i think i read an earlier post but I wanted to get some more feedback on this....I am half black/asian and my boo is mexican. When people ask about him I always say what his race is when they ask cuz I am not ashamed. It just gets on my nerves when people make stupid ignorant comments about interracial relationships. I believe love is color blind and I am very happy....what about you guys...

I am white and my guy is Puerto Rican I don't see what that has to do with us being inlove.

Well I am White/Mexican and my man is Black. I used to get crap all the time from people ranging from my family to strangers. People can be really stupid and ignorant sometimes. But now it is so common, where I live anyway, I dont think people really pay attention anymore.

Love got nothing to do with race although my man and I come from the same people. But I strongly object to women and men having a colored boy/girlfriend just a trofee because that most certainly happens but real love,lets go for etnhic chaos :D

I am white and my boyfriend is black. I use to have "issues" with my parents, ok well I guess that my mother still has "issues" my father loves my boyfriend to death. I always hear that I could do better, well I then I had to say that so could he. I do not look at color. I only go by what my heart and soul feels and how happy this man makes me.

I am white and my husband is black. Both of our families are behind us 100%. The only person we have had a problem with is one black guard, who came in the visiting room and told us that we couldnt hold hands, when it very plainly states in the rules that we CAN hold hands, we didnt argue, we wont let nyone or anything ruin a visit, they are too special.

I am Native American and he's White. There have never been any problems with that from either family.

My immediate family is very accepting but not the others...They even talk about me becuz I am biracial.

I am peurto rican and he is black. My mom at first was not too happy about me dating outside my race, but she is ok with it now. His family accepts me fine. I guess the only problem I have is outside of our families, like my last job they we're racist there, thinkin people shouldn't date outside their race. I really don't care what anybody thinks because love has no color and I love my boo with all my heart.

No I have no problems, I think whatever makes you happy is fine with me!

The only thing that should be separated by colors is the wash. Laundry is the only place it should happen-bottom line! :) I have been in many interracial relationships and currently am in one.

Sometime ago I was fired from a job after my boss had met my boyfriend at the time. (btw-we are not the same race) Of course they didn't come right out and tell me that but it was most apparent. The day before I was fired ~ my boyfriend and I where out shopping when we ran into my boss and his family, so we introduced our families, and the next day I was fired. He said "This has nothing to do with you skills and I would give you positive feedback if you applied for another job in this field. I just can't approve of your lifestyle." And I was thinking NO one asked you to cuz it's really not his business. What decade is it again? It was frustrating but in the end it all worked out. I guess ignorance is bliss for some people ~ not me though!

I got rude looks and remarks when I was with my lil gilrs dad. He was mexican and I'm white. My daughter is half white half mexican. I really hope she doesn't get any S***. She's my baby and I'd be so upset!

Sorry I forgot to put.... I didn't get that all the time. I Had people that acted as If it were natural but you do get bad seeds sometimes!

I bet spyda does her wash like my 15 yr old daughter, pinks, whites, navy, black, reds and "the rest" lol.

How did you know that Holley? LOL :) Of course that is how I do the wash!?! Haha!?!

I was wondering if someone could shed some light on this subject. My son is in prison and is white. His beautiful wife is black and their darling little girl is a wonderful combination of the both of them. He has heard that there could be some "backlash" from other inmates if his black wife visits. Do you know if this is true? Is there alot of prejudice amongst the inmates and/or guards? This would be a shame, as they are very much in love and he is looking at a long sentence.

I am Asian and my fiance is half White/Cherokee and yeah love is blind but its has its own way of finding itself into our heart :) So ass long as we are happy, that all that matters.. If others ain't happen, ask them to take the pill and sit still

CHEERS!!

We have never had problems in our relationship due to race.
But my youngest son is having an issue at school. He is black, puerto rican, and white. The "research testing" they do in schools had eliminated the mixed race code. We were sent a letter and asked to pick another code or he would automatically be assigned a black/non-hispanic code. Well needless to say that code and all of the others do not apply to him. I wrote an angry letter to the school board and told them I would not pick a new code, do not assign him a new code, and I do no want him taking these tests. He came home from school the next day and told me the local news had been in his classroom, so I watched that night. Come to find out I am not the only parent that felt this way and they are now saying they hope to add the multi-racial code back to the choices. I mean they do these stupid tests for research, how can it be accurate without the proper info on each student?? More importantly why does race need to be included in their "research"? Sorry, for going off, this just bugs me!!

We've had crap about our relationship.. I'm black he's white.
this is what we get
older people: racism.
white males: don't care
black females: don't care
white females: lamely try hitting on him when I'm not around and going out of their way to be spiteful to me.
black males: very jealous and offended they try to hit on me and disrepect hiim.
I don't reaLLy care, what people think.. He's all mine.. I'm all his there's no room 4 u..

