As these attitudes are largely based upon a person's developmental experience - the way they were nurtured as a child - I would say it all depends on where you HAVE lived and is not necessarily dependent on where you are living in the present moment.

It does not ALL depend on where you live but I think it does factor into it. One of the biggest factors to consider is how we are "taught"~learned behavior~we are not born to like/dislike someone based on there race but instead taught it. Hope that makes sense.

To tell you the truth. Some people don't like to see it. This is elsewhere the same. If you start a relationship you should be aware that such a relationship can (must not) cause more problems than another relationship. Every deviant attitude or behavious is watched by some people around very closely.

Here in London it is a melting pot of different ethnicities. So generally it isn't regarded as anything out of the ordinary, definitely not for me - thinking on it I have dated a wide variety of races and ethnicities. However, occasionally you can see 'the look' - some will shoot a glance at the woman i am with or myself and you can see which part of the relationship they disapprove of (it's hypocritical that way). Sometimes you get questions but most are well meaning (from people who most likely are attracted to someone of a different heritage but have not been out with them yet). Only once or twice have I had comments with venom in them - very rare.

Some of it depends on where you live, but I think most of it depends on how the people were raised.

Yes. The south (Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, etc.) still has not gotten over the civil war! They still have the clan and some places in Illinois you can still see signs warning of the danger that blacks face after sun down. I am white and my wife is black. We live in California and no one gives us a second look, because interracial couples are everywhere out here.
