I would not have a problem with it. I figure with 11 kids I will have grandchildren in many different hues- like a flower garden!
My paternal grandmother had 9 children from 2 marriages. Her first husband was white and her second husband was black. My grandmother was Asian so you can just imagine what my aunts and uncles look like. Then with them marrying people from all different backgrounds, our family reunion photo looks like a We Are the World album cover
As long as my child doesn't marry someone with a bad family background, or less educated than they are, then the color doesn't matter to me. For example, I would prefer my children marry someone who's parents haven't been divorced, and don't have any chronic illnesses. Not that they'll listen, probably.
i would not.but that is just me.but most of this interracial relationships are happening for wrong reasons.black guys were raised by black women who would tell them that white man is a "devil" and only way to get rid of the devil is to go after white women and that makes them rasist.only reason they date white women is because they belive they are devils who could give a birth to "white devil" and they want to stop that.white women that go with black guys are the ones who are angry or have been molested by their fathers.so they try to find a way tp hurt they fathers the way fathers hurt them.they tried by not listening or runnig away but it didn't work.then they say that dating black guys makes their fathers angry and hurt many white women do this and that what makes a interracial relationship wrong.white man who date black women especialy is the same.they were probably rejected by white women who choose black guys ovewr them so they disided to hurt them y dating black girls.so most of interracial relasionships were founded in hate and not in love.
However, unlike most of you, I didn't find the question absurd, because let's face it: RACISM STILL EXISTS. I personally know many people who would have a problem with their children dating outside their race, but guess what??? These people will never post such a response on this message board. They will say it openly amongst mind-like people though.
I don't think I would care. I know several people who are in an interracial relationship and I never found anything wrong with it.
As long as there is love and honesty... I'd rather see my child happy with someone from another "race" rather than miserable with someone from the same "race"...

Slight tangent. How exactly does the bolded part relate to the personality of your child's potential significant other?
a. There are children with divorced parents who turn out fine and those from a two parent household that are a mess.
b. Are you saying you don't want your child to date a diabetic? That is a chronic illness.
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 would be okay, just concerned if they were to have children for what the children would have to endure from people who are not as accepting as I. I would also worry for my daughter and the person with whom she fell in love with - again because of how cruel people can be.
