I think it is an age and time thing.  Remember years before us, the people didn't like Indians marrying their white women.  Now no one cares if they have Indian in them or not.  I got Cherokee in me and am proud of it.  Course I'm blonde/blue eyed too so no one really sees that part of me.  As for the black and white dating, I think it is the same thing, people from in the 40's, 50's and 60's especially in the South, are so against it but you have to remember where they came from too.  Some had slaves way back.  It's a part of history we can not change.  But, we can go forward and make changes, which is happening, little by little.  Out west you see different races dating everywhere.  It's just a matter of time before it is not a big issue down south.  I do not have a problem with people dating different races, black, white, mexican, chinese, Indians, etc...It's what's in the heart/soul that counts anyway, not the color of your skin.  There are good and bad in all races not just a certain one.  You do have to give the black race credit, they have come a long long way in a short period of time.  Look at the Indians, they  are still poor poor people and many didn't go to school or finish school.  You don't see many in the American workforce do you?  We can't go back and change all the wrong things that happened to all the races and who caused what, but, we all can make a differnce now and love everyone as a person not a race.  Be proud of who you are, be proud of your race, but don't push it on anyone else.  Sorry this was so long.  BTW, I am a white 'older' generation speaking out (52 yrs old)  :)

Some people believe it is. \nPersonally, I don't see anything wrong with it. When it comes down to it, we're all part of the same species..

No, they are not more attracted (meaning, they always have been but wouldn't admit it), just more open to other options because it's more acceptable. I think that there has been a stigma attacched to inter-racial dating for many years, that has slowly subsided and it is now almost to the point where some might consider it "trendy" to be an interracial couple, in a way. That's not to say that the majority of serious inter-racial couples are just doing it to be cool or anything!!!\n\nP.S. I dig brown men.

Personally, I think you love who you love and if that makes it a bi-racial relationship then so be it! Unfortunately, ignorant people in this world don't like it. The thing is, there are alot of people who don't like to see people date out of their race. For instance, Oprah had this whole show on how black men don't like to see black women dating white men. But, black women say there aren't enough professional, elligible black men out there. As I said, I think you love who you love and that is life.

Not any more or less than interracial marriage has

In my humble opinion, in today's world just about everyone dates 'interracially' to one extent or another. Or maybe nobody does???  Follow me here...\n\n1500 years ago, the Englas and the Saxons were killing each other whenever they could in what is today Europe. The Englas would not bread with the Saxons because they didn’t want to 'water down' their bloodlines. Today, we do not call people Englas or Saxons, they are the Anglo-Saxons. Likewise, Scandinavians didn’t bread with the Celts and Italians wouldn’t bread with the Irish. Then why am I Italian, German, Irish and Hungarian? Because sometime ago, someone broke with tradition and mixed bloodlines. \n\nSo if I date a French or Spanish woman, then am I not mixing 'races'? So then what is the difference between me dating a Spaniard or an Asian or a Greek or an American Indian or a black woman? Skin pigmentation? A few minor differences in bone structure? Isn’t there a difference in bone structure and pigmentation between an Italian and a Irishman? I can answer that!  Yes there is! \n\nSo would you be "Interracially" dating? Yes! You would be. So what?!? \n\nThen again, regardless of the color of your skin or the structure of your cheekbones, we are ALL A PART of the humane race. So then, no! it's not interracial. \n\nI guess it all depends on how you see others. Me, I believe ALL people are a part of the humane race. So 'Interracial' dating would be impossible... Unless you are dating a guy from another species, and I sure hope that is NOT the case. lol.\n\nI hope this helps.

Speaking as a Black female I think there is a very strong double standard in our (African-American) culture.  Black men will date a white female in a New York minute, but cry foul the minute they see us with a white or any other man.  We tend to get hassled more by other Blacks for dating outside of our race.  Also, many (not all) white men are raised to appreciate a more Euro centric standard of beauty (blonde hair, blue eyes, big boobs, skinny body, small butt, etc); in spite of the "browning" of America this beauty standard still dominates.   Black females don't fit into that particular beauty standard so I think it's hard for some (again some not all!) white men to see our beauty.  I also think it's hard because of the painful past that Black women have with white men.  When white men do approach us, some of us tend to be suspicious of them.  This is just my opinion for why you don't see more  Black females with white males.  If you're really serious about interracial dating, there are websites that are dedicated to this.

