To Jennifer:

You said all Indians smell bad. You are hypocrite. I have seen all races smell bad and good. I had a white roommate attracted cockroaches in her room because she kept food on the carpet. For your information, if you are close to an Indian house it smells because the food is being cooked. If you typed this because you are in bad mood and I was in front of you. I would probably something have to get you food from grocery store or restaurant or if it is just your view you will see my dark side. By the way how would you feel if someone said all whites are selfish parents who divorce for no reason.

To Amy and Kim:

You two said Mexicans are undatable. I have met decent Mexicans who care about their families. I was in love with a Mexican girl. It hurts. This is why think this kind of speech should have severe monetary consequences because lot of bad things happen if your children grows up and says it in school. There are people that are dangerous.

While it is true that inter-racial couples may recieve more social stigmatization, even from their in-laws, it's worth it for me.

I'm a white girl who likes… pretty much any ethnicity. Although I do prefer Asian guys. Probably because I grew up around Asians and had mostly Asian friends. White boys were always so mean to me… and I know you can't generalize a whole group based on a few bad experiences, but it's just the way the human mind works. It likes to categorize and stereotype. Plus, I think taking a bad experience and avoiding it in the future is a evolutionary trait from our hunter-gatherer ancestors to prevent them from harm.

I will date white guys though! And I don't hate white people. I love my family. I love my white friends… yeah.

I realize though that some cultures just want to preserve their heritage and only date their own ethnic group. Although I don't agree with it, I believe it's just enforcing divisions between people and promoting ethnocentricism, I respect their decision and wish them happiness.

Again, I understand preferences in what you think is attractive. Heck I have my own biases. Dang it Alicia I was really hoping that you'd find black/asians attractive….I guess I need to move onto plan B lol.

Beauty and race are subjective. And I hope I didn't come off as conceited/arrogant haha. I mean I'm proud of my mixture, and I'm the offspring of a successful intercultural marriage.

(and they're still going strong <3)

But really people are people. When you get past the skin color, and looks–we're really all the same.

Everyone wants to be loved, no one wants to fail, and we each have our own personal lenses influenced by culture/race/gender/politics/region, (oh and we're made up of genes-hehe yay science nerds).

Remember looks fade. People remember you for the way you treat others, and who you are as a person.

To all the people who felt the need to state their highly skewed and rude opinions:

Wow, I honestly find it incredible that you think like that. While I am very accepting of other people's opinions, I will never find even a shred of truth in the hateful statements you all made. Believe it or not, a person's worth and etc. is NOT based entirely on his or her looks. I know, crazy?!? Without all the different races and cultures in this world, life would be BORING. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having personal preferences. I happen to be mainly attracted to Caucasian guys, big deal. However, to blatantly degrade other races and say that they're the lowest level of human beings is completely ignorant, vapid, and idiotic. Racism possesses zero beneficial attributes.

Who really gives a damn about a persons’ mix? Ugly is ugly regardless of the genetic make-up.
First and foremost I think this issue applies more to those with differing cultures that are highly represented at home. If you look at North American culture what honestly ties us all together? Uh.. Sex…Fashion…Drugs…Drinking…Uh….Being oh so “un-called” for. Now this differs for other families when their culture varies from main stream society – and by main stream i mean whatever the T.V says is the bomb this very moment.
I’m mixed. I grew up in a home that was a mixture of my eager wants to be Americanized and my father and mothers deep cultural roots. I find that my morals, ethics and ties to friends and family were affected by being the best of both worlds however, for friends who grew up homes where they were raised by parents whom had stronger representation of their cultures have varying and even contrasting views(which wouldn’t be surprising.)
I’m German and Jamaican.. I’ve dated mostly white, Christian men. Why? It’s what was around.

“Mexicans are to never be dated by girls. You see those repulsive filthy scum mexicans who gang raped that girl in CA?????? Totally sickening. Those fucking mexicans. They need to be sent to jail for life of given the death penalty.”
Many girls have been gang raped before..and by other ethnicities as well. But that’s just too mind blowing and far fetched for you to believe now isn’t it.

I am currently dating a guy from a white southern baptist background, both of his parents second marriage, and a bunch of half brothers and sisters. I am a catholic Philippine girl (who's actually only every been interested in white guys), who's parents emigrated here just before i was born. 2 sisters, big extended family near by. My parents already know that i will not marry a Philippine boy, or an asian boy, because i have no attraction to them. We obviously have a lot of cultural differences. Do i care really? Not at all. its an experience just to see how different and the same our families are. Sure he has trouble remembering my second cousin's wife's name. But its no problem for us at all.

The only issue i have to think about. Is if we get married, where will we get married, in a church? outside of a church? And when we have kids, will they be catholic? will they be protestant christian? Also my boyfriend isn't very religious, he has done his research and doesn't believe anymore. He believes in science. We both grew up going to church every Sunday with our families, will he sacrifice his beliefs and help raise his children the same way we had been raised? or will i be going alone without my husband?

These are the only questions i have about the future of our relationship. Culture is not a big issue.
