Challenges...worrying bout what everyone else thinks about it
Benefits...you fall in love with who u fall in love with -
The challenges seem rather minimal these days except for what Holly mentions, there are still a few that think ill of it in which you may have to deal with their negative responses.
I think there are many more challenges with cross-cultural or intercultural dating. Obviously due to the cultural differences, language boundaries, etc... -
Its a challenge not to say any racist jokes in front of the in-laws. -
I suppose you get stared at most of the time and that's a big challenge. -
If you love someone you should never think about what other people are going to think. Love them for who they are, and love yourself for who they make you. Forget your differences because they don't matter.-
Agreed. I often forget that my partner has a different genetic heritage than I do - and I'm sure she does the same. All I see is the complex, wonderful, beautiful woman she is.

Challenges: Mom may not like it. Oh mom!
Benefits: Great target practice against mob of black guys with my GLAC!-
jeremy

I don't think the challenges and benefits of interracial dating are any different than dating someone of the same race.
Society is always going to come up with reasons for certain people not to be together, but it all comes down to love.
Love is love.-
Agreed. Love is love.

I have found that sometimes I just don't want fried chicken
but sometimes I do, so it kind of equals out ;p-
lol!

Benefits are your children will be beautiful. And smart. And intelligent enough to join the Canadian Forces.-
Yes, children get the best of the best in the gene department...gorgeous, healthy, and intelligent.

When people are having sex with animals what's a little interracial brush? -
Challenges: My Daddy won't like it, but I'm a grown-up now, so he can't stop me. Benefits: No more than with any other person of any other race. Relationships are relationshits and vice versa.
-
Challenges: None.
Benefits: Same as any other girl.-
I think the challenges are the same as any other girl... they are all crazy.

-
depends on the surrounding culture -
the fact that you assume certain things but the other person does not really understand your perspective but you assume they they do and then one day you realise that you have been looking through a different window at the same thing -
Benefits: Pale skin and freckles.
Challenges: All the "woo"-ing (instead of clapping) at concerts and other public events.-
Who are you dating? Bruce Lee?
-
Bruce Lee "waaahs."
-
-
Challenges:
Differences in race, religion, politics always make relationships more challenging. Living together, getting married, having kids, dealing with money, etc. are already challenging enough.
Benefits: I agree with Holly. You love whom you love. -
what's a life without challenges??? i rlly never cares what people thinks... -
Challenges: convincing yourself you really care about this person.
Benefits: mostly imaginary.-
Profound, you are married. Would you say you are happily married? What's your take on it?
-
I'm happy, so in that sense I'm happily married.
-
That makes sense. Personally, I see relationships more for the companionship and mutual support aspect, not the end all and be all. People think I'm crazy for thinking that.
-
Basically, it's a matter of friendship. It's nice to have somebody around to do things with. Aside from that, I don't take it too seriously.

You may be sold for a penny and no less, basically not respected by some, fear of not being liked or accepted, intense jealously especially if you are dating a good looking one, misunderstanding some cultures strongly differ, with children they may loose their identity, less freedom of what to say to each other and many more ....
Benefits... love and riches of two different race -
I think it just depends on where you live in the world.....i have a Particular attraction to guys with blue eyes.....we can't help what we fancy I guess. Back in the 1980's in the UK it was rare to see a black and white person dating.
The guy i dated was an Italian...one day his mate turned around and said 'what do you give her on Valentine? A bunch of bananas?' I laugh now...but it was the kind of comments total strangers had no problem offering. So i think the main problem to it is everybody else! I also have a mixed culture child, I feel she benefits from both worlds and so does she.
