Interracial relationships

Snow-Star6, on December 22, 2019 at 5:42 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 19
Hi, I am new here, I am opening the discussion because today the interracial relationships are not something unusual, but many people have prejudice. If you are in an interracial relationship, what is your experience? If you're not, what is your opinion about it.



I am in an interracial relationship. I am Peruvian of German and Italian origin and he is African - American. I have never ever met better man than him. We were 3 years in a relationship and on May, 6 ( our anniversary) he proposed me. Now we are expecting our first baby, a son and in October is our wedding.

    Personally, I don't see the issue with it. My great grandmother was a native American and married a European man. This of course used to be super looked down upon and probably still is. I don't look down on it because I wouldn't have life today without people going against the social norm of their time. My best advice is to ignore the haters and take care of your family. Someone will always have a problem with your relationship no matter what race you are or who you choose to marry. Heaven forbid you are a couple that communicates well and finds total happiness... they will strive to find a flaw haha. My point is, surround yourself with the people who support you and rid of any others.

    You are right. I think in general that most people who have problems with it are jealous and they can't accept someone'

    I think people who have problems with it can't accept someone's happiness. They are jealous because they are not happy.

    Absolutely. My fiance is an amazing man and treats me like a queen. My old best friend tried to point out flaws in him. She was toxic and always unhappy with life. I ended that friendship and kept my man!

    I'm biracial- african american and caucasian. My FH is caucasian. We have gotten rude looks. I dont even talk to some of my family, particularly my grandma and her sister due their prejudice against caucasian people and how they are. My FMIL and FFIL told us when we began dating in 2017 they dont support interracial relationships but because their son is in it they love him and want him happy. His mother has told me I dont act like the typical black person. I have gotten so many rude comments from her. I've gotten more remarks from family and future family. The outside world has gotten better with acceptance. Not completely but it has improved

    I dated a guy for a while whose mom treated me nice to my face, but stabbed me in the back and told him she didn’t like me because I was white and she didn’t trust me. It didn’t work out anyway but it was awful bc we were together a while. My now husband is Korean and everything has been fine between our families but he feels self conscious when we go places sometimes especially if it’s somewhere new.

    I think it just depends on the people and sometimes the area. Luckily my FH family loves me (in my favor every girl he dated before me were crazy and had nothing going for them lol) and my mom loved him before she passed. Our families and friends have been supportive. I know my dad would have an issue had he been alive and I am sure my aunt is not a huge fan of interracial relationships. I do not care. Funny you are posting this because the small company he started working at had a company party and he warned me they are mostly Caucasian and I was worried what they would think about us showing up and he said he did not care. I was more concerned that his job may be in jeopardy but if the situation were reversed I also would not care ha ha. I think the most important thing is that we put each other first and do not worry about others. We know some people have an issue with it but neither of us care because we love each other and we make each other happy. Smiley smile I suggest you two do the same. You cannot control others ignorance but as long as you two love each other forget the others. Smiley smile

    To be honest, I don't care what do others think. We are more than 7 months engaged and almost 4 years together. And as I have said, I am pregnant almost 5 months.

    I can say that I was feeling conscious at the beginning, but now everything is fine.

    I am Chinese-Guatemalan born in the US, and my FH is as white as they get.


    I was a bit concerned when we started dating because my previous relationship was with a Spaniard and his whole family was racist. Even though I spoke Spanish with them they would make up “Chinese” words and ask me if I understood them. They were incredibly rude and condescending.
    My FH is super great and has had to learn 2 new cultures because of my biracial background. His family really likes me and his mom can’t wait to have little grand kids. My parents really like my FH because he’s the nicest and kindest soul from all the men Ive been with 🥰

    I had no problem with his family, but most of my uncles, aunts, my grandparents were against my relationship, but they have never separate us. When we told our families that we are having a baby soon his family was very happy for us, but mine was 50/50 (the members mentioned above weren't happy about it) but accepted that I am happy.

    I forget it too. I don't care how do others look at me. I just care for my life.

    Honestly as long as you're happy that's all that matters. I am learning that now. And congrats on your engagement and the baby!

    According to statistics, interracial and intercultural marriages have a much higher divorce rate compared to same cultural or same race marriages.
    If two people genuinely love eachother no matter what color they are, i think its great!
    My FH is black and his two brothets talk about how they think all black women are ugly and hate how they wear hair extensions and acrylic nails lol. First off, a person wearing hair extensions and acrylic nails has nothing to do with what kind of spouse and/or parent they will be! On top of that my FHs brothers get with any womam who IS NOT black and the ones they get with weigh 300lbs, smoke, live an unhealthy lifestyle and have zero career and education plans. Then they complain when they have a kid and the mom is feeding the kid unhealthy and smoking inside of the house. In my opinion, if a person finds beauty in every race except his or her own, i think its unfortunate and i feel sorry for them.

    From the outside, I don't care and would just think, "that's nice" and move about my day with no other thoughts. Maybe that your kid is cute etc. Normal thoughts about any other couple


    From being in one or two, there is usually a culture difference that takes time to get worked out but never really does... Like it is impossible to understand fully the other culture like you were raised in it and compromise vs someone from the same culture doesn't have those compromises. It can work. You'll also run into buttheads that will make your life harder because they need a life. Don't let buttheads bother you though and remember nobody likes them. Remember, they may be in either side of the family which makes it really hard.

    I'm half Filipino and half Black and my FH is white. My family could care less but he said he has some family members that are kind of racist including his mother and I've yet to meet her. As far as strangers go, I honestly haven't really noticed too much and if anyone does look at us weird we are "non-caring" type of people. We could care less about what anyone says or thinks.
