The only issue that should and can be argued in this discussion is that of culture. I once heard a comment in the movie Thirteen that stated this "If everyone dated someone outside of their race..there would be no more racism" Is that true? Possibly but there would also be no more individual cultures. Our cultures are our own and should be treasured. As hard as it will be for some to admitt it when people date outside the race and marry outside the race a lot of the time 1 submitts to the others culture and lifestyle and disregards their own. This is a fact because I've seen it happen. It is a bad thing but the coming together of 2 people who are different but yet not different is a good thing. So you have to take in the good with the bad. I guess one might ask if the good outweighs the bad but in truth love is color blind and love conquers all.

To be completely honest I am VERY proud to say I am a Mexican American. I have people who are my own people who have come up from and through struggles unique to my ethnicity. I wouldn't have that if my race kept mixing with every other race over and over and over until wait...what are we now? Well we're human and thats all you can say now..Does that kind of suck that my culture and people faded away over time? Yes but what I just said "We're human and thats all you can say now" is actually pretty fuckin nice too. You may call me torn on this issue.

In truth I do have preferences in my taste of the opposite sex, I'm partial to brunettes and I favor latina's but does that mean I will always date one or marry one? No. Because we date our "types" and search them up for porn, and other such trivial things but we marry because of a connection. We love because of a connection and a sharing of that love and I don't always find that within my own race. Not every woman of my color has everything I'm looking for in a woman. So I don't know who I'll settle down with and I don't think anyone does.

Should it be an issue? Probably not but also understand there are reasons why it's an issue besides blatant predjudice and racism.

Also my sister married a white man. He's a great guy I love him like a brother and my neice? She's beautiful

Asta!!