Man... some of you people have real issues!  My wife is black and I see none of any of this crap some of the answers have been spewing!\n\nSome of you need to wake up, throw away those stereotypes and look at reality.\n\nWhere I live you see more and more BF/WM couples.  Like another answer said, this is the fastest growing IR relationship type.  \n\nWhen people start to realize people are people, regardless of race, then, this country can really start to do great things!

This question has nothing to do with interracial Relationships, because most relationships are interracial. When 2 "White" people get together they are considers the same race but, may come from different backgrounds. No one blinks a eye about that. \nWhen a black man dates a white woman people get up in arms. So many double standards!! It's really just sad. To say that races should mix. You can have black friends but don't have sex because, blah, blah, blah. \n2006 and it sounds like we are still in the 50's. I can't believe it. \nHere is a kick in the *** for you all? What about a gay "interracial" relationship. Two "wrongs" must make it right, huh? How about this question when are people going to stop pointing fingers and assume responsibility for their own actions and beliefs? \nOh' and when I see a mixed couple dating it WARMS MY HEART TO KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE COMING TOGETHER WITH DEEPER UNDERSTANDING THEN SKIN COLOR OR GENDER!!

First off, where do you live?  Are there many black women there?  The demographic of a region determines a lot about this situation.  \nFor example: In central Illinois, where I live, it isn't at all uncommon to see a white guy with a black woman.  IMHO, it is much more common to see a black man with a white woman.  \nFurthermore,  I am in a college town, which further skewers the demographic sample; younger people are (again, imho) more open-minded, particularly in college.  \nIn general, larger towns/cities offer more opportunities for different types of people to get together; therefore the likelihood of seeing an interracial couple is usually determined by the population and demographics of a particular region, rather than what society thinks of individual relationships.

Personally I think that it is fine. there is nothing wrong with either race. Society (including the government) is trying preserve racial purity, because if the races mix, it makes categorizing what race you are imposable. which is in my opinion a good thing, because that leads to racial equality.\n\nFYI I am white, and I married a black woman.

NO! I have been in an interracial relationship for several years and honestly do not even think about his race because I love him. This questions has been asked many many times and if you will notice, the only people that respond no to this question are white boys. Not all white guys feel this way, but the ones that respond no just feel threatened and I think that's really lame. I think you should love everyone and if you feel in your heart that a relationship is right, race should not matter.

why not?  skin colour is crap, anyway.  all humans came from africa!  the colour of one's skin is simply an adaptation to light levels that humans as a whole have evolved with.  any bastard who tries to make y'feel bad for "interracial" dating, just ignore them or throw a small dog at their heads.\n\nwith each passing generation, people become more tolerant.  look back at our culture.  there was some 60's song that went "jeremiah was a bullfrog, but he was still a good friend of mine".  (for all you younger people, "bullfrog" was another, Not so nice, way of saying "black".)  by today's standards, that sounds quite racist, but back then, it was progressive.  in another 8 generations or so, interracial dating won't be as big a deal in this country...  well...  at least between whites and blacks.  i hope for better, but human nature does suck, so i can't be too optomistic just yet!

I have a inter-racial marriage.... I've dated guys of several different races.... race is just the color of the skin for the most part... each person is different in many ways.... in which the color of their skin does not matter and does not change anything.... I'm white if you look at me... but, when you take history of mankind in to account.... we are all mixed...

I think it's natural we are attracted by people who are different from ourselves. \nYou're not a hypocrite!!! Not at all. Many of us find other races attractive but only some of us are ready to talk about it directly. Those who hide the truth are hypocrites. The problem is that former generations rarely allowed the couples to mix. I think it was the matter of identity and fear of being judged by other people.  \nFortunately, world has changed now and people have changed as well. We are used to a view of 'mixed pairs' and I love the view! I dream I will also be in such relationship someday...

people who think that there is something wrong w/ interracial dating are totally just silly. Judging anyone by the color of their skin is stupid, my little sister feels the same way. (in the little mermaid coloring book)Ariel was blue and the one guy.....Eric was pink. They ended up w/ a happily ever after.
