If your son or daughter ever decided to date someone outside of their race, would something like that ever make a difference to you and why?

It would make no difference at all. My child's happiness is all as a parent I want for them.
-
nah. it makes no difference at all because i dont really care about that kinda thing. any love thats love is right.
-
Nope, not really.
-
Go for it. We're all more intergrated than we realize.
-
Didn't bother me. I married a Tongan girl, and one of my daughters connected with a Samoan chap. No. I just hope they can all find happiness and love.
-
Not at all, I would love that my child was open minded like me. The important thing is whether or not that person can treat them the way they deserve to be treated.
-
No way in hell!!! My son or daughter has to find the right person for themselves, not for me nor my wife.
-
No. It wouldn't. If it did, I hope one of my closer friends would sneak up behind me and shoot me in the head for being a terminal asshole! ;-)
-
i've had two boyfriends. one of my race and another outside my race. this second guy made me happier than i ever was... and i wish i was still with him. i don't think race is an issue here. you can be with someone of your race and have nothing in common but your race... and you can be with someone so different yet they are your soul mate. i wish my parents would understand that.
-
no i wouldnt because simply this if she happy im happy done deal
-
Of course not. My son has a black girlfriend, she's sweet and smart, and he likes her. that's all that matters.
-
I would be uncomfortable at first. Its alot of history between whites and blacks. I would eventually except it. But it would be hard at first. African american women have been through alot in history. ALOT! Now here is where you guys can help me out. If my son wanted to date outside of our race I wouldnt have a problem. Why is this. Do you think its predjudice? I know im not racist though. I really would like to knmow what u all think. Thanks. P.S I know that this was about dating outside of race. Not just black and white.
-
It would make a huge difference to me. Although I try to be informed about as many walks to life as I can be, when someone's walk of life comes close to my own, I try to know as much about that walk as possible so that I can try to understand it and relate to them more easily. Thus, the difference it would make to me is that it would add many books to my "need to read" list (and probably bump many from top priority).
-
I great match up has nothing to do with race. As a parent I hope that my children get involved with persons of quality. Quality meaning: Void of undesirable hang-ups. (redneck, drug user, socially depressed, lacking goals, self centered, closed minded, sports anal, money anal) Wait! maybe there is a better place to raise my kids?
-
If I had a son, and he did, while in all honesty I would be less than thrilled, I suppose I might find a way to deal with it. If I had a daughter and she did that would be harder for me. I also suppos I would "blame" the man she was dating. If to were me son, I would "blame" my son. It would be tought to embrace that sort of thing, is they were my children, maybe I would figure it was my fault that they did this. While I know this is biased, the concept of it sets me on edge, maybe I will be diffrent about it then.
-
yes
-
I wouldn't care one little bit, as long as they were being treated like they deserved to be.
-
For my son, I'd be okay with him dating an Asian girl. For my daughter, I wouldn't be too happy about her bringing home anything other than a white man, although I'd deal with it.
-
Absolutely. A person of any race can be either nasty or kind. There is no way that can be determined by a person's race. I just want them to be with good people.
-
absolutely. My family is white, black, asian, mexican, indian....the whole works...and they are all super cool, and works out good. Nothig wrong with that...Good guys and bad guys come in every shape size...AND COLOR. We are all human right?
-
My daughter already has and i could care less. I evaluate things based on how my child is treated.
-
I would be O.K. if my child dated outside of HIS or HER race.
-
Of course I would. There is nothing wrong with it. However, if the person they get with doesnt treat them right, that would be the only problem i had
-
Why does race matter so much to people?
-
Absolutely not, I don't want any grey-skinned alien grandchildren.
-
I am white and part american indian. My wife is Mexican. So if we can marry, I guess she can date whoever she wants. My only criteria is that he treats her well.
-
Surely! I am so not close-minded.
-
Most definitely!!!!
-
No, they would have to complete the race first then focus on dating a human
-
No. God made all different kinds of people, why should I bar my child from any of them as long as they are not harming him or her?
-
I dont have any kids but i would love to have kids with some1 outside my race coz half cast kids are so good looking!!
-
Sure why not. Race, nationality, gender, as long as their partner is a good person :)
-
Of course as long as they are both happy with one another. As my parents brought us kids up to look within as that is where the real person lies.
-
you're a racist piece of shit and the only reason racism still exists in the world today is because of ass holes like you who can't deal with an interracial couple. Also, stupid black people that try to act as black as they can by hatin on whities for no reason and making everything seem racist in some odd way. If you yourself are black then go eat some more chicken and kool-aid with enough sugar to give a rhino diabetes.
-
Only if I'd get a pizza out of it.
