. I would definitely have concerns with some other cultures as has been mentioned. I would say the same for my son BTW.
ETA: we have friends, neighbors and coworkers who are either in interracial marriages or products of one so I don't think it would phase anyone at this point (except perhaps my 95 y.o. grandmother)....I don't think many of the current generation gives it a second thought. At least not that I'm aware of.
I would not have a problem with interracial dating/marriage. I would be more concerned about differences in religious beliefs and in some cases, culture.
Nope. My daughter is bi-racial, why would I care if she brought home someone who is black? I gave birth to her. It would make me just a little bit hypocritical.
I have been doing research and it appears most parents would not be satisfied. Even though I know most of you say "I am not racist and I would not care at all" and "if they want to do it, it is OK" but seriously? However we are human and we really do not know how we will respond if that situation actually happens to them throughout there lifetime.
All honesty right now, if you had a daughter who is 16, and your 16 year old daughter brings a black man, who is the same complexion as Wesley Snipes, how would you really react as a parent? Instead of giving the politically correct answer, just think about how you would react at that moment.
In some cultures, they would literally disown their daughters them from the spot if a situation like that happens.
I have an actual 15 year old son and I am white. I would not have a problem if he dated a black girl, no matter what her complexion. What exacty would the problem be?
2 of my best friends, so close I consider them my family and vice versa, married one another. One is black, the other is white. I remember vividly when they started dating in high school how my male friends grandparents were so upset with him dating a black girl they refused to speak to him until he broke up with her. That obviously did not happen, but it took years before the grandparents finally acknowledged her and came to respect her for who she is and look beyond their own prejudices. As teenagers, we had a very hard time comprehending this attitude, and to be honest, I still do.
I can honestly say with no doubt in my mind, if any of my children had an interracial relationship, I would have no issues at all. It's not even something that would pop in my mind to be considered an issue.
The character of the person my children would have brought home would be more important than the color of that persons skin. Both my children are married, but I faced this question when I learned that there were interracial couples at the school my children attended. I am like Loves Mountains. Religion would be a much more important consideration. I would prefer that my grandchildren be brought up in a Christian home. It would really trouble me if they did not attend church.
Black, no, as true love sees no skin color. My problem would be if they were Muslim or atheist - just because when your religion clashes you are in for real trouble in a relationship. And I would not want to see a child of mine in that kind of struggle.
Exactly. I went out with a guy from Egypt a few weeks ago, and he is a very nice man, very smart, and absolutely fascinating. However, we talked enough for me to know that the cultural gap was far too wide for me to even WANT to jump, at this age. No thanks!!
WOW......I'm impressed. Such open minded people........REPS for all of you!
