what do you think about interracial relationships

i'm Caucasian and i don't agree with it., i think people should stick to their own race. i've always thought that, nowadays IR is a very common thing.

Ideally people should. You can potentially create genocide affects by people not dating their own very specific race.

So it would be ideal for numbers of every race to be high, in case of some catastrophic event.

However on a realistic level, people are going to go where they’re wanted. If someone is lonely and someone else comes along and pays attention to them. They will go where they feel love exists.

I don’t think people are too worried about what their future potential partner looks like physically in terms of race. People want to be loved more than anything. And the less love a person feels they have in their life, the less picky people become, and the more they branch out. Even if they believed in such idealisms.

I think we don't get to choose who we fall in love with it's a chemical thing. I'm ok with interracial marriages.

Is that uncommon in Guernsey? So, if a friend or a family member is in such a relationship, what kind of pressures would they be going through? It's kinda like ingroup bias in dating. It exists. So, I asked the question to the author. It's an academic question.

...but don't expect an answer from the author because he asks plenty of questions, but he doesn't typically participate in his own threads thereafter.

I suspect you really mean is it OK for white people to have relationships with non-white people.

The trouble being that "race" is a very fluid concept which is continually manipulated by populist politicians and other bad actors. In my family's recent history there have been numerous occasions on which our Celtic and East European roots would have placed us outside the majority social group.

But hey, I look white, so I could probably get away with it nowadays.

Love is love, who’s to judge?

Did you send out a DNA kit for analysis, and based on that you will only marry within your true race? They would need to qualify their genetic testing? To each their own.

There is one race, human, different nationalities. Different skin colors, that is 15+ cells thick. You remove the skin, we are all the same, either male or female and we all bleed red!

You don’t agree?
You make it sound like a bad soup!
What is there to think about it ? Up to them what to do and who with, as long as between adults.

When they love each other what’s wrong with it
don't care. I walk around with blinders on sticking to my own affairs.

If it's about preserving the white race, interracial relationships aren't really a threat. There are more white people alive today than at any other point in history, and interracial marriages are still pretty rare. The big threat to the white race is pollution.

Also, WMAF raceplay is hot.

@BohoBabe

It's probably just higher considering peoples' self-classification. If we include all unions, not just of wedlock, we're probably looking more around 40-45% at this time. You may be older, but I'm around a lot of young and they are mixing like crazy🤣🤣

Also, it make sense the rates would be lower in (most) other countries since the populations are more homogeneous. That will change more slowly ... except of course in Europe, which is less homogeneous and is changing almost as fast as the US (and faster in some regions.) I also can't agree that Natives or Semites are Caucasian, although I know in the US they used to often be considered to be in metropolitan areas... but metro areas aren't most areas.

Anyone concerned about "preserving" the white race (or any other race for that matter) is kidding themselves. Humans have been mixed for far too long now.

@Magicianzini I'm pretty young. I do see mixing, but it's still the exception, not the rule. Plus I've lived in America and Germany, it's much more rare in Europe.

Europe is only becoming multiracial in the big cities, which was bound to happen. Keep in mind, most immigration in Europe is between European countries. And while migrants tend to have higher birthrates, their birthrates drop as they assimilate.

So if an Arab has the European phenotype, you wouldn't consider that person white? Why not?

Well it depends how you view race. If you believe in the one-drop rule, then the white race is already extinct. I care more about phenotypes. If a white person is like 6% black, I'm still going to consider them white.
@BohoBabe

Yes, it's definitely not the rule ... well, in most areas. There are some select areas where I've met many who claim it is. Usually metros, usually the very young (adolescent). Migrants having lower birthrates as assimilating isn't what I've seen in the US. Many never even assimilate. Still, kids are expensive and I could see that being the expected result. I would need to study the stats on that though.

Arabs are Semites, there are no European phenotypes to this. We may have differing ideas of what an Arab is. That would be the only variation. And why not? The same reason I couldn't consider anyone else who wasn't white to be white or someone who wasn't black to be black etc.

That's an interesting POV. It makes me wonder where your percentage "cut-off" would land LMAO until you considered someone something else other than one race specifically ... because of course there must be a cut-off point if you, yourself, have these definitions.

Its up to the individuals

Of themselves, interracial relationships don't actually exist if you approach the situation with your eyes closed. What I mean is, with your eyes closed, you don't actually know what color the other person is who's holding you because all Races feel almost the same in the physical world.

I could be argued that miscegenation is ultimately genocide.
