Why or why not?
Anyone who has a problem with it is a complete Redneck 😐
Its a bit of a touchy subject. I don't see any problem with it, however relationships like that, and especially children from a relationship like that are often criticized and left out, fitting neither one of the racial groups, and this leads to bullying and so on. Such is the mentality of some idiots out there, and unfortunately people seem to flock to stupidity more so than they do to reason and acceptance. Its the curse of the horde. My parents for one would not like me to date a girl of a different skin color, ie African or Asian, simply because of the massive cultural difference and the belief that relationships such as this often end up in ruins because of this, but they accept that you cant control who you fall in love with. Its a loop, people believe that it will never work and look down on it, so people that try it are then consumed by the tension brought about by the prejudice and generalisations. So in short, if you love someone, go for it, just be prepared to face some of criticism aimed at relationships like this out there.

Why do guys act like they don't care? And as soon as you split up, they sleep with as many people as possible?
What? This has nothing to do with the topic.
Your screenname suggests an illogical bias in your feelings, and leads me to believe that nothing you say should be taken seriously.

I understand that there are a certain amount of things programmed in one's brain to make them favor certain aesthetics or whatever.You should still show respect to everyone though...
Personally, I'm not out to preach to these idiots about not being racists, etc. I honestly couldn't care less what they think, but in this situation, it's a question of tact.
Ie. I'm not too fond of Chinese food in general, (aside from chicken fried rice)...but I don't make it a point to let everyone know that...like rub it in the face of Orientals that I don't prefer their food. I keep it to myself. If the question were ever posed, 'Do you like Chinese food?', I would simply say that I preferred Italian food, Indian food, burgers/fries, etc. I wouldn't be obnoxious and list every reason why I don't like Chinese food. Sure it's my 'right' to express myself in such an arrogant manner...but unless I'm 15 years old, I don't, because I understand there's a minimum level of respect that everyone's entitled to.
I dont know if any of you heard about this but here's a story about a young black teenager who was murdered partly because of his white girlfriend. I was going to make a thread about it when it happened but this seems like a good place to discuss it.

Originally posted by Lord SI read this book a LOOOOOOOOONG time ago called The giver. Good book part of it was in the future, people could only see in black and white (no racism people only saw facial features, race was unknown.), families were assigned and other things (breeder women), I found it to be an interesting book.
