I came across this video quite accidently and thought i'd share it because it's an interesting watch (made by HBO).


YouTube - HBO - Interracia Dating Documentary - part 1.mp4

Other parts can be found on Youtube. There is a very disturbing white racist guy in the first clip, please tell me that people like this are in the extreme minority...geezus! I couldn't believe what I was hearing from this man...

I haven't watched the entire HBO series, But the man in this clip is pretty stereotypical. Its too bad that Racism is always portrayed as a product of only ; poor, southern, White, ignorant men. It gives minorities a false sense of security when they are not surrounded by the stereotypical racist. It also allows many other racist people to look in the mirror and not see a poor, White, southern, ignorant , man and believe that they are not a racist.

i've heard plenty of people from all races say that if a woman (it's almost always the woman) of their race dates outside that race, that she is practically a traitor. Ignorance knows no allegiance to any one color or creed.

Guys get grief from the ladies of their race as well if they date outside their race.



My only problem with this documentary is that it looks at it from a white/black perspective. While W/B relationships are the most common, they aren't the only type of interracial relationships that white and black people engage in.

I am Chinese, I am engaged to a white guy. Never received crap from anyone. Of course, I can always threaten people with my secret kung fu powers!

Black people are percieved as an inferior race. The stigma lies with dating anyone who is black that you are stepping down.
