I'm mixed race and most if not all members of my family are mixed race also. Some of my exes were mixed race. I have dated people from the various races so it's not a problem.
Hi Jed, thank you so much for your response, I appreciate it. And I'm just curious if have you ever experienced that parents of your ex or your significant other at that time was not supportive at all?
Love doesn't see the real soul color. You just gotta see if that person is compatible with you. Like is that person ideal for you? You know, are they respectful, kind, loving, and caring?
So I am engaged to someone who is from another race. So I'm very obviously I am, you know, I don't think there's anything wrong with in-relation relationships. I do understand that when people of color have concerns.
The reason that I say this is because specifically like white women who are dating black men, it's almost like they use their partner as an excuse for their racism. So like there will be like white women who will be
They want to say the n-word and just like be racist and appropriate their partner's culture. Um, and then they use their partner like as an excuse for it and it's just really fucking weird.
that is not cool why would you do such a thing using that as an excuse because you have a partner that's a different color and so you have the right to be racist?
I wasn't aware until now that that's happening and it's just sad to think that people would do such thing. But anyways, you know what, stay strong girl with your partner and I wish you the best in life.
Oh I'm also curious, Brittany, if was there any adjustment that you did relating to like cultural differences with your partner? If there's any like how, how's adjustment?
my partner is mexican but like i've always been around mexicans so it really wasn't too big of an adjustment to be quite honest with you um we just you know had to learn each other's languages and that's really it i fucking i love mexicans they're fun as fuck
I mean he came here when I think he was like 18 or something he's 34 now so I mean he had a lot of adjustments just coming here but I think by the time that he was with me it wasn't adjusting to my culture it was just adjusting to me being a fucking crazy ass bitch
I've actually dated a lot of different backgrounds. A lot. The funny thing is I'm Italian and Dutch and that's the one woman that for some reason I can't...
Well, Mike, I've been there. Long distance relationship isn't easy at all. It's a choice you have to make if you want to work things out with your partner. And so, yeah, it's hard.
It's basically social constructionism. People who think that being in an interracial relationship is nasty or sinful, it's not. Cut your wrist and y'all be bleeding the same color.
So this is a wonderful conversation topic. I am married, my husband is Caucasian, and I am Latina, and we have very different family backgrounds and very different traditions.
I believe interracial marriages are so beautiful, but it really only works if you're open minded, because you need to realize that this person has a completely different background than you, so you have to be open to trying new things and to understanding things a little differently.
be extremely challenging when it comes to family affairs or to religion or to even culture in general. So you have to keep all these things in mind if you are thinking about being in an interracial relationship.
Hi, thank you so much for your input and for your advice. I would totally take note of that. And it's just amazing how there's a lot of people being in one and love knows no boundaries. Love is love.
This is really a good advice, Gary. Thank you so much. I'm also curious, what are the challenges, specific challenges, and how do you adjust to it? And what's your take on religion, if you guys have different religions?
Rumi, thank you so much for your response. I appreciate it. I'm just curious though, was there any challenges that you faced relating religion, political stand, or any cultural differences?
Hey, it's your queer boy, Kana Algarua, it's your very gay godmother. I think that shouldn't be the highlight of the relationship because that person and yourself are individuals. It is a variable and I think it should be considered but it shouldn't.
It shouldn't be the main focal point of the relationship. With that said, I think it's always lovely when someone tries to learn your culture with humbleness and genuality.
I also think there's a lot to be learned from interracial relationships. I think that's what makes the world a beautiful place is having that diversity. So continue to date people outside of your norm and grow as a human being.
Round of applause for our fair-gay godmother, Ken! It's giving Miss Universe Contestant Answer and I dig it, I dig it. I agree with you and thank you so much for your encouragement and for your response.
