Inter-racial Dating

[DKT3]

Did not know that about white men and black women. I don't doubt you either. And regarding White Men and Latina women, I know Cali has a high Latina population, but what I'm saying is that White Men with Latina Women is by far the most common interracial couple in the whole USA.

 

Statically speaking it's not, BM/WF is. Now the question become race vs ethic background. Hispanic is not really a race mainly because it includes both white and black people, and the widest range of a combination.

the average Puerto Rican individual carries 12% Native American, 65% West Eurasian (Mediterranean, Northern European and/or Middle Eastern) and 20% Sub-Saharan African DNA.

Ha-ha, that's funny. Here is way, when you look at 75% of them without knowing anything to would see a black person..ala Alex Rodriguez or Miguel Cotton for any boxing fans.

LOL, A Rod looks like a Dominican to me and I have no idea what his background is. Is he PR?

Yep, no doubt about it.

[DKT3]

Saying Hispanic carry a large range from someone as black as Big Pappi in Boston to a blonde hair green eyed Christina Aguilera

[Got it]

Hispanic is not a race, so your husband is black, being that boricuas are mostly black.

 

No, my husband is not black.

He maybe, I'm not sure but its the same general idea.

And the EEOC would beg to differ.

Which also ties to what I said earlier about white westerners and white easterners could not be more different. The same goes for any black that might be from South America. Any hispanic that might have black skin color is only similar to blacks as we consider them by skin color only.

 

There are plenty of Eastern European people out there that would not be accepting of a marriage to a Western white person. This skin and eye shape standard for determining whether a relationship is interracial does not provide accurate information. My fiance has African roots and DNA, but she does not consider herself to be black or to have anything in common with African American culture (she is Brazilian). If she married a black guy, it would be appropriate to call the relationship interracial even though she has "black blood."

Look guys there are only 5 racial groups on the planet. They or most likely a combination of them make up the ethic backgrounds arcoss the world. Hispanic/Latino is not a race.

 

I have more in common with the white man next door then I do with a black man in Ghana. I share a ethic background with the white guy but race with the black one. Two totally different things.

This is the culture part, when I go to the UK I see tons more wm/bf couplings. It's far more rare in the US, even more rare according to what part of the US. There are pockets in the black culture here in the US were it's simply not acceptable, not to those outside of the black themselves but within not from black men, but from other black women. It seems to be more common in the Northeast parts from Ohio to the Atlantic ocean, Virginia north.. that area seems to be the most accepting of interracial relationships in general

 

There are parts of the UK where you'll hardly see any people of colour as well as you know, but luckily not where I am.

 

I've had people fascinated or mystified by seeing us as a black family when on vacation in parts of England and Wales.

My wife was born in Cardiff Wales, whenever I've been there they look at us like I have three heads...haha

And a discussion about all the possible intricacies of culture etc. would be far diff than what ppl are usually after w the interracial topic. Probably better called inter-cultural or sth like that.

 

When ppl say "interracial" they generally mean blacks, whites, and asians intermingling.

 

(That means latina women with white men isn't strictly interracial btw.)

[Gloria25]

I have noticed that White Men with Black Women is getting extremely popular (I've noticed that the black women in these relationships tend to be ridiculously hot, and I'm not even all that attracted to black women).

 

Also, Asian Men with White Women couples has increased exponentially IMO. This my not mean too much though because this pairing was always one of the more rarer ones to begin with, making it much easier for any increase to seem exponential. But I've seen a lot more of this over the past three years.

 

The most common interracial pairing though is White Men and Latinas. No other interracial pairing even sniffs that one in terms of frequency. I don't know what the numbers are, but it's nothing short of obvious.

 

One last thing I'd like to add is that a Western White Man with an East European White Woman is also very common. If not for skin color, this type of pairing is as interracial as it gets. Eastern and Western white people look extremely different from each other. They are nothing a like. Different builds, ways of thinking, attitudes, and even facial features. Aside from skin color, white people of the East and white people of the West have little in common. Skin color is a superficial commonality at best.

