See, now I believe u all have the right reason, cause everyone is different and we grow up around a certain thing. I say, date whoever makes you happy and try ignore the bullshit other people give u.

Which is silly because that can be said of any couple, really. Why do skinny people date fat people? Why is that 6'5" guy dating a dwarf? A person could go on for days asking about why Person A is with Person B.

people need to get over it...its 2009. im 24 and i have grown up seeing interracial couples my whole life. the annoying thing is the way that some interracial couples either go out looking for attention or contribute to the stereotypes...they make it harder for people who actually want to be together to just be seen as a normal couple.

Hmm I have not noticed much staring at interracial couples. Maybe in certain parts of the country this happens more often, but I'm in an interracial relationship and I've never noticed staring...

I am as well and I haven't had a problem with random people staring however I have had issues with some of my family.

One of my best male froeinds is black and I am white. We used to be together so often people thought we were married lol. I didn't care. When people stared, I stared back. The people that stare obviously have no formal education and were not raised properly. I hold my head high when I am with my true friends, as they are hard to find these days, no matter what their skin color may be. People need to realize it is almost 2010 not 1910!

Just because it's different, I suppose. Might not even be really a racist thing--just stands out a little bit. For instance, one interracial couple I saw in a train station three years ago still sticks in my head; they were both sitting on a bench, dozing--he was black, she was a blonde, and lying between them was a baby whose skin color was perfectly between theirs. It was a striking image and very cute, and I still wish I'd taken a picture.

If someone is staring at something means they r not used to it. itz new for them..... purely they r thinking oh people r like this also....... when they cant accept something they look at it and trying to accept it r wondering on it....... so, dont feel bad if u r starred becoz when they stare at u they r learning something from u

U SHOULD BE PROUD OF THAT

This is what i Think n Feel if somebody stare at me!!!!

Some people stare out of curiosity, others because they like to people watch, & maybe for racism. No one knows exactly why the person is staring unless you ask them, but you might not even get a real answer.

My husband was in the military and we used to get stared at a lot too. Mostly because they figured I needed a green card and I married him for that reason LOL! But anyways, I stare at other couples because I like to people watch....and I mean that in the most non-creepy way ever lol.
