I would say the race doesnt matter but the culture they grew up in matters big time. As a person who worked with several nationalities i can tell you no matter what the culture in which these people grow up matters BIG TIME
I have travelled much, all over the World, all my life, started it on a boat with my parents at the end of the 50s, i can say that i have met all of what we generally call " races" ( i would say "ethnies") on the different Continents, and my conclusion is that the People are the same everywhere, they live, love,enjoy, suffer, struggle and die.. They all have the same blood in their veines only the look differs and it makes this world colorful and so very interesting ! That would be so boring if we'd be all the same everywhere, don't you think ? Now, I am much more reserved about cultural traditions and beliefs, that can lead to atrocities and butcheries, no respect for Women and Children in so many places etc ..
John Lennon would sing "You may say I am a dreamer, but i'm not the only one... and the world will be as One" .. Never quit dreaming
Change isn't required - recognition, acceptance, and tolerance are
Divinechaos: The tragedy in the whole thing there are bunch a liberal/ progresives that they think that can be changed . I come from a heavy expat/ multiethnic society i can tell you they do not change or they change a little bit enough to mask their cultural heritage .
A simple answer to this post would be that it is up to the two who happen to be dating. If it works for them, then why not. If they choose to continue dating and become a couple then there will be cultural differences that may challenge them as a couple. Same answer to that though, if it works for them, then why not. It is a diverse world that we live in and there are many multicultural relationships(marriages). Surely nothing wrong with that. JMO
Iuchi_Zien: No we can't and we probably never will. Until you feed everybody a drug or legislate that everybody HAS to be the same we will NEVER all get along.
Sorry you feel this way.
I've been in quite a few situations with people from many different places - and regardless of whatever was going on politically "back home" the people in the room got along just fine. It's a matter of willingness to get over stereotypes, prejudice, ignorance about others, or whatever it is that causes people to feel so jaded about other people.
