I don't see to many people on here that are in a relationship where one is white and the other hispanic. Maybe you just don't consider yourselves in an IRR? I am white and my love is hispanic and I have never really had to experience racial issues due to this fact. Are there any of you out there that have had negative experiences due to this? Maybe I have and I just didn't notice??:rolleyes:

I am white y my husband is Puerto Rican. He came to the US when he was 10. The only negative experience we continuously have is the fact that he is a convicted felon and I am a ADA/lawyer. We catch alot of sh** for that. People think that because I am white and have the job of prosecuting people that I need to find myself someone who is of the same caliber as myself. I laugh at that nonsense. My husband has taught me things I never learned in law school and taught me things that I use every day when I'm at work. He had a good job before he went back in on a violation. He is a super father and the world's greatest husband (even though he tries my patience at times).
Love doesn't know color or race. It doesn't care how much money one makes or what kind of job you have. We came from very different worlds and made it work for the las 19 years. That goes to show you race doesn't matter.
I learned to appreciate my husband and who he really was when he almost died on me in the summer of 2004. I learned that he was the most precious gift God had given my daughters and I and no one was going to ever tell me differently.
Racism is for narrow minded miserable people!

I have dated lots of different races. I find it that society accepts a mexican/white relationship better tan a black/white relationship. It just takes time. Although 100% of people will not agree thats ok everyone has thier opinion and I have mine. Differences are what keeps us alive! So I accept the people who look down on me or anyone else who is in an IR, I realize that it is ignorance and not everyone can be intelligent. So :blah: . LOL

I am also white and my man is half mexican half puetro rican. I can definitely relate with you Lyteeydlwyr because I just graduated this summer with a double major...Social Psychology and Criminal Justice Administration (funny huh) and was just accepted into Graduate School for Counseling. Anyways I get alot of slack too because my friends and family all believe I should be with someone on the same education level as I am, I don't see it like that. That’s not what love is about and I wish people saw the things I see in him. Everyone makes mistakes in life some just pay for it while others don’t..we all make mistakes! My man has a lot of changes to make in regards to the lifestyle he was living and he is fully aware that he will not be with me if he gets out and goes back to his old ways. However, I have faith in my man and believe in him. He wants to change and wants to be a positive role model for his two daugthers, my daugther, and one day our children. I love my man and it is hard at times because people do judge him based on his race, which I can't stand. I love him for him and not the color of his skin, he is beautiful in my eyes and always will be! The last time I seen my baby was May 31rst….I can't WAIT to see him. I live in Minnesota and got accepted into Graduate School in Texas which is where he is locked up (long story)…we will FINALLY see each other again next month…:)

I am Irish and my man is Puerto RIcan - we live down south now and i see it more here than anywhere weve ever been ... But most people judge the living situation before the color i found .. but now that my man is home i dont really care what people got to say ... its all good ...thanks for the favor ... just makes me stronger...

I am also white with a Puerto Rican hubby. I love how diverse the two of us are! We have never had anybody scrutinize our marriage based on the fact that it is an interracial one. Fortunately for us, everybody is very supportive of our union. Interracial marriages/relationships are very common here in Miami :thumbsup:

I have a friend who is Puerto Rican and his girlfriend is White. Their relationship has been received really well by the public. His mother would prefer that he be with a Latin woman, but other than that he says that he's never been ostracized for being with someone who's white.

I'm white and my Fiance is hispanic.. We haven't had any problems.

I am white and I prefer Hispanic men and I have never gotten any grief for it personally I always loved the differences especially around the holidays. in fact if someone would ever have said something I probably would have just hung on my man on purpose. What a boring world it would be if we never added a little color huh? I am really white most my men have beautiful tan skin.

the last lin should read have Had beautiful tan skin not have I only date one at a time LOL :o

My baby is a hot Mexican...:drool: and I am a white girl...:yes: We have never even gotten so much as a second glance. :shrug: That I've noticed anyways...:hmm: LOL! :D

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/8/8_2_99.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZUxdm020YYUS) I'm white and my husband is hispanic and we live in a small town but have not had any trouble or weird looks. If we had we'd never noticed. I don't see color when I look at people I see the person.

I am white and my husband is of South American descent. For the most part, nobody really bothers us but when we've gone to Northern parts of New York State, we tend to get a lot of funny looks - some dirty looks. We had quite a few negative experiences when we lived out in the Midwestern US. I don't understand why people are judgmental of any relationship whether its white/hispanic; black/white; chinese/japenese - you get my drift. I think the most important part of any relationship is the two people involved and people should keep their negative thoughts to themselves. I have even had a family member (before I married my husband) ask me why I could stick to my own! I think Happiness is what's most important.
I'm glad to see that there are so many of you girls out there who are white with latin men.

