What would be the reaction of your immediate friends and family if you were to date interracially? Particularly with someone of a darker race, like SSA or South Indian or South East Asian or dark Amerindians, or those who're of lighter race, or Europeans, Levants and lighter middle easterners, North East Asians etc. What would be their reaction? Would you date interracially? Would you date someone of a darker race? Would you date someone of a lighter race?

I'll post some pics of people who're darker and lighter, and I'd like you to say if you'd date them or not. This is hypothetical btw (especially for those against race/ethnic mixing of any sort).

Darker people:



































Lighter:

My mother has said that if they had a daughter, MENA-men (at least the Muslim ones) wouldn't be ok. But that is not due to genetics, but rather the cultural factors. She has never said that it is wrong to mix with South Americans, for instance. In fact, when a friend of mother's said that her daughter had met a "dark" guy, mother said in a worrying manner: "Maybe he's from Chile? Or adopted?!"

My father has never said anything in particular. He only comments "What is there to do?" when mother rants about a daughter coming home with a Muslim.

[JanetMorris]

what, they would disown me if I dated Serb or Italian girl for instance, let alone interracial hahaha

[jakitula]

my parents would not allow my sister to have a muslim (not even a muslim swede), but that is not something we have to fear because my sister despise muslim/arab men. She talked to a yugoslavian guy once at a club, she found him nice but when he told her he was from Bosnia, she sent an sms to me. It was written "dear bro, are bosnians muslims?". I replied "yes, but secular most of them, why do you ask?"....and after that she moved away from the guy.

My family wouldn't care what race my gf was. My mom once said "date whoever you like, race is not an issue to me, and neither should it be an issue to you cause you're a mutt."

Your muscular dark body and your african traits must be a chickmagnet in Finland

[wheettebott]

It depends inter-racially or inter-ethnically. Inter-racially, like with a very black person, or vietnameese, it would be more question of surprise (or silly comments maybe from some cousins).
Ethnicity- hard to guess, my cousin just married a German man (she has lived live in Reich for 25 years though, nearly all her life) and noone in extented family expressed anything (at least to me). My father would love me to bring home some russian woman, as he is very oriented to the east, while my mother hates russians (even though mainly for political reasons) so its hard to predict or expect one reaction from all

Yeah, well, I gotta admit I do get plenty of attention from Finnish chicks, nothing wrong with that.

[gambleingsites]

I don't think my parents would have any objections to me dating inter-racially but I know some of my extended family would definitely make a big deal out of it. My family has a history of 'checking out' our bfs and gfs, they'll like evaluate them and then later gossip about it. At least my mom's family is very honest and would tell it to your face about what they think of your bf/gf. My dad's family on the other hand love gossiping about the bf/gfs behind your back

When my great granddad from my mom was still alive and I remember my one aunt started dating a Coloured that looked sort of more khoisanish, my great-grandad was real honest and said it to her face that he didn't like that she was messing around with 'die boesmanne' and when my dad and mom started dating he was also very honest to my mom lol and said well he is a bit dark but at least he has nice features and very nice hair. I think facial features and hair texture counted for a lot in his eyes.

But my dad's side all have this tendency where they will be nice to you but then later gossip and make fun of our bfs/gfs that have what they call 'inferior' features'. And that sort of fakeness really pisses me off about them.

[Opislossy]

I'ts more about religion and values. Both my parents are hardcore atheists.

[cheaploans]

I would get shit from friends for it, quite a few of my extended social network are EDL or BNP/National Front supporters or members so I don't think I would be able to maintain friendships with them concurrent with having a non-White girlfriend.

My grandparents would not be happy if I brought a darkie or a non-Christian over for dinner.

My mom would secretly dislike it I think, but she wouldn't voice any concerns for fear of upsetting me/the girl.

My dad would probably think it wasn't a good idea but I doubt he would be apoplectic or anything. Just to test his reaction I once said to my dad, "I've got a girlfriend now, she's Black" and he just looked at me and said something like, "Better than not having one at all I suppose".

I wouldn't date outside of Whites anyway.

That's your Indian side, right? I swear to god, the amount of gossiping that goes on among the Indian girls at my office, at each other's expense, make me want to staple their mouths shut. Many don't participate and are mainly "listeners" but the "talkers" never shut up. I have a "listener" in the next cubicle, but she is visited daily by a "talker". It would be easier to tune out if she wasn't speaking English.

[acissombiapse]

I don't have that much family. My mother has become anti-black and anti-Semitic over the years. I barely talk to her,but we're patching things up. She wants me to marry a white girl.

[Trercakaressy]

Yeah, well, I gotta admit I do get plenty of attention from Finnish chicks, nothing wrong with that.

By giving you "plenty of attention" do you mean the kind as in they are more suspicious that you might hurt them? Hmm.

Yes they are primarily Indian with SE Asian ancestry, some are more Indian culturally while most are Coloured culturally even though they look more like Indians. Yeah Indians over here too like gossiping, Coloureds too. It makes me real uncomfortable being around them cos I know they'll smile with me one moment but if I just turn my back they will find something to gossip about. My ex was a more traditional Coloured than myself so he looks more ambigous than me and my dad's Coloured family, he had sort of coarse hair and they would always make snide comments about it while he wasn't around. And what's worse is they gossip together, but then later will go home and gossip about each other, LOL

[GroosteFoessy]

my mum/dad dont mind at all i can date/marry whoever i want
my parents are liberal and not that religious anyway they say whoever makes you happy
but then again they are from Djibouti and people from there are not strict at all
my auntie (mums sister) even invited my sisters boyfriend ( white guy)to her house and we had diner together
this is very unheard of especially her somali neighbours were shocked

[BarBoss]

They wouldn't care. I could come home with a girl any race. I pay more attention to culture/values. Most people with values compatible to mine are Whites, but not necessarily.

[rhybrisee]

they wouldnt mind me dating other races but i think they wouldnt want me to procreate with someone that looks really different from me because they want thier grandchildren to resemble thier own kids

[MaugleeRobins]

My mom doesn't mind she herself is dating a very very dark guy, she thinks everyone is beautiful =).

I know my father wouldn't have wanted me to date a Black man though (not even mulatto), he would have preferred me dating someone who looks white/off white and preferably Christian/Catholic.

Same goes for my maternal grandmother.


In regards to their reaction, my mother's main concern would be how the guy is and how he treats me. My maternal grandmother's and father's would be livid and furious especially if I would get serious with him.

I have other friends whom family members are the same, it's so bad that they don't bring their black boyfriend into their home.

My mother has never brought her black boyfriend to my grandmother's house =) that's how serious they are about it. Though weirdly when it comes to friendships they're color blind =)

My grandmother has plenty of friends whom are Black (in all shades) and so did my father.

[triardwonvada]

They would disown me and kick me in the balls. However, only relationships with black people qualify as interracial for them and I have no intentions to ever date Black people. So not a problem, I've dated full Asians, Whites, Mestizas, Lebanese and they're all OK with them.
