Coffee Hour: Are You Down with the Swirl?
This discussion comes up a lot with me and my home girls. Are people really into interracial relationships? Or "down with the swirl." Are they only accepted in Hollywood? This is a question I ask myself all the time. Do interracial relationships really work these days? There was a point time where people of different races weren't allowed to date, but with those walls down people still turn their nose up at the thought. Read more about this after the jump
Love is said to see no color, but how can you build something with so many obvious differences. When people come from different backgrounds, they tend to lack things in common. Why is it acceptable for a latino woman to date a black man, but when a white woman dates a black man she gets looked at with disgust? That shows that times have not really changed. Women still feel certain ways when they see their men with the opposite race..

"I really don't see anything wrong with it. All men are dogs in my opinion. White, Black, Spanish, and Asian they are all dogs. But I will say that White men and Asian men treat you a lot better, because they ain't never had the darker berry" - AllThatsFab.com Female Reader
Now people like that can sometimes come off crazy or racist, but that is how a lot of people think. Those same stigmas from the 60's and early 70's are still relevant. Some think it hard enough to make same-race relationships work, it's probably more difficult to make a interracial relationship successful.
Now what do you fab readers think? Can interracial relationships work? Don't look at the celebs in opposite-race relationships, look at the everyday real world. us at AllThatsFab have gone back and forth about this topic, so we want to knwo what all you fabulous people think..
