Online Dating: Opening Up More Doors for Interracial Relationships

Simply put, interracial dating is the act of dating a person who isn’t your race. It could involve a white man dating a black girl, a black girl dating an Asian man, an Indian man dating a white girl, and so on.

Back in the days, interracial relationships or even marriages were shunned and outlawed in many countries.  Not only in Africa, but also in the United States of America. In 1967 however, the Supreme Court invalidated all laws that prohibited interracial relationships in the United States.

Today, more societies across the globe are more accepting of the idea of dating between people of different races. Studies suggest that online dating sites and apps are significantly contributing to the recent spike in interracial dating, and even marriages.

It’s important to keep in mind that interracial relationships aren’t just a ‘’black and white affair.”  Most images we see on the media surrounding interracial relationships often cite white men with black women or vice versa. Interracial relationships involve all kinds of couplings from different races.

Dating Sites

Thanks to the rise of dating sites such as Tinder, OkCupid, InterracialDatingCentral, or Match.com, dating culture has experienced a significant shift over time. This is despite the fact that online dating has received its fair share of criticism through stories of scam artists and dates that have gone wrong.

More and more people are experiencing the goodness of interracial love with each passing minute. According to the United States Census Bureau, interracial marriages continue to increase at a steady rate. Recent research has shown that the percentage of marriages involving interracial couples has risen from 7 to 10 percent over the last 15 years.

Some delighted people boldly share stories of how they’ve found their dream partners through mixed race dating and experienced their happily-ever-after. This is an excellent proof that online multi-racial dating does work out.

Advantages of Interracial Relationships

Learning Opportunity

Dating someone from a different race and culture gives both partners an opportunity to experience a new culture.  This may involve different rituals, different foods, religion, or family structure. These new experiences may help you become more open-minded.

Breaking Stereotypes

Marrying someone of a different race from yours gives you and people around you the opportunity to break negative stereotypes about respective races. It also provides a good example to ignorant and hateful stereotypes, and hence creating awareness and reducing racial discrimination.

No Dull Moments

Interracial partners never run out of things to talk about. Both partners have so many wonderful and diverse things to share. There’s always a thousand ways you can have an incredible experience in an interracial relationship with the one you love.

Genetics

This is a major pro of interracial marriages. Two people from different races create children, and the results are unique and beautiful. In other words, the children inherit the best of each parent.

The main benefit of interracial relationships is the fact that the two partners in the relationship get to be with the person they love. This is actually the only good reason to be in any relationship, not just interracial ones.
