Girl next door:Cigarettes And Suicide:If my daughter brought home a black man who had finished high school, had a job, didn't take drugs or use alcohol excessively, and treated her with the respect she deserved, then no, I would have no problem with her marrying someone like that.
However, if he was unemployed, living off welfare, used drugs or drank too much, gambled his money and ran with 'unsavoury' company, then yes, I don't care if he were black, white, purple or green, I'd lock her in her bedroom until she grew a brain. Her father, however... well, let's just say if you think I'm such a bigot, be glad you'll never hear his opinion on the issue.
everyone wants to do that to their daughter. but despite what you think there are some black people who are pefectly fine. my boyfriend is puerto rician and domician and hes fine. he listens to rap and rock and hes one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet in your life.
you're being really racist even if you dont mean to be, you are. you're making it sound like every black person is a drug addict, and one welfare, but some people arent.you cant judge someone from where they come from intill you actually get to know them.
Hold up, no she isn't. Cigarettes and Suicide said she wouldn't have a problem with a nice, respectable, educated, responsible black guy. She also said she'd take issue with her daughter bring home a drug-addicted unemployed white guy. That's not racist. All she's said is that where she lives, white guys tend to be the ones who have finished high school and have good jobs, and black guys tend to not. That's not really racism, it's statistics. |

Posts: 416 | September 3rd, 2007 at 11:07pm ^ i know that that's what she meant to said it for a white or black man. but she was implying a lot of it towards a black man. she said 'the black stereotype wouldn't exist if it wasn't true', which is true but still a little racist.and that's what i was actually talking about. she made that sound like all non whites are like that. and she also said that a white man wouldn't even look at a woman if she was with a black man, which may be true if they're snobby or raised to believe that, but not a whole lot of people are now.but you really need to get to know someone before you can judge them.
I'm all for it, nothings wrong with it, your kids are just gonna be mixed. |

Posts: 2748 | September 4th, 2007 at 01:10am ^Ah I see. Well, I won't presume to know Cigarettes and Suicide's exact opinion, but from what I've read I don't think she's really racist; she's just seen a lot of racial stereotypes come true. And that bit about white men not looking at women who slept with black men, that was just about her town, wasn't it?
*shrug* Anyway, I haven't got a problem with interracial couples. It's kind of a non-issue. I can't say I have much experience in it, but my cousin (Irish) married a woman from the Dominican Republic and they have two of the most gorgeous little girls you'll ever see.
It is kind of funny though, because they're being brought up bilingual, and my aunt is always trying to speak the little bits of Spanish she knows to them with her Kerry accent. xD |

Posts: 817 | September 4th, 2007 at 01:15am i don't know where y'all are from, but interracial relationships are more than a little frowned upon where i'm from... my parents actually told me that if i ever dated a black guy, they would disown me... so... i think that it sort of depends on your situation... |

Posts: 5369 | September 4th, 2007 at 11:45pm I personally have absolutely no problem with mixed-race relationships.
All of mine have been.
But, that doesn't mean I'm not attracted to males of my own race, I just get weird that we may be related, as most of the Chinese males I meet are family.
To me, what matters is if we have stuff in common. Because if he listens to rap or pop, is against alcohol and hates to party, I don't care what race he is, I wouldn't date him. |

Well, hey, call me a raving bigot, but I look at it this way: if black people committing crimes/doing drugs/collecting welfare etc etc etc (whatever else the 'black stereotype' is) were the minority, people wouldn't automatically assume that a random black person walking past them in the street is a gang member, drug dealer, criminal etc. It's like how nobody really just assumes that the white guy walking past them in the street has a pocketful of rock and a gun in the waistband of his jeans - these stereotypes exist, or don't exist, for a reason.
Call it racist if you will. I call it statistics. |

Posts: 817 | September 5th, 2007 at 06:13am good point... we kind of create our own stereotypes... take mine for example... i'm cajun... people love to make fun of us... most of us don't fit the traditional stereotype of sitting on the front porch shooting every little vermin that crosses the road and bringin it home to cook for supper whilst rowing a piroue and saying things like, "mais cher that don't make no good sense, no siree that sure don't." but what are you going to do about it? people believe what they want to believe... and as long as that still goes on, there will still be the stereotypes in every part of life, not just the races, and there will always be the stigmas attached to the social activities that mix the races... that's just how life goes... it can change eventually, but i don't see it changing anytime soon... |

It is not the majority! It's the majority of what you see on television or "that one guy my friend told me about". Look a the big picture. I don't know any African Americans on welfare and I live in a 80% African American neighborhood. African Americans are well capable of being middle class and above. It's not all "Good Times". I mean...leave the maybe...what 12? people in Australia with brown skin alone. Seriously where do you people live!? So I can make a note never to go there.
Drugs! People of all races use and sell drugs! People of all races are in gangs and steal. I mean I noticed certain races prefer certain drugs over others but pretty much everyone is using or selling. If I'm out at night by myself I'm going to just as terrified if I see a bunch of white guys hanging out as I would if they were black. Everyone is fucked up and capable of doing the most terrible things regardless of race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation. To single out a group of people is silly. |

Posts: 841 | September 11th, 2007 at 02:42pm It is not a problem for me. Negative stereotyping is just a normal human reaction to things foreign to them because it is said that humans can be naturally xenophobes but nevertheless, still wrong.
It is not really interracial but more of inter-religious marriage that i know of. My friend is 1/3 muslim, 1/3 christian and 1/3 buddhist. Her parents both love each other but are firm in their own beliefs |

ok your both right in one aspect or another.if you look at it, black people before about 1900 were considered just slaves, always looked down apon, and because of that, black people formed kinda of a intolerance towards the average white person. then when movies started to be made, most of the time the black or hispanic person was the crimanal. then more come into their stereotype like, "gangster", "convicts" etc. they were made out as bad people. are they? ussually no. so if on the news we see a crime and we see a black man responsible, most white people without relizing it willsay something, "well go figure." the schools with the worst raps have a very large black population ussually. but then agian white people aren't perfect |

If the relationship is good, the couple had jobs, were not doing drugs and all those shick, then, ok, it's good.
But if it heavily involved drugs and alcohol, I'm against it. |

I can understand people not finding other races attractive.
But if you do, and wish to have a relationship with one of them, then what's the problem?
I'm half cast myself, and if someone liked me but wouldn't date me because I'm half African... well, that's a ridiculous reason to not like someone.