-
Yes it would be OK. Many white men don't want their daughters to date a black guy. They fear that he may be ghetto, lazy, abusive...etc. But what if she was with a white trailer trash alcoholic abusive scumbag that couldn't hold a job? What's the difference?
-
There is only one race - the human race, unless your son/daughter is dating other animals ( in which case I probably would be a little concerned ). If it bothers anyone they could watch hours and hours of "inter-racial" porn, until they get used to seeing and realising that the mechanics are all the same. Such an enlightened education may lead to some beautiful grand children!
-
My son is an adult and free to choose who he associates with.
-
Personally I don't date outside of my race unless it is just a fling, we are friends, or its about sex. When it comes to serious relationships I date within my own race. That is my own personal preference. As far as my kids, they are free do date whoever they want. I am not here to tell them what they have to like.
-
It would not bother at all me as long as the young man had total respect for my daughter.
-
I would not worry about race, I am worried about values.
-
To be completely honest I was concerned at first and it surprised me. Before I married I dated outside my race without giving it a thought. Then when my child did, even though she was an adult, I felt an odd bit of doubt. It was fleeting and disappeared once I met the young man. They have now given me a really wonderful grand daughter and I have no concerns. She is a wonderful blessing.
-
It would not bother me one bit. I always measure people by their character and not anything else like race, religion or status. I'd be more concerned about how the person they are dating treats them.
-
Would not bother me WHAT SO EVER! I judge people by what is on the inside and not the outside. I have many friends that are of another race. +5
-
I am being honest as I am not completely colour blind as most people claim to be,I guess it would bother me with certain races !!!!
-
We all come from the same place..we all started from the same Start Line. There is only one race..the human race. So unless you are talking about a human being dating a chipmunk, your question makes no sense to me. Happy Monday to you! :)
-
Why would one care? What difference does it make? If there is love, that is all that is necessary (And the ability to withstand ignorance and bigotry)...
-
Nope Nope Nope And if your mind works in the *it bothers me way* interracial babies tend to be among the most beautiful.. But yeah :) not bothered
-
not at all.... I hold no animosity toward any race (though I find several unatractive) however if she/he were to date someone of a few cultures I would have a problem.... for instance I would not want any of my children dating anyone of ghetto culture, that culture glorifies promiscuity and antiscocial behavior.
-
yes it would bother me, mostly because if they have kids the kids will have to live with their decision too whether they like it or not. i would accept my child dating another race. as long as the person is a good person.
-
Race doesn't matter, but how they act and how they live their life and treat others matters. "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by ***the content of their character***." Even if someone comes from a culture different than yours, if they are a good person, treat your son or daughter right and both are happy... it's much easier to adjust to differences in culture than it is to find that kind of happiness in this world!
-
I don't have children, but if I did it wouldn't bother me. It would bother certain other family members though.
-
The human race? Like they were dating a bird or frog or something?
-
I guess all I could do would be to think they learned it at home because I am in an interracial relationship. I'm white and outside of dating a few white women, the majority have been korean (as is my current gf), japanese, chinese, tai and I have also dated a few greek, african american, spanish and egyptian women. Race doesn't concern me because i've learned jerks come in all colors.
-
I love my children so much that race would not mean a damn thing to me...as long as they are happy...I'm happy.....
-
"Race" is a fiction. There is only ONE race, the human race. Otherwise we could not have viable offspring. My only biological son married a very lovely young woman who was half Italian and half Brazilian. They have one son with blond hair and blue eyes, and another son with dark brown eyes, dark brown hair, and a dark complexion. Which "races" are my grandsons, and why would that be important?
-
Well, I'm no parent. But my younger sister has a thing for african amercian guys and would 9 times out of 10 date them over anyone who is Caucasian. I never understood why, but I don't have a problem with it. I never cared for race when it came down to relationships. My family always did though. My older brother is very Racist because he thinks it's funny. But it disgusts me. It took awhile for my mom to get used to it, or to even approve it with my sister. I remember the long arguements we used to have where my sister went to her room in tears and I would still be yelling at my mom about how ignorant she was being. But somewhere along the line she got over it. I never understood why my parents thought like that. I always thought it was love that mattered. But to my parents, they just argued that it wasn't meant to be like that or they would try and scare her with the whole "it will make your life more difficult" arguement. But I found both to be completely irrational. And when I have kids, race will be the last thing on my mind when it comes to seeing them date.
-
I wouldn't care as long as there intentions were good and not based on some stupid stereotypes. I always got girls asking me about my brother. They said they wanted to have pretty mixed babies and all kinds of stupid stuff like that. It makes you feel like a product and not a person.
-
It wouldn't make a difference as long as they were on the same page.
-
We're all human, and it's GOOD to have different cultures than one another. I don't understand how this is a bad thing...or maybe it's just a plain question on Can My Kid Date a Human??
