Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
In portland it wasn't extremely common...but was for me as I've only ever dated white guys & I'm 1/2 black and white...never had too much of an issue except when I was young with 3 boys who had racist parents...that I knew of anyway...my ex husbands parents were cool. Here in Vegas its extremely common & I get hit on by all races. I notice lots of white guys dig asians here interestingly..somewhat of a fetish almost. Def more common in general in Vegas than the west coast

This is my experience in Portland, too. In my circle of friends, the most common pairing is black women and white men. I live in the whitest city in the US, so my experience isn't valid to the US overall.

arabs and latinos depends, most I see are very dark and clearly look non-white, a lot of the latinos I see look like Wilmer Valderrama. I do not see very many latinos that look like Fernando Torres.
That said, I do have some asian and indian friends who are particularly attracted to white women but feel that their background is a major handicap in getting one. Come to think of it, I think that is possibly one of the most rare kinds of interracial couples out there. Seeing asian, east indian, pakistani, or more darker arabian men (who can look either indian or pakistani to the blind eye) with white women. Even in college towns I have been to that had a sizable number of both asian and indian men, I do not recall seeing or meeting many interracial couples like that. I do recall seeing white guys with asian girls and to a much lesser extent indian girls but rarely if ever did I meet interracial couples that involved white women with asian or brown (throwing indians, pakistanis, and darker arabs into this category) men.
One of my friends works at a bar in Vancouver and he tells me that seeing an attractive white woman there with an asian or indian boyfriend would literally turn heads and attract a lot of rude comments. Who knows, maybe it becomes more common as time goes on.

I saw a giant Lizard & an Ape walking hand in hand, does that count?
Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
Scandy01 mentioned white/Asian being common here - I'll raise the bar on that one. I hate to stereotype, but I can almost guess what part of town you live in by that comment, LMAO. I'm betting either in/near Summerlin, or in/near Seven Hills. Sadly, the "Asian chicks are gold diggers" stereoype is profoundly present here. In the "rich" parts of town, you see LOTS of well-off white guy with cute Asian chick couples.
Other than that phenomenon, Vegas is like - anything goes. I don't think there's a combination that I HAVEN'T seen out here. Even better IMO, I don't know that I've ever witnessed any racist behavior toward any mixed couples of any combination. Not saying it never happens, but it's rare here. Racism doesn't fly in Vegas, too much of a melting pot.
Personally, I've dated mostly white girls, but it's mostly white girls that are into me. I've only been with one Asian girl oddly enough, and that was more of a fuckbuddy deal. I've dated many mixed latino-white girls and several mixed-black girls. Never had anyone say anything about it, ever. I think I'd probably punch someone who did, so that's a good thing, lol.

I had a bear flirt with me last year, I suppose that would be an inter species date.

Yeah. A miniature horse nuzzled me about a month ago, so there's that.

Whirlz and Kelly, lucky girls. I'm jealous.
Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
Where I live it's mostly black men with white women. I am in that category as I date mostly black men and am white. I also like some hispanic a well. I feel bad but just not into my own race lol.
Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
Hmmmmm....is it possible that you are racist? Maybe it is because you are in a small town or something? It seems like you spend a lot of time trying to prove who is white and who is not. It seems like you are bother by East Indians and Asian men dating white women. Also it seems like you do not understand what Latino means. Latino can be anyone from Fair-skinned and blond Spaniard to Afro featured brown skin mulatto to Olive tone mestizo. In addition, there are tons of people of Middle Eastern descent and Asian descent in Latin America as well. So, yes you will not see too many that latinos that look like Fernando Torres. He is Spaniard. How many Spaniards are in Canada? I guess you are going to tell us that Antonio Banderas is not white? It is weird that you seen tons of latinos that look like Wilmer Valderrama because in California...there are tons of different types of Latinos. In school, there were tons with green eyes and blue eyes. There were tons of blond and red-haired latinas as well. They were castizos or very light mestizos.East Indians varies from skin tone as well. I have saw several East Indians with green and blue eyes and olive skin. Also a lot of people can tell Middle Eastern men and East Indian men apart. If you been around them....you would know the difference. East Indian people and Arabic people look nothing alike. In fact, I could tell the different between them. However, I must confess that most Arabic people that I have seen are very pale. I also have an blond-haired Hmong friend as well. I guess these varies genetic variations would blow your mind, huh? :) WHO CARES!!! JUST DATE WHOEVER YOU WANT :)

Interesting fact: Supposedly, 70% of Caucasians have some African heritage.
I myself am mostly Irish, with traces of Hispanic, Asian, African, & part Canadian native american.
So I'm a blend all to myself, anyone w/me is with multiple personalities along with above mentioned blended heritage. :)
Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
Ah yes but what language do the voices in your head speak, that is the real question.............
Re: what interracial couples are common in your area?
I agree this is a weird question to ask in 2014 because so many people are mixed with so many things it's hard to tell what anyone is. I don't see why it matters anyway.
But I WILL just add that a week or so ago I went out for drinks with two black guys and I'm white and I really felt a lot of stares at every bar we went to.. mostly from other white guys. I felt a little uncomfortable but I was having fun I don't see why anyone would care these days. But I have heard rude comments from white guys about white girls being with black guys. The whole thing is just so old school though it's 2014 people!!
