[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't think white women are typically upset by white men dating outside of their race. The ones that do get upset are mostly like racist in general.

[b]Of all races, I think whites are the most accepting of interracial dating (in modern times, not 30+ years ago) despite the widespread perception that whites are the most racist people of all.[/b][/quote]

I'm curious...are you white? Can't say that I agree with that statement. [/quote]

PP here. Yes.[/quote]

As a b/w biracial woman who has witnessed my parents' marriage as well as dated men of all backgrounds, I agree with the PP.  For example, when black men see me with a white man, I get waaaaay more uncomfortable looks from black men (and some women) than from white people...white people for the most part (at least pretend) not to care.  However, growing up it was the white side of my family that was outwardly uncomfortable and vocally disapproving of my parents' marriage.  I think their reservations (now 30+ years later) would be a lot less today, because a lot of their concerns (where will you live, what kind of job will you be able to get, people will shun you for having a black spouse, etc) aren't as valid since times have (and still are) changing...and any racist thoughts they might have would be kept to themselves because they know it's not socially acceptable.[/quote]
