What do you think of interracial couples

[Puppet Pal Clem]

My family is Japanese American, and my sister is dating a white guy, and my brother is dating a black woman. I kind of worry what people think, but they are very happy with the people they are with. Does this anger some people?

Not at all. An insult is unnecessary, that whole post of nonsensical drivel says enough on its own.

U seemed to have no problem reading it, the fact u asked if it's chronic...

Yes, I do indeed read things that I don't agree with sometimes. What is your point?

never tell someone else who to love, that is their business

I mean you do you, personally as a white peson I kinda would only want to have kids with another white person because I kinda feel like white people and our culture gets erased in interracial kids, like they always don't look white, they always look like the non-white parents so naturally they identify more with them and their culture and it's just kinda sad to think about. Like my cousin's husband is half Egyptian half Fijian and their kids don't look like their mother or anyone in our family, give it a few generations and they probably wont even know they had white ancestors at all.

Teach your kids about your culture then. They can learn about it, they don't need to be white to understand it. Your skin color isn't inherent to your culture.

That's not how it works though, by societies current standards you are whatever race you look like and nothing more and half white kids never look white.

That has nothing to do with what I said.

What a disgusting thing to ask.

This like i said, i'm 100% American. I have more in common with people in America than anywhere else.

I'm sorry, but some people kind of sound obsessed with race, I'm not, but i worry for people who do.

Yes it does, you can teach your kids about your history and culture and people but their friends and relationships outside the home and going to have the bigger impact on who they become and how they identify themselves.

When my siblings have kids i will be a proud uncle. I don't care what some of you think.

Your environment will have a big impact on who you become and how you identify regardless of your race. That has nothing to do with it.

As long as they learn about their culture, it is not "erased." Teach them to appreciate and love your culture and they will always have some part of it with them. Especially if you make it part of their home lives. It's not like they live with those other people, they will still come back home and be exposed to your culture every day if you incorporate it into your household.

These kinds of threads are always quite wonderful to read for those of us in interracial relationships/marriages.

This isn't true if one parent forces theirs and not the other. Sometimes in love if true love you have to make sacrifices. So not all parents teach both.

Well, obviously, if both parents aren't teaching about their respective cultures, their child will not learn about both of them. But that's up to the parents. It's not an inherent impossibility just because the kid looks one way or the other like Violent Rainbow is trying to say.

Again, it has nothing to do with the color of your skin.

I'm not even in an interracial relationship and this thread is still destroying my braincells. The sad part is it was actually fine before the borderline nazi rhetoric started pouring in.
