Interracial relationships have always been the deal in Hollywood, and although in real life the Loving vs Virgina case dates back to the distant 1967 and we have come a long way since then as a society it is almost safe to say that a mixed race couple would still raise some eyebrows in some places in the world. Think about suburbian Philly for a moment.There are quite a few reasons for someone to lecture against interracial relationships , stating different color ( although a bit of a cliche nowadays) , different mentality, and most importantly different religion, especially in a world where something happens everyday due to religious fanatism. But is that all really important when love is in the air? And are these reasons even valid enough to set us back 50 years, when interracial marriages were punishable? Thankfully , in modern societies that is not the case any more. But prejudice, and bias against interracial couples, or just plain curiosity are still a burden to bear.
Surely, different race, customs and religion can prove to be an obstacle to the happily ever after. Life after all isn't a movie. But then, not all interracial couplings are black and white people, or Asian, Catholics and Muslims, like no two fingerprints are the same in a planet of 7 billion people.I still vividly remember a case of a couple living in my neighbour hood years ago, an African construction worker and his Caucasian wife. Going to their house for a visit was quite a blast.They had managed to create this magical fusion that went far beyond race but was rather a celebration of diversity. And this is not an exception by any reason.
Being in an interracial relationship requires a lot of effort, hands on experience.How would you react if someone rubbed your girlfriend's cheek to see if her foundation was her actual complexion, or people wondering how your children would look like. Or wondering why your Korean beau felt attracted to a black girl and not a Dane and thought that you were obliged to answer just because curiosity is a human weakness.
People generally forget that it also killed the cat at times. But on the other hand, getting to know the world through its differences p is worth the struggle.
An interracial relationship is all about fighting the stereotypes we are constantly fed and our world is full of such stereotypes , even in our day and age where the Internet brings everyone together.
Visiting the Korean in -laws could be proven more beneficial to someone's personal evolution in the long run, and don't forget the possibility of learning a foreign language and new recipes . After all , a little fun never hurt nobody.
