• The Best Places in the US for Interracial Love Posted by Admin

    While interracial marriages are on the rise, some states have been integrating their love affairs for a long time. As natural melting pots, New York City and Los Angeles are often looked up to as the friendliest places for interracial dating, they actually match the national average for new mixed race marriages.

    Give Your Heart to San Francisco

    Known more for flower power and a throbbing musical beat, San Francisco is one of the most integrated cities in the Continental United States. Less than half the population declares an all-white heritage. Its blend includes a thirty-three percent Asian population, a diverse concentration of Hispanic heritages, African/Americans, Native Americans and Pacific Islanders. According to San Francisco residents, it’s more unusual to see couples of the same race than couples with a mixed race heritage.

    Border Love in the Rio Grande

    Because of highly vocalized politics, it seems unusual to consider Texas a prime location for interracial dating, yet the Rio Grande has been integrating its courtships for over a century. The interracial connection can be traced back to the Civil War, with black settlers moving into the area and marrying ethnic Mexicans soon after their arrival. By the turn of the twentieth century, new waves of black settlers moved into the booming agricultural hub and quickly joined the ethnic blend. It continues to be a place of interracial, inter-ethnic marriage freedom, despite efforts since 1949 to separate black, white and Hispanic cultures throughout Texas.

    West Coast Turn-Around

    In general, the West Coast has more tolerant views, with Portland, Oregon polishing its interracial buttons as one of the most rapidly growing regions for mixed race marriages. Stripping the national average of a fourteen percent rise in interracial couples, in Oregon, twenty-four percent of newly-weds have a spouse of a different race or ethnic origins. Seattle falls a little behind, but Seattle residents say it’s because it’s always raining and the only color they can see is gray.

    Icy Escapades

    Bundle up. The frozen north really has a heart, and it gets warm enough for a little romantic love. Alaska is the second most integrated state for mixed race marriages and interracial relationships never looked better. It has the highest Native American population by percentage, with over a third claiming an Alaskan indigenous heritage. Haul out your fishing equipment. The Bristol Bay area, with a broad mix of Native Alaskan, white and Asian residents claims nineteen percent of its population is of a mixed race. In the 1970’s, over sixty percent of Alaskans claimed a white heritage, but the number has shrunk to just under half as more and more Alaskans check the box for “mixed race”.

    Aloha

    Hawaii does it best for bringing out the welcome wagon for mixed race couples, but it’s had a lot of practice. It has led the United States in mixed race marriages for decades and sees no reason to change the statistics. Nearly one third of the island marriages are among mixed race couples, four times the national average. Although Islanders say not all the problems concerning their racial and ethnic diversity have been worked out, it’s still the best place in the United States for mixed race dating

  • The Dos and Don’ts of Interracial Dating Posted by Admin

    If you’ve found yourself attracted to someone of another race, rest assured that you aren’t the first person to be experiencing the worries and concerns. Interracial dating is more and more common in today’s melting pot society. Nonetheless, it still comes with complications more than that of same race dating.

    Interracial dating has different rules and expectations. Some of these are subtle, others glaringly obvious. This article is here to point out some of the basic dos and don’ts of interracial dating.

    DO keep an open mind

    This is a really important point to note. It is really important to respect the other person’s cultural background and be open and curious about it. You should ask questions and engage yourself in their cultural background as your relationship progresses.

    DON’T think interracial dating is so strange

    As said earlier, you’re not the first person to be in an interracial relationship. In fact, interracial dating is more common than you may think. You aren’t going to be the only mixed race couple to be walking around town. Thinking that your relationship is strange and odd instantly makes it harder for yourself to accept it.

    DO focus on the person

    You are dating a person, not a race. This is something to keep in mind. When you date someone, you date them for their personalities, hobbies, and interests that have attracted you. You aren’t dating them just for their race. Race is part of the person, but it isn’t the defining feature or quality.

    DON’T date for a fetish

    There are some strange fetishes surrounding dating someone from a different racial background. You should be clear about your intentions, and your partner’s intentions, when dating interracially. Dating for a black fetish isn’t going to get your too far in the long run.

    DO invest in their culture

    Your partner has a cultural heritage and background that is completely different to your own. This is an exciting chance to invest time in learning about. Share your own experiences and allow your relationship to grow and flourish. Combining cultures means you get to experience the best of two unique worlds. This is a rare and exciting chance.

    DON’T put them on a pedestal

    Just because your partner has a different race to you doesn’t mean that they have superpowers. They are still just human and need to be treated equally to you. Racial inequality is the last thing you want to occur in your relationship, even if it is unequal because you admire their race so much. Ultimately you don’t want to draw too much attention to your racial differences.

    DO maintain your standards

    Everyone has standards when dating. If the person you’re with doesn’t meet your standards, don’t be afraid to leave. Just because they have a different racial background doesn’t mean they can compromise your standards. You need to be happy with yourself in your interracial relationships by maintaining your standards.
