It's always white women running back to the white man, .

Hilarious! Yeah, I'd have hard time dealing with a large, loud, and interfering family as I'm not used to it, but his family was as Sifu says "death warmed over"!

"Moonstruck" was fun, too.

Its a common thing for me to see.

I'm white, my husband was black - were married over 15 years. And no, color was never an issue, and it didn't break us up. All of our friends, relatives and coworkers got over the initial "surprise" very quickly, all through the years. We were lucky enough never to experience any bigoted or hurtful comments - at least not to our faces.

Our kids liked to refer to themselves as "cinnamon-colored". Actually, they were the best of the world - they dated any and all colors, and didn't limit themselves to those of their own skin color - basically because there weren't that many who qualified as cinnamon!

We also let them share equal time with both sets of grandparents, to experience both cultures.

Not really.
Once as a student I had a one-night stand with an Asian student, very pretty, but she had already a fiancé (Asian too) so I was left out in the cold.
Personally, I'm into Caucasian women, I don't understand why nowadays it's becoming so difficult to date someone of his own race&skin when it should be the most natural thing in the world, it's all "helter-skelter"...

I'm black, current girlfriend is korean. Her parents had somewhat of an initial "mouth agape" response to us at first, but I've taken them out to dinner several times, sat around the house with them, an attended korean-centric activities with them and the fam, so now I think I'm pretty much in like flint, so to speak.

I'm a white woman and have been in interracial relationships for more than 15 years. I wouldn't say I only date black men, it's just what I prefer and am attracted to. My boyfriend of 8 months has never dated interracially so it's been a real challenge for him. Since I'm used to it, I don't even notice the "looks" he says we get. I told him that I like to think that they're not looking at us because we're an interracial couple, they're looking at us cause we're a hot couple!

How did you feel seeing your blond hair/blue eyed child? I ask this because I am engaged to a white man (I'm African American) and we both want children and if blessed will definitely have them. Don't get me wrong, I love this man and can't see myself spending my life with anyone else but the thought of having "white" children does bother me. I don't know if you know who Garcelle Beauvais is but she's a black woman who's married to a white man and had twin boys and if she wasn't holding them, you'd never know they had any black in them. That bothers me, plus I maybe a little selfish but I'd like my child to look at least something like me. So my question to you is, how does it feel to have a child who looks very little like you. Please note, I know that you love your children regardless of what they look like, but I just wanted to ask the question.

Awww, they're adorable. I'm sure she's just thrilled to have happy, healthy children regardless of whether or not they "look" black.

Yes, and children usually have features from both parents. Skin tone is just one such feature. Maybe your child will have your eyes and daddy's nose!
