That is apperently a thing that I don't agree with, but some people of race dating interacially encounter. Asian girl, white male. Apperently this is odd. I don't care myself, but she has found that people assume they're friends. Until she tells them, "Uh, we're dating." Then it's weird.nin_ninja said:
Does not compute!
Well, I know several interracial couples, but they're all white 
Although, my girlfriends great-uncle just got married to a Sri Lankan woman, at the tender age of 82.
Where I live, interracial couples are common, but not that common. Many of the immigrants here are just as white as the original inhabitants, but for the different coloured ones not so big a deal.
Personally, I find it hard to relate to it, for 2 reasons.
Firstly, I seriously don't get why it should be a problem, unless you're into hardcore 3rd Reich genetic purity programs (and I think we all know what that says about you if you are).
Secondly, I don't really understand the attraction. I'm almost 30 now and I think maybe I've seen 2 attractive africans, 3 attractive asians and 1 attractive latino in my entire life. And yes, thats counting any sort of internet "entertainment" as well. Also, being a european we have lots of mediterranean and arabian ethnics as well. They're usually not attractive either.
I suppose my sex drive may be racist...

I should also mention that race can be a culturally thing. It's an odd way to gain awareness of that, but in an episode of House MD, House snarkily snapped at Foreman (see? Got this awareness budding up from TV. Odd), "and how many white women have you dated in the last 10 years," or some such. His scripted reply was, "Sure, more of my partners have been black. That's not a racial thing, it's cultural."
What he said (read; what the writers wrote) was kind of remarkable. When you grow up, it can be any number of ways. Your community can be very culturally influenced. An asian community might have lots of influences from XX Location in the families heritage. Someone growing up in strictly whitesville USA might find their attraction towards anglo saxon pairings more natural. A black man coming from a heritage of black Harlem may find themselves with more in common with the same cultural type that they grew up around.
This isn't to say there isn't "rule" breaking couples, or that it's wrong or strange. I believe in areas where there are more racial and cultural mixtures together, you'll get interracial couples. In Small-White-Town USA (sister settlement to Whitesville), where the cultural mix on the pie chart is 1% for "other races" other than white, you'll see unspoken rules develop, that no one is the wiser of.
So I don't think this has anything to do with Racism (if that was on the minds of anyone). Just race. ...unless it does have to do with racism for some people. Then, that's them.

Um woman is woman? Color of skin not matter, only what is in her heart, her head, and her soul.
Now that I said that in the most basic of way for our racist friends I can add the who cares card. To me race is just like borders, they only exist because humans inforce the idea. To me I have friends, some may be different colors, but in the end I befriend the colors just the person.
Never understood that asian girl fetish....

I don't find it as you call it 'odd' but I do notice and acknowledge it more if I see an interracial couple. It doesn't bother me, it's just unusual in my area, it's probably at least 95% white.
Right now I am kind of into a girl who is another race. So naturally, I don't mind it in the least. I hope someday that that maight even become the norm rather than the exception.
I live in Toronto.
That means we've got a fuckload of immigrants of all races and cultures, myself included. So, uh, there are plenty of interracial couples or what not. My brother's married to a Korean, too...
I, myself, do not care about race at all. When I say race, I'm talking about unimportant and generally unchangeable (unless you're Michael Jackson...) things like skin colour, general appearance and so on. Now some pesky cultures and religions/superstitions that generally get mixed in a lot, are annoying as fucking hell.
I'm cool with anybody as long as they're rational and cynical.

I have nothing against it morally, however I can't help but think its weird/awkward when I see it.
I have nothing against them, in fact my last girlfriend was black(I'm white), and while we were amazingly happy together her family and certain parts of mine hated the fact that we were together and hounded us mercilessly about it, up until the point where we neither one could take it anymore.
the point I'm making is while for the most part it is pretty openly accepted there will always be parts of society that is racist, no point in trying to change it, just learn to deal with it

Damn, you stole my post. Basically this; I also live in Melbourne, and we're a pretty multicultural city. You see a lot of interracial couples and to me it doesn't really matter. So far I've only dated people who aren't my race so it's not like I'm allowed to care anyway.latenightapplepie said:
