No big deal at all. I'm Caucasian, my ex-husband is Latin, and our two children are beautiful.

I live in a predominently black/mexican area. My son has been dating a black girl for almost a year. I love her to death. She is like a daughter to me. People are people. That's what I taught my children and that's what I believe myself.

I think if you find love in your life, you should hold onto it with everything you have. Race is not a factor.

Who gives a shit if people want to look. That is their issue, not yours.

I checked out your profile. I think you are closer to being right than her.

I think people are saying "wow, how did that guy manage to snag a woman like that"

Seriously, you really are not that ugly. But people are in general. So, I think there is some people who note the bi-racial aspect of your relationship. Positively or negatively. I think there are some people who note that she is much better looking than you are. I think there are some people who think you make a nice looking couple. And I think that there are some people who look at about everyone.

And, I think she is a little self conscious about the bi-racial aspect of it, and reads her concern into everyone's stare. She is right some of the time. Wrong a lot more.

But you do need to have a serious discussion about her feelings about this. Otherwise she would laugh it off like you do. Something is bothering her, and you need to try to get her to understand it.

Good luck.

First, you can say white. We don't mind that.

As for bi-racial. I was in a resuturant today and there was two bi-racial coules. Several groups of bi-racial people.

I really believe people make more out of this then needs to be said.

But that is just me.

We all need a group hug.

This happened to me when I was married to my ex. It was mostly hispanic women, particularly the older ones, that would give me the strange looks.

OK you live in CA and I would think that Latin and Caucasin relationships are pretty common and I wouldn't think that this would be an issue.

Now I live in TX and this combination is pretty common here too! Now I will say that if you put a Latin with an African American I think you would still get some stares. African American and Caicasian seems to be more accepted as the years go on, but not some much with Latins and African Americans.

I think it all takes time, but really there is so little difference in skin coloring that I highly doubt they are staring at you because your a bi-racial couple. I think maybe they are staring at you because the two of you put off a positive energy when you walk in the room.

As a woman who has been attracted to Asians and Blacks for a very long time (my first partner was Indian), I can say that I certainly have no problem with bi-racial relationships.

Why should you care what other people think? Be happy with each other and do things to make each other happy. You should mean the world for each other.

And I love what augustbaby said--bi racial couples DO make the cutest babies. :)

I'm Asian, so I think bi-racial relationships are great. I know some cultures frown upon it because they think it leads the end of their culture's existence.
People are people, dating for love is more important than limiting yourself to your own nationality/culture. We search long and far for the right person. To say, that you can't or shouldn't date ONE particular person because of their background is a bit silly to me in today's society.
Aren't we suppose to be all God's children? Aren't we suppose to treat people like we want to be treated???

Love people for who they are. Not what they are.

Love is colorblind and for those who are looking they could be looking out of curiosity. In the early days of my marriage I noticed a stare occasionally, but never gave it any thought. My husband is Asian and I am colorblind. Ha, no I am caucasian American!
Not too long ago I had a male, ethnic co-worker ask me if noticed people staring at us. I told him that I did not know if they were or not. I really do not and if they are then they are looking, so what. If they have a problem with it then it is their problem, not mine...

I couldn't care less. As long as you two are happy, no one should care about your relationship. Honestly though, you two don't even look like you're from different races.

I bet they look at you guys because she is a babe! Sorry, she's much hotter, they are more likely to be looking at that! You must be a great guy to have gotten such a beautiful woman, good for you xo

A Creative (Female, 36-45, Teaching) answered:

Damon is absolutely correct. Hispanic is not a race. Fortunately, many colleges and other institutions are making the distinction on their applications. You maybe have a distinct look, just like you can often tell when someone is Italian or Irish by the way they look, but that doesn't mean you are a completely different race. Ask your parents where their ancestors came from. I'm sure they'll say Spain (white), Africa or whatever, not hispania.

Interracial dating is not like a person "dating" a dog or a turtle.

Why can't people get over it already?? Skin color has absolutely no weight in what a person is truly like.

It's an all in your mind problem. Try real hard not to be concentrating on what others think, first of all, you don't know what another is thinking. Perhaps you and ur s/o looks very good together.
I can speak from a been there done that position. While in NY I dated a Jewish guy who was filled with fun, I am a Black african but I was the one uncomfortable with it. He never reacted in no way to the stares. When I moved back south, he couldn't come down too often because he was secure in his job up there but I was so tired of the big city, I neede a move-change. Now my b/f is much younger, we get stared at all, he is mixed, american/African and looks almost Italian. We love one another and that is what's important. You won't come to this conclusion overnight but eventually you'll be all right. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Dude, you need to find out why she is noticing it because it should not be an issue. I went thru the same exact thing with my ex and it ended up a problem that was waiting to come out with her. It should not matter to her about the racial difference, if she loves you then thats good enough. There is no need to try to please people. Nip it in butt! Good luck!

people should just date whoever they are attracted to and f the haters. there are people who will always say shit: if you date an older guy, you're a golddigger; if you date a younger guy, you're a cougar, if you date a waiter, you're wasting time with a deadbeat, if you date an Asian, you have yellow fever....etc.....so people will always say stuff. Just tune it out! i dated a black guy for awhile and people said stuff but I didn't care. latin and caucasian don't even look that different! lol

if you would notice with-in yourself, if you see someone of your race with another race
or to see another dating out side their race, you find yourself looking.
not that you have a issue with it.

According to the US Government regulations, Latinos are not a separate race and you're technically Caucasian. So it's not a biracial relationship.
