<opinion> You shouldn't care what other people think. It's none of their business.

+100.

Who cares about random stares.
 
People will always find something to stare at. My bf is much shorter than me and we get a lot of stares...

Racial differences are becoming less though, I think. Especially in suburban areas. You have all different colours living in the same houses, speaking the same languages in the same accent, owning the same cars and same pets and going to the same schools and churches. There will always be people who don't approve but as long as everyone does what makes them happy it will get better.
 
Mixed marriage here too, married to my coloured wife for 8 years now and I really don't notice the stares and disapproving looks anymore.
We live in a fairly afrikaans area too and when we first moved here I wondered why i was geting funny looks from people.

I stare when there are babies.... Dear spaghetti monster mixed couples make pretty babies. :o
And mostly I look at the parents because neither of them seemed to have had anything to do with the pretty baby. ( meaning neither of you are as pretty as the little one :P)

This is very true. That twin Tamera Mowry (from Sister Sister) has THE cutest baby with her white husband. Although both parents are pretty good looking, so its not unexpected.
 
Why do you care? My fiance is a beautiful seTswana woman and I a coloured. Sure we got looks, but you learn to tune it out.
 
i always feel happy when i see interracial and homosexual couples out in the open and being intimate, gives me faith in love :p
 
Go for it. I am in a multicultural relationship and it was the best choice I ever made. We are very happy and our families get along.
 
Colored girls are sexy in many cases. So are people from every race. If I was single, I would not mind dating an Indian girl, for example ;)

My dad would've killed me if I dated a non-white girl, but if my kid someday dates someone from another race, it wouldn't bother me at all.

It's to do with the past - I bet you most stares come from older people, or youngsters who were raised in racist homes. You just have to accept it, since it's not personal at all.
 
This makes me so sad. Sometimes it feels like people are even more accepting of gay couples than mixed couples.

Don't let it get you down. Mixed couples are becoming more and more frequent and pretty soon it will be nothing out of the ordinary. For now, just deal with the bigots. As long as you two are happy, nothing else matters.

This! It didn't bother me at all when my son had a coloured girlfriend, but a couple of extended family members had a few comments. I got asked what I'd do if he brought a black girl home next time. Morons!
 
My SO is 'coloured'. I'm a white Mediterranean man. I notice more stares from black people (especially women) than white people. I don't notice it in big cities (NY, London, Joburg), but I have noticed it in smaller places like for example Middleburg (Afrikaans) and so on.

Frankly, I don't give a rats ass. I've dated every race of woman there is. I love all women... and they all love me! :D

So hello

I have a lovely GF, we're students...

Of different races and I have picked up some frowns mostly from other white people.

What's the big deal... I don't get it. :mad:

My chick is beautiful, :love: (No pictures sorry:whistle:.)

We're like best friends and the lasting type of love thing.

I'm just curious to the thought process of these people and why they feel upset about a white guy dating a beautiful coloured girl?:confused:

My daughter is a white girl and most of her friends are black.

We go on outings with her friends parents every now and then, Usually my daughter is holding her friends hand.

Also get lots of "Skande" death looks from white people when they ID me as her father.

At first I gave them some death looks right back, now I don't even care or notice any more.

I really couldn't give a rats arse about some strangers irrelevant viewpoint.

Best comment on here! You cannot help who you fall in love with, and as a result, you cannot help peoples opinion of what it looks like to them, live and let live.
