What Do You Think Of Mixed Marriages/relationships?
I was recently watching the movie (the 1967 version) of look who's coming for dinner. It is about a couple, the man who is black, and the woman who is white, coming home and announcing to their parents that they are planning to get married to each other. There was lots of contraversy, and many people against it.
Personally, I come from a mixed family, my mother is Chinese, my father is British. I have never had any trouble with being a mixed kid, or have never noticed there ever being problems with coming from a mixed family. But according to my parents, when they first annouced they were getting married, people did have issues with them being of different cultures.
I truly do not understand how any can have a problem, but apparently people still do. So I would like to know, how many of you are okay with it, and how many of you are against it. Obviously the poll is anonymous, so you can give your true opinion, but I ask that you make comments on your opinion if you feel comfortable doing so.
Also, there is no middle category, because I do not believe that such a category exists, and that having a middle category will just allow people to ignore coming to a realization of what they actually think. I mean, you cannot be in the middle ground on a topic like this. You either do not like people of different cultures being together, or you do not mind it. There is no "I don't have an opinion".
Anyways, thanks ahead to everyone who answers.

I'm fine with it. Love is love. Love's not colors of skin, or different races.
If they wanna get married or date, let them. It's their choice, whatever makes them happy that's all that matters.

I am okay with it, but I don't think my parents would agree with me dating someone who is different than me, but that's their opinion. I will date who I want to date.

Re: What Do You Think Of Mixed Marriages/relationships?
im perfectly fine with it. love is love. you cant help who you love. and its just a color it doesnt make any person inhuman. i dont know like anyone who has a problem with it. i mean i know that there will be a couple people but i dont see a problem with it as long as the couple is happy.

She's so big hearted
but not so remarkable
just an ordinary humble girl
expecting nothing as we may
to think it's a pretty person's worth
you are beautiful
and you'd better go show it
so go and look again
you gotta be true only if you really wanna go to the top and you really wanna win
don't believe in living normal
just to satisfy demand
Well, if you wanna get free
and if wanna get smart by the sake of your heart
you should own your lame and stand up tall

Re: What Do You Think Of Mixed Marriages/relationships?
I don't have a problem with it at all but my parents sure do, but then again they hate anything being mixed. Hell, I'm a roman cathlioc, and my girlfriend is a pagan...I'm sure that's going to go over well........

Re: What Do You Think Of Mixed Marriages/relationships?
I don't have a problem with it, because well, I'm in one, and I got 2 beautiful babies out of it. My dad is totally against it though, which is why I was kicked out at 14, because I refused to dump my black boyfriend. I don't understand it though, because my mom is Latino....So can people be racist to only a certain race?

Re: What Do You Think Of Mixed Marriages/relationships?
thats sad, I'm sorry to say, but to get kicked out for dating someone of a different race, at 14? I am so sorry for you Jayde.
I have nothing wrong with mixed realtionships, but I have some friends that do have a problem with it....I guess it depends on preference, but I say, its your life, live it the way you want.....
My dad would have problem with it, but that kinda doesn't matter, since my BF and future husband is italian like me and is Roman Catholic, like me......so yea......

Hello Adulthood!
The courage to serve them with reliance
Face my mistakes without defiance
Show them I'm worthy
And while I show them
I'll show me
So, let them bring on all their problems
I'll do better than my best
I have confidence they'll put me to the test
But I'll make them see I have confidence in me

What do you think of mixed marriages/relationships? [/b]
I don't. People actually think about these things?
How 'bout that?
