How does everybody feel about interracial relationships??.... after my recent visit to an asian-american chat forum i've learned that some people get quite fired up and it's a very controversial issue...
or are you like me...and don't think it's an issue at all??

http://www.geocities.com/thelandofsnows/internettoronto0317.jpg this is from a trip i took this past summer to Toronto where I met my girlfriend for the first time... (we had been conversing over the internet for over a year before we met)....
we had a kick ass time...and now that she's back in Vancouver and i'm back in Ohio (we are presently attending college) we are looking forward to next summer where i will go to China with her so we i can meet my future parents... (we assume we will be married within the next 5 years)... (we can expect more photos posted here after that trip if anybody wants to see them) she's actually a citizen of China..so we have many kick ass conversations...we both like to weigh in on each others' country's political escapades....

all in all, i guess this thread was really just a reason for me to post a picture of me and my hot ass girlfriend...feel free to agree that she's hot ;-)

Anyone of any race who has a go at you about race, just tell them to slit their wrist and tell you if their blood is red, like yours.

umm i dont really care what race someone is as long as they're special to you

but i admit when i go to my girlfriend's family gatherings (christmas, etc) i feel sort of out of place cause theres one asian guy in the midst of all these caucasians....

but then she feels the same when she comes to my family gatherings :) and she cant understand what we're talking about too :):)

I get teased a bit with my asian friends about having a white girlfriend too but i know they're all just jealous...

Had a GF from South Africa originally, not full black though, infact the first time I met her I just thought she just had a kick arse tan. She always thought people were looking at us, I think it was all in her head, like alot of other things. She really had a problem with me being white, and as such the relationship only lasted a few months. She also hated full blacks with a passion.

She was a real mental case that one, glad I got out of it, before it was too late.

NON-ISSUE!!!

It reduces the incidence of inbred genetic shee-at, and also produces some pretty nice looking offspring. We're all homo sapiens.

Though both my parents are caucasian and their families from northern Europe, many may claim that they are of different race. It would make things difficult for me to find potential gf's if I limited myself to the same combination as me, if I wanted to. Mind you, one of my neighbours is the same combination, and she is HOT. :tits:

I personally wouldn't go down that path myself, but if you are happy and in love, good on you mate!

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
CHORUS
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love
Tainted love, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love

I am always confused by people bitching about couples of differing skin colours - why not make a big deal about people with blonde hair dating people with red hair, or blue eyes with brown eyes ?

FFS, talk about superficial differences...

Yeah, everybody looks different - that's the wonders of the way the human genome works, why the fuck can't people get over it ?

Oh, their nose is too big/too small, they are too tall/too short, etc - I forbid you to marry/consort with them, it's a moral outrage !

Is it racist to find asians more attractive than non-asians? according to the "New World Dictionary of the American Language" which is not only the 2nd College Edition, but also a "deluxe color edition", first we look up "racist". This tells us that apparently a "racist" is the adjective form of "racism"...and "racism" is the same as "racialism".
In defining "racialism" we find:
"a doctrine or teaching, without scientific support, that claims to find racial differences in character, intelligence, etc., that asserts the superiority of one race over another or others, and that seeks to maintain the supposed purity of a race or the races." With the book definition out of the way, I'd say that Jesus Christ no, it's not racist to find asians more attractive than non-asians! However, my own personal idea (which has no scientific support) is that, if you find that literally ALL asian chicas are hotter to you than ANY other women... you may have a fetish thing goin' on there. I don't like to lay down the term "fetish", mainly because i've been accused of having one, and I don't like it. So, I feel that, since I'm not afraid to acknowledge that there are ass-ugly people out there from ALL races, in addition to fine-ass people out there from ALL races... I don't have a fetish.
Furthermore, racism is a word our (american and i'd assume other) societies over(fucking)use. Most people don't know the true definition of it and throw it about like its any other identifying term. While I'm willing to admit that some people/groups definitely still practice it, most of the time the term "racist" is used is just cuz somebody's have a shitty day, and wants to blame somebody.

