 Interracial Relationships
The world sure is an
ever-changing animal. Just when you think you have a grasp
on what's going on, something will change. It always does. I
guess that's the beauty of life and evolution. Unfortunately
not everyone welcomes change. Some folks are so dead-set in
their ways that they can never adapt to nuances. So much has
to do with the experiences they've endured in their lives.
Many people still expect everyone to date only within their
own race. They feel that it's not right to condone interracial
relationships. Some will say the world is complicated
enough as it is. However, we don't exactly get to choose who
we fall for.
It's funny, but if I
were to ask my grandmother about interracial relationships,
she would make some comment concerning the Japanese. A race
of people she still refers to as "the Japs." Needless to
say, she's prejudice against this group of people. Her anger
and fears stem from WWII. This is a race of people she has
trouble seeing in a positive light. Therefore if I were to
date a Japanese girl, she would hate it. Well, I'm certain
that some individuals deal with this on a routine basis.
These days you have plenty of interracial relationships
in the USA and abroad. Some parents are fine with this,
and some are not. I will say that while I don't frown upon
interracial
relationships in general, I can imagine that it would
make life a bit more difficult for the parties involved.
Some people will never be able to accept the changes. So if
you're in interracial
relationships, be ready for some ridicule, staring and
criticism. It goes with the territory.
There are online
websites designed for interracial
relationships. You can actually get on the web and meet
other singles like yourself. There are plenty of singles out
there in search of interracial
relationships. On that note, hopefully the world's
ability to accept change will only grow. I do think we're
heading toward a future of possibilities, open-mindedness,
and plenty of diversity. Hey, God made us all different for
a reason. It only makes sense to embrace the beauty of
variety.