:D

Well I am West Indian (from Trinidad) and my husband is white. Our daughter is as white as her daddy. As most ppl know when babies are born they go to the dr for their 2wks chk-up. I was in the waiting room breast feeding my daughter and this white lady walked up to me and asked if she was my daughter. So i told her the only thing i could think to tell her ignorant ass. That I just found her in the waiting room and she looked hungry. She told me that I was rude and walked off. So i get stares and comments but I always tell my daughter she is the most beautiful angel. My brother is brown like me (west indian) and his wife is from El Salvador so she is very light complected. Their daughter is her color so ppl ask him stupid question and his mouth is .as hot as mines. So everyone who is brave enough regrets saying something in the end.

spyda-that is a horrible thing, i am shocked your boss admitted that...for what he did is illegal, and i hate when racism is cloaked with "politeness," ie: it's not you i just don't approve of your lifestyle...oh-my-goodness that is really bothersome...it is such ignorance that helps keep more black men behind bars, then in universities, that keeps money going to the "good neighborhood," schools, while the inner city kids can't even bring text books home...how are they supposed to study, how are they going to know that they are important too...oooh, i could go on, because especially for the children...it breaks my heart...

i liked you laundry analogy, im a harsh segregationist when it comes to washing my clothes and linens=}

best and peace-francis

mrswalker ~ you have a beautiful family! :)

francis ~ I can't stand ignornace! You're right-it is such ignorance that helps keep more black men behind bars, then in universities . . . but there is nothing we can do about it. We will always have ignorant people, it takes all kinds I guess. Isn't that sad? Drives me crazy!?! :)

Thank you spyda. :D

Lesseeee...I'm part Hawaiian, Chinese, Canadian English and some Maori. My guy is half Italian, half German. Nope...I've never had to deal with prejudice concerning my relationship with him. Besides, I come from a family that reads like the United Nations. In my generation alone we have relatives from the following races: Caucasian, African American, Native American, Chinese, Italian, French, New Zealander, Samoan, Irish, Japanese, Brooklynese (yep, a different country there...)

Besides, I hate stereotyping of ANY sort, whether it's showing prejudice against another person's race, gender, sexual orientation, age.

i´m samoan-hawaiian and ma baby is samoan, nones giving us **** bout nuttin and if anybody would i´d tell da dude ta go **** himself. i luv ma man 4eva and he luvs me 4eva. EDDIE AND ANGEL 4EVA:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

yeah i get tired of hearing crap b/c my boyfriend is mexican and im white it makes me mad when pple think that u cant love outside your "color"!!!

Welcome to the 21st century. Yes, interracial relationships are still frowned on by some poeple, but look at how far we've came. At least they're legal now, and so many of our children are showing their grandparents that race is often just a skin color.
I get more crap that my husband is in prison that the darkness of his skin. The prejudice we get at the prison is more of the way I look than the way he looks.
But I come from a very mixed family like MsAloha. I really don't care what others outside my family think.

I am Italian and my man is Black... Do we get alot of crap for being together? Sometimes, we are both attractive people, and so alot of people hate on us... and because we are different races, they use that as a reason to hate on our relationship. To be honest, I get more shit from black woman than anything, he says he gets alot of shit for being with me, I think he hears it more that I do... the people I tend to surround myself with are not at all in anyway caught up on color, nor is my family. But his sisters were in the beggining and other people he was around... but now that his sisters know me, they tell me they only want him with me.. no1 else. The world is slowly progressing... my hope is by the time my kids (which I do not have yet) are teenagers... rasicm will be a thing of the past... Me and my boyfriend always say eventually there will be no colors because everyone will keep race mixing and having bi racial babies... and eventually... EVERY1 will be biracial! That will be nice!!! No more hate because of skin!

I haven't had anything said, but inside he's heard a lot of crap for it. I'm white and he's black and I can't tell you the number of guys who have said, "You married a white girl? Don't you know they're just to f*&k?" For real- he's heard that often!

haha...i think he gets crap because i'm another race. :(

unfortunately, i've heard the same thing from chris. he said that we may have a few issues because he's white/puerto rican and i'm black. he says that the issues will probably come from the inmates moreso than the officers. :(

I think it varies a lot by where the prison is. T said the prisons in northern CA were very racist and so was the town. But E has never really talked about racism much in stateville in Joliet IL. Most of the inmates are black and very few white or Hispanic. I would say more than half the staff there are black or Hispanic. The inmates are integrated by race in stateville. T told me that living in dorms in High Desert was awful because there were tensions between many different Mexican groups as well as whites and blacks. He said they had to take turns staying up at night so they didn't get stabbed while they slept. I don't think E has gotten any crap because of my race.

I am asian and my husband is black, yes we get alot of rude and ignorant comments from friends, strangers and sometimes family. Not to mention size wise i am very petite and my hubby is buff and big for my size, we leave the rest to their imagination but even my father said the first time he saw my hubby "my poor daughter, your man is so big"

When he got in the Philippines they're all expecting somebody white when they heard i am marrying a foreigner, you can hear the disappointment in their voice when they first saw him because they think americans are only white and beauty is always defined as the "fairest of them all". That's really sad.

marj in the days before c sections size difference was definitely a concern! They didn't want their daughter dying in child birth.

Oh really? I know american babies are really big and me being 4'11" is pretty petite so i can understand child birth can really be a concern but sometimes people look at me and him and they think of all the kinky stuff we are having in bed and they have this look that says "its either she is a very strong woman to afford him or he is a perv"

I agree, love is color blind: i'm puerto rican and my fiance is black i love him; he treats me the way i want to be treated. he cares about me and everything that concerns me, he knows me and he knows me because he loves me what more can a woman ask for besides sincere love and dedication

Hey Im half filipino too!

hi babieboo! That's great, my parents are both filipino but i have spanish roots in my father side. my husband is half filipino/portuguese/afro-american. Why aren't you posting any pic?

i am asian, husband is puerto rican. we get a lot of looks but nobody really disrespects us to our face at least! but a lot of the spanish girls always look at him and look at me, everyone has to do a double take.

My Mom is half spanish/filipino. She looks more spanish than asian. Its so funny becuz alot of people will walk up to her and start speaking spanish. All she does is stand there with this confused look on her face.

Oh I have some pics posted in the pto lounge and some in the wedding/marriage forum.

i've had white females hit on him or give us dirty stares and black males tell me i'm racist..against my own race. i'm getting to the point i just smile and agree with them.
