[quote=Anonymous]While I was in HS I dated outside of my race; my parents NEVER knew. I knew it would not be acceptable to them so why put myself through all the heartache. I lived in PG County and it was not (I think) frowned upon to date outside of your race.  While we would get stares at times in various places ---- one time made to wait 30 minutes before our food arrived (there were a total of about 6 patrons in the place) at a Chinese restaurant in Bethesda, that was the first time (in almost a year of us dating) that I experienced racism for lack of a better word.  This incident made me think of what the future could hold for us.  Also the fact that he while still in college already had to pay child support.

Eventually, we broke up I was going to college and he was leaving for another city.  We kept in touch for about 15 years or so.  I have lost touch with him, he was a nice kind guy, who ultimately ended up twice with women who didn't know how to appreciate him for who he was.  I went through a divorce and he had broken off his 2nd marriage, we tried to date again but we in two different places.  He had two kids from two different woman and I was recently divorced and didn't really know what I wanted...........

I would not bat an eye if my kids dated outside of their race.  As I tell them people are people regardless of their skin color. [/quote]
