Mixed race relationships?

Yucca · 19 Apr 2006 at 17:33

Ok i didnt really know what title would be best so just picked that one^!

I was wondering if anyone here is in a relationship (or are married) where one of you is a different religion, colour ect ect.

If so, do you find it difficult to explain to each other why you think what you think about certain things and explain your traditions cultures and religions.

The reason i ask is that my parents are both India born Punjabi Sikhs who have been here since they were quite young. I was born here and have always lived here. Although i know quite a lot about my religion, traditions and cultures, i am quite westernised to as i have grown up in an all white area.

My girlfriend is a Catholic white British girl. I find it hard to expain my cultures and traditions to her.

Can’t believe you going for boring English girls Asian girls are class Mmmmmm

I’d marry an Indian girl any day they’re well fit. Only problem their so much harder to pull than white girls

I disagree. I pulled an Indian girl in a club and my mates have never let me live it down

What because she was a minger or because she was Indian??

My mother is hispanic, and father is german. They get on like a house on fire.

Its great. Both cultures fit in like a jigsaw

If you have similar personalities youl be fine regardless of culture.

He probably has racist mates

Johnny Girth · 19 Apr 2006 at 17:54

No, just that she was an Indian who wasn't that attractive.

wolvotim · 19 Apr 2006 at 17:59

what the difference between that and a minging white bird??

Johnny Girth · 19 Apr 2006 at 18:07

Exactly there isn't any. I was pointing out that saying Indian's are better looking than white girls is silly. And to say they are harder to pull is equally silly.

Probably get stick for this but it is my opinion so entitled to it

Mixed relationships don't sit well with me to be truthful it just looks wrong, maybe its something to do with having to line all my smarties up in rows by colour before I can eat them (my ex used to say I almost had enough Autistic tendancies to suffer from Autistic Spectrum Disorder

).

Nothing to do with being racist but I think it devalues both (note BOTH) bloodlines if a child is born in a mix raced relationship.

I am not sure that some cultures mix too well either but that is more down to individule cupples and could be said about many aspects of a relationship.

So your saying im a mongral(sp?)

Well I think that personal preference isn’t it. Everyone can’t be attracted to the same type of girls.

lol every indian girl I seen is quite hairy in ALL the wrong places :eek:

Well not all....

No offence though

Its hard to explain things that you have been taught and believe since you were a child to someone who probably has completly different views, especially if yours surpass logical explainations. Thats when you get the :confused:

face. Tbh, if you cannot explain it fully and she cannot understand ~ whats the point in the relationship? You should be able to explain with ease and her be able to at least accept it otherwise you are not made for each other.
I think you are silly though, there are an unbeliavable amount of girls in your own race/religion who are nice both in looks and personality and I dont just mean in the UK. They are much more compatible to you, I dont mean that in a racist or offensive way. At this point I suppose the love aspect and the "we will take whatever comes at us" attitude kicks in, Id have believed that a while ago but its just trash talk to me, she will probably cheat on you at some point anyway, thats what happens so much with relationships now especially in the UK/USA.
Id rather be happy with someone whose in the same race/religion as me, as they would only fully understand you and it cuts out the family feudes, racist remarks, etc

Thats my view anyway.

Colour etc... doesn't matter to me.

Do you mean that you cant explain it, or that she disagrees and women aren't meant to do that?

spirit · 19 Apr 2006 at 18:23

mmm aishwarya rai

personally im not to sure on this, there are a lot of fundamental/cultural differences which i guess can be overcome, it may just require more work, beats me.

You confusing him with a muslim :confused:

iirc Sikhs are nothing like that.

Nice bit of bigotry there, well done :rolleyes:

From wiki regarding seihkism

Sikhs do not have a gender for God nor do they believe God takes a human form. All human beings are considered equal regardless of their religion, sex or race.
