Is there anyone of a single race that married a bi/multiracial person?

Obviously there are I used to be one of them (the biracial one). What I'm looking for is any stories or experiences that might have been different with them then a member of your own race or single race. Child rearing, family gatherings, things you noticed or notice about them. How you think of them. That kind of thing. Even if you only dated someone of a biracial background I would love to hear your story.

    I am bi racial and my husband is not. This is coupled with the fact that I am English and he is American. I consider myself a black woman so there are no racial or cultural issues with regard to how we raise our daughter or anything. I grew up with one black parent and one white parent and we had no problems. They have been married for over 36 years. I guess my parents saw beyond color and race...Love has no color or race.

    Ok i m going to be the party pooper here, i don't expect the BA, whilst this kind of thing may work for the minority, for the majority of people they want their children to look like them, white, black or whatever, i ve known black men who won't go near girls of another race just as much as i ve seen asian men who feel the same way. This interracial thing for me is a fad, its cool not to be seen as "racist" in the modern world and and the absolute reflection of this is to take up with someone outside of your race, if people want to go mess up their blood lines that in many people's go back over 12,000 years then that is up to them, the majority want to preserve what they have.

    I would never date outside my race nor would i consider someone outside my race, what americans must realize is that no matter how much they push this idea on the world most don't want it, try selling it to the palestinians for example or the russians, you might have a war on your hands, end of the day it is a social phenomena brought on by ultra liberal politics that is trying to sell this hands round the world ideal. It doesn't work in practice, just go to harlem and see the tension and hatred the jewish and black communities have or to Los Angeles where blacks and hispanics gangs kill each other every day, people who ask these sorts of question and believe in this kind of thing believe in the fairytale that we can all "get along" when history and society shows us that we really can't.

    Just look at britain the most liberal nation on earth and the different communities live in self segregation, yes sure there will be people on either side of the curtain who believe in this way of life but for the most part people are realistic, most want to preserve their Heritage and race and don't want those things to be destroyed by their own actions so when people say love doesn't see race i kind of giggle because for the majority of people it really does matter.

    Source(s): I don't mean to be make anyone feel bad here just being honest and realistic.

    Race ain't so much a big deal as much as cultural and ethnical differences.