I also haven't had any problems. I'm white...my man is Puerto Rican and Italian.

Well I'm white and my guy is mexican. In FL it's not that uncommon though :p the only slack i've gotten is from mexican girls, just hating on me... why would he be with a white girl, when he could be with a mexican? But that goes for all races... I just seem to hear about more of it here. And that goes both ways... I have white/black/whatever guys that I know that tell me why be with a mexican when you could have this (Insinuating that they're better) Hmm... If I wanted one of them I would be with one, same with him. But I love my cholo, and he loves his guerita, so what can I say...

I am not "white", I am caucasian and my huband is mexican american. Anyways we have a 2 yr old daughter who is obviously 1/2 caucasian, 1/2 mexican.
We have not had any problems here in California, people do stare at times but I think it's not really because I am caucasian but the fact I am a natural redhead (which has always made me stand out in a crowd even when I didn't want it to). Often times I have had people speak to me in spanish thinking I am mexican or something which is funny to me because I am so white.
His family is more than accepting they love us. 2 of his sisters have married out side their race 1 is with a 1/2 caucasian, 1/2 portuguese, the other is with a philipino guy.
It's great that my daughter is being exposed to both english and spanish. 1 grandma speaks to her in english and the other in spanish. She has all kinds of english and spanish books and toys. The best of both worlds as I see it. Even better for her future as being bilingual is almost esential in getting a good job here in California.
It is more accepted here but I do see when caucasian women are with african american men or vise versa they do get alot of stares even to this day. :confused:

I think a lot of it is where you live... in Fl, Tx, Ca, etc I think it's really common to see caucasian women with hispanic men, and visa versa. At least in the places where I've lived, but here it's also very common to see caucasian women with african-american men... I personally know SEVERAL... maybe it's more culturally accepted depending on where you live...

Hello,

I am white and my husband is Puerto Rican/Italian- I've never had a problem per se due to our ethnicity, but I do get a lot of phone calls where they speak Spanish, and I haven't a clue what they're saying - :D
You'll probably get more flack because he's a conviceted felon, than for his nationality. I met my chulo in 1987, upstate- we got married in 2000- and we're still together. Latino men are the bomb !!!:p

Good luck with everything !!!

I am white and he is Puerto Rican and I met him while he was in, we've never been together on the outside, but he told me that we will have some problems at the prison when I visit next month. Apparently at SCI Dallas in PA they don't like interracial couples.
I guess I'll just let it all go straight over my head if they want to be that small minded because to me he is just a man, I don't see a colour or race.

My man is Hispanic and i am white. I just love him to ends of this world. He treats me like a Reyna! We get looks sometimes but i like it. People are getting used to seeing different races together. And our babies are just beautiful. Now when i go to visit him, he's in county right now. I get alot of looks from jail house people. Like what am i doing with a hispanic, and i just smile and keep on with my business. Good Luck with your relationship!

I am Mexican and Indian and my husband now is white and he is proud to be married to my race and my son is like me Mexican ,Indian and Italian but says he's just Indian and hispanic! The only person whos doesn't like it is my mother - in - law Oh well!!!!

I am white and my boyfriend is from Honduras (central america). I have always dated spanish men, I have basically grown up around spanish people, I don't really get concerned with what people think of my relationship. I am in Greenville SC and its very common here to see a spanish guy with a white girl, or white boy with a spanish girl. I think its cool we can all mingle like that, and not give a damn.

100%** BORICUA**

I am a New York Rican,...represent'n **East 182nd St, BRONX! **

Danny I Italian!

hi
use to live in the Bronx 182nd and Bassford,, was married to a Newyork-Ricen.. welcome to Pto..

I've been with latin women, only problem was with other latin girls.

doble que lastima.

I've been with latin women, only problem was with other latin girls.
It's YOUR relationship, yet OTHERS have a problem with it!! :eek: IRR couples are EVERYWHERE -- I don't understand how people could have a problem with such a common thing. I really don't get it. :shrug:

I'm half mexican and half white and my man is white I live in Iowa and interracial couples are very common.

I'm white he's Mexican and we both love it that way

I'm white and my man is Hispanic. He said that what may generate some funny looks is that he has lots of tattooes and I have none. I met him while incarcerated, so I don't know if we'll run into any kind of problems when we're in public, but I doubt we'll get many weird looks. What people might find more odd is that I'm European and live here while he's in Texas and we'll have a long distance relationship for quite a while until I'm done with my education...
I don't care if anyone has an issue with us being interracial, because I am proud to have him as my man, and I know he's proud to be mine.

