There are pros and cons of interracial relationships.
Pros:-1)Hybrid vigor. The child inherits the best of both parents genetics
2)Child grows up in a unique environment whereby he can learn two or more languages
growing up. I.e if the parents are German-Japanese or any other possible combinations
3)Able to explore each other's unique cultural perspective. Couples must respect their
spouse's point of view. Inability to do this will eventually lead to major heartbreak
Cons:-1)Resistance from parents. This is completely natural human reaction to preserve one's
culture and tradition. So the parents cannot be shamed for this.I.e if an Indian boy
marry a White girl, the boy's side might be skeptical of the girls' ability to grasp
and appreciate Indian culture
2) Inability for one of the couple to tolerate other's culture. Again this is not
inherently bad. A conservative Chinese girl might be uneasy to follow her White
husbands' carefree and relaxed lifestyle.
In conclusion, for an interracial relationship to become successful, there must be lots of heart to heart talk, tolerance and empathy. If you blindly follow your lust, that is a recipe for epic disaster.

This is an interesting topic. I'm bi-racial and my boyfriend is white (German). I spent the majority of my childhood in the US, and he is European and grew up in Germany; so we have the race and cultural differences. It's fascinating to see the reception of it in Europe vs. US. When we come visit my family in the US, people give looks and he notices that and finds it very strange. Whereas in Europe, nothing of the sort happens. In East Europe it is a bit different, I lived in Romania for a while and when I showed my friends my boyfriend, they were quite surprised he was white. They were nice about it and we've never really had strange looks there either. Overall our relationship is awesome so people can look lol.
