You're not racist but inter-racial couples kinda weird you out, amirite?

No, I'm not racist, and there is nothing about inter-racial couples that weird me out. If it weirds you out, then you're at least a little bit racist.

it's one thing to think mixed couples shouldn't be together and another thing entirely to acknowledge that it is unusual

by Anonymous 13 years ago

How is it unusual? Also, unusual and weird are not the same thing. Weird has a negative connotation.

That's actually still a lot of people... I don't find it unusual at all. I really don't find it weird.

I'm not offended by the word, but it does have a negative connotation.

I don't find it weird in anyway. Does really matter what colour someone is anyway anymore? Not in my life anyway.

Wow, thanks. Did you know that you're probably not completely white or Asian or whatever race you are either? One of your ancestors was probably in an inter-racial relationship.

(different anonymous): How far back are we talking? Tens of thousands of years ago? Thousands? Definitely not hundreds. With no transportation I highly doubt some races would be mixed together. Some could, but others like African and Native American would just be impossible

My ancestors were African and Native American.

How far back? Anyway he was talking about white people who think they are pure white, asians who are pure asian, or blacks who are pure black. If you know that your African and Native American its different, because you would be able to tell. I think they were saying that you wouldn't be able to tell if you are pure white, because thousands of years ago your ancestors would have had interacial couples

I'm in an interracial relationship and the cultural differences make for some funny confusions.

Very true. I am as well. My boyfriend and I now count how many weird stares we get each day. He's East Indian, I'm white, and us dating goes against a lot his family stands for.

I'm a white girl dating a Hispanic boy. Does your family speak Spanish at home? My boyfriends does, and he always laughs when I try to understand / speak it.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Haha, my girlfriend is majoring in Spanish so i guess that makes things easier. She understands everything my parents say to her.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah, I failed out of Spanish in middle school. Guess that makes a big difference :P

Not really. It's nice, but it's not necessary. Good luck with your relationship :)

This makes me wonder where you live, because I know a bunch of interracial couples. It's quite common.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Pro-tip: If you have to start a sentence by saying "I'm not racist BUT..." then it's going to be racist.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

From where I am, interracial couples arent too common. I remember seeing a white guy with his black girlfriend in a restaurant, and I freaked out a bit. Interracial couples are the cutest thing.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

its not a bad thing at all. I'm a white girl in love with a native american guy i've known since we were younger kids.

My high school boyfriend was native and I'm white. Nobody thought it was weird, there were so many couples like that at my school.

People tend to go for their own races, however, some inter-racial couples just make sense!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No way, I think I've had more crushes/relationships with different races than with my own (I'm white). Probably about 60-70 percent I think.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It depends on what sort of environment someone is raised in. If they live in a more racially diverse area, they wouldn't think it's unusual. If you live in a less populated area, it's unlikely there is very much racial diversity and it would seem weird to see an interracial couple. Even if you think it's unusual, you might be subconsciously a little racist, but it's not necessarily a bad thing.
