Culturally speaking: Why does Canada have such a diversity in interracial couples while the US doesn't?

You're judging this based on certain parts of the country, because I'm willing to bet you haven't seen all of Canada and the USA. Your argument isn't valid....Show more

In the US there is more fear associated with it, what society might think. An Asian guy or Indian guy (most of who are academically oriented) may not date a Black girl or Latina because they feel that they may be "downgrading" themselves in society. Also, lets be straight, I don't know about Black guys but I know Hispanic guys do this a lot. When they see a Middle Eastern, Asian or Indian guy with one of their girls, they throw such a fit that a lot of them would start getting offended and cracking race jokes, Mexicans (mostly the Americanized ones from the Western part of the US) throw these fits most often. Out of fear most people either stick within their own race or date the majority race which is more often than not, White people.

Another problem is Hollywood, it is so racist that it gives negative stereotypes to anyone that isn't a White liberal, even White conservatives get treated like crap from Hollywood when in general they are good people. So lets say a Hispanic girl decides to fall for an Asian guy, result? Small ding ding jokes, dog eating jokes, communist jokes, and nerd jokes flying around left to right.

I believe that the US is a great country (best in the world in my opinion) but just like any other nation, we have some things to improve on, though not as much but certainly some things that we can improve on indeed....Show more

I've seen a few of those relationships.
My friend is Hispanic and she is currently dating an Indian guy
There are 2 couples at my school that are Hispanic boy and Asian girl...Show more

Because even though America is the self confessed (melting pot) it actually in true fact the land of the bigots. Am I the only person who notices most of the racial hatred spouted on the internet comes from America. It's not just Canada mate, same here in the UK nobody cares about interracial dating, that's because people outside the US are not race obsessed. Most people in other countries have moved on.

Sorry if I sound anti-American that's just the way I see it. America has such a racist history, and it still seems to be affecting them to this very day....Show more

Maybe, being an Asian of Indian ethnicity, you'd be much happier in Canada and you should move there....Show more