My Baby Is Half Mexican, And 1/4 White, 1/4 Black. And Im White And Natvie American. I Love My Mixed Man!!! Aint He Sexy!!!!! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Im white but half mexican, and my fiance is from Mexico. The only time it has been a problem is when other latina girls seemingly dont appreciate it. His family seems to like me, and they would like to see our baby,lol. I guesst hat is a good sign!! His ex girlfreind was latina and her remark was, anyone but her...lol!! either way, when these small things happen, i dont let it bother me. weve been together for 4 years and are getting married on the 28th!!!!!!!I cant wait!!!
Just follow your heart, and dont let other people infuence you. The one thing that is important in life is to be happy. My man completes me in a way that no one else ever could have. So, at least for now, i am waiting, waiting to get married!!!:yay: :yay: :yay:

I went to Mexico to visit my honey's family and were talking about no white people-no black people. So as to who got the most funny looks? I think when we go to Mexico to live we will get many more looks than what we did here in the states. But the people in Mexico are much more friendlier to outsiders, than people here in the states. They were very welcoming and tried very hard to help me fit in. I'm excited about moving there!

I'M HISPANIC BUT I LOOK WHITE AND MY MANS HISPANIC BUT HE'S DARK SO I FEEL ALOT OF RACISM FROM THE OLDER PEOPLE BUT MOSTLY FROM COPS THEY'LL TELL ME I SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM OF HIM BECAUSE OF WHAT HIS RACE IS AND I JUST LAUGH BECAUSE WERE BOTH HISPANIC AND THE COLOR NEVER REALLY MATTERS. AND WITH MY KIDS ALOT OF PEOPLE WILL TELL US ARE KIDS DON'T LOOK LIKE US BECAUSE OF THERE COLOR NOT BEING TO LIGHT LIKE ME OR DARK LIKE THEM.

Mi Luz is 100% mexican, I am spanish/white mix.

I am white and my ex-husband was hispanic. We were together for 6 years and the only person that made a big deal about it was mother. She said that I may as well been with a black man or something. I never let it bother me though. As far as people passing us by no one ever made any kind of negative comments regarding our relationship. We had a son together and he is now 9 years old. His biological father (the hispanic) has not had any contact with him since he was 2 years old when we were divorced. Which is a little hard to explain to a 9 year old...but he has a wonderful step-dad that is white and loves him like his own. When my son was 10 months old my son was diagnosed with severe Hemophilia (a bleeding disorder that causes his blood not to clot normally). This is a genetic disorder, in our case it is what is called a genetic mutation beings there is not any trace of the disorder in my families DNA gene line. My mother claimed that it was because of the inter-racial mix of genes. I think that is the stupidist thing that I have ever heard her say. Nine years later she has changed her mind...expecially when she found out that only the mother carries this genetic disorder. Some people are lame about issues like race. I say if you are happy then do it. Don't let skin color make your life any harder than it already is........Good luck to you and your man.

my man is salvadorian and i am half italian half argentinean ((i look more italian though)) we havent experienced any racial issues because its common where i live in boston...but we went on vacation to north carolina in the suburbs ((where mostly whites live)) and they always gave us a dirty looks...especially since im pregnant with his child!

I'm white..my BF is mexican..and when we got together in Michigan there were never any racial issues...and now that I am in New Mexico...it's not even a thought around here. I too, have always been attracted to hispanic men...as far back as I can remember....to each their own is what I think!:thumbsup:

I AM HISPANIC AND MY BOYFRIEND IS WHITE. IN OUR VISIT WE HAD A COUPLE OF LOOKS BUT THAT WAS ABOUT IT:rolleyes:

The Most Important Thing Is To Love And Understand Eachother
People Are Always Going To Talk Right?

Okay Im Mexican American Light Skin, Dark Hair.... My Baby Is 100% White... My Family Is So Traditionally Mexican... But The Axcepted Him So Easily Because They See The Way He Makes Me Happy And He Cares About Me.... Yeah Im Im College Still To Be A Teacher .... My Friends Are The Ones That Say (c#@9) But I Dont Care True Love See's No Color, Age Difference (im 24 Hes Turning 31), Economical Positions... True Love Is That True Love..... And He Is My True Love.....

Good Topic....;)

HOLA !!
I found this thread to be really interseting.....
I am a blonde blue eyed Irish girl and my boyfriend is a beautiful dark and handsome Ecuadorain....When I met him I never even thought about him being white/hispanic or anything else, i just thought he was a sweetheart and HOT!!! It wasn't until my ex husband once said to me...."too bad you can't find someone white" that I experienced prejudice....I guess i should just consider the source...which is why he is my EX husband.....CeeGee

my hubby is hispanic and im white. i wouldnt have it any other way

Well i am a Hispanic female (parents from south America) and my new man is Caucasian. this is my first, my ex husband was also from south america. but as of this time i haven't experience nothing bad or good. the only thing is that i get to teach him a bit of my culture.