 

EDIT: For the non-white guys that complain about not being able to get white girls, there are so many white men dating and marrying outside of their culture, that there is no way white women would not increasingly pair up with non-white guys. I was at a Whole Foods a couple months ago and there was this white girl that looked completely infatuated with her Asian BF. I know it's anecdotal, but trust me, even the Asians guys are hooking up with white girls now (I only bring up Asians because they tend to have the biggest gripe about attracting white women).

 

I'm sorry, but the interracial RLs you mentioned? I haven't seen many of them...in my neck of the woods.

 

I mostly see a white guy going for an Asian or European woman ten times before Latinas or Black women. Actually, IMO, Asian women are as far as a white guy who's open to dating outside of his race goes.

 

Latinas seem to lean towards Black guys before a white guy. And Mexican guys don't care for Black women, outside of Mexican women, they'll date white women only..

Yes, let's say you had twin sisters, white born in France separated at birth. One adopted by a couple in Chile to the other stayed in Europe. Both marry white men. Would the one be considered interracial? We all know that the second wouldn't be.

How do you explain white men with Black women? White men with Latin women? Mexican men with Black women?

[OneLov]

No racial or ethnic preferences. Just a female who is attractive and Homo sapiens.

Not me, my last date was a Nigerian American girl. I am a typical White (Irish German) American man.

Well in SoCal hispanic women prefer to pair with either hispanic dudes or white dudes. I work with four hispanic women, and they are all married to white guys. If you consider Brazilin to be hispanic, then you can consider my fiance to be part of that group. At my last employer only one hispanic woman was married to a hispanic guy, the rest were married to white guys.

 

It's fine if we are not considering hispanics or Latinos as a race. It still remains that white men and latina women (women with roots from Central or South America) pair up far more often than any other "real" interracial combination out there, and it's not even close. This is undeniable and every person that is related to those that are part of a White Man and Hispanic Woman union would say that they "married outside if their own kind".

 

Personally, I think it's weird to consider South and Central Americans as "white" by virtue of Spaniards sailing over there and completely raping the culture out of them. Latinos have their own physical features and traits that are unique to where they are from. When I think white, I think people with European lineage.

But when you start dividing up sub-categories or races mixed w cultural influences it's bscly infinite, which is why interracial usually just refers to the basics.

 

btw I don't see many Latin women/European men pairings here ....it's pretty much all white women/black men as far as mix is concerned. Interesting that it varies so much and that variance informs our opinions, but I still have porn on my side. Hell even Latin women/black men falls under the wide 'interracial' porn umbrella, which is bscly black men + any women but black, but like 90% white.

Congrats on your engagement BTW, cheers, hope you have a great marriage.

Yea lol, but the porn thing is meaningless. Especially when the interracial-porn term was coined in an era where the performers in porn, within the porn capital (which is where I am from), were 99.9% dominated by white women. So porn being interracial essentially meant that the scene needed to not involve a white guy, which basically meant it needed to involve a black guy (the third largest group of people in the industry at that time).

 

And yes, the racial divisions could approach infinite, especially if you consider the deciding factor to be what is between the ears or in the heart of a given group of people as opposed to their eye slant or skin color.

 

But the fact is still this: White Men / Hispanic Women greatly outnumber all other combinations. You can try to create any type of division /combination you want, it still won't sniff the proportion WM/HW in the USA as a whole. If you don't want to consider it interracial based on a sociological definition of "race," then that IS fair. I actually can't argue against that. In this case, white woman paired with any guy from any race will be the most common interracial couple because so many white guys are marrying latinas. With so many white guys being unavailable, white women are bound to marry outside their race.

 

I will agree to not call a White Man with a Latina Woman interracial, but it's something that should always be brought up in this type of conversation because its implications are extremely significant.

 

Congrats on your engagement BTW, cheers, hope you have a great marriage.

 

Thanks! It's pretty recent

 

She actually just did the 23-and-me thing and I plan to do it, too. We're curious about the results (not for race determination reasons, but for everything that it can reveal)

I have to say when I lived in L.A. my hispanic gfs, and I have quite a few, were into white men. One was married to a hispanic. BTW, the majority of hispanic women in L.A. are just drop dead gorgeous.
