Why is interracial dating a hot topic?

Question

Kind of long story, you can skip the story if you want (it took me time to type this, so I would appreciate if you read it loool) and answer the question.

Hey guys was happening?

So I’m Bengali and pretty much my family look mixed race, I look Latino 6ft 3in, my brother looks black 6ft 1in and my sister looks white 5ft 5in. (I don’t know why I included the height), People just seem to have an opinion on all of our skin colours (people from outside like my mum or dads friends).

Dating wise my family doesn’t care who you date, it just seem other people seem to have an opinion (people at work or some people on the streets).

My cousin is married to a white British women, my other cousin is married to a Pakistani women (not really interracial but to a Pakistani and Bengali it is looool), I myself am dating a mixed race girl. We seem to be talked about by other people.

My friends who date outside their race seem to get the same reactions or talks behind their backs.

My best friend is black and he is dating an oriental Asian girl and people have told them to not get married because it never works out.

I was always taught from young by my parents and older sisters to respect people for people and never see them as a different colour or religion.

The sad thing is I see people on forum, yahoo and in the real world talk negatively about interracial dating. What up with that?

I don’t think interracial dating is a hot topic, I think it is just a topic that has been made an issue before in the past.

Now with this generation of people who are 30 or below really don’t care about what race you are they only care about who you are as a person. 

Only the outdated and close minded people care and judge people. 

Men and women of all races date within and outside of their race. To this generation race doesn’t play a part. 

There are equally as many good looking men and women in each race. 

Beauty is subjective and comes from the eye of the beholder. Race doesn’t play a part only closes minded dinosaurs judges. 

-peace out brother from another mother and race loool, mostly from another mother.

"The Jim Crow laws were racial segregation laws enacted between 1876 and 1965 in the United States at the state and local level"
"Interracial marriage in the United States has been fully legal in all U.S. states since the 1967 Supreme Court decision that deemed anti-miscegenation laws unconstitutiona"

Look at the time frame 1965 jim crow and 1967 Interracial marriage was legalizes.  Discrimination runs deep for some bigots (people).

Good question.  It's not a problem where I live.  I am white caucasian and my spouse is Bangladeshi asian.  No problems here.  Maybe you are spending time in the wrong places.

in most cases those who are against interracial dating are usually secretly racist. they believe that all people are separated by race and every race is completely different. those who decide to only date within their race generally tend to think that its not possible to find love outside of their own race and that only people within their own race is the only choice otherwise its unacceptable. Most of them would use culture as their excuse for not dating outside their own race however, love is stronger than culture. If you love someone outside your race, you will marry him or her regardless if his or her culture matches yours.
