Sturmvogel Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I was doing some research on how society views marriages among different ethnic people. Found this article and think its a worthwhile read. Maybe we can discuss some of the conclusions posed. I hope the LoveCop throws in his two cents! http://www.isteve.com/IsLoveColorblind.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elazul Yagami Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 i don't know why they even have studies about this...some people don't give a damn about color, so they fall in love with whoever they fall in love with.others are so flocking racist, that they won't even open up to someone that isn't of their same color. simple, doesn't need a waste of money for research on it!

BlackKnight Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Waste of money yes, but same color coupling can be influenced by cultural differences and not just racism. As I've found, that crap can be extremely hard to work against, particularly the family pressures that go with it. Don't be so quick to judge.

Samurai Edge Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I'm colourblind when it comes to marriage. I believe that my wife MUST be a Chinese. Reason is because I need my wife to have similar cultures as mine. I can't have a wife that has different opinion about life. Chinese believe that children MUST take care of their parents when they are old. I can't marry someone that tells me to leave my parents alone. BUT for a girlfriend, any race is fine. It's just a girlfriend afterall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elazul Yagami Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 what if you love this girlfriend? would you just marry a chinese woman just cause she's chinese? what about say you REALLY loved your girlfriend and she wasn't chinese, would you decide not to marry her cause she isn't chinese? btw, egyptians, saudi's, italians (at least the ones i know), armenians (again the ones i know) and a bunch of others believe that you should take care of your parents when they're old, so would you marry any of them?

You guys are taking this love thing a little too deep. There's a difference between "real" love and "puppy" love. So when you say love prevails all, do you mean puppy love or real love? Real love can be classified in different ways, so really it's hard to distinguish real love from the temporary. So what it really comes down to is if you wanna bang the chick then bang her. Plain and simple. It's easier to marry somebody of the same culture as you becuase most have a similar up bringing. I've been in an interacial relationship so I speak from experience. Plus if you plan on having kids it's a bit easier for the kid so he doesnt have to face as much adversity from being mixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I doubt any of us were thinking about puppy love. And I'm pretty sure there are fewer and fewer cases of kids being mean to mixed ones these days. I mean I know the US is still flocked up about it but most other countries are smart.
