I'm a black woman in a Ltr with a white man and I would agree with this. I met up with two different groups of women in these meetup groups. They all happened to be black. The topic of interracial dating came up. And I was surprised that everyone but 1 said they weren't interested. Altogether there were maybe 18-20 women. One woman said if you come across a cool white guy and you guys hit it off who's to say his family is going to be as accepting? She said she didn't want to deal with those issues. |

I've definitely noticed this. People think that it's other men who aren't interested in black women, but I've definitely seen black women pass up perfectly good men of other races to wait around for black men. It's a strange phenomenon because the marriage statistics for black women are so dismal, but they don't seem to care. They'd rather be a black man's fourth baby mama than a white man's wife. |
I know 2 South Asian and Hispanic couple, but I've not seen East Asian/Hispanic. |
I was with you until the last sentence. |

It's the truth. You see so many accomplished, beautiful black women fighting over a piece of an ugly, abusive blue collar guy because they claim there is a "shortage" of black men, but they turn their nose at looking outside their race. Blackness trumps everything on many black women's list of wants in a man. |
We might've dated the same guy.LOL Jewish? |
| There is definitely a resistance of dating interracially that defies logic. There's a combination of factors but a big one I've found is guilt. When my parents divorced, my mom caught flack from her sisters (and some black men) that she was dissing black men because of anger toward my dad. She's just always been openminded which trickled down to her daughters. I got teased when dating my first white guy and I expected it. Never head an issue dating other men of color, but have often been surprised that I'm willing to because I didn't seem like the type to. Whatever that means. That said, I think it's beginning to change a bit for millennial black women. |
| PP here. I meant to say, "Never had an issue dating other men of color, but others have been surprised that I'm willing to. I've been told that I didn't seem like the type to." |
No he's I think he's an Atheist. But his family is Catholic. |
There's a lot. Lot of Koreans in Argentina who intermarry. My family is a rainbow mix like a modern babel we have every possible mix in mine. |
There are Koreans in Argentina? Wow, they do get around I'm korean. I saw a program on Turkey, and they were interviewing a Korean family there. The daughter was getting married to a Turk. If there aren't that many choices for a person in terms of race, you are left to either 1. be single. 2. find a mail order bride/groom 3. marry one of the locals. I think most people would just marry a local yokel.