and yes, i agree my girlfriend is the shit...

in all honesty i am attracted to what is similar to me, however i can see your arguments. go for it whoever you are attracted to, it doesnt do to limit yourself.

my question is - you are all very "nah it doesnt matter" but are you just saying that to be conformitive and not stand out on a website, where really you are all just nah stick to the same as me?

i dont mean it in a bad way, and it could be better phrased but i am tired, and my brain isnt functioning.

and yes the above does go for me too, however i know what i like, and thats that. good luck to all those who are in interracial relationships, because you have an inevitably harder time of it than those in same race relationships, because in this day and age, whilst its easier for inter racial relationships than say even 10 years ago, it still is bloody hard.

Curses! I have been undone!

You've caught me. I do my utmost not to stand out on web sites, to try and conform and tell people what they want to hear, rather than just saying what I'm actually thinking.


Really, I just want to be loved by someone just like me. *single tear rolls down cheek* - it must be the conditioning from all the years of "loving" myself.

I think it is all a matter of personal opinion. I would never be with an asian chick, but that is just because I don't find them attractive. And I don't think that makes me a racist.

Also, when I see a white dude with an asian or girl of another race, I don't get mad or begin a violent rage, but I do kinda think, "why the fuck would he be with her?" but I guess his answer would be because he loves her.
(the song tainted love also comes into my head though!)

Damn nigger lovers..... well,... i certainly hope that was just for the sake of being different. No more cold pricklies please. Everybody likes warm fuzzies, nobody likes cold pricklies. Negativity's retarded, :fu: and if somebody disagrees with the main line of thought in a thread, then they should produce a worthwhile (at least somewhat of an intellectual) argument to it. I'd imagine the previous statement was a bait meant purely to inflame emotions, but I seriously can't just let that shit slide without comment.
In somewhat the same vein as this, if anyone has seen the film "Bulworth" it's got an interesting message. The movie's got Warren Beatty and Halle Berry (before she was really known). Ultimately the main character (Beatty) is this traditional American politician. He's coming up on re-election and his campaign stresses the white-america family values and blah blah...
His character hates his life so much he puts a mob hit out on himself. Ultimately the character gains an interesting connection to the urban/black community and their mindset. In one of his news interviews he starts talking about certain issues and he says something along the lines of "fuck black people". This statement catches the reporter and the crew a little off guard, he then goes on to say, "fuck white people too". He goes on to explain that everybody should fuck everybody else, and everybody after that should fuck everybody else, if we all fuck each other then it would end the problem of racial differences (well, to an extent) and we could end one of the potentials for conflicts in regions.
I thought that, although the movie is a little tedious at times, (trying to get past Warren Beatty's rancid attempts at rapping) I feel it has a pretty powerful message for as little box-office success it received. If you get a chance, might want to pick it up, some interesting points of view on things. Heh, everybody fuck everybody else...then we only need to worry about ohh, religions, nationalism, and various other clashes of cultures and we could all try to figure out a way to destroy ExxonMobil, among others.

again, yeah... don't be a cold pricklie ya douche sucking cum dumpster.

I'm a chinese guy with a reasonably dark skin colour who can tan pretty dark when unemployed :p.

I was going out with a gorgeous girl of very fair complexion (Yorkshire parents)... a Shire girl actually. (those who don't know.. citizens of the Sutherland Shire believe they live in God's country.. and is actually one of the whitest areas of Sydney). At times, the contrast between out skin colours was pretty dramatic.

We were walking around holding hands in a shopping centre in Miranda one day, and she said "do you ever notice people looking at us?"
"No.. why would they look?"
"Look around.. how many non-whites do you see?.. let alone one with a white aussie?"

From that day on I did notice.. looks of surprise mainly.. and sometimes the odd whisper as well. It used to make me mad.. but after a while I learnt to follow the worst perpertrators home and cook their dogs and eat them. That learned 'em.

Never had a Chinese girlfriend before... actually, only kissed a chinese girl for the first time a few weeks ago. ;)

One of the best parts of being in an interracial relationship is the cultural exchange (and fluid exchange). It's fun introducing someone to new foods, ideas, customs etc. and fun on the receiving end too.

