Are atheist, agnostics and freethinkers more or less open to dating and marrying someone of another race and why?
Color of skin means nothing. Cultural differences (which are not skin-tone based, either) can be an issue if the couple have different philosophies, or their families do, but that still doesn't make it my business, except in hoping it works out for them, because love is love.
I grew up in a Multi Cultural Childhood and having served in the Military was a plus because I got to see racism up close. Back home on the block we used to joke about it, but bunking in with the Southern Population made it apparent that the 'Civil War' was not over as was WW11 and that White Supremacy would again rear it's ugly head. I left a Corporate Job after three years after graduating from College because of the same reasons and I never looked back.
I became a Union Worker with a Masters Degree for the next 30 years where I worked along all races, colors, creeds and learned their Histories.
I learned that I have a soul which is the most important part of my integrity. I read History, Listen to Jazz, and Read every author and story regardless of race, color or creed. Everything else is bigoted as Politicians and Religious Leaders want to make it or manipulate it.
Connection and how they treat themselves is all I care about - I've been bummed that I haven't had a chance to date women that were different races (if such a thing exists). I've dated white and Asian women, no black or Indian women... but I totally would!
We are all humans and most of this stuff we call race is really so minor.
Yes. Because we're more humanist than our religious brothers and sisters. They cherish their god and what they think he wants. We cherish the human race and what's good for us as a whole. Well, most of us anyway. Thus, we're inherently more open to this sort of thing.
If two people love each other, something already as meaningless as skin color will matter even less. And I think atheists, freethinkers, and agnostics are probably a little more open to mixed race marriages, mainly because it is the religious who seem to have the most bigotry and taboos.
My wife is Korean. I'm white. I don't have a problem with it, obviously.
Why would they be different? A racist is a racist regardless of their flavour
One of the many things we learned from the Human Genome Project was that there is not enough difference between us to separate us based on race. We are all one people. So, my answer is obviously no. Love who you want. I am however against interspecies dating. Leave those goats alone!
The thought of discrimination itself is disgusting! We'll find the world a nicer place to live if we just consider human beings as human beings.
Are we less racist ???....yes, I think so.......I t hink because we are less evil, hateful.....
Well, if I had fallen in love with someone from another race, I would have had serious concerns about the racism of the general public towards us. My partner would probably have the same concerns. It would be a tough decision to say "we're going to run this gauntlet", but if the relationship were strong enough, I probably would.
In my early twenties I had dated a few black girls. One was part Japanese. I ended-up marrying two white women (disclaimer: not at the same time). They are good people, but I'll be completely transparent here: I love black women. I swore that if my most recent marriage ended, I'd go back to dating black women. It ended.
And now I'm on OkC with a specific filter because I really am not about to shortchange myself again on what I want. You don't go to McDonald's when you want a steak.
