Dating Outside your Race / Culture
Are you OK with dating outside your race?

Maybe it's all in my head and people really are accepting of interracial couples. To be fair, I live in Canada so it's a million times easier for an interracial couple to survive with out the stares and whispers.
I grew up in a country where at that time this wasn't accepted. I don't know if it's accepted now. A lot of it has to do with the politics in the country that I was born in but it's instilled in the adults who then ingrain it into their kids who then does the same thing to their kids and their kids, kids.
I personally have never believed this even though my parents tried to imprint into me. I was friends with everyone in my class as a child and when I came to Canada, my whole world expanded. There's so many different cultures and races in Canada. It is truly a multicultural country, at least in the GTA area.
Why should you limit your knowledge to only your culture? What makes your culture better than someone else?
We are all human beings, we all bleed the same colour.

Online dating and social media has made connecting with any and everyone so much easier, so why should you limit yourself?
Some of you might say that you're not discriminatory against other cultures because you have lots of friends that are of different culture and race but yet, you're not willing to date outside.
I get it - there's a lot of outside voices and influences. You're afraid of your parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, neighbours, and even friends.
- Don't date outside your race because you'll look cute
- Don't date outside your race because you'll have cute babies
- Don't date outside your race to get back at your family
___________________
- Date outside your race because you met the person who you want to be with; because you love them.

I've let outside people into my life - it's exhausting and draining! You won't be happy until you decide to take your life into your own hands. At some point of your live, you have to decide who you want to be.
I always knew who I was - which is someone who never saw colour or race but the actual person. I did make mistakes though but that's how you learn - by making mistakes.

The more you're around different people, the more you'll begin to realize that you might actually have more in common with certain people who just happen to be of a different race or culture than you.
Now saying all of this, you do want to find someone who is just as accepting of you and your culture as you are of theirs otherwise the relationship won't work. You can't have only one person compromising in the relationship.
The best way for people to accept your relationship is to educate them. Let them know that it's ok...the world won't end. They're humans just like you.
One last point - dating outside your race / culture DOES NOT mean that you hate or don't accept your own culture. If you find someone that loves you for you, then they will support you and your culture.

Remember - if you're honest with your partner from the get go and you know who you are as a person, you'll be fine.
