"I've got the same opinion on mixed race relationships as I have on any. There will be difficulties. Some of them will be based on cultural differences, many of them not. I was in a mixed race relationship which failed, culture played a part but not a major one Cultural difference I imagine is a huge factor. My partner grew up in similar spaces to me so I think that’s made our relationship easier. Funnily enough I never thought I would’ve dated outside my race until I met her. And it was mostly because of perceived cultural differences and preferences around culture. " But I met her when I was 17 tbf. I was ignorant | |||

"I was just wondering what everyone’s views are on mixed race relationships? I have skin in the game, as I’m a product of one, but I’m curious to hear other people’s opinions. " No views other than if you feel a connection and attraction to a person then you need not worry about any other thing at all. | |||

When the cultures are radically different, that’s when the problems arise. Unfortunately, it’s the children who suffer. | |||

" I understand what you mean. The cultural difficulties are usually the main problem." This. I work in agriculture and they worked in horticulture, we tried to make a go of it but the cultural differences were just too great | |||

They can be overcome but I think one person will need to make bigger compromises than the other. In my experience they work best when one tries to fully embrace the culture of the other | |||

" That’s why for me it was important that my fiancé was socialised in similar spaces to me. As in, had been in schools and friendships that reflected similar cultural things to my own. So it wasn’t new for her. We like similar music and food and she understands language in a similar way to me. If that wasn’t the case I don’t think we’d have worked or, like you said, it would’ve been harder and taken a bigger embracing of culture. A factor is, growing up in Britain as a person of colour, your experience is of British culture and British cultural values. So it’s easier to navigate that if your partner is white British for example than it is for your white partner to navigate your Jamaican family’s culture (unless they’re used to being in that space like I said) | |||

Nobody in the wider community was terribly tolerant towards me . | |||
