what interracial couples are common in your area?
in my area it is latino men with white women for some reason. I tend to see a lot of Aaron Hernandez lookalikes with light haired blondes, the kids usually come out looking either completely white or some kind of mediterranean.
From studies I hear only black men with white women and white men with asian women are common.

All kinds and it's no big deal here.

Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
All kinds here as well. FL is def not racially homogenous. Idk abt other areas but here I find that relationships tend to split more along religious than racial lines.

You must be in South Florida then because I am friends with an asian guy who is dating a blonde, he lives in North Florida and says he has heard a lot of racial slurs there and plans to move out. Tells me that he has even been confronted when he has been out with his girlfriend, must be one crazy place!

I grew up in S Fl true, & you are right that N & even parts of Central Fl are a different story. I have lived all over Fl, went to uni in Pensacola. My best friend who lives up there is biracial & his fiancée is white, he has told me they have had their share of shit slung at them for it. My bf is Latino & I am white, we got weird looks in DMV sm times but ppl don't look twice in S Fl.
Oddly the only times I have been on the receiving end of racial dating hatred were from two guys I was actually dating (a few yrs apart & neither of them was my current guy), or thought I was dating, but it turned out they had other ideas.

Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
I'm a mixed race girl ( African/English/Cherokee/Slave descent American ) and I live in Miami.
Surprisingly I've had a lot of problems with interracial dating.
A white girl is like a prize to non white men, where as most white guys, or guys who aren't black usually can't handle dating a non white because of their friends commenting on my race or skin color, or the looks from strangers.
My friends who are all different races don't even mention things like that when I introduce them to a bf. They just want to know if he is a good person.
As for strangers looks, I personally am not bothered because I think they're looking at my good looks or in wonder at our relationship which is not a bad thing. People are curious, I know I stare at interracial couple with pride or happiness.
So that's my experience in south florida.
In Dallas, Texas where I lived for a year I dated a Korean guy and no one really looked twice at us and he wasn't ashamed of me at all.
That was a shock! lol

This is a sad but very true thing I've witnessed.
When I lived in NYC there were all kinds of mixed race couples and considering this is NYC we're talking about, there are way more unusual things to see than an interracial couple.
I moved up north to the rustbelt where the population is mostly white and I hardly see mixed race couples. I think this is partly due to the population being mostly white. However there are some towns and villages in the area where I imagine there are none, think Appalachia backwoods towns.

Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
i grew up in very rural, backwoods white trash towns my entire life, so didn't see many interracial couples because there just weren't many non-white people around. an interracial couple there woulda been irish and french canadian lol.now that i'm living nearer to boston, i see it a lot more. they've collected data from dating sites about different races and which are more popular with which race..i find it all pretty depressing and shallow. asian and middle eastern women are the most popular according to these studies, while white men are the most popular,

Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
Here it's every combination possible but I've noticed a few things:
Mexican and Central American girls tend to date white guys, whereas Puerto Ricans and Italians date black guys.
I'm currently dating a light skinned Puerto Rican who speaks terrible Spanish and is always delighted when he is mistaken for Caucasian.

Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
Here, the Asian woman + White man mix is popular within the Asian community. In fact, I've only ever seen one other Asian man + non- Asian woman couple in 2 1/2 years. Even in Guam, it was rare to see an Asian man + non-Asian woman pair ( I knew of only one couple in all of my years of residing there) whereas the classic White/non-Asian man + Asian woman couple was uber popular.

Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
So I guess my area is the only one where it is very common to see white women with latinos, and I mean the ones that actually look latino and not white guys like raul esparza.
Also in my experience, Italian women really hate black guys for some reason. Surprised to hear that it is common for italian women and black men to hook up in Phili.

Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
In South Central Texas where I live, interracial couples are really common and very much accepted. I've seen mostly Hispanic girls with white or black guys and lots of white girls with Hispanic guys. I've rarely seen white girls with Black, Asian, Mediterranean or Indian guys. My older sister is marrying a white guy and my younger sister is dating a white guy. In my experience, here in Texas, being White and Hispanic are almost the same thing. Growing up in my neighborhood, all my friends were either White or Hispanic, but they were not a lot of Black, Asian, Mediterranean or Indian families. I think my grandparents generation have more of a problem with interracial couples than my parents or my generation.

Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
do the hispanic guys in texas that are marrying these white girls look white or do they look more brown like adam rodriguez and mark sanchez?
The reason the hispanic category is so tricky is because I have latino friends that look completely white so to us they are just white people with different sounding names. I do not consider say a Messi dating a white person to be interracial but I do consider adam rodriguez dating a white person to be interracial if you get what I am saying.

Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
I'm white and my husband is Mexican. :)
We are from the OK/TX area.

Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
No, I don't get it, nor do I get your interest in the topic, but cool.

Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
Speaking of the Hispanics who look white reminds me of my potential boyfriend. He is Mexican and Italian (mom is Mexican and Italian, dad was Mexican)yet has blue eyes and does pass for completely white. I probably have some Hispanic and Native American ancestry down the line and I am definitely darker than him. His one sister is a blonde and his mom and his whole family (his dad is deceased look like just regular white people. I don't think his siblings even married Mexicans.
My brother is married to a black woman and her best friend (black woman)is also married to a white man. I also know several black men married to white women. Few people bat an eye but I'm in Illinois and even our conservatives don't tend to be racists.

Mostly they look "Mexican", I guess. Some look like they could pass as white, but mostly tan skin, dark hair, dark eyes.

Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
I'm married to a Latino and he's quite dark skinned, while I'm super pale so we stand out. Our son definitely looks Mediterranean, and I think most people wouldn't be able to tell exactly what he is. meanwhile our daughter looks more typically Latina.
I don't go out much but I think it's mostly Asian women with white men around here. I've seen a few black/white couples too.

doesn't vancouver have a high population of south asians? I've always wanted to fuck an indian girl after watching sunny leone, have heard that they are into white guys too but not that many around where I live.

Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
Actually, the hispanic category is just really strange because it tends to cover everyone of Latin American descent. They could be blue-eyed blonds from Spain to Afro-Latino from Cuba or Colombia. Your latino friends could just be white spaniards with Spanish surnames. Some of my Mexican exes were very European look despite their Native American heritage. However, some of them will get mad if I said anything about their European features...they prefer their Native American heritage over their European blood. Which was strange because many of them were paler than Bela Lugosi. LOL. Meanwhile, I never really thought about interracial relationships because my family has mixing with Mestizos and Romani (Gyspy) for decades in the Caribbean and Latin America. Dude, it is not really a big deal.

Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
Mostly, I have seen East Indian women with men of their own racial group.In California, I have seen a few with white men and one with a black man.

Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
The better question where I live is "What Interracial Couples Aren't common in my area?" It's a literal mix of and every race , so I see every combination possible.
It's the main thing I love about this city!

About half of Latin Americans are white. Would you consider Leanne Rhimes and Eddie Cibrian (2nd generation Cuban, both parents) "interracial"?
In Austin, there are tons of white Latin Americans (like myself) with Anglos. Intercultural, maybe, but not interracial: same with most Middle Easterns/Anglo unions, since Middle Easterns are Caucasians.
There are also Amerindians with Anglos: very common in the wealthier suburbs of Austin. However, the most common seem to be AA woman/Anglo man, and Indian/Pakistani woman with an Anglo man.
Up in Killeen, the statistically more common ones (East Asian woman/Anglo man and Anglo woman/AA man) are the common ones. Waaaaaaaay too common I'd dare to say.
Many interracial couples are comprised of an ugly person (often a fugly Anglo) and a good looking person (usually the non Anglo). This is good, for it's an improvement to the gene pool.
