Does the world really care that i have a white girlfriend?

Hello, My name is not important or significant in this matter. Furthermore my name is not listed in my profile, for reasons that I will explain. I attend the university of Michigan and play football here as well, and there is an issue that I can’t seem to solve or answer for the life of me. I am only seeking advice, so if anyone has anything negative or weird to say I’d appreciate it if you didn't leave a comment. I am currently dating a girl who is Jewish, she's gorgeous; she has a perfect personality and is a wonderful person in my opinion. She even goes to the same college as me, which is wonderful. I am madly in love with her and she will be my wife one day. I have never cheated on her, and I don’t even look at other girls, and she is the same. I am an African American male, not just black, but Irish, Indian and Russian as well. People often tell me I look Arabic or Indian or something. Regardless I am still black. Her parents love me as a person and they have no problem with me being black. We are happy together and I’ve been dating her since I was a sophomore in high school. I believe I am inelegant, and decent looking, I speak intelligently and carry myself well. People never usually judge me from what I can tell, or wonder why I have a white girlfriend. But I think that people out there see this as strange. I think people are sometimes jealous or they are quick to judge me simply because I’m dating a white woman. Black women give me Sneed looks, and I feel this is taboo and weird. Maybe I’m overreacting but does the world/people really care that I have a white girlfriend? does it matter in the grand scheme of things, as long as were happy in the end right?

    hey mercedes thanks for the comment..I've had a complete change of heart since I've last toured this forum. With utter confidence and certainty I can say I no longer care. I can't go through life worrying about what people think. I appreciate everyones advice or lack thereof. However at this point I am content with my actions to keep actively dating the love of my life, for the last year we've been extremely happy. Your comments at this point are negligible, however I do appreciate them, and most were positive. I find them insightful and I would like to continue hearing from anyone who would like to share there opinion on the matter.Thanks for the support and help. I love this site!

    This is a great story and I can relate. My girlfriend is white Dutch and I am full Vietnamese. My girlfriend is intelligent, beautiful, and everything I ever wanted. Other asian females are always after me like, "what do you see in that white girl?" Or, "Why are you to shame your parents by being with her? Go with your own kind." Things like that. Or, they will even make comments in Vietnamese or talk about my girlfriend, thinking she doesn't understand. Luckily, my girlfriend is completely fluent in Vietnamese; so she not only understands what they are saying, she talks back to them-- which always shocks the hell out of them! At the same token, white men always ask her why she would want to be with an asian. Then they proceed on with the stereotypes about asian men; our penises, how we are controlling, abusive, workaholics, etc.

    Either way, I think this constant abuse by outsiders only brings us closer together. We are able to see and realize those traits that brought us together, and really revel in that. If anything, it has enhanced everything for us. Because we are both hard-headed, people trying to get us apart just makes us want to be together even more. Haha! It sounds like you and your girl have the same unconditional love and respect for each other.

    So, just hold your head high and let the outsiders keep guessing what your next move will be. While they are worrying about what you're doing, you keep living life to the fullest. They are the ones missing out.

    Personally, and most will tend to agree, it doesn't matter what race you or someone you love is. If you love them that's all that matters. Mazal tov and many children to you.

    Religiously, the Jewish aspect could be an issue as you might have to convert. The Jewish people tend to be very stubborn on that issue, although historically hit has served them well.

    Now, when it comes to genetics and eugenics it's a different matter entirely. From that point of view you should chose a partner that gives your offspring the best chance of survival. This means the smart, strong, and healthy breed with the smart, strong, and healthy. Though some usually take it further than that, saying that some races are inferior to others. While I disagree with this philosophy, it's worth stating that genetically each race is different and uniquely specialized to the environment they adapted to. An example would be that on average African races being better suited to running, and European races being better suited to swimming. This doesn't mean either races is superior, just different. With all this being said it's likely that from a purely pseudo-scientific standpoint such a union would be frowned upon. (Despite the fact pure-bloods are more susceptible to disease and genetic conditions than mutts). Sorry.

    Socially opinion may vary. It's pretty much been accepted for thousands of years that one should marry their own kind, except in the cases of alliances or business transactions in which marriage is the legal contract, but in modern society we're taught that race doesn't matter so much as character. Still, old habits die hard and people will still believe to keep it in the nation or clan. Again, sorry.

    One final point, a stereotype does exist concerning black Americans and white women... while regrettable that it exists, your relationship with this woman will be conforming to this stereotype. Again, I'm sorry.

