Interracial dating (2 Viewers)

[cstu]

Both my kids are Asian (different moms.) I've dated pretty much the whole Pacific rim and various Latina ladies from Central/South American. I think the last time I dated a basic was 25 years ago.

For some reason I had never been with an African American. Dated one in high school but I had no game then. Anyway, got that off my bucket list this year. Then I went back to dating mostly Asians.

wow, you went black and went back?

I actually find that to be the most difficult cultural divide. I can get along well with any Asian woman and her family, same thing with Latinas. But it's tough dating black woman IMO. But not in IME, I've never had a LTR with one - just seemed like too much in my mind (not the one on one stuff, I mean the family dynamics.) Still feels that way.

I wouldn't label it prejudice...it just seems like too much of a hassle. I would be totally down with dating a AA, but really wouldn't want to be in a LTR. I have active friendships with a couple mixed couples and I know people pull it off all the time, I just couldn't make the leap.

I prefer an actual African over an AA because of cultural reasons. Also prefer Indian/Asian culture over American culture.

Am attracted to darker women (married an Indian who is part African). Probably would never marry a white American woman.

Culture can be an issue. I never have gotten used to macaroni & cheese and Tyler Perry videos at holiday get togethers.

No, it's not the food (love it) or Tyler Perry (they suck but whatever), they are generally too ebullient for my taste.

Now if I could find an Obama-like black family that would be perfect.

is Puerto Rican and Caucasian considered interracial

Sure, just look at Marco Rubio.

 

[GregR]

Is it assumed that every poster posting in this thread is white?

Other than AZ Ron, Doctor Detroit, and the long-departed Carver?

Those guys posted in this thread?

Surely I can't be the only Asian on this forum.

The poll already has a few votes from other Asians.

i mean she's prI'm white

 

[tonydead]

I'm pretty sure she was at least part Hispanic because of the "Chola" tattoo on her neck.

 

[pats3in4]

Dated white exclusively through college, but mostly limited by opportunity (central MA). Moved to SF Bay Area which has the largest Asian population outside of Asia, met my Chinese ex wife (17yr relationship inc. dating). Since newly single, dates skew about 60/40 white/Asian+Pacific Islander. Current interest is Filipino.

Forgot to check Latino in pole for one girl I met during my 2yr stint in San Diego.

The smell of chitlins at my sisters for Thanksgiving is unbearable. I'm adventurous as it gets, but can't stand even having that stuff on the table, much less watching her husband and boys gobble it down like they've not eaten for days.

I'm ok with most offal but chitlins are disgusting

I've hooked up/dated short term Hispanic women.

But your poll is way to complicated to bother with.

Reading short sentences and clicking on ones that apply can be a pretty taxing experience.

Give me a break. The poll has over three dozen check boxes.

 

[Fariq]

Me: white

My wife: black from Trinidad & Tobago

 

[El Floppo]

Me: white

My wife: black from Trinidad & Tobago

T&T women.

 

[Brony]

We spend a lot of time judging others by race and weight. I feel like odor and height discrimination is not getting it's proper due.

 

[jon_mx]

Me: white

My wife: black from Trinidad & Tobago

Oh come on, she can't be from two places. Pick one!

 

[The General]

If you are hot you are hot. Equal opportunist here.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

Living in Los Angeles, it seems like there is every race, color and creed here., and because of the close proximity, many of them seem to adapt to the same cultural types of things, especially as you get second and even third generations of families. Many of the hispanic girls I have dated, who aren't first generation, dont even speak spanish. So while technically they are Latina, they arent a whole lot different personality-wise than white girls. I currently am engaged to a half-white/half-black girl who grew up in Orange County with her white mom. So while she is technically black, she pretty much is white on the inside.

Forget a poll on race, I want a poll on age. My first wife was my age and I didnt enjoy it as much. I am now dating a girl 17 years younger than me and its the best!!!

 

[Zow]

I made out with a black girl once. Had sex with a native american girl. That's about it I think.

For some reason I like em not like I like my coffee.

[Maurile Tremblay]

I went to my highschool prom with a black girl.

I dated (and lived with) a Latina woman for a while.

I once told an Asian woman that I'm not really into Asian women.

 

[rockaction]

I dated a woman that was part Cherokee once, if that counts. Very seriously, for about a year or two. But she was pretty much white. Blue eyes, the whole thing. But high cheekbones. Very high cheekbones.

