It's the year 2022 and interracial relationships have been normalized more than ever, have you....

Encountered black men/white women who are romantically interested in white women/black men but haven't been with one yet?

What was their reason?

 

Well I don't really know anyone like that but I'd say being "romantically interested" only means that they are an option, not that you will actively look for it.
I think your question would have more sens if it was "physically interested" because fantasies are not treated the same

 

Most people now, especially the young generation is open to dating outside their race, so I would assume that most people who have not dated interracially yet would fit into that category... they probably just have not met the right person yet or are already in a relationship that is not IR
I will give an example with myself as I usually do lol: when I was single before I met my current partner, I was open to or "romantically interested" in dating a black man (in other words, I was attracted to black guys lol), but was still open to dating any race. So before meeting my current partner (a black man), I was in that exact category, my reasons being I had not met anyone yet, or if I ended up in a relationship with a white guy, I would have remained in that category for those reasons lol... I would imagine that applies to a lot of people today

 

I know of some colleagues who refuse to consider it and consider me some sort of unfathomable hedonist / bohemian / experimental or avant garde lifestyle living sort of person. For them it’s a consideration of race “loyalty” or something similar. I don’t try to convince anyone, but I speak about the universality of people or class struggle, anything that doesn’t out people into racial hierarchies or boxes, to try to normalize crossing these fictional boundaries.

 

I think it's fine if people do not want to do something, it's their own right and preferences.
As long as they don't try to convince anyone that they shouldn't

 

I think dating within your ‘race’ is abnormal. And I don’t agree with not forcing people to date outside their race, the more we force people to break away from their race contentment the better off we’ll be in the long run. Let’s break the cycle, one hurl of verbal abuse at a time!

If only they’d understand the sensual over drive of the scent of foreign pheromones, and mannerisms and vocabularies and the frustration of misunderstandings and the absolute beauty of mixed babies, the world would be a much better place.

 

I kinda understand what you say but forcing people would never be a good option, though. Even more so considering you could be forced the other way around as well.
Even though some fantaisies about that could be funny. And also my 2 bfs at some point actually both said I belong to african men and it kinda turned me on lol

But that made me realized that it's already kind of what's happening, but more softly.
You actually see a lot of IR couples in TV shows, movies and ads. And in a lot of other places as well. Even in schools or educationnal instances. For exemple, a few years back, I had to follow a sex ed class. They gave us a fake penis to practice putting a condom and it was black (the dick, not the rubber lol). They also gave fake babies, probably to show how much of a pain in the ass it would be to take care of it x) and they were black babies.
And 1 of my friends recently started dated a black guy too, she said she starting thinking about it after seeing me with my bf. (and about that, going out with a black guy is a thing, having another friend dating a black guy and going out together is actually exciting as well lol)

What I mean is, it may look like little and innocent gestures about representation and things like that, but they live a small idea into people's head.
And once it's there, it can only grow.

hahah that whole response I made was just a joke :-D I don’t believe in forcing anyone to do anything.

It’s a free world and I respect everyone and their opinions. Except for racists I can’t stand them. Or people who turn their noses up to my person preference.

1% of what I say is actually serious

haha made for the African man, rawr you go girl! Wow! I’m amazed about the black penis! That’s fantastic! I seriously hope they did that bad boy justice ratio wise haha! You reminded me of when my son was born my own bloody Mum got me a black baby doll LOL! I wanted to call my son Malakhi and some other black name I can’t recall haha my whole family shut me down on it. So I settled for Bailey (although he hates his name because it’s now unisex) and spelt about a gazillion different ways.

Oh my! You see, you’re making an impact! You are solely responsible for adding to interracial ness and you should be proud :-D that’s nice that you can have some familiar gossip between yourselves :-D

All my mates apart from one who is Aboriginal (very light skinned) are all married with kids to white men. It’s such a rarity over here (IR). I remember flooring my entire family bringing my first bf (black of course) to meet my family. Although I am lucky that my family are open minded, in fact my beautiful Nanna, bless her British socks gave me a book of hers to read when I was quite young, it was called the colour of water. It’s always stuck with me that book. The message of standing up to your beliefs in the face of adversity. It’s always been so normal for me being attracted to black men. Although the actual finding of such a man is like finding a needle in a hay stack over here lol.

I believe in time we will see more and more of interracialness (I know it’s not a real word). Particularly in Europe. For it to happen in Australia we need the ratio of blacks to increase because whites are the majority :’-( I’m sick of seeing bloody white peoples hahah although lately it’s starting to look more like Shanghai and Delhi.

I honestly wish I had met the right one years ago, I would have loved at least 5 precious caramel skinned kids. Gahhh they are SOO perfect!

 

Socialist dating philosophy

I definitely don’t try convince anyone. A lot of Nigerians I know are cultural fundamentalists, believing in cultural superiority of some sort. Such people don’t need to date out, there’s no point. Dating out is for people with a high level of Self-reflectiveness (I don’t know if that’s even a word), ability to question yourself and making compromises. So whoever doesn’t want should just stick to their own.

 

One of my sons is called Malachi, but to me it’s a Bible name not a black name. I guess America would consider it differently. My other son is Micah (also a Bible name). When we were in the US a black lady at the airport tried to tell me Micah is a girl name I got it wrong. So I told her prophet Micah in the Bible wasn’t a girl. America has it’s own namology I can’t kill myself lol. My daughter’s name is Naomi. That was the best pick (the boys are jealous) because it can be pronounced both in English and German so she doesn’t have issues meanwhile the boys’ names get butchered on the daily by our Swiss German people here.

 

Oh my, I absolutely love all of your kids names and the fact they’re biblical. I didn’t know what shade my son would come out so I felt I needed to choose a range of names to suit luckily I feel the name chosen suits…. that’s horrible when complete randoms come up against you like that with their opinions, you have much more patience than me to handle situations. Nobody better say a single thing off beat to me in an airport haha unless they’re ready for the wrath of Becca!
