Me I haven't found anyone outside or inside my race. I'm white BTW. I don't care just as long as they're cool, nice and add up to intellectual status. If you know what I mean.

Why would I care which race it is... It's not like you're dating something else I mean it's a human just like the rest of us all...

I haven't dated anyone outside my ethnicity yet--well frankly, I haven't even dated at all. But living in such a culturally diverse place such as my city/county, I think I would have high chances of dating someone who does not have the same ethnic background as I do. It doesn't really matter to me, plus, PLUS, the baby would be GORGEOUS. Usually. Lol, that's what my mom always says about interracial children.

I've dated outside of my race, and I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I met the guy in Maryland though, so I doubt I'll be dating outside of my race where I live. There isn't much diversity down here.

My current girlfriend is white... Odds are we'll be together for quite a while.
I've nothing against interracial couples, but at the same time, I'm not going to hunt down somebody from a different region of the world just to be "ahead of the cut" so to speak.
I just think you love who you love and that's all that matters.

I'm mix so technically anybody I date will be out of my "race". I'll be honest though I do go look for other mix kids to date. So I don't blame one ethnicity people for wanting to date among themselves.

Well... I don't really consider race as a criteria. I mean, I seriously could care less, although I do tend to stay away from my own race. If I like a guy, then I like him. I'm not going to dismiss him just because he's not the race I want him to be.

Well I'm predominantly African-American, but I have European and Native American genes in my blood as well. I don't have a problem with interracial relationships and I hope the diversity will continue to grow. However, there are problems that tend to arise from these relationships, perhaps the number one problem being approval from family. Sometimes it becomes so serious, parents and their children may end up not talking to each other for years. (Maybe even for the rest of their lives in some cases.) These are the things people may have to consider if they decide to marry someone of a different race.
Of course speaking for myself, I fell head over heals for a girl of Asian descent my freshmen year in high school. (I don't know for sure but due to her surname, she probably was Chinese.) I was way too shy to talk to her at the time, probably due to her being a junior and I was never good at talking to girls I liked, however I couldn't help but admire her from a distance and it's possible that she noticed me at times. Her race never was a serious issue with me, but I always wondered how our families would react if we did start to date one another.
Sad to say, even with two years of opportunity, I was never brave enough to actually talk to her. Even till this day, I think about her all the time and what future we could or could not have together, but maybe it was for the better because there was a good chance that her parents would not have accepted me. I wouldn't want to put her in a situation where she couldn't get along with her family and perhaps never speak to them again.
Anyway, my point is for those who want to date and marry outside their race, make sure you are prepared to handle any type of backlash from family members. (I could care less for people who do not know me and turning their heads, but family always hit home.)

Hmm, interesting question indeed! As for myself, yes, I have dated numerous different types of guys, it never mattered to me what their race, creed, religion, or whatever was. The only thing that I think should matter is if you both feel good together! Noone should date/not date someone just because it's socially correct or not, we all bleed red blood if we are cut, we are all of the same race which is human! Besides, you wouldn't want to eat the same type of ice cream every single day and pronounce that to be your favorite without at least trying some other flavors right?

Well, it's pretty hard to find diversity where I live (I think we're... 94% white?), but yeah. I've got no problem dating out of my race. There are a lot of great guys in every race, and I'm not about to pass one by just because he's got a different skin color than me.

My school, and town for that matter, is mostly made up of white, Hispanic, and African American people.
I probably wouldn't date out of my race, I know that sounds awful, but you have to know the Hispanics, and African Americans in my town. Most of them are just trying to get with the white girls because they want to mooch off of us, and they only want one other thing from us, and I'm sure you can guess what that is.
I mean some of them are pretty cool as friends, but I wouldn't date them.
I am not saying all of them are that way though, there is one in a million who's not. Like this guy friend of mine, he's African American, and he's extremely nice, sweet, and clean cut. When I say "clean cut" I mean he doesn't dress like a playa and doesn't dress in huge clothes that practically hang off his body.

It throughly depends on the race of the person in question......... I'm in no way racist and I have nothing against anyone who is another race but I don't usually find ppl who arn't white causasian attractive in that way....... There are some exceptions though I like a few Maori men and Thierry Dusautoir and Jason Robinson.........
