Yup. If it were not an issue for jewz and other race traitor trash, there would be no need for this social engineering. :box: I'll bet a kike wrote this article and is going by her pen name.

Mixed-Race Dating: The Final Frontier?

19/10/2006 1:11:00 PM

Asked to name bi-racial couples in celebrity news, I blurt out a few names but it's a pretty compact list. Or is it? Forty years ago, in some U.S. states, you may have been thrown in jail for going to the drive-in with your wife if her skin was a different color from your own. Today's society still harbors hang-ups about cross-cultural couples.

When asked to name bi-racial couples in celebrity news, I blurted out Seal and Heidi Klum, Ben Harper and Laura Dern, and, oh yeah, that Grey's Anatomy hottie Justin Chambers and his wife, Keisha. Famous bi-racial individuals? Well, there's Halle Berry, Tiger Woods, Sean Lennon. But when you think about it, it's a pretty compact list.

Or is it? Forty years ago, in some U.S. states, you may have been thrown in jail for going to the drive-in to see Guess Who's Coming to Dinner with your wife if her skin was a different color from your own. As little as five years ago in South Carolina, you may have been expelled from university from crashing in some guy's dorm room who believed in a different god than you. It's no surprise, then, that today's society still harbors hang-ups about cross-cultural couples.

What's The Attraction?

My friend Josie, a white woman, finds herself most attracted to African-Americans. "My girlfriend told me that black guys had bigger packages and made better lovers than white men," she says. "Whether it's true or not, that statement made an impression on me and I've been dating black guys ever since."

Some people (admittedly mostly men) describe their attraction to, say, Asians, the same way that other folks might express a preference for redheads -- as a physical characteristic only. Others actively seek out partners from other races because they believe they'll enjoy more interesting relationships due to the varied experiences each brings to the partnership.

My Latino friend Will told me that being with a white girl feels somehow more rebellious, and this rebelliousness excites him. Frequently echoed racial stereotypes -- that black men are most masculine, for instance, or that Asian women are most feminine -- serve to reinforce these perceptions.

Whatever the attraction, mixed-race dating is on the rise. According to a joint survey conducted by The Washington Post, the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard University, one in four Americans have dated someone from another race. Those findings were corroborated, albeit unscientifically, by a recent Lavalife poll, in which the majority of respondents confirmed they had dated outside their ethnic group.

Under Pressure

Interracial couples can face a slew of unusual challenges -- from societal prejudice on a first date to differing theories about retirement in old age, from dealing with racist slurs from family members to struggling with finding a balance between male and female roles in the relationship. Thankfully, many psychologists believe that dealing with these hurdles may forge stronger relationships. And this theory would explain why statistics show that mixed-race relationships last longer than same-race partnerships.

It's Not You, It's Them

Some bi-racial couples face specific prejudice from both cultures, while others claim to experience intolerance from society in general -- be it having difficulty in hailing a taxi to opening a joint bank account.
The impact of bi-racial status on your offspring is also cause for consideration. As online encyclopedia Wikipedia notes: "Some multiracial individuals feel marginalized by U.S. society. For example, when applying to schools or for a job, or when taking standardized tests, Americans are asked to check boxes corresponding to race or ethnicity. Typically, about five race choices are given with the instruction to 'check only one.'"
If your community is suffocating your relationship with racist slurs and discrimination, consider making another city your home. Keep in mind that larger urban communities tend to show less discrimination than smaller ones, younger populations less than older generations.

His and Hers

Some more traditional or conservative cultures have certain expectations about the roles that men and women should play in dating and relationships. From who should pay for dinner to how quickly relationships should progress sexually, and later, from expectations about cooking and cleaning to child-rearing, schooling, extended family and pursuing careers. When things start to get serious, talk about your expectations and beliefs for the long-term. You need to know what you're getting into, knowing of course that all healthy relationships demand compromise. If you don't 'fess up now, shacking up with your new hubbie or bride may involve agreeing to send all your little ones to summer bible camp or inviting your in-laws to move in with you when they retire.

Family Breeds Contempt?

My good friend Rachel (originally from Ireland but living in Washington) has been dating a Pakistani for six months. She's head over heels for this guy and isn't afraid to tell you about it. But the boyfriend keeps their relationship a secret because there's a lot of pressure from his community to marry within his Muslim faith. Rachel and her guy's situation isn't uncommon.

For some, the thought of introducing a new beau of a different color or culture to their family can be terrifying because, for example, they sense deep down that their relatives harbor prejudices, or they know the family feels strongly about the continuation of their own race, religion and heritage. Other dating singles worry about their otherwise open-minded family showing passive aggressive racist tendencies when the issue suddenly arrives "in their backyard."

Ultimately, we all seek approval from our family in some form, and our families try to do right by us in their own way. But doing what's right for you is most important. If that means keeping your dating friend a secret from your family until you're 100 per cent sure your lover will become a permanent fixture in your life, then that's what you have to do. Be truthful with your hottie from the get-go, though. If they care for you they'll realize that honesty about your family's hang-ups is no reflection on you.