    Still, regardless of what war-criminal doctors and white-robed republicans think, you both have the right to be happy, and you shouldn't give a damn what anyone else thinks about something that is none of their concern. Best of luck to you.

    Black women give all Black men snide looks. But dont let that be the reason why you date white women. Date them because they are hot, great in bed, better partners, and generally more kind.

    Good Luck!

    Dude, American Christian people have some problem with interracial dating. This is crude and stupid. You can date who ever the hell you want. It should not bother you. and if anybody has a problem with it, you give them a piece of your mind. Tell them to leave you alone and stop being racist. Nothing gets into Americans' heads than being called racist.... or communist for that matter.

      *Yawn* You just had to make it about being American. I think everyone who isn't American sucks for constantly complaining about Americans. How about them apples?

      I'm kidding, but seriously, stop whining.

      hey man everyones judgemental in there own right. i cannot stand watching gay guys kiss its gross. but thats not there problem its mine. and to be brutily honest because i believe im not racist one bit but seeing a blck dude an white chick is kinda awckard for me for some reason. i think it was after one of my friends joking showed me an adult film showing this that it made me feel a little weird. but i truly dont know why i feel like that. maybe its cuz im white. but look just just cuz my retarded ass cant cope with it doesnt mean you shouldnt be happy. i wouldnt ever do anything to stop or offend anyone in doin what made them happy. to eachs own. so do your thing and fuck what everyone thinks man. just do what you gotta do for you an yours you know? i hope i didnt come off mean or offensive and i apologize if sharing my thoughts has been either an any way. ill try an keep a more open mind. stay positive.

    I too, sir, am a bona fide Halfrican%%u2122. And while I have always pleaded objectivity, one might notice that I have a seemingly biased attraction towards white women, given my history. Some say it's because I have a white mother. Some say it's because I grew up in a predominately white environment. Some say it's simply the allure of the pink/medium-brown colored nipple (this is my favorite theory, for the record). But it does not matter why. And the world does not care. Somemight - but the world has other silly things to concern itself with. That fact doesn't matter either, though. What matters is if YOU care if you have white girlfriend. And by the looks of it, you're quite content -- as I am.

    An important skill in life - which many lack - is how to appropriately choose your battles. And this, friend, is not your fight. This one belongs to everyone else who hasn't figured out that race is only an issue if you want it to be, and until then, it doesn't matter. This fight belongs to those who can't get over their own hang-ups. predispositions, personal insecurities and cross values. It's for those who can't yet appreciate that the world is colliding together everywhere whether they approve of it or not.

    Your responsibility is to be happy. It's to let yourself be happy with your lady and leave all others who object to your choice and your life to their own tiny, opinionated little world -- the ONLY place where how THEY feel matters.

    So let them sneer. Let them gossip. Let them curse and condemn you. Let them burn their energy and their life on hatred and contempt. It is not your problem, friend. It is theirs and theirs alone.

    I wish you well. Be happy. And know that the only feelings that matter now is the love you two share for one another. That is, unless you'd like to waste your time trying to please your critics. Good luck, boss.

      I see your profile picture, i can see you are lighter complexion fello from royal oak MI..i actually live some what close there,regardless...I'm curious have you only dated white women or have you dated black women as well?..i can imagine that black women give you alot of attention,african american ladies seem to like decent looking lighter complexion fellos, I receive a decent amount myself. I'm not saying I dis like black women, there are some pretty black women in the world but clearly i'm attracted to white women. Sorry to ramble on the question was just, do you date black women and have you ever experienced them?..I seriously have no idea what thats even like, so i guess i'm just curious

    I think this is beautiful and awesome. Your story made me smile! In answer to your question, yes, people have a problem with it. But those people are ignorant fools and their opinion should mean nothing to you. Let them go ahead and waste their time worrying about you. It's not your problem! You are happy and secure in your relationship and if they really have a problem with that, it just means they must be unhappy. Wish them well, and that one day they might be able to find the peace and love that you have found.

      Jen you've helped me out a ton and you don't even realize it, thanks.

  • While reading this i wondered "what is the problem?" At he end you said it: race.

    Well, also you said in your own background: Irish, Indian, Russion etc.. No one can stick a label on you.

    Back to the ugly old race card. Sort of. Even if anyone could, you love her like crazy, as madly as she does you. And your families do too.

    Listen chum, not only do you have it ALL going for the both of you, you can also keep turning those racial nitwits heads spinning. Let them spin till they totaly unscrew & fall off.

    They are boobs. And you are changing the world & its perception of it for the better, while finding love in it.

    You've got it all happening while making it all hapen, and I wish the both of you well.
