Doesn’t matter to me

I don't know if they are more open to it or not. That would required a broad sampling with control groups to make an actual determination of statistical fact....

and this is what happens with you live with a statistitian for 17 years.

personally, race is not an issue. I do prefer to date people taller than me but thats not saying much. I'm 5'1" so 5'6" or better....

and I never intend to marry again. once was sufficient. pretty sure things havent changed in 31 years.

I think it just depends on your preferences and how you grow up. I was maybe 5 or 6 years old when I met an interracial couple. My friends and I asked questions about their relationship since we had never met an interracial couple before, they were so nice and patient with us. Meeting them made me realize that a person can marry whomever they want no matter their skin color.

I'm attracted to personality, not the color of a person's skin. Don't ask me why; that's just who I am.

theres one race humans everything else is ethnicity if you don't like someone based on melanin your a sad fcker

We’re all part of one race, the human one, some just have more melanin. Date or marry whom ever you please love is love

I would hate to think that I missed out on love because I wouldn’t look past the color of a man’s skin.

Over the years, I have dated three black men.

"You and Terry are from different cultures (Latino and English), different socio-economic classes, and different parts of the country," my mother warned before our wedding. "You will have to deal with this every day of your marriage."

"Love conquers all," we replied blithely. She was right.

"You are not family," Terry's mother told me. She called me "overeducated." In Mexico, she had only completed the 4th grade.

His mother believed I was stealing her baby. She blamed me for Terry leaving the Catholic Church, although he left the church 15 years before meeting me. Her hostility was painful.

This gives me pause.

I think more open. There is no reason for international dating/ marriage to be “bad” unless people can point to religious texts as the reason they don’t sport it.

Correlation vs causation, atheism has nothing to do with a more accepting interracial outlook. Many religions tend to have communities made up of similar races so it limits the interaction outside their race and the odds are more likely that they'll date inside their peer group.

I bet if you looked at the statistics you'd find that percentage wise the atheists have more interracial relationships than theists.

I have dated all sorts of different races. It is not an issue for me.

I was in an interracial relationship once. She was a lovely lady, and the color of our skin did not mean a thing to us. We did get heckling from strangers on the street when we walked hand in hand, but we just chalked that up to stupidity, and we went along with our joyful life together.

I would have absolutely no problem marrying someone of another "race." The truth is that humans are one race. We come in different shapes, sizes and skin colors, and we come from different cultural backgrounds. But we are THE human race. One race, indivisible. Humans all evolved from common animal ancestors, originating in Africa (according to DNA evidence). Only fools and troublemakers try separating us by skin color.

Among those fools and troublemakers are some religionists who credit their fake gods with their racism. So, to answer your question, the nonreligious are generally MORE open to dating and marrying someone of "another race." The religious have some hateful barriers to overcome.

Why would I stick with just white people? Seems really limiting. I don't really have a heritage to 'preserve' or to not date outside of, anyway.

“The heart wants what it wants." ~~~Emily Dickinson

I have never understood the issue with skin color. It is just a product of evolution. So my people were weirdos who like snow and someone else's preferred the sun. Who cares?

I have no issues with interracial dating or marriage.

We are all human. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Having taken Sociology 101, I'm of the mindset that there is only one race: The Human Race. With that said, I would definitely be sticking to my own race. ?

I wish everyone was color blind! Why are you asking this pretty loaded question?

It's the personality that counts.

Yes l would. Why? Why not? If the chemistry is there, I'm there.

Hadn't given it much thought until I saw your post. Are you talking race or colour though? In any event my only concern would be whether my dates' family are cannibals and if they're hungry

It doesn't make any difference as long as u foucs on the mentality

My theory is, without any data to back it up, that they probably are more open to inter-racial dating based on the fact that they tend to be more open minded in general anyway. But at the same time, I don't think being agnostic or atheist is a guarantee that you are open to it.

I would say it's a non-issue. Just like gay marriage. It doesn't affect anyone but those 2 people. I feel I would be declaring some sort of superiority by giving my "approval." It's not an an issue that needs approval.
