Helen of Troy? Did she have a interracial relationship? I don't remember that. Wasn't she a Greek who fell inlove with a prince of Troy, which is basically Greek also. U r offended by the question what is ur view on this sort of relationship Moe? Interesting... why would i be offended? only marriage i'm against is gay marriage... troy is in turkey, Asia minor, while Greece is in the Mediterranean.. and, Helen was a goddess, being a hatchling from Zeus and goddess Nemesis... Nemesis didn't want to mate with zeus, so she turned herself into many different animals to evade him... then Zeus caught up with her, and turned himself into a goose (or a swan) and mated with Nemesis and the resulting egg produced Helen... so is a mortal and a goddess not interracial? Interesting... Now this is a brand new version i hear of this story Sounds cool haha I love it when different species fall in love with another Have u watched "city of angels"? love that movie |

Why on earth would it start a war? Or why is it a racist thing? Just a harmless what do u all think of a relationship of 2 different races Lol.... From what u said towards the end, obviously u don't like it. U could've just said that, simple harmless? some people don't see it that way... how many people died over "Helen of troy"?... even tho lots of people say they don't care, look at the history of how many people have died from this... zero. unless fictitious deaths count. there is, for example, no evidence that achilles or even helen existed. |

My first husband was maori. (New Zealand native).No big deal. His family treated me with respect. Sadly my family were not so embracing due to racial stereo typing. Did I care? Not a bit. We made a beautiful child and although he passed away, we found love.

We made a beautiful child and although he passed away, we found love. Yes, ure spot on with ur experience. I have noticed that it is the parents and family that make an issue out of it. To the two lovebirds, love is blind! Some parents get so mad, they even disown their children. Ridiculous if u ask me. P.s. sry for ur loss and ur last statement "we found love" ~ some people never do, bless u  for u |

Please define ' race ' & how many ? Because the governments & the media & people themselves individually, all define it differently. Examples: East Indians, Koreans, Chinese are classified as ASIANS Yet many say, ORIENT for Chinese & Mongolian Americans, North Europeans, Southern Europeans, Anglo, Saxon & Anglo Saxon etc.. are usually considered WHITE. Spaniards from Spain, Brazilian, Mexican, Cubans etc...are usually considered HISPANICS BLACK --- American, African, Jamaican, European, Cuban etc.. NATIVE - Island, American, Pacific Islands, Canadian, Australian etc.. Yet...NONE of these groups consider themselves the same or refer to themselves the same, & most do not even look similar or have the same language or culture. If we use RELIGON as race...  that is at least 4 more major groups & sub groups. IMO - It would be great if people could identify themselves how they want to & not checking off a box of LIMITED choices on a piece of paper.  Who cares who dates or marries who? I only care who I am attracted to & who am I am not ? And who I have things in common with & who I do not. In 2015, I think many people are only concerned about division (which race categories are, imo), is when they want to have children. When I wanted children, I wanted them to look like me & have my faith, my culture... so I chose a guy who would not conflict with that. Yes.. I wanted his DNA  Now... I am done breeding, sooooo.. it is LESS an issue.  Race is race religion is religion Groupings also don't make a race As an example, i am Asian, but i am not Chinese, neither am i Indian. I am Malay. This is my race. Who cares who dates or marry who? Family care. Many care Just because it's 2015, doesn't mean the prejudism has ended. Different race means different culture. I asked my mommy once, "How would you feel if i married someone of a different race? " And she answered, "Well i wouldn't say I'd be too happy coz they'd have a totally different culture to us. It won't be that easy " she had her point, i agree.

