    I dated an Indian girl for over a year when I was at school in England. It didn't last though - she had an arranged marriage back in India and her Dad didn't like me at all. In fact, we kept the whole thing a secret from him. We weren't really friends before we started dating - we were just two kids who didn't really think about the race thing. (Until her dad made such a big issue out of it :mad: )

      Not true at all for me - having limited choices as it is, why should I narrow down the selection pool any further? :-D However your point is legitimate - a lot of people still have problems with interracial relations... especially between whites and blacks. If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.

We haven't gotten very far in 1200-1500 years. For some reason, I don't think we will get much further in the next 1500 years either. Marc Latest AAL Article My blog Join my forum!

                  from a Natural History / Selection point of view, mates of different races should probably be the hottest / most attractive / schweet! there are - since their genetic predispositions, strengths, and natural resilience are the most different from yours then your children will have the MOST benefit from both gene trees. They will be the smartest and healtiest they possibly could be. GO FOR IT! ;-)

                      I don't know why you were voted down (and I guess I'll be too, but..) Guess cultural differences play a major part here. The mating ritual is complicated enough that even the small differences between "caucasians" can be a problem. Another issue is that in many places where colors mix, there's an clear social hierarchy that correlates with color. It's easy to say not to care what others say, but when you can mail-order a russian bride, people will assume you did for getting no other and she did for getting to germany - this does put pressure on a relationship. Third, people flock together in their groups. Culture, again.

                          I was trying to come u p with this, but from the other side. Typically we "stick to our own" because of what is comfortable and is easier. It's not a rule, it's just a natural trait to become involved with a person you have a great deal in common with. This typically means same religion, or culture, or financial background, or whatever else you can think of. Obviously, there are countless cases where this doesn't apply. There are also plenty of people who date people from other backgrounds, who then end out marrying someone closer to their own upbringing.

I wish SA would hurry up with that sort of intergration, so we could all just be South Africans. Considering it's only eyesight, one of 5 senses, which alerts us to the difference and causes so many people so much distress, it's really very sad. I'm sure there are people all over the world who feel the same way about their own nationalities. As for the mongrel blood - diversity is our greatest strength. I see this at my current job, where I'm a white woman on a team with a Nigerian (the boss) and a guy from Bangladesh. We all have our own ways of tackling the same problem, which is very beneficial. From a purely biological point of view, look at the problems pedigree dogs have, as opposed to the strength mongrel dogs have. Yep, I believe intergration of the races would be very beneficial.

Because from the looks of things no white person seems to go for a colored person in the love-at-first-sight mode (and vice versa - means same for colored people). Seems to me that if at all white-black or white-asian couples come up, it came up when a really close friendship dissolved into love. Nish

                                      Nope. Women from other races/nationalities/suberbs are HOT! (except for English women of course)

                                        Maybe he meant english-speaking women. If there is one thing worse than listening to non-stop "yapping" - it's understanding it. ;P *Mike dons flame-retardant underwear* Mike Mullikin O.E.I. Beauty is only a lightswitch away.
