Couples like you and your girlfriend aren't that rare in Mexico. In fact the word mestizo, means exactly that; the children of a biracial couple.

Me and my dad had a conversation yesterday and we both agreed that we have more in common with black americans than hispanics.

I think in general the blacks stick with American culture whereas hispanics stick with their culture so thats probably why you don't see this..

Nevertheless, there's countless examples here of men with a light brown complexion dating a white woman.
Yes it would be.

You can't put latinos, arabs and punjabis in the same category, they all have different personalities and attitudes towards women.
Well then you can't put black and white into one.

LOL OP, you are not anything special. I know all of our moms told us we're all special little snowflakes, but your dating life is not. Seriously.

1. I did not put Wilmer Valderrama in the same category as Raul Esparza and Fernando Torres you morons. I said Fernando Torres and Raul Esparza were White latinos and for them to date white women would not be uncommon at all but it is no different than a white anglo guy dating a white woman to the PUBLIC. On the other hand I did say that I do not see many latinos that look like Wilmer Valderrama or Adam Rodriguez aka Brown Latinos with white women.

2. Indians, Arabs, and brown Latinos might have completely different attitudes and might even look different in terms of facial features but the thing they have in common is that most of them are not black or white or asian, all of them are to some extent identified as "brown". That and some of them can pass for each other's races, I have met arabs that can pass for brown latinos and brown latinos that can pass for indians.
I can't tell the difference.

Well, I have faced a lot of issues here in Northern Florida for being with a girl that is white and it doesn't help that she is good looking either. I would like to move to an area where my girlfriend and I can enjoy a peaceful life without being bothered for being an interracial couple but that seems impossible. Yet when black guys around here date white girls, they don't get any flak or criticism for it from society. It's like I am facing issues for being in an interracial relationship that is rare.
If this is your reality and your personal experiences and you feel that strongly about it then perhaps you should move. Maybe metro areas somewhere like Dallas/FW, Houston, San Antonio, Atlanta, L.A, NY, D.C. Chicago, Lansing, or Minneapolis. That's all I 'got for you'. Good luck!

I see nothing like you are explaining in your post in my daily life. I and many friends would be the mix you explain. I have never heard anyone say anything to me about the "issues" you are laying out. I have lived in three states from extremely urban to the epitomy of suburban...no issue, ever.

why yes, mestizos are a mix of white and native, what a genius observation

meaning that white spaniards slept with the native women to produce mestizos.

I am talking about it almost the other way around, a brown latino or any kind of guy with brown skin, black hair, and brown eyes (and isn't black) with a white woman, you don't see that very often at all.

A Finnish girl goes to Greece for a holiday.

Mother: How was the trip, what did you get out of it?
Girl: Quite a lot.
Mother: Care to elaborate?
Girl: Syphilis and I'm with a child.
