ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY - INTERRACIAL DATING
RESEARCHING THE ISSUE
Interracial dating is not mostly an issue here in the Philippines. Interracial dating is where you are in a relationship or dating someone with different citizenship. A lot of Filipinos or other races are penetrating this case due to more benefits, due to love and also because of personal cases. This could be one reason why there are many Filipinos that migrate to other countries, mostly in the United States and Europe. Interracial dating doesn't only apply to men and women, it also applies within the LGBT community, like the recent case of Jennifer Laude who has been in an affair with an American soldier citizen but has a German

I have a classmate in my World tourism class where my classmate is a Filipina, is in a relationship with an Indonesian guy but he's also my classmate in that subject, as I can see, they are both enjoying their company together especially when they talk about traveling and tasting foods from both countries. Next is you can learn other languages, you could be bilingual! You get to compare how you say I love you in other languages. You can also have beautiful children too, if you can last until you marry each other. Imagine having a baby with blue eyes or blondy hair. Isn't it amazing? And lastly but the best, you could travel into their country and explore more about their life …show more content…
We, also as an audience should give the couple their personal time to talk about their family background, their culture, their ways of living and also on how they treat their partner in their country or in their race. Another solution is to give each other a chance to understand both family sides within their living to avoid conflict and below the belt conflicts. And lastly, I think all countries should also have their Anti-Discrimination law like in the United States, so that equal rights and there should be no shaming of each person's culture, and for people to understand and respect other people's outlook in
At this point, interracial marriages aren't frowned upon au contraire, it is accepted in society and set as a goal for some. Many offspring of the black diaspora are open to the idea of interracial marriages, however, for the ones who were raised in the traditionalist manner, the subject may not be an option.
My two-page mini-ethnographical research paper on the co-culture of American Americans only barely touched the tip of the iceberg of my experiences and what I have learned about African Americans during my research and post research. I chose to study the co-culture of African Americans because of its significant historical roots in our United States society. While I gained insight into this culture values, norms, and social practices by applying Edward T. Hall’s High and Low Context Cultural taxonomy factors in analyzing my discoveries. I also learned more about African American history such as, one, chattel enslavement – these types of slaves could
1. Since interracial marriage became legal in 1967, only 7.5 percent of marriages are between people of different races. This means America is progressing, but it is not yet “color-blind”. People of different races are starting to date more (which shows the progression) but it is less likely to lead to marriage, compared to same race couples. Henderson and Rockquemore talk about how Americans believe we have developed a “color-blind” society, but they don’t specify what American think that or where the information comes from. This means the Americans they are referring to could all be in same race relationships. If that is the case, then the people who it matters to the most, the people in interracial relationships, might not think the same. Henderson and Rockquemore then go on to say, people in interracial relationships feel unique external pressures due to racism,
The need to understand each other better and live in harmony is a reality and must be approached using multiple techniques including conversations. We must talk to each other to smooth out or differences and embrace our common attributes. Most conflicts are resolved after some form of dialogue. To stop discrimination or negative stereotyping of individuals or groups of people we should try to embrace conversations which will eventually lead to new laws that can protect the basic human rights of people and allow for people to be true to themselves without having to hide, cover or pretend to be what they are not,.Yoshino suggests using “reason-forcing conversations to address people forced to cover”(557) this conversations should occur informally and intimately in settings such as restaurants and should underscore certain reasons which include illegitimate issues such as homo phobia opining that such discourse are where tolerance can be made or unmade. The laws that govern our society should be dynamic allowing for changes that accommodate our human sensitivity and allow us to live together in better harmony with each other and our
Individuals in today’s society either suffer from being the minority’s and deal with the possibility of discrimination or they are of the dominant culture and receive many benefits. According to Burma (1946) states, “This passing of the legal Negro for white has been well known for over one hundred and fifty years” (p. 18). By participating in passing, one is able to get out of slavery, eat at better restaurants and better occupation opportunities. People are willing to give up their family and cultures in order to be a part of the dominant culture to have more privileges and lead a better life for them and their family.
When a person of color is in a relationship with a white person, their relationship is often met with great tension. The history of issues with interracial relationships in the United States is long. Loving someone across the color line was once illegal, but now that segregation is over, more people are having interracial relationships.
Many would agree that segregation is no longer a pressing issue. Although it has been outlawed since 1954, society still implements a similar mindset, especially directed towards interracial dating. Some still believe that people of different races should not form relationships, while others deem it as acceptable. The following researchers use methods like surveys and interviews to analyze the connections between societal judgment and involvement in such relationships. Each study, providing slightly more insight than the previous, suggests the fear of social conflict creates skepticism towards mixed relations.
The previously discussed reading, Brown by Rodriguez, is an introduction to the idea of being “brown” and the implications that come along with that identity. He states that it is a gray area because people in the category do not have the privileges of being white or receive the repercussions for being black. “Assimilation” and “Who’s Irish?” are both continuations of this idea. The two short readings are different in their plots, but address several overlapping ideas.
Both of these marriages may be unhappy but the cultural difference among them, which results into shattering the idea of Mr. kapashi’s friendship with Mrs. Das. Mr kapashi felt the cultural difference between him and Mrs. das was way to vast and hence he did not even wanted to think about having any further personal conversations. This teaches us how two entirely different people can carry one mutual heritage but being brought up into different cultures can be very different and UN mutual. Looking back in the story we realize and feel how important it is to keep our cultural believes when it comes to interact with different people as we are not only representing
This stage of my adolescent life was very memorable. This was the time when my life was becoming more complicated as I struggled to find my own racial identity, and constantly questioning myself, “Who am I?” “Where do I belong?” while facing the pressure of “fitting in” as a biracial teen in prejudicial Asian society.
This paper provides an understanding of the context of mixed marriages that happened in the pre-independence period in America by examining their origin and development to the present era. The paper will examine marriages between the black and white community and later look at the Anglo-American unions.
In conclusion, society needs to consider the feelings of interracial couples. A person may not agree with interracial relationships, but they do not need to discriminate against them. Even today in the year 2002, society has its problems with interracial relationships. Through education and the way couples raise their children, the problem or problems facing interracial couples will diminish.
One of the reoccurring themes that became apparent throughout the interview was the concept of relationships, culture and avoidance in dating. Dating is the process whereby two people meet socially for companionships, beyond the level of friendships with the aim for suitability as a partner in an intimate relationships or marriage. The process of dating is impacted by past experiences, family dynamics, cultural, beliefs and customs. These relationships produce a strong connections between family members, education, cultural. The young man, interview #2 stayed away from people from the same culture because, of avoidance of finding a mate similar to his mother. He stated, “I have dated someone form the same culture but,
Love is blind; not even race and color can stop it from happening. There are supplementary and additional marriages of people from different countries. In a marriage with a person from the same country already have distinct differences once each was taught by different families, went to different schools, their idea of the world is different and in general, their way of life is different. By judgement, a marriage with people from different countries has even more differences.
... people see the most and come to regard as the most prevalent in society. To deal with this issue, Brunei should include our wedding cultures in education, and show it in documentaries on television.
