I'm all for interracial dating. My boyfriend of five years is Chinese and Indian. I'm black. In fact, you can see a picture of us on my myspace.com/GoGatsuGirl. ^_^ I have a soft spot for Asian guys, I guess.

In the end in any relationship there will be obstacles, compromises, adjustments to be made, conflicts and a lot of learning to do on both sides. So personally, I don't care what skin tone or eye colour or how much hair on his arms my loved one would have as long as our basic values and perspectives on life are compatible. There are more important things to a person.

And as far as "purity" goes, what the heck is that anyway? Who can absolutely and certainly say that they are 100% "pure" in their descent on all accounts? Single-cell organisms maybe.
Take me for example. If you take the label "white" you could fit me into that because I look pale on my good days and like a piece of chalk when I'm sleep-deprived. However, if I look at my ethnicity... In my passport it's written as Latvian, but my country has been conquered and invaded by different powers so many times that it's doubtfull there still are 100% "pure" Latvians to be found. Russian, Polish, German, Swedish as well as our neighbouring Estonian and Lithuanian - those are all ethnicities likely to be found mixed in. I for one know that I have some Swedish ancestry from my mother's side and probably Slavic from my father's. Furthermore I doubt that culturally I'd have that much more in common with a "white" American than a "black" American even though we both count as "white".

I've also noticed that when people mention "race" the thing that's actually talked about is ethnicity or nationality (Chinese, Korean, French, Filipino, Irish, American, African etc.). As those smart scientists so nicely clarified, the differences between "races" genetically are even smaller than the difference between individuals within a "racial" group. "Race" is simply a socio-cultural label, a cluster of stereotypes to make life easier for the less discerning mind.

I've been on the soap box long enough. If anyone even bothers to read my babble, I salute you. salut

I would date anyone of any race if I loved them and they respected and loved me. That is all that is required IMO. I am in an interracial relationship and I don't have any problems with anyone else being in one.

Me (I'm mixed) and my friend (Who is of Mexican ethnicity) just recently had an arguement about this. I'm obviously all for it! There's no such thing as purity when it comes to race these days. I'll use Mexicans for my example, as many Mexicans I know like to date other Mexicans for cultural reasons, Mexicans alone are not pure, they are a mix between the people from Spain, and the Native Americans from Mexico. Just like many other races... People can preserve culture either way, it's a choice.

Wow I was reading through this blog and
What KniteMare said really threw me off.
That was uncalled for and kinda rude.
Why would someone say that.
That's a very ignorant comment.
Me, I'm Half Black and Half Filipino. In my opinion I'm a pretty decent looking person. I believe there is no such thing as an ugly combination or an ugly race. Actually nobody is really ugly, If you think someone's not cute that just means they're not your type. Because what may be ugly to you may be beautiful to someone else. I see people with the black and asian mix eveyday. I dont know if it's because of where I live but alot of them are gorgeous. A week ago I met a guy who was Black&Japanese. He was really cute...He was tall, Had those lovely asian eyes, And the the adorablest smile. And just because you met a few you already develop a bias statement. I'm not saying you're a bad person or anything Because I dont know you, but i just got a little offended from what you said.

But back to the topic. Heeey I'm a Black and Filipino girl Living in a majority mexican neighborhood, My 2 best friends are samoan and the other mexican with a little filipino [or so he says], I watch japanese dramas and love korean music, and my mom's boyfriend who lives with us is European a.k.a Slovakian. Interracial things happen around me everywhere so i'm down with the interracial thing. I love seeing culture and races mix.

hrm, we all have our preferences yes?

i'm sure some of you would like to only date japanese dudes--esp if they were as hot as those idols yeah?

Anyways, what i really mean to say is...
Date who you want to date. If you want to be only date 'within your race' then any person of a different color that likes you should know better. If you don't care the color of any date/relationship, then kudos to you.

Let's mix 'em all up! Goooo diversity!

And pinay power!
