Is it possible to date interracially and still be racist?

Yes, it's possible. I'm married to a black woman and I get tired of white women rolling their eyes at her and I. I can't stand white women sometimes, but I'm not sure if that makes me a racist.

Take race out of the picture.  If you like him go out with him.  If you don't like him then don't and tell him you want to remain friends and not jeopardize the friendship by dating.  As for guys who won't date you because you dated outside your race, well, they are small minded and not worth dating to begin with.

So you would date a black man just because he's a black man? Not to say there is anything wrong with dating a black man just saying if his skin is the only reason than its a very sad one.

i have racist parents, and i waited to date outside my "race" until i got out of the house. if i had "fallen for" someone they wouldn't have approved of before that, i think i just would have dated the person without them knowing. (and i would tell the guy that your parents have issues, so he knows why you're not taking him home to dinner first thing.)\n\nafter you've dated for a little while, and if you really think it's "serious," then you can introduce him to your parents, after you make it clear that you waited to tell them because of their racist attitudes, and are only telling them because it's more than just a crush. prepare for a big argument. tell them first, BTW, so they don't make asses of themselves. surprise is not a good idea here. \n\n(and sorry you have to deal with such silliness. at least i hope it's just silliness.)

I say abso-friggin-lutely.  I will encourage an interracial couple every chance I get because they need it more than any other couple -- at least that's the case here in the southern United States.  I say if the person you love is not the same color, screw anybody who doesn't like it.  It's your life and you can live it the way you want.

Question back: Why would you be afraid of dating someone who is different racially? If it's anything to do with family and 'values' let me assure you that eventually, whomever you choose to marry is your own family and you'll have to cut the strings sooner or later. I've personally never dated a guy of the same racial background as I am because I find it overly boring...difference is sexy! There's always something new to learn and explore.

Yes, I actually would. You said that whites should date whites, you didn't say that white was just your preference. If you have to ask if that's racist, then you should already know the answer.

Love finds itself in strange and unusual ways for many. Interracial dating is fine for me, but it depends on the relationship. Some people are against it, others aren't. It depends on the relationship.

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.

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...

evryone discriminates in some form.But if your having a problem with someone of a different race, then try to understand that race. Or better yet learn the culture. Im Italian, Ive lived in the bronx all my life. Growing up I only hung out with Italians(or Whites). My high School was a Majority Black And Hispanic. I didnt care much for them. But once i got out of school and in to the real world (work). I started to interact with different people on a friendly basis. I opened up and realized things that i thought in the past were so wrong. Ive dated all types of girls and today im UNhappily married to a Filipina. But she gave me the best little girl in the world. So i cant complain. But anyway, just open up to someone and ask questions. Find out what kind of life they lead and you'll see so many similarities.

When you discover the answer to this question, let me know..lol I don't know what the attraction is, but you're right, you do see more black and __________ (fill in the blank with any nationality) than you ever have. Maybe because racial boundaries are becoming a little less stringent and people are acutally becoming more socially tolerant to mixed relationships. I personally have never dated outside of my own race, but feel that if you want that option you should not be judged for it. I mean. you can't really help WHO you fall in love with. Peace.

IT is almost 2006 . Inter-racial dating shouldn't be an issue anymore. Love has no color- Peolpe should do what makes them comfortable and happy and if it with someone outside your race than so be it.

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.

I have been in an interracial relationship the last 3 years of my life and it has been hard, but rewarding. He is the love of my life. However, if you regret getting into an interracial relationship, you probably never should have started one in the first place. You have to be strong and you know what you're getting into before it even becomes a relationship, right? You should never regret anything in your life. If you regret getting into an interracial relationship, the only person you have to blame is yourself. Sorry that sounds so harsh, but it's true.
