Why Does Race Matter When It Comes To Dating? Why Is It Still Considered Taboo Especially By Our Black Queens?
Yes, It’s crazy that in the year 2023, we are still asking this age-old question, “Why Is Interracial Dating Still Considered Taboo?” Interracial dating is enjoyed by many people who are interested in dating outside their race. They do not spend very much time on the subject and they just want someone who shares their own interests, no matter the color. Online, many people are happy to see that racism is no longer such a big problem as it used to be. People are beginning to focus on other taboos of society and accept the issue of Interracial dating. Or are we really?
Despite its increasing depiction in today’s society, interracial romance is still America’s “last taboo,” But I am curious about what lies beneath the statistics and media images. Are people really as tolerant as they seem? What about the touchy area of dating? Do most of us feel comfortable crossing over and perhaps considering marrying someone of a different background? And if we do take such a step, what do we encounter? Why does it seem to tick off African American Women more than the other way around?
Nowadays there’s no simple story. Our nation itself is undergoing a massive cultural shift: In this century, white Americans are projected to become a minority; all Americans are highly mobile; and the entire country continues to absorb huge numbers of immigrants. The barriers of prejudice are persistent but constantly shifting. We live in a world of overlapping identities, subtle hierarchies, and changing gender roles. “Interracial” means many possible combinations, each carrying its own nuances and dynamics.
If you keep walking around, looking for disapproval, snide remarks, and fights, you’ll get them. You make your environment and it responds to you. If you’re swayed by what people think and do, then stick to mono-racial, same-race same cultural relationships. But bear in mind, when there is true love, it is blind.
