A french guy's views on interracial relationships

oh yea, just how different is acceptable in europe than in america?

yea, i say america has a racist problem.

It's like France doesn't have a problem with race. He did mention in the video that sometimes they receive some negative reactions. And I wonder how people would react if his girlfriend was Muslim.

he might 've been talking abouit his stay in america for sometimes having problem as you mentioned. he did mention where he lived, very few problems.

Well, yes, I'm not saying that America is less racially divisive than France and other parts of Europe, but that it's not a utopia. And again, if his girlfriend was Muslim, it would probably be worse for them than it is in America for interracial couples in general.

Would a muslim girl date a white non-muslim guy though? None of my muslim friends, guy or girl, said they would date anyone not muslim. I think muslims are very particular about that type of thing.

Well usually if someone is muslim most of the times they would ask their boyfriend/girlfriend to convert to muslim. Especially if they marry converting is something you have to do no questions asked.

Yes, but realistically, how many people from the western countries would actually convert to islam for their muslim boyfriend/girlfriend? 5% at the most?

First of all, I want to say that I have a lot of respect for your view on this matter. There is nothing morally wrong with interracial relationships. I would definitely date a woman of any race other than my own if I were attracted to her. But on the same note, I find it very difficult to see a good looking white woman date outside of the white race. Yeah I know that is really hypocritical. The fear is, obviously, that there are differences in the races and that these differences are the cause of why someone may be dating outside of their own race. I think you may catch the drift as to what I am talking about. Most women say it doesn't matter and then there are the select few white women who prefer black men over white men. I personally think this is racist, but nobody ever accuses them of being the racist. Its always the white man who is the racist. If there were some way to prove that race absolutely played no role at all in a woman's decision to date, lets say, a black man then I would have absolutely no problem with it at all. Evidence suggests that race does play a role in a woman's decision to date black men at times. I really think this may be the major player in these types of issues. I have also had issues when I talk to an attractive black woman where black men were angered by this. So this issue exists on all sides of the spectrum. Its not just supposed racist white men. Lets face it, most men are protective over their women. It doesn't necessarily mean that they hate, dislike, or even think other races are inferior. Its more of a concern about what that race has that your own race doesn't have. And thats where the problems begin. I do believe that Love supersedes it all. And if 2 people are in love then the rest doesn't really matter that much. I hope that when white women and black men are in a relationship that this is the main focus and not the rest of the garbage. If I knew this were the case then I wouldn't care about the relationship existing at all. There have been instances where I didn't care. Sometimes I also wonder if more white woman prefer black men than what meets the eye. They are just not saying it because it would cause problems. I am honestly considering going asian these days out of the fear that I get into a relationship with one of these white women. I don't want someone who thinks or feels this way.
