Interracial Dating

A formspringer suggested: "I think you should do a blog about interracial relationships"

Ask and you shall receive :-)

It has taken me a long time, and many blog posts to really refine how I feel about interracial relationships. I have finally nailed down that I don't have a problem with interracial relationships except when the following is true:

The person dates outside of their race because they feel like women/men of their race are not good enough for them.

-or-

The person dates outside of their race because they feel like a woman/man of another race boosts their position in society.

In sum, I don't have a problem with interracial relationships when the reasoning for them is not self hate. I have a HUGE problem when someone dates outside of their race, or refuses to date within their race because they have a deep seeded feeling of inferiority about who they are.

You don't know how long it has taken me to nail down my feelings on this topic.
