Is it normal to like out of my race?

For a long time now, i have liked people out of my race. But until this year i haven't got the confidence to date one. Well finally this boy i have been liking for like 2 years asks me out and now we're dating. But my friends and other people at my school thin that i am nasty for dating him. Why is that? i mean just because he is a different color than me shouldn't make a difference. Am i normal?

    who cares what others think. as long as you care for this person and they care about you it shouldn't matter. the colour of someone's skin doesn't define a person what defines them is what's in their heart.

    i remember when i was little, about 5 i think, we had friends who were dating: Adolph, white, and Tinesha, african-american. They were over at the house one time and they were kissing each other. I stepped in front of them and told them they couldn't kiss. They asked me why not. I replied back, "Because you can%%u2019t mix the crayons. Their babies will be gray!%%u201D Everyone was taken aback they had no idea where i had gotten this idea into my head. So my dad took me aside and told me, %%u201CAs long as you love the other person it doesn%%u2019t matter what colour they are.%%u201D And I asked, %%u201CEven if they%%u2019re purple?!%%u201D My dad laughed and said, %%u201CYes even if they%%u2019re purple.%%u201D As he set me down on the floor I then smiled and exclaimed, %%u201CYay! I%%u2019m going to marry someone purple when I grow up!%%u201D Later that day i had gone to Wal-Mart with Adoplh & Tinesha. There was a seven yr old boy there who was pointing at them because they were holding hands. His mother said nothing. After a minute of the boy pointing I decided to intervene. I walked up to him pushed his finger down and flat out told him, %%u201CDon%%u2019t point! Don%%u2019t you know you can mix the crayons? Didn%%u2019t your mother teach you that?%%u201D The boy was quite taken aback by a little girl telling him off. When Tinesha asked why i said that to him I replied back to her with a smil on my face and said, %%u201CEveryone should know that colours can be blended.%%u201D

    I'm half white and half Asian and I'm dating a black guy. It's the best relationship I've ever been in. I got a lot of trash at my school too, but mostly from the black girls(not being racist) they just don't like a white girl dating a black guy other than that everyone else didn't care.

    i've been dating a guy for 8 months and we're different races.. its no big deal.. Him and i aren't very race concsious at all, so until someone says something about it, we don't really remember about it.. race play no factor at all in our relationship. and it shouldn't be in yours either, no matter what anyone says.

    I think you should date whomever you want.

    It's strange because as children we are taught to like every color in the crayon box. to accept everyone for how they are and never judge them on their outside. but as we get older a lot of the people around us tend to build these social borders, that contradict everything we have been taught. don't forget that like so many others have.

    where ever you go, you will inevatibly meet people with small minds, who judge people by what they are, where they are, or materialistic things. don't sell yourself short, or compromise you integrity or sense of character. because if you let others shame you into over looking others for any reason, you may just miss out on someone who could turn out and be your bestfriend, or love of your life.

    I say more power to ya... I mean I haven't dated that much, but I think it's your choice and no one can tell you what to do or believe when it comes to your love-life.

    I'm going out with someone from a different race for the first time and this is the best relationship I have had ever. I'm glad that I went out with him because as well as it being a new experiance and something different I'm with someone who cares about me and thats all that matters. When I look at him I see him, not a colour.

    I never use to understnad what people see in other races till I went out with someone from another race. I realised that personality has a big impact. So if you find someone who treats you right, then whats stopping you from being with them. Part of the human race is to like and to be liked, your human, so your normal.

    you mean you like someone from another planet? The only people of a race other than Human are people not from Earth. Like who you want to like. Anyone who has an opinion about it is probably jealous of you anyway, and should mind their own business.

  • Why do you think there are mixed babies?
    Your school is freaking racist, don't be like them, be like us Canadians, D I V E R S I T Y !
    Just a curious question, where are you from? Usually different places with different communities have different views on two different coloured people dating.

    People are stupid. Bottom line. As long as you're comfortable with it, it is fine.

    Your friends are idiots. Date whoever the hell you want to date, life's about being happy, fuck everyone else! I dated a white girl for 3 years, and it was great while it lasted.

  • In society you are doing something almost taboo, but it is not right for your friends or other people to judge you for dating outside of your race. Tell them it is shame that they feel that way and that even if they don't know it in a way they are racist and no better then the people who used to support slavery before it was illegal.