I want to date another one. Her name is Betsy. She's from Oklahoma by way of Massachusetts. But I don't know how to get a hold of her. Anybody got any suggestions?

eta* I am serious about the first part, by the way. But I did not fill out the poll.

 

[Del Griffith]

Do hookers count?

I know where you're coming from, but might not 'Huxtable' be a better term? I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, but I'd describe every black woman I've dated would qualify as a Huxtable , and I don't think the Obamas have much in common with them at all, and not just because Daddy is POTUS.

Actually, she sort of is from both. Her mom is from Trinidad and her father is from Tobago.

It gets a lot tougher for them once they run out of fingers

 

[sbonomo]

Married to Latina (mom from mexico Latina) that does not cook (her mom is an amazing cook). Have dated everything from Thai, Japanese, black, etc. White women are boring generally speaking. Word love to date a Persian (Iranian) or armenia.

 

[Jazzman]

Have dated/hooked up with all except Jewish, East Indian, and Native American.

Prefer Latina to all others.

 

[Arizona Ron]

I'm the product of an interracial relationship - not sure how to vote.

I'm pretty sure it's interracial sex every time I have sex.

 

[EYLive]

 

[eoMMan]

My penis is black.

 

[Jazzman]

Question (based on my above answer) - is White + Jewish ethnicity interracial or not? I honestly don't know.

 

[belljr]

My wife said we are

MC Gassy Herpes ex Nintendo girlfriend would be shuked by this pole not having the six interracial hookups in one night option.

Even if it's sex with the product of another interracial relationship?

 

[msudaisy26]

I am white and never been with anyone other than white. I am not sure if I could love someone enough to do an inter racial marriage. They go through a lot of crap.

I wasn't speaking in terms of location. This is my own personal experience just watching what has happened to my husband's family.

 

[Steve Tasker]

I'm pretty sure she was at least part Hispanic because of the "Chola" tattoo on her neck.

The pencil-drawn eyebrows weren't a giveaway?

 

[Steve Tasker]

For the record, I like my women whiter than rice. Casper-pale and emaciated skinny, that's my bread and butter.

 

[The General]

My penis is black.

My want to get that checked out - by a doctor.

 

[mr fancypants]

Well this is a revelation. Here I thought that all FBG's were presumptuously conservative middle age white guys

whose main interest in life was their bank account and living the upper 1% lifestyle.

What happened? I think location likely does matter. Interracial relationships are close to the norm here in north NJ. Not saying there are never problems, but the worst that has happened to me was my first GFs father refusing to meet me. Not a huge issue. But i'm curious about your experience.

 

[jon_mx]

Stop using shoe polish for lubricant.

 

[General Tso]

Had a relationship with a black woman about 5 years ago. Still sorry this one didn't work out because we were very comfortable together. I was partying too much back them and she smartly decided to cut bait.

 

[Chadstroma]

Growing up most of my romantic interests were Latina. I have had various romantic interests with Black, middle eastern, Eastern European (FOB) and a few regular American white girls sprinkled in here and there. First and only Asian is now my wife.

I have never had any negative feedback or conflict or anything else bad from any of it.

Everyone has prejudices. You can not possibly not to it is part of human psychology. And yes, those include racial prejudices. A prejudice does not equate to racism. I think people are confused on this.

My husband's cousin is a white male, and he just recently married a black female. It has caused a lot of problems between his parents and the newly weds. His parents have accused her of being a bad person, and she has called them racists. Each couple have emailed or texted several other people in the family asking them to choose sides. My husband used to be very close with all of them, they were more like a second set of parents and a brother to him and for a while he would try to still see them, but it got to the point where we would go to dinner with one couple and they would constantly talk trash about the other, when our daughter turned 1 his cousin and wife wouldn't come to the party because the aunt and uncle were there. My husband really doesn't talk to either of them anymore.

I have to wonder if there are other issues at play with the race card being the easy thing to point the finger to.

I have been with my wife (asian while I am white) for a decade and never once have had any issue or problem ever experienced whether in public or private.

Yeah, I guess they do go through a lot if the couple's parents are racist.

But all of that other than "she has called them racists" happens all the time without race being a part of it. And that racist card gets played so way over much that when I hear it, I don't even hear it anymore.

So, what about the above, is actually due to the couple being interacial?
