^Amen to that. My parents tease me all the time about how I'm going to marry a white man someday but they really don't care since no one at my home were raised up on bigotry. Thank God too cuz diversity rocks.

^ I've seen that movie and I think I understand what that's all about. It's about tradition and culture, right?

^ Yep, it gets annoying but *shruggs*. I'll live and if I do end up dating a guy from a different race I'll be sure to try my hardest to convince my parents to let me(first I have to convince them to let me date!).

^ I know whatcha mean on the convincing to date part. If I were to be dating right now, my boyfriend would've been Paraguayan because he was the last guy I liked and he liked me too. Oh well.

I agree the whole parent thing could be an issue. I was friends with this gu and it was kinda obvious that we wanted to be more than friends but because of our different backgrounds that wasn't really possible. His parents weren't racist they have alot of friends like me and i belive them but they would prefer that their sun marry in the culture, So ya it did hurt for a while but we're cool now and we've both moved on.

^ That's good. Yeah, that's a complicated thing. It's not really racist but more of culture and....yeah. It's good that you moved on and are cool with each other.

But this doesn't apply to all situations but to most, to enough

Some say interracial dating is better than dating within your own race. Of course there will be negative sides to it, but then there are positive ones, too. As certain genes that would only become more dominant, might not do so, which could very well be a good thing in some situations.
As for me I don't really care. Ive been attrated to members that were hispanic, mexican/spanish, italian, asian, and so forth. D: It doesn't really matter to me, plus, PLUS, the baby would be GORGEOUS. Usually.

I really don't care the race, as long it's a girl I'm perfectly fine with it

I'll confess that I am utterly uneducated about Greek culture, so perhaps there is something I'm missing. I hope so, because your statement worries me. The KKK were built upon "tradition and culture." The Nazis were built upon "tradition and culture." I'm not saying your parents are Klansmen or Nazis(as Greeks, they'd have a hard time being either), but you are not convincing me that your parents are not racist. If your culture and tradition states you cannot marry someone outside of your race, then I think that qualifies as racism.

Well all I can say is, if you surely can't marry outside your own race, good luck finding a good Greek man! But at the same time, I would totally freak if I couldn't date outside my own race/ethinicty! And pardon me for asking such a stupid question, but Greeks are a different race from a typical European? In English, they're not white?

I'm not exactly 'dating' per se, but yes, I think dating outside your race is fine, it just depends on who you find.
