Interracial Dating/Relationships

it can never be ''wrong'' for two ''races'' to mix. Of course not.

However, such mixing creates social problems - especially for the child, who sometimes does not get accepted in the group of either parent's communities for being half-half.

one that note.i read that a majority of 'bi-racial'/'mixed raced' children suffer from identify crises, not knowing where to categorise themselves...(not that we need to be put into categories)

a friend once said :..(she just so happens to be of 'mixed race'😉

'I'm not black and I'm not white....I'm grey?''

she is now in a special home🙂 ( kidding )

Yeah, 'lil B, that is unfortunate about the parents...all it takes is 1 of the parents to feel that way to create tension.

Children feel that way!

When they attend school and have 'identity crisis' not knowing in which group they belong, and neither groups are fully accepting them, thats when the preoblem arises.

Parents love their children and would never put such burden on them.

children/teenagers already have identity crisis as it is - repssure to look and act certain way. When they don't even know what 'colour' they are, I think that is an extra, dont you.

Why are we assuming every child of more than one ethnicity enters some black hole of identity crisis when they enter school?

I've never ever seen that happen and I went to a school with many different ethnicities and mixed ethnicities. The only time I've ever heard of identity crisis happening is when it's a mixed marriage family. A few kids of different ethnicity, not ever with people who have parents of two races.

I don't understand why this whole "half-half" label is continually raised.

How can you expect social boundaries to be broken and children of two or more ethnicities to be accepted when you're casually referring to them as half something? Why not just let them be a person? They're human, they're not some kind of lab-produced cyborg.

I do however feel that it is necessary to know our past, so we can correct it. Some pain must come with that.

Knowledge can hurt, just as if I were under the illusion that someone was my real father but wasn't. It would be better to know it, but it would change me for the rest of my life, even though I would love the man who raised me, I would start to wonder.

No problem, I won't. I didn't realize it was your friend.

I would have thought twice but it was a month's old conversation, sorry about that.

When its trouble, is when harassment is thrown there in the mix.

No one has made gross generalisation. At no point have any of us said ''every child'' or ''all children''

Why are you assuming that they aren't having identical crisis just because you have never see it happen?

Oh, I imagined this then:

Children feel that way? THEY? Sounds like you are making a generalisation there, intended or not.

Show me where I did this and I'll tell you why. The fact that I didn't do that will prove that quite hard for you.

Never did I insinuate that it doesn't happen because I haven't seen it often. I just said why are we (you) assuming it does. After all, you did say that children (whole term) feel that way and that they (all inclusive, you specified no other) all encounter it.

Ignore this, accidental double post.

I don't care about race. As long as the woman I'm dating is bootylicious is all good! YEAH!

I think whobdamandog overtly hit an interesting point as well. Beliefs. People tend to want to stick to the same tradition and beliefs and not want to change at all. Their preferences or anything.

Failure to change can be a sad thing...

In the end, we still have the same primary functions, so if you love someone why not?

You do realise that the greater level of ethnic diversity between two parents results in a more balanced gene pool for the resulting child.

I think its just as beautiful a thing to have a multiracial child than to have a single "ethnic" child.

Like I said, I see that biracial children are often the most beautiful children around.

It sounds simple enough, but they are also what the future will look like.

A little bit on/3 little birds off...

Do you kids know that Bob Marley was the progeny of two different ethnicities?

I imagine he means practically, there will be more and more mixture which cannot be reversed.

And look how he turned out 😕

The evidence is really starting to lose the gooey consistency and harden into something concrete, with regards to your mentality.
