Like the title says, what do you think about interracial relationships (For example, an Asian man married to a black woman) and interfaith relationships (For example, a Christian man married to Jewish woman)

Personally, I see nothing wrong with it. After all, Tommy Wiseau said "If everybody loved each other, the world would be a happier place" or something like that.

Regarding the success rate of relationships, I think with interfaith relationships, it depends on how strongly they hold to their respective values. With interracial, it's similar but with prejudices/sense of racial identity. I assume the fact that these relationships were started was because at least one of the parties was already willing to make compromises or had a looser sense of racial/religious identity to begin with. Basically, it's only an issue if you make it an issue.

It's not inherently a bad thing and anybody who says otherwise is a lolcow. But at the same time both racial and religious differences can make it harder for somebody to actually understand and get along with their partner, which is already somewhat of a challenge in itself, but if they can get around that they should be fine.

it's more work for the people because it usually means there are some cultural barriers between them, but if they are willing and able to work as a team most of these things can be overcome.

i figure people with EXTREMELY different religions are probably not gonna fall for each other in the first place let alone get far enough in a relationship to get married.

I don't care about other people's relationships in regards to those things. I can't see myself marrying a man who has extreme religious views in any manner. I'm not going to wear a hijab, go kosher, or start confessing sins. Race doesn't matter so much as height (tall woman) and there just are some that on average are short. It's not a skin color thing though.

I mean it may be weird dating someone of a different race who has different customs than you and may take a little time to adjust, but I see it like this. A) are they hot B) is their personality bearable C) are they faithful? As for religion, it really depends on how tolerable the religion/person itself is and how far your willing to dedicate yourself to said lover. I for one am not gonna go full Mormon anytime soon or dedicate myself to a life of Islam so extremes like those are off the table for me

Race-mixing on a small-scale isn't that big of a deal. That being said, if we lived in an alternate reality where everyone had children exclusively with members of other races, it'd be like taking every existing color and mixing them together. Instead of having a vast variety of different colors, you just end up one, single color: black. Everyone on the planet would essentially be a "mutt," but even uglier... but we thankfully don't live in that timeline. Once again, it's mostly okay if only a handful of people do it.

As for inter-faith relationships... you can certainly try, but I'm 99% sure that that shit ain't gonna' work out.

It takes a deep case of autism to actually get worked up about race mixing, especially in literally current year.

Every argument against it I ever see is pearl-clutching over "tainting your genetics". Aside from the fact that's a legitimately racist perspective, it always feels like it's coming from a place of deep insecurity. Like these people have nothing to be proud of so they default to white supremacy and think proliferating the "white race" is some moral imperative.