Im white and my boyfriend is puerto rican. i haven't noticed anyone reacting negatively to our relationship yet.

I'm white and my husband is hispanic. I haven't noticed any racism with us, other than my own mother. She is very prejudice and never has liked our relationship. The fact that he is in prison was just icing on the cake. But, I really don't care what people think, so I probably wouldn't notice, or care how others felt. I have had people that know me comment because he is very dark, and they assumed he was part black. I do feel that the perception of society is more negative for white/black relationships rather than white/hispanic.

Well I'm in a IRR I'm white and Chuy is 100% mexican from Mexico!
I have come up against alot of racism but we spent most of our time together living in a hispanic community, so we didnt face alot then
but now that he's in prison it's a whole nother game with the CO's
and sometimes he doesnt tell me all of it because I'll start to Cry!


KarrieMI

I'm white and my man is hispanic.

. . . the only person that made a big deal about it was mother. . .
ooooouu, I wanted my son and daughter to call me "mother" when they were yonger, but they wouldn't hear of it!! :eek: :( So they called and still call me mommy and ma.
. . . When my son was 10 months old my son was diagnosed with severe Hemophilia (a bleeding disorder that causes his blood not to clot normally). This is a genetic disorder, in our case it is what is called a genetic mutation beings there is not any trace of the disorder in my families DNA gene line. My mother claimed that it was because of the inter-racial mix of genes. I think that is the stupidist thing that I have ever heard her say. . .
Well it was ignorant of your mom to say -- I say ignorant because at the time, I'm sure she didn't know any better and that she probably honestly believed what she said.

But no, love, the disorder wouldn't be in your family. Children don't have the same blood type as their mother though they come from mom and dad. Because things are passed through blood and children get their blood from their dad, whatever blood type the father has is what your child(ren) will have. This is why if your child(ren) needed blood, they wouldn't be able to get it from you -- it would have to be either from their dad, or, from someone who has the child and the father's blood type. Surprisingly to some, this is how people sometimes learn that "dad" really ain't "they dad" -- when a time comes when a child needs blood (can't be got from the mom), once the dad's blood is tested, the doctor hits them with a :nono: "this child is not this man's birth child." And, that's when dad be like :eek:!!

My boyfriend is hispanic , and I am white...
Never had a problem with it...... Nobody has ever said anything negative.... However I was before with a black guy and I was in foot locker and you know how 'kids say the darndest things' Well this lil black boy looked straight at us and says "oh my god" and his mom was like brian be quiet .... I just laughed about it because I never thought anything of it.. But we all have our own opinions about things...

My man is Mexican-I'm white ( Spanish, Portuguese). He is 17 years older than me. The age difference trips people out more than the race difference even though we both look younger than we are. :thumbsup:

But no, love, the disorder wouldn't be in your family. Children don't have the same blood type as their mother though they come from mom and dadUMMM, yes they do. My daughter and I have the same blood type. Which is also the same as my mother's ;) My son has his father's blood type.

I say to each their own. We are ALL human and bleed the same color. ;) EVERY couple has issues.


Good luck in ALL your endeavor's :)

Stacy

I'm white and all I have ever dated were mexican men, but here in Texas it doesnt seem to be an issue. There is so much mixing of everyone of all colors it doesnt seem to be a big deal here.

i guess i'm the odd ball cuz NOBODY so far is mexican with a white man and i have had some problew, let me let you, PROBLEMS!
i never thought i'd end up with a white boy cuz i've always liked a tan sexy body but you can pick who you fall in love with

My man is Cuban and I'm white. I was able to pic up spanish which is cool so I speak it fluently with my man. And I am pround to say we have our own little cubana/americana daughter Julianna..

my man is mexican and im white/australian, unfortunately my father isn't very accepting of the fact that he is a mexican who is also in jail but opinions like that don't bother me because i love ricardo for who he is regardless what people may say or think of our relationship

i guess i'm the odd ball cuz NOBODY so far is mexican with a white man and i have had some problew, let me let you, PROBLEMS!
i never thought i'd end up with a white boy cuz i've always liked a tan sexy body but you can pick who you fall in love with

i am filipino and mexican and dude is a white boy. ;) the only thing that is a little different is when he says "er." other than that, it's all good.

i knw most LATINA SPANISH mothers INWARDLY deep down that i know of
will want their son ONLY with a spanish or ethnic not blanquitas...gringas etc. (white)
but they SMILE IN WHITE GIRLS FACES pretend to love or like u and reality they are hating u but ONLY
speakin from what i see. i have ONE friend who is gringa nice MATURE SWEET white girl and she is hurt now
cause her spanish guy mother PRETENDED to love her etc and all the sudden mama was actually hookin her
son up with his EX A LATINO ASIAN AND BLK MIXED LADY.....i mean she will place his pix in pen pal sites etc.
crazy huh,but some hispanich latin mothers are this way and blk women too,their mothers too that is how our
moms are at times.....

