    Default Do you believe in Interracial marriage?

    Intermarriage by ethnic groups


    [edit] Native American and Asian

    Historically, Filipino Americans have frequently married Native American and Alaskan Native people. In the 17th century, Filipinos were under Spanish rule. The Spanish colonists ordered the Filipinos to trade between the Philippines and the Americas. When Mexico revolted against the Spanish, Filipinos escaped into Mexico, then traveled to Louisiana, where the exclusively male Filipinos married Native American women. In the 1920s, Filipino American communities grew in Alaska, and Filipino American men married Alaskan Native women. On the west coast, Filipino Americans married Native American women in Bainbridge Island Washington.[4]

    [edit] Asian and White

    Marriages between whites and Asians are becoming increasingly common for both gender combinations (Lange, 2005). In 1990, about 69 percent of married GSGSDFGVBDFGBDFCX18-30 year-old Asian women were married to Asian men, while 25 percent of married Asian women had white husbands. [5] In 2006, 50 percent of U.S.-raised, married Asian women were married to Asian men, while 41 percent of U.S.-raised, married Asian women had white husbands. 60 percent of U.S.-raised married Asian men were married to Asian women, while 30 percent of U.S.-raised, married Asian men had white wives (2006 U.S. Census Bureau). C.N. Le estimated that the gender gap is smaller among the American-born or 1.5 generation Asian Americans.[6] Asian Americans of both genders who are U.S.-raised are much more likely to be married with whites than their non-U.S.-raised counterparts. Not all Asian ethnicities have similar intermarriage patterns, for instance, South Asian Americans were overwhelmingly endogamous, with a small amount of outmarriage to other ethnic groups. The interracial marriage disparity for South Asian Americans was low with outmarriage to whites slightly higher for Indian American males whereas all other major Asian groups had more outmarriage for women.[6] A 2001 U.S. national survey conducted by Yankelovich Partners in collaboration with the Anti-Defamation League indicated that 24% of the respondents disapprove of marriage with an Asian American. [7]




    Black and White



    Although mixed-race partnering has increased, the United States still shows disparities between African American male and African American female endogamy statistics. The 1990 census reports that 17.6% of African American marriages occur with White Americans. Yet, African American men are 2.6 times more likely to be married to White American women than African American women to White American men. In the 2000 census, 239,477 African American male to White American female and 95,831 European American male to African American female marriages were recorded, again showing the 2.5-1 ratio. In 2007, black-white marriage remains a rare event: 4.6% of married Blacks marry whites, and 0.4% of married whites marry blacks.[8]

    Race has nothing to do with anything, of course I am for interracial marriage. Is this a troll topic?

    One species. "Race" consists simply of adaptations to environmental conditions.

    When a man or a woman love each other so much that they are willing to spend the rest of their lives together, they should be able to do so.

    By the way, I will not be drawn into a discussion about homosexual marriage ...

    And what if she decides anyway, because she's an adult? What are you going to do? Kill the husband?

    No,No,No you got me wrong. I mean I am fine with Asian male or white male marrying to Asian female or white female because when they have babies it willl be Light skin. But If a asian or white Gene marrying to Darker skins its kinda wrong.... You see. I am not racist By the way.

    Racist: predjudice against people of other races, eg when someone thinks it is bad when someone has dark skin.

    Facist: someone whoconsiders the individual subordinate must contribute to the interests of the society, therefore premoting a type of national unity, based on (but not limited to) ethnic, cultural, and or racial purity.

    Put it this way, if what you think is 'kinda wrong' was implemented as a rule in society, i would most likely not be here, and if i was, my very existance would be subject to dissaproval and resentment among the more acceptable member of society.

    How do you think that makes me feel? You have never met me, you don't know me but you can already label me as 'kinda wrong'? Just because of something that is entirely out of my control, i am to be treated as some kind of failed experiment because of your beleifs?

    I admit that was taking a simple rumination of yours to its absolute extreme and you no doubt do not beleive that at all, but i was just showing you that it it those precise ideas that lead to the situation above.

    I hope you will at least consider your viewpoint from the victim's point of view and see it as i see it. Until then, no hard feelings
    A new mobile phone tower went up in a town in the USA, and the local newspaper asked a number of people what they thought of it. Some said they noticed their cellphone reception was better. Some said they noticed the tower was affecting their health.

    A local administrator was asked to comment. He nodded sagely, and said simply: "Wow. And think about how much more pronounced these effects will be once the tower is actually operational."

    I myself prefer black women, but really it doesn't matter.

    Except when it involves two men, or a hermaphrodite and a man/woman. Homosexuals, transexuals, and hermaphrodites should not be allowed to marry because conservatives say so (They trademarked marriage, IIRC).

    I think you're talking about an idea rather widespread in some countries that if the child has a whiter skin than the parent then the child would have a better chance at being successful in that society. For instance I've heard this many times when I was in Brazil. And my impression from what I saw on the street was that for every black man - white woman couple there were 5 white man - black woman couples. So in Brazil the statistics "on the street" (not in a scientific study mind you) seem to be the opposite of the ones in US.

    However here's the thing: in Brazil the black women were those who seemed to think like that the most. The white men who were dating/marring them didn't share the view that a child with a darker skin is at disadvantage. Otherwise they would have refrained from dating them, wouldn't have they?

    The official statistics show that in Brazil the population is about 50% white and 50% black and "pardo" (a Portuguese word indicating a darker skin equivalent to the English mulatto), with the people who self-identify as black around 7%. Those statistics seem to indicate the white population intermarried (and still does) big time with the black one. So what you seem to be puzzled about is actually puzzling you because you are looking at the issue only from the point of view of those black women who say they're marrying white men in order to have children with a lighter color of the skin. You don't take into account the other point of view, that white men and Asian men might find black women attractive and might not think their children would be at disadvantage. Or might not think about children at all

    This I highly doubt.
    Your statement that interracial marriage between whites and blacks is wrong indicates to me that you are racist or at least racially-motivated.
    You do realise that regardless of skin colour, language, or ethnicity, we are all the same species? We are all humans.

    Interestingly, the marriage-like tradition of handfasting, which was originally Gaelic but is also prominent in Wicca and other neopagan religions, carries an option of it being a contract for a year and a day, upon which it can be renewed or ended. A very simple, but flexible idea.

    Of course! I mean, it goes totally without saying! Not a racist bone in your body, quite clearly!

    So anyway, how was that lynching you went to last week?

    What the heck is wrong with you?That is the very definition of racist. And why dont you clarify on how it is "kinda wrong"?

    Being the product of interracial marriage I gotta say I'm all for it. Although I do get confused with double standards ie whites and blacks intermarrying or desire by some groups to keep their group pure.

    I dated a black girl in college and got nothing but grief for it , from black males in particular.
    I find most people irritating