Try having every girl you show an interest in saying "Sorry, I like wogs" or "Sorry, I like lebs" and you'll understand my pain. That is straight out racism (In a weird kinda way).

I actually had a very strange situation once with a gorgeous little white skinned, blonde haired girl who had an Italian father and Aussie/British mum. This girl looked like your run of the mill white girl, could not see any Italian at all. She would not date me because her mum disapproved because I was not a wog. That is an Aussie/British mum not letting her daughter out with another Aussie/British person. Oh and the parents had broken up like 15 years ago so it wasn't like the dad was still around to have a say in it :swear:

I do live in Outer Western Sydney though so it's possible I just live in a wog loving area

my parents were an interracial couple so that means no matter who i go out with we're always an interracial couple.
been a major pain in the ass a few times though as asian parents generally consider me a white guy while white parents generally consider me to be an asian guy. The good thing is you get used to it due to it's frequency and work out how to get around it (eventually), the bad thing is it seems like you always have to put in an extra 50% effort into relationships to make em work (compared to other "same colour" relationships).

To fault someone for an interracial realtionship would be severely hipocritical of me since my g/f is mexican/jewish/russian.

Once you get over an accent or a difference in skin tone, you start to realize peopl eare just people, and everyone has their own way about them. Some groups have common traits, but in teh end, we're all just plain common folk and assholes are a universal trait to all races.

Riiiiight....

I work at a university. You want infested with asians?! I got it in spades. Thankfully I hate all students equally (especially the ones who fucking STAND IN GROUPS IN DOORWAYS, ON THE STAIRS AND IN NARROW CORRIDORS CHATTING ABOUT FUCKALL AND NOT FUCKING MOVING OUT OF THE WAY!!!!), because in general, regardless of so called 'race', people are fuckwits.

Go out with who you want. You're all the same species. But please, I ask one thing of all couples everywhere - if you want to suck your partner's tonsils out, please do it somewhere that I can't see. And don't do it in a fucking narrow corridor!

This is pretty much how I feel but the other way around.

Being asian, it doesn't bother me to see an asian guy with a chick of different nationality, but it kinda irks me to see a white guy with an asian girl. I wouldn't say it pisses me off, I just do an involentary double-take and a WTF goes through my mind.

I think it all comes down the whole "us vs them" mentality. And also to the lesser extent the sexist idea of women being our "property".

"Hey, check out Mr. Nguyen! He's totally mackin on that white chick. Way to go man!"
"Whoa look at that asian chick with that white guy! Boo! Hiss! What's the matter with asian guys?!?"

I guess that this makes me racist. Of course I don't treat anybody differently depending race (I've got friends from all over the globe, which explains my impressive cuss word vocabulary), it's just a mentality that seems built-in in my head.

So the bottom line is to go out with whoever the fuck you wanna go out with. You're gonna get some resistance and some stares, but its human nature. As long as you're both happy, who cares what other people think? People are assholes.

I am a child of an interacial couple (my father burmese my mother danish) and it could be hard at times. Me out with my cousins I would sometimes get that 'whats that white guy doing with those girls' kind of looks. What the hell. Its all good and my kids like the family reunions on my dads side of the family better.

"Hey, check out Mr. Nguyen! He's totally mackin on that white chick. Way to go man!" I've always been kinda curious, how do you pronounce names like "Nguyen"? My main area of study/interest is Chinese, and such a name isn't from those parts, perhaps Laos/southeast asia?

