I'm a person from southeast asia and basically looking to marry a caucasian woman...but somehow it seems that race does play a great role in how people interact towards each other..in matters of attraction too.

in todays world sadly race dose matter to a lot of people. but it isnt really inportent its whats inside the person that is inportent. there women out there that do look into the soul not the looks and petty like that.

My fiancee is native and I'm caucasian.
I just wonder how his family and my family will get along at the wedding....Im scared some of my relatives will be rude to them or else not talk to them at all....sometimes I think about eloping

i dont care what other people think about us. my hubby is mexican and i am white. i exccept him as the person who he is. i married him not the people who look at us.

I agree.....they sure do stare though. Whenever we go to the mall its like we both have four heads the way everyone stares.....but OH WELL.
Im happy...he's happy.....so its worth it

I'm the product of an interracial marriage. My father is black and my mother is white. The white side didn't speak to my family and my black side didn't speak to my family. But in public people just looked at us odd sometimes then looked away. In time my family came around and started speaking to us. (that might be partly because my dad died come to think of it) Anyway, people never did more than glance at my family and I was never ridiculed for being mixed. Interracial relationships are great.It helps to tear down racial walls and exposed the husband,wife and children to a culture they might otherwise not have seen.

I am also a product of a white mother and black father. I was born in 1976 so you have a reference as to what the culture was when they married. My mother was raised in rural Ohio and was never around black people growing up. Her father refused to talk to her after they were married. My father is from rural Lousiana and am sure was around white people- though not in a tolerant or kind society. His family was very accepting.

Race was never an issue in our house. It was never mentioned. This has been a great tool as I have gotten older. I am alot less concerned with race than my peers. I accept that racism exists but not the extent that is sometimes portrayed.

I don't have any anger or resentment that I feel alot of people do towards other races. Life is too short to hate people that for reasons they can't control. There are so many other things that are worth our time, concern and energy. I don't feel that I have to talk, dress, or do anything else a certain way (i.e. the "black way" or "white way"). I am able to explore and view the world without race as a factor. It is very inconsiquencial to me when I make character judgements etc. I am free to appreciate other races and cultures without anger. What a gift I was given.

And now that I am married (to a black man) we are raising our children in the same way. This world would be a much better place if people made a conscience effort to do the same. (BTW- My brother married a white woman. I have one more brother and sister so we will see what happens with them.)

But in response to the original person that was having trouble finding a white woman to marry. I would say that you have some issues in that you want white women to accept you for who you are regardless of your race. However, you have ruled out women of your race and others. That seems hypocritical.

My fiance is Pakistani and am Caucasion. We have learned that many people have their own opinions. What matters most to us is that we love each other. We know we want to be together. Yes, religious beliefs can be an issue to some, but i you work through them, you will make it.
