why there are still taboos for interracial dating? Or people just jealous when they see me with an ebony or black woman? As for me, they are the most beautiful...

Could be a political issue. Many countries in Europe are having issues with refugees/immigrants who are people of color. They begin to see all people as part of that problem if they are not white.

Could be cultural. While many European cities are fine with tourists of all colors vacationing in their neighborhood (which brings $$), the people of
the country themselves are homogeneous and don't welcome inter-marriage and reproduction with people outside of the country's main ethnic group.

-Its funny how technically the phrase "human race" almost implies that we are all the same and saying that you are going to date outside of your race is like saying you are going to date a monkey or something.noway lol

Wow....lovely compliment. They say the heart wants what the heart wants. I am attracted to white men. It is sad that in this day and age we still have people who are against IR relationships.

Sadly no matter how simple we want it to be it isn't. Society will not allow it. If you can remember that, accept it and deal with it, you should be okay.

Very true, In this day and age, still in South Africa we face this challenge as well. So it's not simple at all. I have learnt to just let things be what they will be.

Are you serious that there are societal taboos about interracial couples? Not my world. IMO we have another generation or two before the majority of humans are mixed race. Ethnicity is nowhere in my criteria for a suitable partner.

I'm a proud product of an interracial couple/marriage and so it's not a bad thing at all plus we're all mixed with something anyways so it doesnt really matter who you date as long as you love them for who they are and how they make you feel nothing else matters because nothing can stop unconditional love

Strange? You are very kind, sir.

I would like to say "Lots of people are racists, including a few here in the forums."
... but I won't say it as a number of my posts against racists were deleted.

Have a nice day

People have their beliefs about what constitutes 'their own' and their beliefs about keeping 'their own' bloodlines strong. They want to marry within their culture, or their religion, or their race, they want to carry on their race with their children.

If people do not put their hands on you or speak out of turn to you and yours, I would not even give it a second thought, especially if you are happy in your own choice of partner. Everyone does not have to like or agree with it. All any one should be expected to do is respect that it is your choice.

There are still taboos because cultures have taught their younger generations that there are differences based on race. Fortunately, it's these cultural taboos that are slowly being erased.

When you grow up in a culture/family that mistreats women/girls, that's what you learn. When you are raised in a culture/family that expresses understanding across racial lines, that is what you learn.

I've grown up around pretty much every race so color was never an issue in my book. I think people are more worried about what their family or friends will think of them rather than just being with who they want to be with. Its your life so live it!!

I'm not racist but this seems like a bad situation:

This is right from the CDC website and the most recent figures (2017):

Chlamydia - Negro women are 5 X more likely to have it than whites
Negro men are 6.6 X more likely
Gonorrhea - Negro women are 7.6 X more likely to have it than whites
Negro men are 8.9 X more likely than whites
Syphilis - Negro women are 5.2 X more likely than whites to have it than whites
Negro men are 4.5 X more likely than white men

Of course these figures are for the US and I have no idea what they'd be in ahh England for example.

But why is this?

Looked at another way, Chlamydia rates for BW are 1.4% and for BM 0.9 percent

Gonorrhea rates for BW are .044% and for BM .066%

Syphillis rates for BW are .006% and for BM .03%

...so chances of catching it are still very low


Some reasons for the disparities are listed here
