Interracial dating is very common here in Vancouver. In the schools you will find biracial children are becoming more and more common. The three largest ethnic groups are caucasian, asian, and southeast asian (Indo-Canadian). Unfortunately for me, I am interested in dating black men and that's a bit harder. I think this city is, for the most part, very accepting. In the West End, same-sex couples comfortably walk around holding hands and no one thinks anything of it. Since I live in the downtown core, I'm not sure if people living in the suburbs are quite as accepting. I still think that people belonging to the more traditional cultures (Chinese and especially Indo-Canadian) are less likely to marry outside of their cultural backgrounds. Times are continuing to change though and it really depends on what generation you are. Personally I would be more inclined to notice the stares of others if the person I was with had bad manners or was just loud and obnoxious. If someone stares at me because of the ethnicity of the person I'm with, I really couldn't care less.
I already like you as a person...like the way you think.

I grew up in Toronto, Canada where is very commonplace to see interracial couples (man/woman vs. woman/men) because it is a very multicultural city. So when I moved to Columbus, Ohio, I was (and still am) open to dating someone from outside my race. To me its the quality of the person that counts right! But what I am noticing is that you will see black man/white women couples but not so much of the opposite. I also experienced this alot in the online world too, whereby I would contact a white gentleman who I thought was cute and he did not respond to my communication. I don't think the white men here are interested in interracial dating.....


Hi, Netaboo ~


Yes, I've heard that Toronto is beaustufully diverse. Ohio can be a real culture shock after that!


Two things I want to say in response ot your post -- one thing I notice is that there is a CLEAR difference that comes with age. In those who are about 35 and older, most black/white mised couples are black man/white woman, (my brother and his wife being a notable exception, and there are certainly others as well.) However, with the 35 and down crowd, there are more and more white men who are loving the sistahs without reservation.


The other thing is, that while I haven't had any trouble finding black men who are interested in dating me as a white woman, there are at LEAST twice as many brothahs who won't give me the tiem of day, soley because I am pink. (Some have been bold enough to tell me that, and I appreciate the honesty.)


I have a few more thoughts, but I'll share them in another post. All that to say though... the right man will love and crave you, regardless of what wrapper he comes in. May you find one another soon! [img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif[/img]
Hi Jazma...I'm not sure if I understand your reference to you being or called 'pink'. Please explain.

I do not see a lot of black-caucasian couples in Washington D.C. Lots of mean stares and ugly attitudes when we go out, especially from the brothers and sometimes older caucasian women. The subways are the worst for this type of thing.


And it has only been 2 months..


My BF is very supportive through, knowing this is my 1st interracial relationship, so I believe we'll get through it.




I understand btu coming from a black man, I say stay in there and you really care aboutyour BF (I assume you do) then forget about those others...Enjoy each other...life it too short to worry about what other people may think.

But that's the catch right there. For most, they can't get past the obivious first to get to know the person and their mind and they spend way too much time worrying about what others will think.


I have a question for all......Is it more acceptable in societyfor someone white to date other races other than black? If yes, why?

Hey Java,

Just like you I live in Columbia, MD and overall interracial couples are very well recieved and I have never experienced any problems at all. In response to you questions above I would have to say yes its more acceptable and here is one example. I have two korean friends of mine that i have known for years when the youngest brother started dating a mutual friend who happen to be a white female both families were ok with it and excited about it. What i found interesting is the reaction from my Koreans friend family. You would have thought they hit the jackpot because the son was dating a white women. As time went by my friend had told me the white females family had no problem with her dating an Asian guy however didn't approve her dating black men. So yes i think a double standard has always existed. NOt sure about your experiences but overall anytime a black female or male dates someone of another race SH"""T hits the fan but if its another race then most of the time the family has no problem with it as long as the person is not black.

Just my opinion.

Houston is considered to be a melting pot, as it comprises many races of people and multiple ethnic groups. Interracial dating is commonplace as is homosexual couples. I am sure that there are some who would rather otherwise, though.

In NYC, you're far more likely to see professional black men and women date non-black women and men respectively. Asian women "seem" to prefer caucasion guys over everyone else (especially Chinese). Thug-type black men are primarily with poor and young black chics. I think Latin men and women are the only ones who prefer to stay with Latin women and men respectively. (SAD!)

I live in the Houston, TX area, and there are some interracial dating. I personally date interracially. I like to find people who have things in common with me. Typically african americans don't have a lot in common with me. It all has to do with the way I was raised and lived during my life.

What I would like to know is that I man really wants to seriously date me, and not just because I am convenient for the time.
