Interracial Romances

Inspired by a post that a blogger called Planet Tokyo 101 at Love for Asian Guys did recently, I really have to agree with her on the issue of interracial romance. If parents think that a kid should not go out with someone outside their race/ethnicity, then that is just racist. I personally think it is up to the person to decide who to go out with and if that person is of another race/ethnicity other than what the dating person is, then oh well! I think we all need to get past this idea that we have to date inside our race/ethnicity. Last time I checked, it was okay to date someone of another race/ethnicity or even someone from another country who lives in the U.S. or whatever floats your boat. If there is love there, then by all means pursue it. If you truly enjoy being around that person, then by all means pursue it!