how WRONG is that...so i knw alot of hispanic
mothers might SMILE in the white girl face but want their son with their own kind...

i am hispanic and blk mixed and proud of it and mi younger papi chulo age very early 20s so young sexy mi papi es he is from new york new york as i am from there now in nice nearby jersey and he be home really soon he is all BORICUA...PUERTO RICAN HISPANIC LATINO......
:)
and his mother love me cause i am not from the getto lol HER words not mine lol
or from some cheap trailer park area lol but bottom line is to each their own and moms need to STAY out of it
as strangers who got staring probs with some of us.they just hating imo.

but reality is that white can and will NEVER BE BLK GIRLS/LATINA WOMEN and vice
versa.
so just LOVE WHO U LOVE and do not worry too much bout moms ya know..

if he TRULY LOVE U THEN I KNOW THAT
HE WILL BE WITH U NOT CHEAT ON HIS "OWN"Kind wit u behind ur back etc......

and that i am not a bad woman and i kno how to cook and clean etc and i am set in life FOCUS CLEAN and latina 1/2 and blk 1/2 so she love me and how mature i m and makin her son a better man and i am in my late 30s....

so we get no probs but i know that most latina moms want their baby boy
with their own kind or of ethic race,ones i know anyway.:)

I am Mexican and he is White.... I have never noticed any problems and since we grew up together, I know his family doesn't have a problem with that either, nor does mi familia! More power to us ladies!

my man is hispanic and im this mix of different european, hispanic, and american indian (native). i don't care what race the guy is if he's a good guy and the right guy for me then im happy. and my family better accept him too. if my family doesn't accept it, then they wont be seeing me around. my dad has been with black and mexican so if he had a problem with it i'd call him a hypocrit. and i doubt my mom would have any problem with it. but yah its more likely that people would trip about a "white" with a "black" than a "white" with a hispanic. oh i dated a vietnamese guy and his mom didn't want him to be with me cause she thinks "white" women are gold diggers. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!! i thought that was so stupid. she didn't even try to get to know me. she told him not to bring me around the house and everything. =(

white is not spanish spanish is latina nothing to do with white, we are latina and hispanic race. not white and white is white there fore if ur
WHITE AND HISPANIC Dating then you ARE INDEED in a interracial
marriage and or dating relationship for sure.....

blk women and my latinas have more cultural and stereo types to overcome then white women as we are more similar too,even if some do not realize that.....

i do notice that there seem to be more blk men discussion on
white women here then other interracial.


my girlfriend is all blk lovely nice blck woman who white man love her to death and my other friend is mix blk/white and her man is all white italian................((BOTH their men like mine all got locked up the same time lol)

i'm white and my bf is mexican. we haven't had any problems. we live in tx though, and it's normal here.

DannyWaits07: I agree with you to a certain degree. I can't say that most of the latina moms think this way b/c i certainly don't think that way, neither my sister, cousins, and the majority of latina moms i know. We are happy with the woman that make our sons happy regardless of race, color, age, etc. My two sons have been with white girls (gringas) and they have been very happy. The girls were welcomed in our family and we had wonderful times teaching them some words in Spanish. They were eager to learn the language and the "recetas" to learn how to cook their men's favorite food.
On the other hand, i must say that "nuestras abuelas", (grandmoms) always instilled on their families this type of thinking. My mother always frowned when my sons brought home the white girls, but never dare say anything b/c i didn't raised my children like that. I'm not saying that all "abuelas" did this, but the majority did. The way i see it is that since latinos hang out with other latinos( most of the time) they tend to fall in love with somebody from their same culture, of course, this doesn't happen all the time. You don't tell ur heart who to fall in love with.
Now, regarding those mothers who pretended 2 love these girls, that's not honesty and for me it has 2 do with their characters. Just my :twocents:, well more like 25 cents. LOL.

I am white y my husband is Puerto Rican. He came to the US when he was 10. The only negative experience we continuously have is the fact that he is a convicted felon and I am a ADA/lawyer. We catch alot of sh** for that. People think that because I am white and have the job of prosecuting people that I need to find myself someone who is of the same caliber as myself. I laugh at that nonsense. My husband has taught me things I never learned in law school and taught me things that I use every day when I'm at work. He had a good job before he went back in on a violation. He is a super father and the world's greatest husband (even though he tries my patience at times).
Love doesn't know color or race. It doesn't care how much money one makes or what kind of job you have. We came from very different worlds and made it work for the las 19 years. That goes to show you race doesn't matter.
I learned to appreciate my husband and who he really was when he almost died on me in the summer of 2004. I learned that he was the most precious gift God had given my daughters and I and no one was going to ever tell me differently.
Racism is for narrow minded miserable people!

