I'm black African and my wife is Bangladeshi. ALhamdulillah we faced no problems at all from anybody. We just got on with it and although we do get the occasional look, its usually all good. Alhamdulillah

I have recently ended a long term mixed r.ship. She is Indian and I am Black. She is from a very strict family and they expect to arrange a marriage for her in the future. They said they would disown her and threatened suicide if she was to bring someone home that was not from their ethnicity. I think if you have care about someone race should not come into it. In my case the drama wasnt worth it so we ended it. Its sad that these attitudes still exist.

I'm white and from the north of england where it seems theres alot more racial tension. I've lost friends been in fights sometimes ending up in hospital over people being racist to me or my girlfriend. this has been both from the black and white comunity. the biggest thing pain in the backside is the staring. people give this certain invasive stare while me and my girlfriend are just holding hands or just generally relaxing in public.

i fink it is perfectly acceptable to have a relationship with someone of a diffrent ethnic minority there is nothing wrong with it at all if you feel for someone you should be able to have a relationship with them and not question it because you think you mite be judged it is a good thing that people are mixing it makes the generation to come more beautiful......

i believe that no matter what colour you are or where you come from matters if 2 people attract each other and they happen to be of a diffrent minority it doent matter as long as you love each other and treat each other right i thibk it is perfectly fine to mix for example a white girl with either a black boy or mixed race boy there is no problem with that at all so mixing races should continue to go on no matter what some people may say there is nothing at all wrong with it

at the end of the day, it is more common than ever for people to be in mixed relationships. u can't always help who you love. as long as you are loved for you and vice versa, then it shouldn't matter what ethnicity you are. whereas when kids are involved, as long as both heritages are embraced and the child is aware of both cultures, i dont see the problem.

ive been with my patner for 4 years now, im white and she is mixed race, we have never felt any predjudice at all in fact complete the oppisite, she has a very big family as i found most black familys are, and they have been more open and friendly than any white family i have ever met. also to any mixed couple out there who do get grief, its all about you so although it may be hard but close your ears to all the haters and enjoy your relationship.

I'm Indian and if I was dating an Afro/Caribbean man, if I knew our relationship was long term, and generally you should know this quite soon into seeing each other. I would introduce him to my folks. Life is just to short and if they don't like it be prepared to build bridges, because sooner of later they will come back into your life asking for your forgiveness. Big up to Fatima and Mark!
