Before my H got out of the service, my kids thought mixed families were the "norm"...they didn't have the assumtion that parents and children should "match"... I liked it that way!
I meant as friends...I would think that would be interesting too. I just get the feeling it should be interesting and exciting for you to know people of other races, not just girls for you to date, because it doesn't sound like you do. I don't think it's a bad thing to date out of your race or be with someone out of your race at ALL. But I've always taken exception to people who only want a white girl or only want a black guy (when they are not of the same race) or vice versa. There are often stereotypes that go along with that kind of thinking.

Oh yea, I can have guys from other races as friends. I met a few at this college I'm going to?
People who are in mixed relationships get very angry when someone has a different opinion. This blending of races, cultures means a loss of culture, traditions and identity. And I've been called supremicist for saying this but there is also the loss of genetic traits such as pale skin and light eyes. But, biologically speaking, diversity in the human population is provided by mutations - pale colors. I can say that people in mixed relationships are supremacists too - they desire the traits of a different race. They are trying to recreate those desired traits in their offspring.

That is the silliest bunch of BS I have ever read on here!

I'm not sure I've ever met anyone who's told me they're trying to "create" a certain type of offspring....must be a fairly select group, it seems to me.
Besides that, ALL relationships are mixed, to some degree. Unless one is product of incest, we're ALL from mixed backgrounds (and even THEN, it's only one generation LESS 'mixed'). Relatively few people who I know (who've chosen to mention it) have all 4 grandparents of any "pure" ethnicity.
In some parts of the nation, there seems to be an objection to couples of differing races. In certain neighborhoods of San Francisco and Key West, there's objections to couples of differing genders. But ALL couples are "mixed", in one way or another......
In my own marriage, we've had our share of disagreements and squabbles, but very few "race riots". We DO have a form of "segregation" (for example, I have my own toothbrush)...But the offspring we "created" don't match any pre-existing prototypes, nor did we have any "target parameters" when we set out to "create" them...Our children just "are who they are"....
PS....None of this post refutes the fact that I'm NOT a big fan of multi-culturalism--I have MANY posts ranting against that. I think we have an "American" culture, and from it we get our freedoms, our ability to tolerate each other, and our sense of fair play and "equal protections" for all.....NONE of which, by the way, exist in many other cultures, and which I don't want to see US lose here, in some silly attempt to become "multicultural". Bring on the new foods, new music, new traditions....but don't throw away the freedoms and the rights for ALL members of our society (which so many cultures don't recognize).
I think culture is a "man-made" concept, and can be learned and adapted by ANYONE, of ANY race. That's how "we" all got it, when our ancestors came here and LEARNED it, and learned how to "get along" with very different "others". In my view, we have a multi-racial population that shares in a freedom-loving, tolerant, secular, law-abiding American culture....and I hope it stays that way...

For myself it was a white man. I was attracted to his nice colors, his height, and his intelligence. I wanted that for my kids. If I am considered a supremacist for that then I know alot of supremacists. I know ethnic Jewish couples, Paskitani couples, Indian couples and Vietnamese couples here in the states. I also know of young white women who want their babies to have a tan and only date brown guys. I also know of black women who want their kids to have smooth hair and date non black men. I know of white men who only desire Asian women. Lots of "prototypes" out there.

I have two kids and I will tell them to do whatever they want as long as they make an informed decision. That goes for you too!
