Of course I would. The person I decide to date and love is between me and them. If my family disapproves then that is their problem, not mine. I think my date might have more of a problem than me since I come from the home of all rednecks and she would have to explain that to her family.

I love who I love...and if my family has a problem with it, that's their problem. I'm too old to worry about that now. I live in an area where interracial relationships are deeply frowned upon, but honestly, if I were to fall in love with someone of a different race and my acquaintenances didn't approve, I wouldn't care much about that either. And my friends are open-minded enough that if they had concerns about him, it wouldn't be because of his race, so that's not an issue either.

I stand by my partner and say 'this is my life,not yours'. If they came around goodo, if not, tough luck. I am sure they are not worried about what you think of their decisions, so don't worry yourself with what they think.

Bravo

Well, my family is made up from all in sundry.

We have western all sorts in my family.


I'll try to list them.

English/Scots/Canadian/Australian/Indian/Ghana/German/and god only knows what else!

We are an equal opportunity family who will harras anything that walks, or even shuffles in our direction.

There's also a street with my name on it in Malaka, so i think my uncle may well have done something notable there to have a street named after him.

It's the people you meet that are important, i personally couldn't care less about ethnicity.

I have dated whom I chose in the past. My parents always hated them because of a cultural or physical difference. They were right. Not because of those things, but because they were not good men. That's all that matters to me. A good man. The outside and other aspects are not the binding factors. It's the heart that is. I simply chose the wrong men.

I teach my children the same. I don't care if their partner is purple and from Mars. They just need to be a good partner. That simple.

geez the world has truly changed. good doing sxc. that was a very mature response. i know some people who put family before their relationships. they believe "if my parents dont like you then something must be wrong with you". white bahamians dont date black bahamians. we're not good enough for them to marry because their families will cut them off in every way if they do. most white bahamian families here are rich so it's money before happiness. they still turn around and cheat on their wives with the woman they really love anyway!

lmbo very funny

Your family is there to support you. If something like color, weight, or even religion is an issue - then you probably would not be dating that person any ways. Seeing as how our families tend to influence our choices.


Though I know that my mom has specific ideas of who she would like me to be with, I also know that she would respect my choice in a lover - no matter what they looked like. It's all in how that person treats me.

Good poll!

My family has nothing to do with it, other than my daughter and she feels the same way I do, ethnicity doesn't matter.

There is only one answer in the romantica world and a full spectra of possible answers in the real.

Of course I date the person anyway, and no sneaking around about it.

Of course, I already asked my mom to take a hike, that can be the price for differences. If it is, then it is.

But I was independent, and could take the "loss". Make sure you can, since the date may end up worth nothing and you lost all (real world fashion).

mmmmmmmmmmm.... I have to be careful hear, I think that am walking on thin ice but I have to speak my mind:

IMHO:

marriage is not a reunion of two only but three parties including you two (you and your partner):

the first family is your children. you may think that you will rise them according to your opinion and thought which you strongly believe in. however, look at your self and see how much you think differently than your parent now. so, do not forget to put your children thoughts in your decision formula.

the second family is your parents. remember you will be parent one day and what you expect from your children you should deliver to your parents too. also, the future is not as you may think!!! roses all the way to haven. problems will happen between you and your partner and you will need your family support and comfort especially if you both split (divorced God forbid) there is no christen marriages anymore even if you say "till death do us apart".

the third family is your companion family. they are part of the package regardless of what you or your companion thinks. similarly to your situation as before, if something happened to you or between you two guess where your companion will go back too???? his/her family too and your children may end up there too.

believe me sister I am with everything said above that color, ethnicity, boga boga??? or even religion should not matter but you have to work on the relationship more both of you.

you must gain some support from each side not necessarily from the entire family of both sides but some members of each side. both of you must work together to win such support and the harder you work to do that the stronger your relationship will last and shows to both families your dedication and love to each other.

please do not be selfish in your happiness and share it with the best people around you whom they really love and remember they loved you first.

this is my advice,,, take it from a lonely since the day he was brought to this life.

I wish you and you loved one the best

cheers

The real life version I would call that. Well said and written

My whole family are racists...even my kids. My sister and I are the only ones who think of people as people, not a skin color. I had an "affair" with a woman of color once. This is where I am to say it was the greatest I ever had....sorry ot was nice! But no nicer tan any other I had,

Point is...I have no concern about a person's skin color!!

I do have...

I like it to be darker than mine (some colour at all that is :laugh)

by the way


I did not vote so that one voter is not me OK!!!!!

<<<<<<< so sacred not to be crossfide

Are you kidding us?

Sometimes, i don't believe the things i read.

I knew it someone will slap it in my face.

take it easy my sis, am just trying to meet half way that is all.

it is only an opinion without taking sides. it is not either your are with us or against us. there is always a middle point for most party to meet. I said most not all.

so, please read again and if you still disagree then it is OK. life has more colors than one and that is the beauty of life. as long as we don't force ours onto others.

cheers

Love doesn't have colors

He is not kidding, what he writes is what often real in this world. Another thing entirely if one wants to heed the advice, but not doing it may very well mean you are loosing one or more of the mentioned parties.

Sad but true, and I know it from my personal life, since I could never "choose with a calculated mind".
