If you notice...there are more young interracial couples. Highschool/College age. But when young adults hit their mid twenties, they throw that experimenting in the bushes and find someone of their own race.

How many people in interracial relationships from your highschool or college are now in a same race relationship?

Look at this chart...

When you post, I'm interested in your answer.

I know that with white men, a lot of the time it has to do with a superiority complex that comes with racism. They see someone that they see as "undeserving" of a white woman because by having darker skin, you're not worthy to date "their" women.

It can feel like it sucks sometimes to be thought of as "inferior," but being the quintessential optimist, I try to see the silver lining in this. If I'm given the motivation to do really well in life because people see me as someone that really has to prove themselves to be seen as worthy to date anyone in the gene pool, I'll take all the motivational fuel that I can get. There's something particularly satisfying about receiving the begrudging respect of someone who would normally go out of their way to think less of you.

Overcoming that lower part of the brain that motivates hatred and prejudice is hard, so when it gets done it's incredibly satisfying.
I think racism still plays a part in it, but I think its the power struggle that is what bothers them more.

We are witnessing a massive shift that older people just cannot accept and the pieces are finally starting to crumble for a large percentage of the older heads. I constantly have to remind some of those who are in their late 20's and grew up with racist parents that the reality of the situation is that their parents are in the wrong here. They might have had statistics to back up their claims in the 50's, 60's, and even 70's, but that has changed drastically in the last 25 or so years. Its only going to get "worse" or "better' depending on what side you sit on.

Fair enough... I guess that I see sex as something that's a part of something involving love or at least pure fun rather than a power struggle.

Question: Why do you have to date/marry someone of your "own race"?

Race/skin color is such a superficial difference/similarity. I'm sure there are black women I have, absolutely, nothing in common with. But, I'm suppose to settle (I don't mean that disrespectfully--I got no beef with black women) with a female who has the same "race," something that is socially manufactured.

Someone will come in here and tell you "No it's only when you degrade black women is when it's wrong." It's right as long you don't throw black women under the bus the moment u do it is now wrong. :manny:

It depends on why the person is angry.

Generally if someone just gets mad at seeing someone outside with someone from a different race its definitely a power issue. Especially if its a white woman with a black or hispanic man.

If its a woman you want or love and find out she is now seeing someone either outside her race or a different race than you it triggers an emotional response and it is in our nature to try to rationalize why she made that decision. The easiest way is to attribute it to race or status. Your soul is crushed if you are a black man and the black woman you have been after decides that she is going to go with a white man you might be inclined to say the funny, but sometimes true...oh it's because he is white and has this or that right?

Women are a bit more emotional when it comes to these things because society has made them believe that they need a man to survive and thrive. Don't let the ones who keep screaming "I DON'T NEED A MAN" fool you, underneath it all is them trying to protect themselves.

We are still very simple.

lol...my questions is, where did I say that you have to marry someone of your own race. I just made an observation an then gave an opinion.

I don't think people have to marry within their race, I think that as people get older the pressure from society and the older people in their family will discourage people from being in interracial relationships.

I also feel that society molds our minds to the point where you may have friends of other races at a young age and as you get older you see how their attitudes towards race changes for the worse.

I de-friended a few FB friends who I was friends with in highschool because they showed racist behavior on FB. Guys who I KNOW did not feel this way when we were young and in highschool.

sta·tis·tic
   [stuh-tis-tik] Show IPA
noun Statistics .
a numerical fact or datum, especially one computed from a sample.

When did "most" = statistic...did I miss something?

Also, when did I say people should stop interracial dating?
