<p>I’m an Indian guy. I’m dating a white girl.</p>
<p>I’m fine with interracial relationships. I don’t see the problem…</p>
<p>@Putturani: No, Ramayana is a legendary traditional performance, as is Mahabharata. We don’t believe in them; we just watch and study them like you study Macbeth and other English literature. I personally like the dance, really needs advanced dancing skills and a willing heart to master. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Seems like folks like us are pretty common 'round these parts.</p>
<p>My mom is ok with me marrying anyone but a black person… and I’m asian.</p>
<p>I’m Persian, and like, I do think a lot of Persian guys are hot, but like my obsession with black guys is unhealthy. I’m also into some Hispanic guys and some white guys.
My parents are way against the idea of me marrying anyone but a Muslim Persian guy, though they would probably budge for a Persian guy of some other religion. I don’t know though, like they know I like black guys but I don’t think they get that I would actually marry one…</p>
<p>I know which religion my parents would hate most - old grudges including one where my great-grandpa was almost killed so they have their reasons I guess. @Monochrome - cool. I love the dolls and the puppets which they make, very intricate</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>My mom wouldn’t like it if I marry out of my race, but if I do, she’ll deal with it. But she would absolutely go ballistic if I married a black or a middle eastern (muslim) girl… =[</p>
<p>^Amen. I dunno why some Indians are so racist though, we’re not exactly milk-coloured ourselves. I think, for some of my family, the really traditional people (not all of them) all foreigners are equally bad except for a certain type which is even worse. lol</p>

<p>Considering they left and went to HK, how conservative can they be? Or are you talking about family back in India?</p>
<p>There are certain groups of people my mom wouldn’t want me to marry, but I wouldn’t ever want to marry anyone of those groups anyway, so no conflict.</p>
<p>^LoL they probably moved to HK for job purposes…the Indians I know usually will do almost anything they can for money. </p>
<p>I honestly believe I could get away with an interracial marriage with minimal familial confrontations if my future spouse was plain rich lol.</p>
<p>The biggest problem my mom has about me marrying outside my race is the communication issue, seeing as she isn’t a very confident English speaker and won’t get to be close to the man or his family. Which I suppose, would be irritating and difficult.
I don’t know if this makes me a discriminating, shallow biitch, but I would like to marry someone who is either from my native country (or partly, which if fine), I guess it is because most people in my country do and I was raised that way.
Nevertheless I don’t let the race/ethnicity decide whether or not I am attracted to or want to get to know a person.</p>

<p>Famiily back in India. Distant family. The people who matter would PREFER that I marry someone of my own community but they’re ultimate stance is: “Whatever brings you long-term happiness dear>” They’re really sweet that way. And anyway I share some of their concerns, like how can you marry someone who believes that you and your entire family will go to hell because of your religion? but then, that boils down to that person’s individual beliefs (how fundamentalist they are) so you can’t generalize based on religion. </p>
<p>And John, no they’re not the types who do almost anything for money. :|</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hahaha, u just described me 
Since in my culture/religion, a muslim girl can’t really marry outside of her religion 
(but guys can lol…)</p>
<p>But i have a feeling that my parents might get upset if i brought home a mexican or jewish(especially) or an atheist…maybe even hindu guy(probably not…but maybe…lol).</p>
<p>i’d probably date or even marry guys of other races, just to **** my parents off…
they’d be pretty mad if i did, really. But I don’t mind dating outside of my race, and i don’t have a religion, and if the guy is decent, cute and funny, why bother with race? I guess i share the opinion of the majority, people can date whoever they want to date.
“legit” Korean here lol</p>
<p>nothin but white touches this body</p>
<p>I think, it’s not so much to do with race/religion than individual values. A person of a different religion can be tolerant and share your values towards life whereas someone of your own denomination may scoff at your religion practices.</p>
<p>That may be true, but it’s also a matter of certain religions requiring children to be raised in that faith, which would have nothing to do with personal values and everything to do with religion.</p>
<p>I, a white guy, have only had interracial relationships so far.</p>
<p>Do I have to take a stand? It seems to me that it’s none of my business.</p>
<p>^

I partly agree. It all depends on how devout or orthodox people are, on the matter of raising their children in that faith and the need they feel about converting their spouses.
(no, by spouses, I don’t mean polygamy 
no offense)</p>
<p>Eh, so far, I haven’t really had a serious relationship, but I do approve of interracial relationships as long as both ppl feel fine :)</p>
