Nnnno, they're not. From the borders of Ukraine, Poland, etc. to about the Ural Mountain range is considered European, and contains most of the ethnic Russians and habitable terrain. Fun facts!Senaro said:

Here's my two cents:
I'm black, and so far, none of my previous relationships have been with a lady of the same race as I (this being total coincidence, and not of my design.) The thing is... I never really thought that was a big deal until I noticed how often people brought it up. I've grown up around racism, and I don't think people's reactions were what you'd call "racist," but it just seemed like people would treat us differently at times, or make little comments. This struck me as odd because, as I said, I never really thought it was that big of a deal.
Then again, I grew up within driving distance of the international headquarters of the KKK, so I think it was a regional thing. @_@

Are you sure about that? How is that possible? I agree with your mixed race people comment but. I might even go so far to say that half white half asian girls are my favourite 'breed' (I can't think of a way to say that without it seeming like I am refering to women as farm stock).Angryman101 said:
My younger sister is currently in a relationship with a guy called "Sai Kranthy" (may have mis spelled his name) who comes from a small part of India.
I have no problems with these sorts of relationships between people, why would anyone else?

I dont really care, people can date with who ever they want.
Personally though, I wouldnt date a black woman.
Am I a bad person?

I think it's great. If you love someone, it doesn't matter if they're black, white, purple, green, yellow, short, fat, a banana, a piece of cheese, whatever.
The media could do more to put interracial couples in a positive light with more couples like that in TV shows.

If I was to take sides, I support it - I don't really care who dates who.
Everyone has their personal preferences, and ideas on beauty, so an interracial relationship isn't everyone's cup of tea. I'm not surprised that some people just aren't attracted to certain races, just as long as it isn't because they have an irrational hate for the race.

I don't care about it myself, but I can see how it can be an issue with other people, both with some communities traditionally disproving of interracial relationships, and also with some people being pro or even forced into interracial relationships.
In the UK there are too many "Honour" Killings among the South East Asian community in which the male family members will kill a daughter if she dates outside her ethnic group.
Conversely, I read an article on the BBC that a lot of educated, aspiring and professional black women in America are practically forced to date outside their race to find a like minded man with similar goals and aspirations, as most black males their age are thugs and gangsters with no aspirations and a criminal record and therefore aren't desirable partner material.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11434399
Interestingly, the article states that only 4.5% of black women date outside their race, compared to 14% of males, so it seems that a lot of them are destined to remain single.
Whilst I don't have any problems with the concept of interracial relationships myself, I think it's naive to try to pretend it's not an issue and to feign ignorance at other people's objections to it.

I never really care of race when I was dating and being european white and my wife an american jew I guess you can say I support them, they harm no one and never have

Meh, it's just another relationship between consenting adults, therefore it has nothing to do with me and I wish them a long and fulfilling life together.
As for if I would enter into one, yes if I find the right guy, Although I think it'd be unlikely purely because I live in a predominantly white area (seriously, there was only 2 non white kids at my school out of 850)

My mom is a Mexican lady from Texas (who was originally Catholic), my dad is an Indian/Pakistani guy from Africa (and Muslim). I am the product of such a marriage. Sometimes mixing of cultures can be hard and awkward, especially if looking for the blessing of parents from both sides. Other than difficulties it can cause sometimes I think interracial marriages are awesome. And it's fine if I want to stay within my own ethnic group since I have two to choose from. And to add to this, its not at all racist to prefer your own ethnic group. Just like a black man can prefer asians, I can prefer to marry an Indian/Pakistani though I also find Hispanic/Latino girls very attractive to.
I have to say, I've been in an IR relationship and it was good, and I have a friend who married to someone outside her race and thats great. But at the end of the day, I really couldn't careless if people do or don't do it.MasterOfWorlds said:
I can state though from experience that sometimes the cultures of certain races can cause major issues. My last IR relationship being my case in point, she was British born indian and I'm a white Brit. Things were great between us until her community got involved and nicknames me (I'm going to write it out as its said) 'Gorra', it means white boy and is basically the equivalent of a black guy being called a coon.
From that point on I couldn't hold her hand in public and if someone came to visit while I was there I had to make myself scarce and since I was usually in her room that meant out the window, over the garage, into the garden and fence hopping across peoples gardens until I reached the street.
