What makes interracial relationships forbidden or different to those who are in one?

We all know people have a problem with it, as in the society, but I mean what makes it such a diverse feel between them.





Is it because they are of different ethnicity so it makes it new %26amp; forbidden feel instead of all the same with same!





Can any interracial relationship experienced( does not matter) person give me feedback on how it is or was?What makes interracial relationships forbidden or different to those who are in one?
Well I am by no means against interracial relationships. I was in one about a year ago for 8 months. But I will definitely say that interracial relationships make things a lot harder than other relationships. The main reason I think it is is that your culture says a lot about you. It creates your values, priorities, and overall perspective on life. These are very important aspects in a relationship and if they are always clashing with that of your partner, it can lead to a lot of problems. So interracial relationships are HARD, but not impossible.What makes interracial relationships forbidden or different to those who are in one?
An interracial marriage can be harder or easier than same-race, or exactly the same. It all depends on your perspective -- on the couple and whether they want to make a Big Deal out of it.





Any two people are going to have different life experiences. Granted, there may be more differences if there is a cultural/racial difference, but it really is perspective. Is the glass of life half full, half empty, or just the same glass everyone else has with basically the same stuff inside?





People outside the relationship may have opinions about it, true. But news-flash folks: people just tend to have opinions about stuff that's none of their business. He's too old, she's too tall, he's undereducated, she's from the wrong side of the tracks. Whatever. It's up to the couple to give those opinion exactly the attention they deserve (NONE!).





The people inside the relationship are the ones who count. They must face differences in experience, language and culture as the fabulous opportunity it is to learn about their partner. They do get a unique chance to bond when they each step outside their comfort zone to become part of the other's world. It doesn't have to be a Big Deal to be wonderful.





Bottom line, it's what you make of it -- just like any other relationship.
The media and society find it normal that a male and female of the same race are more compatible than those that are in a interracial relationship. I mean, think about it. In most movies (not all movies), you always see a white man falling in love with a white woman, or a black man hooking up with a black woman. When people of different races back then hooked up people got shoked, scared, or even laughed at them. However, I think that if the 2 people like eachother, then color shouldn't matter. That's especially the case in 2009. I see a lot more interracial relationships now.
Well i am african american and my backround is haitian. I was asked out by a puertorican guy. I tunred him down because i was fraid of what my parents would think and the comments other people would make. But its sucks because the guy loved me for me not because he thought i'de give him sex or anything. People get the wrong interritaitons. Like when an african american woman dates a white chinease or hispanic, people think the only wants sex. I'm for interracial couples i think its unique its a beautiful thing =). But at the end of the day your with the person you love and takes you as you are so the comments that are ringing in your ears will soon fade. And the person in your arms becomes your forever. Society has pure hate and jealousy and racism. when your dating someone it shouldn't be because of there race it should be because you are actually attracted to them. I would continue my opinion but it would be a whole chapter of writting.
It's just like any other relationship, I guess.


I'm mixed with black, white, and asian, so I've never favored any race/ thought one was more attractive than another.


I think people that don't believe/support interracial relationships are ignorant.





It's weird. like, it seems like no one has a problem with me dating a spanish guy or a black guy, but when I go out with like a white guy I get racial slurs thrown in my face.
I really don't think there much of a diffence besides the obviously physical ones. Im an African American girl and my boyfriend's Caucasian and for us it's just like any other relationship. Yes we get a lot of stares from ignorant people, who usually stare because they're trying to ';figure us out';. But either my boyfriend is completely oblivious or doesn't care because most of the time he doesn't even notice them.





Sometimes there are instances were our difference are painfully obvious, like the one time my boyfriend and I got caught in a rainstorm early in our relationship, and you know what they say about water and black girls hair. Needless to say, I looked like Diana Ross and my boyfriend was amazed and (to my chagrin) kept messing with my poodle like hair, saying it was ';the coolest thing he he had ever seen';.





But yeah, my relationship is pretty normal, our families are great and love us and most of our friends are pretty cool about our relationship.





We are each others first real relationship, and I didn't seek him out because of his race; he was a really nice guy that I ended up liking who happened to be white.





So yeah, that my little bit on my relationship :)
The onlys ones that don't like it now is al harton and jesse jack cause they will be out of a job soon.