I agree this is a touchy subject that's been beaten nearly to death and most people won't give you a straight answer, mainly because in our society we've been taught not to. Allegedly we're "post-racial" whatever that even means. It's become socially acceptable to say "I don't see color" "We're all the same underneath" "We all bleed red" "There's only one race, the human race" etc. etc. etc forever and ever. Maybe some people truly mean that, maybe they don't, but we'll never really know because in our society you're not allowed to say anything that might be construed as racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, etc. Basically, now we lie. It's very easy to say what you'd do or what you'd like to think you'd do when you're not in that situation, most people pride themselves on being open-minded and tolerant and that they'd welcome a new person into their family regardless of their race, sexual orientation, etc etc, and maybe they would, but a lot of people are never presented with that situation because of other factors. Most people would like to think that they'd be willing to date someone of a different race, just because they're a nice person and they shouldn't judge someone based on the color of their skin.
Maybe they grew up in a very homogenous town or something, who knows? So you honestly don't know. I've dated outside my race and it never worked out because our cultures were too different. The last one wanted a relationship just like the one his parents had and I'm way too liberal for that nonsense. The others wanted to treat me like I was just an option and something to be tossed aside when they got bored. It was all about their control and their superiority and I'm not good at letting anyone control me, no matter who they are. I don't care who other people date, if they can find someone in their race or outside their race, more power to them. I agree any relationship is hard enough without adding any more obstacles to it. In reply to Iaaac_Dede's comment about referring them to as interracial relationships instead of just relationships, maybe they're proud of the fact that they're different? Maybe they realize that their relationships aren't the standard in our society? If everyone dated outside their race, we wouldn't need the term to differentiate those from any others. Like I said, I couldn't care less, to each his own. The only problem I have is when one person uses their race as a position of power in order to abuse the other person in the relationship, but that's a whole other story. To each his own.... Sorry for the long reply, I'm very wordy when something intrigues me.

LOVE Is ALL What WE Need FOR RELATIONSHIP....
race ,color,caste,religion all comes after. THe initial spark when we first see her, talk to her don't care about religion, race and other things.it only cares about talkin to her, seeing her,knowing her for the first time. CHERISH thAT MOMENT... IF IT is strong enough to spark LOVE,, DEN U WILL NOT CARE ABOUT RACE ...,, U Will Do Anything to Be With Her... SO LOVE IS ALL THAT MATTERS,, LOVE AND BE LOVED..... PEACE To all the peoples,,, we all have differences,,, we all are different in some ways,, but LOve is d bonding that has bound us together as humans.... we overcome our differences by respecting each other,, knowing about each other,, which makes us incredible... all modern societies have all kinds of people,, dey coexist to make earth a better place for living... respect all...,,, love and be loved...,, peace... dere is a old saying.... United we stand and divided we fall... |

Sorry for the long reply, I'm very wordy when something intrigues me. maybe they are, but as with everything else I think if you feel the need to constantly define really any aspect of yourself, looks, relationship, life, that what you're defining loses value. . ever hear good looking people talk about how they "are so hot"?....it's self-serving. and puts a bad taste in your mouth ever hear rich people talk about how rich they are? it's in bad taste and again is self-serving. you can be proud to be in an interracial relationship, just like you can be proud to be dating a really good looking person. But for me if that's how you define the relationship I assume it's a very shallow relationship. I.e "dude, the girl im seeing has a banging body! " once is fine, but if EVERY time you talk about your significant other you feel the need to mention how good looking, how rich, or even that it's interracial I roll my eyes because it's really not about the other person (which in relationships it should be) it's about you and how YOU sre different or great or whatever. If you really want to be different show it by your actions, no need to constantly verbalize how different you are, and if they feel that needd I'd be willing to bet that they will have MANY if those relationships but I'd doubt any would last long-term |

I have a friend who's always bragging about how wonderful her life is and after a while it seems like she's only doing it to validate herself and to convince herself that she really is happy and not miserable, and to make other people feel bad about their lives. I think a lot of people who do that in regards to race have a fetish, which is a form of racism in my opionion It'd be nice if we really could become a society that valued people for who they are (honestly, not as a form of fashion and what you should say in order to be polite) instead of what they look like, but I don't see that happening anytime soon, at least not in my lifetime. Oh well.... |
