   I have to say many of those are the most white interracial couples I’ve ever seen. And I agree – we don’t see interracial ads on TV as much as we should.

   And what differnece does that make. Aren’t we suppose to be looking beyond race. If the subscriber indicated they would like a match from the sme race, how is that eH’s fault?

   I believe that, yes let’s look beyond race, but wouldn’t it be nice for high profile companies like these, would not be afraid to show interracial couples in their adverts, like it or not, there is still a fear of showing the reality of races mixing, so as not to offend some of their potential clients, who would rather not accept this. So anonymous, I do hope you see, what you appear not to.

   Hi, my name is Rachel Winter and I am a year 13 student at Marlborough Girls’ College in Blenheim, New Zealand. I am currently doing an assessment for my media class which involves me writing an article on something I am passionate about.

   The subject I have chosen to write about is how inter-racial marriages are harder to be involved in and the challenges that arise from having to learn a new culture or even language for the one you love. I am looking for sources who have had first hand experience in either an inter-racial marriage or have dealt with this topic in anyway.

   Would you be prepared to answer some questions in the near future or do you know of anyone that I could talk to and question?

   Thank you for your time.

   Yes, Rachel. The black man white woman couples usually end in the white woman alone bringing up a mullatoe. (She usually has self esteem problems or been programmed by the media to think it’s trendy) The white man on Chinese couples usually spring from a wimpy white man that can’t attract white females. The white woman chinese man pair are rare and are probably odd people in themselves. And of course it all ends in the destruction of human diversity and a country run a bit like Brazil. Rachel, don’t be a useful idot and go along with a shady global agenda plotted about in the Bilderberg meetings. (A rootless people are easier to rule than one who know who they are…Like the Jews in Israel who are being spared the fate – They even have laws forbidding Jews from marrying Arabs and non Jews. Hypocritcal, when it’s mostly Jewish organisations in the west which promote the destruction of racial diversity among human’s.)

   Got on a train today in NYC; the amount of inter-racial couples is incredible. Not that I have anything against it, but god damn. I was surprised. I saw Indian and Asian, hispanic and white, etc. As for Donovan; lol. New world order? Fuck outta here. Humans have been intermixing has been happening since the beginning of time. Have you ever seen people of Northern Africa? The meditteranean has created a distinct looking peoples. The concept of race is actually fairly recent. Before, you identified by country/area of origin. For example; the ‘Persian Race’. Fact is, we’re all mixed to some degree.

   I don’t dispute that some interracial couples are fucked up to some degree, but not all. As for the ‘two cultures; difficult to inter-mix’- It all depends. For example, I’m hispanic, yet fairly liberal. If I were to marry, say, someone black; it’s no big deal since I am really ‘American’ more than anything else. I mean, I can talk rap, (some) rock and plenty of tv and internet. If this were the 1900′s it would be hard, since customs and traditions would set us apart. But if the Jewish girl I’m with is liberal as well-we’ll talk…well, ‘American’.

   The story would be different if we were VERY traditional in our beliefs and customs.

   I’ll also add that nowadays, what ‘clique’ you’re in really determines things more than race.

   and by ‘clique’, I mean ‘American subculture’.

   Whether its rap, rock or grunge.

    One of the reasons eharmony has problems with people being unable to connect comfortably interracially is because they discourage interracial dating by placing a disclaimer on their site when you are selecting an ethnicity for your matches. The pop-up says they highly encourage you to select your own ethnicity because you will have a hard time finding a match. It’s a very uncomfortable feeling to have them make that suggestion. Honestly, I felt they were telling me that they really don’t agree with interracial dating or marriage and believe you should stay within your race. I have decided not to join because of it. The owners and staff of eHarmony really need to receive Diversity Training at the highest level, because they are way off key on the issue.

    In response to Rachel;

    Hi Rachel,

    I’ve grown up in a military community, and have a few things constructive to say to help with your research. The one thing thats most important is how you grew up. Needless to say, if certain experience escape you where you live, then that means you truely have a clean slate to start on. If you are focusing on American society to base your experiments on then you have chose the perfect arena. For every nation lives here, and ‘im humble and proud to say, “we represent every nation”.

    Be careful of the hatred you read on this post. Many have excepted a truth that is bound by their hatred is true to them alone. Let your heart be your guide.

    And to those who truely have the wisdom to ad to this, feel free. And correct or affermate based on your your experiences.

    First of all I would like to say I”ve been married to my wife for thirteen years and have gone through both good and hard times. We’ ve battled through all of them. We love each other tremendously now more than ever, and have realized that whats more important is how we conduct ourselves to help and protect the other. Thats how you remain faithful. OH, and so you dont have to guess, cause i myself hate suspense, I’m black, indian, and irish and my wife is pure german, ( I met her when i was stationbed in Mannheim, Germany for six years). Just like with any sane marriage you have your ups and downs. Just because e harmony dosn’t have the experience to understand interacial marriages, or the courage to show it, dosn’t mean you can’t learn from what they don’t know.

    End

    If you wish to learn more rachel, send an email addressed to me and my wife at thebluntfamily20@aol.com
