Would you marry somebody of a different race?

[Pacific Councillor Big Wiggly Style]

Holy bump, Batman!

I've never had another against people of another race, but I've just never been attracted to girls (or guys) of another race. So no.

[Emperor SJoyce]

I wouldn't, simply because I don't really find people of other races attractive. I just don't.

Well if you read through this thread you'll find yourself in fine company with a gay South African who also happens to be a dedicated racist.  

Well it's not a conscious decision and not anything I can change, so what do you expect me to do?

I realized that in retrospect after I made the post -that's why I deleted it.  I am just going to assume (until told otherwise) that you will not marry women of a different race simply because you aren't attracted to them -not because you find white women inherently superior to them.    

I know plenty of people of other races who are women, and they all seem like fine people; I just aren't physically attracted to them. Nothing wrong with em, but just not attracted to them.

[Senator Napoleon]

Why not? But, I am for the most part, mainly attracted to white women, and Europeans especially are preferable to American women. I can't explain it.

I dunno, maybe it's genetics, maybe it's a subconscious socio-cultural thing; it'd be an interesting thing to study psychologically, actually.

[ModerateCoward]

I voted wrong before I thought about it.  I voted no, but then I just realized I totally would marry a Kenyan woman if the opportunity presents itself.  My vote should be a yes.

lol

[BaldEagle1991]

Almost every women in my area is of a different race so, yes.

[ChairmanSanchez]

I am not attracted to most African Americans or Hispanics, so no...but its not impossible, of course I would not marry outside my religion, however.

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

Of course I would, though I've never been attracted to any black/Asian/Hispanic/Native/anything else besides white men before. But then again, all my crushes are fictional.

...so alone...

[Beet]

My preferences, to the extent that I have them, are culturally determined. After three hours of watching the film Zulu, I found myself much more attracted to Bantu women than I normally am. The important thing was that I could locate them within the culture. I realize that this is just another form of fetishism, but then that is why relationships can't be based on sexual attraction alone.

[Mr. Morden]

So other than Kenyan women, you would only marry a woman who is 31/32 white and 1/32 Native American?

[Emperor SJoyce]

Is that a policy set by your church or is it something you've decided? Also, would you marry somebody not of your religion but who has a possibility of converting to it?

[MustCrushCapitalism]

Asian women are pretty hot.

I'm not into the whole marriage thing though.

Its a personal policy. It would lead to needless problems. I would never force my spouse to convert.

Agreed on the Asians. Disagree on marriage.

What I mean is, if there's a girl you want to marry, who's not a member of your religion, who's open to and interested in it, but hasn't joined it but might do so in future?

I don't have any real desire or attraction to other African-Americans or Asian, Asian-American.  I wouldn't mind a Native American girl, either Potawatomi or other tribe, no matter the amount.  Mostly, though, other than Kenyan girls, I am attracted to predominately white girls.  And, really, I am more attracted to the whites than I am Kenyans.

I will put a tag on the back of this by saying I will gladly accept whomever the LORD brings my way.

Yeah.  I feel this way, too.  The denomination wouldn't be entirely important to me, though.

[fezzyfestoon]

I plan to

[BaldEagle1991]

Almost every guy of every race I know is attracted to Latinas. I guess they're the most likely to marry out out of any race/gender combination.

[Tender Branson]

I wouldn't marry at all.

But if I would, then of course.

[Fmr. Emperor PiT]

     The probability of that happening is extremely low. Not zero, but close enough that I consider it such in practice. So I guess my answer is no.

Am I the only one reminded of this video (4:10 to 4:25 mark):

I'm a little lost as to what's so different about Kenyans compared to others from East Africa, but OK.

[Gustaf]

I remember this thread. It's a bit scary in how much racism is going on in it.

My answer is yes, of course.

[Formerly Californian Tony]

How can you ask such a question ? I have no damn clue who I would or would not marry. Love depends on factors which are far beyond human comprehension and rationality.

[Bacon King]

I date outside my race more often than I've dated within it, so it's probably more likely than not.

[Old Europe]

Depends on the woman.
