A few days ago, I got a comment and a suggestion from a reader that I should discuss about interracial dating.
The first thing that crosses my mind was “what am I going to talk about?”. Not that I dont know anything about interracial dating, but I dont have the degree to explain the effects or the psychological manner when it comes to that topic nor I have any experience in it.
But I’m a blogger, and this is a blog. Importantly, its my blog and my views. It’s not Wikipedia, so whatever that I have to say about interracial dating is totally what I believe in. After all, if the reader ask me to write about I’m sure she wants to know my opinion about it, so here we go.
To me, I really support interracial dating and marriage. If you ask why, I have no definite answer. Partly because I just think that its beautiful that two different person from two different races and cultural background can come around in harmony. Partly is because my mother always encourage myself to do interracial marriage (and she encourages my sister too).
I dont see anything wrong with that at all. The only thing I can see is that it brings a lot more pros than cons. To rely solely on my opinion is not fair (and I have nothing more to write about but to agree with it) so I did a few research on my own and here’s what I found out.
Generally people dont support interracial marriage. There are many reasons for that. Culture, preserving heritage, language barriers, so far and so on.I think it’s because they feel like a ’stranger’ just walks into their family tree.
In fact, 20 to 30 years ago interracial marriage are forbidden in the States (correct me if I’m wrong).
However, despite all that, it brings benefit to interracial couple. How? Because the public dont generally agree with the idea of interracial marriage, interracial couple often last longer in marriage compared to normal couples.
Why? because the bond between them becomes stronger as they stick together and wanting to prove that they can be happy just like any other normal couples.
Whatever that people talk about interracial dating or marriage, the basic concept of relationship is still the same. We are the one that creates the ‘rules’ and we are the one that judge people around us. The decision is yours to make. If you believe in something, fight and stand for it. If you fight for the one you love for, then interracial marriage is not a problem.