Loved your answer... My Honey Bunny is 1/2 Hispanic which makes our son 1/4???:p :p Does any of it really matter when you get to the heart of it??? Bottom line is the love crosses all racial barriers ,as it should...
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I'm white and my boyfriend/baby's dad is mexican and we haven't had any problems so far anyways and hopfully ot stays that way

My husband is hispanic and black and Im white, Maybe because of where we live, El Paso there isnt really that many problems cuz of our race difference, now our age difference that is a different story, Im 41 and he is 23,,,,,,,,,, pick up your jaw

Welcome all to the forum!

:D More Power to You, girl. I'm 52 and my man is 32!:p

I am white and my husband is Mexican and I know that it does bother some people, but I try not to take notice, it's those people whose opinion doesn't mean much to me anyways so I don't bother with them in my life....we have been together for the past 22 years and every day seems like the first day , being from different backgrounds one could say that it never gets boring, it is truly an adventure with my husband one that I wouldn't change for the world, one has to live their lives for themselves and if you're truly happy deep down inside that is something special that many don't even experience in a lifetime......

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I will sleep better tonight :) I love my Mexican to death and will fight off all the stereotypes and racism like a lioness

Finally meeting a woman who is married to a Mexican like I :) The racism and stereotypes I am facing each day piss the hell out of me. Do you get the advice I get to leave him because "mexicans drink, beat their wives and get into fights?". I am sick of this. I love my husband to death.

I am white and my boyfriend if Puerto Rican and I haven't noticed anyone making much of it.

Angie71, Man am I jealous! So you're still able to be a prosecutor even though your husband is a convict? You are fortunate! I was lead worker in my unit working with CPS (Child Protective Services) for over 8 years when my husband was released from prison. I was FIRED!!!! Not because I did anything wrong, but because one of the supervisors called in a false allegation of sexual abuse saying my husband sexually abused my then 15 yr. old daughter the first week he was home with us! My daughter wasn't even in this town the first two weeks he was released from prison! She was over 100 miles away! So, he gets arrested and I get put on leave for six months and then CPS "found" me "guilty" of negligent supervision for allowing my husband to parole to our home. They "found" my husband not guilty of sexual abuse and even said in their "findings" letter that they saw no further risk that he may abuse her in the future! So, they fired me and I lost my career (I had eleven yrs. to go until I could retire with full benefits from the state), lost my medical insurance, and lost my ability of being a caseworker as now I can't coach soccer any more, can't be a 4H leader, can't have direct supervisory contact with any children at all. My credibility was nil, zero! Suddenly I was mentally incompetent, untrustworthy, and had "impaired judgment"! I even took the psychological evaluation they asked me to do and went for a couple of "therapy" sessions and that all backfired on them because the psych eval and the therapy sessions showed there was nothing wrong with me!

My employer, the State of Texas, had told me repeatedly that, as long as my husband's crimes weren't against children, they didn't have a problem. Well, that obviously changed as soon as he was released from prison!

Yeah, he's Mexican too. Born in Juarez. Raised in foster care here in Texas. He's a naturalized citizen of the U.S.A. and served as a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army! Yeah, we get discriminated against, but in more ways than ethnicity! Only in America! The land of the "free" and the home of the brave!

I too, have had no real issues w/ the fact of me being white and my man being Mexican/ Puerta Rican. I look at it as other peoples problem, not mine. If your happy then be happy. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS DO YOU!! The people that talk, stare or look are the people that have no idea. I have dated nothing buy latino's. My ex husband was from El Salvador. Of course your gonna get a lot of opinions but that is always going to be. Live your life for you.

I am white and my man is puerto rican, I've never felt judged or even felt that we were in an "interacial" relationship. I've always just felt that we were equals. Maybe people do feel a certain way about it, but I've never noticed!

My man is Mexican, I am white. The biggest problem I think I;ve encountered is when I'm talking to my kids in Spanish, I hear This is America, you need to speak English. Excuse me, I'll talk to my kids however I please thank you. My youngest daughter is 2 and at this point she speaks more Spanish than English. But that's the way it was with all my kids, there are 4 of them. Now the oler ones 12, 9, and 8 speak very bad Spanish cuz they are spoken to now more in English. Sure I also get funny looks too while speaking Spanish, cuz I am so white!