"Whoa look at that asian chick with that white guy! Boo! Hiss! What's the matter with asian guys?!? I guess that makes me a racist"

I would imagine that you're on the right track with thinking that this sort of thought process stems from the whole "women as our property" thing. Your mind could be goin' "what reasons does she have for goin' with him? I know why he's goin' with her.." I definitely wouldn't think that such mental processes make anybody a racist, according to my psychology book (i hate psychology) stereotyping is just a basic process of categorizing your brain uses to make life a little easier. When used just as a rough guide to placement, stereotyping is peachy, just don't want to make the "rough guide" into an "unbending rule".
I would think that your reaction to the white guy with the asian girl could be a reaction to the "women as property" thing, or the assumption of white fellas with asian fetishes..or it may not be...
As far as the "asian fetishes" go, I don't blame you at all. I worry about my gf almost everyday, if sometimes for no other reason, just because i'm worried that some nutjob with an asian fetish will kidnap her and away she goes into the underground trade of human slavery/sex/torture/etc. never to be seen again. Heh, but i tend to worry about...many, many things...damn those websites!!
Furthermore, assuming we have any daughters, if they favor their mother, then i'll always be wary of any gentleman callers and their true motives. (of course that is the way of all fathers,..but one of the things i'll worry about is that a fella will just be interested in the asian persuasion)..

Sorry for any digressions, but to sum up:
how to pronounce "nguyen"?
and wow did i over analyze this entire situation....
after all, you didn't even say it pissed you off....you just ...notice the white guy/asian girl pairings more-so than others..... meh.. my thoughts are aired either way :-D

We were walking around holding hands in a shopping centre in Miranda one day, and she said "do you ever notice people looking at us?"
"No.. why would they look?"
"Look around.. how many non-whites do you see?.. let alone one with a white aussie?"

From that day on I did notice.. looks of surprise mainly.. and sometimes the odd whisper as well. It used to make me mad.. but after a while I learnt to follow the worst perpertrators home and cook their dogs and eat them. That learned 'em.
Same here. Married my Partner of 7 years back in March. She's Indian and did a years industrial training which involved her living down in the Shire for a year. Ppl are very closed minded down there - constantly getting stares.. nothing nasty but it was more of a look of suprise. Still notice the occassional stare but it's such a common thing nowdays. I feel sorry (and alot of respect) for the "pioneers" who coupled up back in the 60's - 80's.

One of the best parts of being in an interracial relationship is the cultural exchange (and fluid exchange). It's fun introducing someone to new foods, ideas, customs etc. and fun on the receiving end too.

Let's see.. Indian food, a heck of a lot more festivals and 2 "christmases" in quick succession (Diwali being their equivalent of xmas). It works both ways and I'd say both families have benefitted from the experience.

Race should never be an issue. Fuck whoever tells you otherwise.

Oh and yeah I've dated hot white chicks. And I'm pretty sure I'm asian. You don't like it? Fuck off. As if I care, I'm in heaven.

Interracial relationships is a non-issue for me. For years Ive been attracted to white guys, basically because I think they are cute, was never really interested in any Aboriginal guys, even if they were good looking. That was until I met the man of my dreams. He's an Aboriginal guy, but he's fairer than I, and as its not an issue with us, I know when we go out there are plenty of people who stare at us wondering what this white guy is doing with the black chick. Personally I dont care as its an issue for them to sort out. We're happy, our families are happy as are our friends.

Race is definitely not an issue. However, I'm the product of an interracial marriage (father is Indian, mother is white) and after 30 years together, my parents still get some funny looks from people. Once, a few years ago, my parents, my younger brother and I were having dinner with an older couple we'd met while in America and out of nowhere, the wife started bitching about interracial marriage, saying that it was evil and wrong and that she would disown any of her children who dated anyone who wasn't white. Not that it bothered my parents -- they just shrug it off and laugh.

Come to think of it, I don't think that anyone in my family has married someone of their own race. Two of my Indian cousins have married Greek girls and one has married an African American and my uncle (Indian) married a white Canadian woman.

So, who gives a shit?

You know.... i think it was pretty cool that my parents never even gave me a funny look when i first brought one home.

I have never thought there was anything wrong with Interracial relationaships, but I also think that being gay is fine... And being a transvestits terrorist wtih lopsided tits is fine with me... I try to go by to each their own. If you get off on catpiss... Enjoy it roll around in it, as long as your not hurting anyone or any cats to get your catpiss... Go ahead indulge.
