Like the words of Mohammed Ali (The greatest). All is not well when u see a Tiger courting a Lion, nor a Leopard making friends with a panther, although they are all of the same cat family.
Although I do not totally share his view. But really when u see mixed race relationships, each party must have seen something quite exceptional in the other. It doesn't just happen.
That is why I got involved with an Canadian Eskimos(Inuit). For someone to be able to stand such low temperature must have a high degree of tolerance.

To this topic i am indifferent. Because i don't see why it should be an issue(though i know it is for many) I am indifferent because i believe when people meet and strike up relationships, there is something that draws them together and when they fall in love it is great. You can't help who you love, I do not see colour in Love. So i am INDIFFERENT
to say i am for would mean in a way i am saying there is something special about two races together , when really people fall in love all the time. To say i am against would mean i am restricting my views to one that says colour is a big deal and must be kept separate.

Interesting topic. Let's consider some things, shall we?
First of all, the concept of "interracial" suggests that there exists (for purposes of empirical definition) at least two races. However, the word "race" is, itself, not definable in empirical terms. Thus, "interracial" has, de facto, no definition.
But that's being a purist. Let's assume that there is such a quantifiable thing as race. Given how long people have been inhabiting this planet, and given the variety of those groups of people, we can safely say that most (for argument's sake, not all) of these groups have met with, socialized with, fought with and, yes, even bred with members of other groups. Those offspring then continued doing so for generations. Indeed, apples don't fall far from the tree.
This being the case, have not most so-called "races" already been "mixed" due to the individuals themselves having each being the product of generations of "interracial" liasons?
AND, is not one of the advantages of sexual reproduction (on a biological level) that it affords variety? Indeed, does this, itself, not perhaps suggest that "interracial" relationships should be encouraged to allow for the expression the best traits of the "races" in as many offspring as possible?

Having the options of for, against, and indifferent suggests the following:
for - you want everyone to have interracial relationships against - you want nobody to have interracial relationships indifferent - you don't care about the personal choices of other people if they decide to have one or not.
I suppose I am indifferent. I don't think one needs to force someone to have one view over the other. I've had relationships with several people of different ethnic/racial backgrounds. Fundamentally, there isn't really anything that different about it. I'm attracted to mostly the same things and race/background is a very small factor.
The way race influences my relationships is that when considering physical attraction, there are some things which attract me more with someone of one ethnic background than another.

Although the Icarus Girl by Helen Oyeyemi really scared me (the child's psychosis and attack by an "Ogbanje" was as a result of her being from two different cultures) I am still for inter-marriage. I think (or at least I hope) it will promote respect across cultural borders.

Personally, It doesn't really matter to me, as long as you believe in God and you ain't crazy. But at the same time, I do kind of have this thing for white guys. I don't know, it's just something's so different about them besides the obvious difference in skin color. But I don't mind a little chocolate and spice every now and then. lol.

don't see anything wrong with inter racial relationships if it works for the individuals involved but they have to go at it with their eyes wide open and conscious of the pit falls involved,culture clash e.t.c

I am against it because it almost never works. I always advise against it but if it makes anyone happy, they should do it.

Considering cultural differences, it may be hard to relate to your partner on certain levels but having said that, I am indifferent, don't think it's wrong just as long as your comfortable with eachother. You may find love and someone who has the qualities your looking for in a different race but what it boils down to is how you respect eachothers cultures.

If someone ever was in mixed relationship never will say straight yes or not. because is impossible. I'm FOR because If two people are matured strong personality it will work, because they realise the huge different between them and will try to find the middle for them. They really know how hard work it is to keep this relationship working. And both of them will work on that. I'm AGAINST when see two people who says "ohh is like in heaven" We are the same, there is no difference between us. ha ha ha. This relationship will never work. When the difference is coming out they wont do anything. It would be too hard for them to understand is not heaven - is just life. To keep mixed relationship (doesn't matter is because of colour or religion) u have to do much more bigger work that with nonmixed relationship.

Its not personal is just that what i see. When people don't realise the big difference they will have big problem to keep the relationship.

Indifferent. What happens when the person is aging? We all know that people who don't have black skin don't age well. I beg to differ.

everyone should be able to date who ever they fall in love with. Its a pity that during this day and age, there is still so much hype if you date outside your own race or tribe. just imagine how the world would be like if you could date from any tribe or race or nationality without raising any eyebrows. It becomes worse for us Africans, whites can easily date each other without prejudice. Here in South Africa its common to find a white English South African with a White Afrikaans speaking south African. u find a white American with a white british, french, Italian, Russian, Serb e.t.c without any problem. There is nothing wrong with dating other races but its still tough for an African to do so because of the hype that surrounds it. we africans can't even date from each other without raising eyebrows. While still at varsity i once dated a naija girl, but couldn't last cause them naija brothers niggers(no love lost) made is so miserable to date her, until we decided to be just friends.  there's in nothing wrong with dating a whity you just have to be strong to resist criticism from friends, familly e.tc then you are home dry.