Luis is Mexican and I am white. White as can be! LoL He had an aunt (by marriage) who liked to talk about me being white, but she was jealous because when we got together Luis had been dating her cousin (I didn't know. Eek.) and I got some comments from people about the IRR. (I live in a rural area where I constantly have to explain to people what "cholo" is thanks to Lean Like a Cholo and all the kids here who sing it and have nooooo idea what that word means, and are usually SHOCKED when they find out what they've been singing! So obviously, the Hispanic culture is not something that people here understand or are accepting of.) But I never cared. We aren't together anymore, we're building up our friendship again and who knows where it will go from there... But the other day when he asked if I was seeing anyone. He said "Oh, he's a white boy isn't he?" And raised his eyebrow and gave me this look like, "you know you don't want to date a white boy." Luis always made more comments about the difference in race than anyone else. He always had some joke about me being a little white girl. But, he's just messin' around. I mean, I think if you live in an area like ours where there are definitely prejudice people, you just gotta keep your humor about it. I mean, if you don't have humor, what do you have?!?

Well I'm white and my guy is mexican. In FL it's not that uncommon though :p the only slack i've gotten is from mexican girls, just hating on me... why would he be with a white girl, when he could be with a mexican?

Parts of my own family aside... this is really the only "problem" i've had... hispanic girls who don't understand why he'd want to be with a white girl. I don't blame them for hatin tho, my boyfriend is freakin gorgeous!!:yes:
I live in the CV in California tho, so it'd probably be more uncommon to see a white/white relationship. I love the diversity, i love my man & i'd love him regardless of what race he is.

well if anyone is familiar with me and what I went through with my ex, should know what Im about to say! lol I am all the way hispanic and he is white. The race issue was not an issue for the first 2 1/2 years until he got out and I found out he was with the AB! when he came out I noticed he had the lightning bolts! he even said to me once when I confronted him about his new found friends "well, you don't look mexican?!" and he admitted that he joined so, needless to say I am no longer in that relationship but this was my only ir relationship ever!

I am white and my husband is Brazilian, I actually have never even thought of us being in an interracial relationship. Hmmm, It doesnt matter to me, I love him he loves me. Pretty simple. And if anyone has anything to say about it....... WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

I had lived my life saying that I would never be with anyone who was not hispanic....Then I met my love who is white... Boy did that come out of left field. We kid eachother about stuff all the time... I love him and his color or mind does not matter...of course all the people who I said that too don't let me forget... :)

Well I'm Mexican, but I'm light skinned and freckled, and he's a total white boy. We really don't realize we're in an IR half the time. It's an "oh yeah..." sort of thing. It's only when I mention tamales on christmas eve, or start muttering in spanish, that he remembers I'm not white.

I'm white he's mexican and i have never thought of us having an interracial relationship but if he were to come to the Uk it would be very noticeable as the area i live in is very racist about skin colour and he would not be made welcome by the small minority of pig headed people.

I don't see to many people on here that are in a relationship where one is white and the other hispanic. Maybe you just don't consider yourselves in an IRR? I am white and my love is hispanic and I have never really had to experience racial issues due to this fact. Are there any of you out there that have had negative experiences due to this? Maybe I have and I just didn't notice??:rolleyes:

You have never had any negative experiences because you're dating a Hispanic?! Oh my goodness, consider yourself lucky. I live in the south, and we basically had to keep our relationship a secret for almost 4 months. When I told my family, I thought they would disown me. I've lost friends because of our relationship, but I've grown a lot closer to my family because they've become accepting. I think they thought it was just a fling and I would get over it, but we've been together for 3 years. Guess they found their answer.

I especially hate it when we used to go out to eat and we would get sneers from older white couples and middle-aged white people. Then they would lean over to others and start whispering. It was so degrading. Love has no color, and it's so stupid that it is even a factor. People can be so closed-minded.

I'm so happy you didn't experience anything like that! Happy Holidays!

im white and my mans mexican. the only problem we have is my brother and father dont except it.. but im the little sister and daddys lil girl they never except any guy ever.. so i dont think it has nothing to do with what race.

I am a white woman and my man is Puerto Rican. I have only once come across an issue with the public. It was a long time ago and haven't had any problems since. And where we live now is a little snooty.....and I expected to have some issues, but haven't. Everyone has been great!!!:D

I actaully just posted in another thread but if i would have seen this one first i would have posted here instead. :p Well I'm Latina... *Guatemalteca* and my guy is a full white boy. He's actaully sort of country which i like to tease him about. :D We've never had any problems YET! We are also a MWI couple so once he comes home and meets my dad's side of the fam I'm sure I will hear some things. That side of the fam. really just my grandma is still stuck on old traditions and told us girls if we ever brought home someone from another race she would disown us.. yeah no joke. She mainly told us if they were black or azn (Which i dont get) but has made comments about any other race as well. I've never dated a white guy before but I love my hunnie and if he was green i would still love him. :)

I'm white, hence snowbunny, although I was raised in a latino community and speak fluent Spanish, my man is Puerto Rican and tho' I never saw us as being IR it seems others have......my father.......some of the CO's.......some of our friends. It doesn't bother us. I know that I'm the only white girl he's been with and he makes more racist remarks than anyone else but then again.....he doesn't understand my white ways.

