What are your thoughts on interracial couples?

I am an Asian guy raised in California dating a Caucasian girl from Nashville, Tennessee. So we're not just different in the ethnicity department but also the city boy vs southern girl aspect. A lot of our close friends and relatives find it amusing. Many strangers just think we're plain out odd. What are your thoughts? And what are some of the unusual couples you know of?

    I think you two are beautiful. love is beautiful in general. We are all human beings able to love each other :)

    I'm caucasian and my husband is filipino. We have a beautiful son and another baby on the way. He's totally Americanised so we get along well. I find a few of the cultural differences a breath of fresh air, relieves some of the monotony of life. But......some cultural differences come off anoying and absurd, and it's the same for him. His family annoys me sometimes, and my family annoys him too, but that happens to everybody, even if they aren't mixed couples. Overall I'm happy and wouldn't change a thing.

    I think its fine if they're in love. The city boy with southern girl thing could be a little weird but not really. The most unusual couple I know... a really tall African American guy (he thinks he's a gangster- I hate that) with a really, really short Caucasian girl. I don't really know any unusual couples other than that one.

    To me, it's really a non-issue. If you are attracted to someone, you're attracted to them regardless of their ethnicity. There's a few inter-racial couples in my own family, and it barely raises an eyebrow. My niece (white) is married to a black gentleman, and one of my cousins has been happily married to a man from India for many years. My aunt is part Aboriginal (her mother was full-blooded), and an old friend of my dad's is aboriginal as well - his wife is white. I've been around inter-racial couples all my life, and I've never given it a second thought.

    Love does not know boundaries, love is simply blind....

    --I have an uncle that is short and my aunt is very tall. They have been married for 51 years and have six children.

    --We have some friends that she is 15 years older than him and she had 4 children from her first marriage. They have been married for 16 years and had a girl of their own, so they are raising five children.

    --I have one uncle and one aunt that are cousins, they have seven grown up children, all of them very healthy.

    I think it's just fine. It's nice because just by being together, you can gain the perspective of someone who grew up very differently from you.

    There's a kid around here that must have one black parent and one red head parent. Black features, pale skin, freckles, long frizzy red hair. Cutest kid I've ever seen.

    I think it's stupid when others think race/ethnicity is so important to a relationship.

    If that person makes you happy then that's all that matters.

    Unusual couples I know of? Well my mom is Mexican and my dad is Japanese :)

    I think prejudice is ignorance on the defensive. Prejudice cannot see the things that are because it is always looking for things that are not. The South is known for looking at life from another perspective. Be prepared for possible difficulties.

    Its nice. Humans are all one species after all, so who cares if you are from different cultures.

    I make no distinction - everyone's human, I find it advantageous to be "color-blind" when it comes to "race"
