If anything, I think interracial relationships are slightly stronger than same-ethnicity relationships. Why? People who date interracially have to go through hurdles all the time. Trust me, I know. Besides staring and dissaproval, I've heard some horror stories of people actually being harassed because of it. Then there was that terribly sad news story of a black man and a white woman who were murdered while they were having a picnic because of their race. Found dead with their bodies intertwined with each other. :( They happened to live in the deep south, where racist groups still hide in the woodworks.

I agree with you. I've got interracial attachments and no matter what my parents say I would probably never be able to, or willing to change.

I'm sorry, but that is just bullshit. Every relationship faces challenges, without exception. Some just get more attention than others. I'm not saying things are easy, but it is unrealistic to compare one or two peoples situations with everyone else in the world, and say that they have it "harder" than anyone else. Unless you are in actual physical danger based entirely on your race, which at least 99% of the people we are talking about are not, it is impossible to blame all of ones hardships on race. Financial and political standings have a million times the impact on anyones life that race alone does. Our world isn't divided in to black and white, it's divided in to haves and have nots.

wtf?