I am a white woman (Italian) Hubby is PR we have never ever had any problems what so ever. I also never looked at it as a I.R.R. We are madly in love and that is all that matters~

I am white and he is mexican, we are MWI so we haven't had a chance to be out in the world together yet, as for when I visit, I have not noticed any strange looks. The only time the differences come up is when we talk about traditions and he says, "that must be a white people thing" its so cute I always smile when I think about it.

boy i used to see MANY interracial white men with blacks with also white men with hispanic,that is interracial 100%.....
LOL

i dont see how they cant when hispanic lol i know me and my girls who are hispanic and hispanic mix one of my girls she is seeing a dude who is
all white and he KNOW, she is NOT white lolol but latina with mix blood.....

and my few friends who are bello HISPANIC proud, not gringa...

we know we all in interracial relationships,but do not put too much emphasis on the whole RACE THING.that is just stupid no offense to you all...

we know we are not white and quite honestly we feel being latina and latinos etc we feel we aer MORE closer to the lovely black morena race food culture musica hair texture some of us etc. upbringing etc,where we live etc. so i do consider mi self in a INTERRACIAL RELATION,EVEN IF MI fiancee,bello daniel papi is, looking more hispanic,which he is not. he is irish and 1/2 moreno(blk)

I am white and he is Mexican. We have not experienced any negative reaction and our families accept us.:) People only comment on why I am with someone in prison...:( :rolleyes: I try to get creative with my responses to that question since it is not their business in the first place. I am with him because I want to be with him and love him!:thumbsup: :D

Hello ladies,
Well I am Hispanic and he is white and beside my Mother in Law I have not had any problems with our IRR. His mother had a problem, but married and 3 kids later she does not say much anymore, when we were getting ready to have our first child she was all "conserned" with how socitity would treat her for being mixed. I just would ignore her even thou she would piss me off. But my husband would tell her off all the time. So I didnt have to say much. Now she keeps her opinons to her self or my husband lets her have it. Beside that fact that she looks like an idiot when she would make her comments. She is the only one in the family that is like that.

I never thought of my relationship as an interracial relationship since recently...We're both from NYC land of anything is possible....When I first met him I thought he was puerto rican or a light skin dominican (By the way I am dominican hispanic) But he told me he was black and I am like black but your light skin with green eyes....he laughed and told me he was Half Black (mother side) and half irish (daddy side)....I never cared...he doesn't care his younger brother is dominican....(guess his momma doesn't care either lol)...And we never pay attention to that...We don't get stares and I am assuming its because a lot of people think he is hispanic .....the only reason I thought of us as interracial is because when I get married Imma have an irish last name....and my first name is Melissa so when my name gets called out there gonna except an irish lady instead they are getting a dominican latina from NYC ...kinda ironic!!!

I am white and my fiance is Ecuadorian. We've been together almost 3 years and never had any problems. I've from south FL so it's pretty common to see that around here though.

ima white gurl and hes mexican eva since he got moved to a new yard we have neva had any probs there are 2 otha mexican guy/white gurl couples plus a numba of otha race mixes right there but on the first yard i started visitng on there were alotta side ways glances cuz we were like the only IRR Right there plus these two big white guys would always stare at me from behind my mans back and watch us and their gurls would always be B*tchy to me but i neva said anything to my man cuz i know he would have gotten in their faces and that was the last thing i wanted was for him to get in trouble so i neva said a word till he got moved.. but its all good now plus i forget sometimes that im not a mexican gurl (thats all i date and 99% of my friends are hispanic) so when people act like that toward us i'm always like What LOL

Im Mexican-American "Hispanic" and my Love one is American "White". I always say you can't help whom you fall in love with. As long as you are secure in your relationship. I know we are. It should not matter "if" other's approve or disaprove. One of my son's is married to a wonderful woman whom is mixed. African-American "Black" and Thai and my son is Mexican-American Hispanic.

my man is half mexican and half white... i am 100% latina.. :)

my BD is mexican, i'm white.. he used to think people gave us funny looks I just told him they were wondering why I was with such an ugly dude...lol Our son looks 100% mexican, he's very dark and has indian features, except hes six foot 3...lol We are both 5 foot 6, he gets his tallness from my dad. When we would go out as a family, with his other kids and our son, they would joke around that people would think that I was being carjacked by a bunch of mexicans..we had a lot of cultural differences but we were still family..
