What are some of the biggest hurdles you have in a mixed race relationship?

I'm a white dude and am crushin on a black girl. Just curious to see the answers.|||There are two main hurdles that can confront a mixed race couple.





The first is culture. If you have different cultures, you will both have to approach the other's with an open mind and a willingness to experiment. If either of you starts out by thinking your own culture is automatically superior, your relationship is unlikely to last.





The second is racism. It'll come from both races and you have to accept that it will happen and be ready to face it as a couple. There are no real excuses for racism, but sadly far too many people are racist anyway. Mixed race couples get it in the neck from both sides. As long as you don't allow this problem to divide you, it can be overcome.





Good luck! :)|||Glad I could help :)

Other than that, it's all good.|||The cultures are significantly different but not insurmountable.|||I love all races. I don't let skin color or anything get to me as long as the person inside is good.


I also can not stand racist people since I have grown up in a family that thinks whites should only date whites it gives me more of a reason to fight with my family lol.


You like her go for it :)|||never been in an interracial relationship, but i'm sure there's the whole race issue some ppl might not agree with. her social experience is definitely different than yours. but none of these are deal breakers. you two will have a great time.

- Hope I Helpd! Good Luck!|||culture differnces, the massive differences in expectation, learning what they "mean" when they say something or act in a certain way .. like for example in japan i heard its not kosher to show much public affection and so it might be considered rude. learning the rules.....i wont lie it can be more difficult than a same culture thing but can be very rewarding.|||LOL@ Camille

Hey meet the family with a bucket of KFC, a water melon and a bottle of MD 20/20......Thunderbird works too!|||Speaking as someone who has been in a mixed race relationship, there are a few things you will have to deal with. Although I don't think race should matter in a relationship, others will constantly explain their dislike regarding the matter.





I'm a black woman who use to date multi racial guys. People would literally yell things like 'why are you with him? You need to find yourself a black guy...he can't satisfy you the way we can...its guys like you that take all of the good black girls from us...'





It's extremely rude, but at the same time I would advise you to build a thick skin. People will say things like this to you, and if you take it personally chances are you'll get yourself into some trouble.





It may be difficult for you to understand what minorities go through, just because chances are you probably have not experienced it first hand. If race does not matter and you're up for learning new things about your gf and her race...then I'd say go for it :)
