Everyone has heard the infamous "When I was your age." line. But what does that really mean. Traditions, activities, and other things such as separation of races are just some things that have changed since our grandparents were "our age." My grandparents attended school at a time when all schools were segregated. Traditions such as segregation have changed dramatically over the years. The idea of separating races has come a long way since the 40's and still has some ways to go still. One main tradition or belief that was looked down on was interracial dating, and is still done by some today. Interracial dating is a good entity though, it teaches people about the similarities and differences in other cultures, and it is showing up as a manner of life. Although well known, there are some negative effects associated with interracial dating.
Interracial dating is not just limited at all to just black and white relationships. It happens whether a person is Latino, Islamic, Polynesian, or Asian. It is just a matter of a couple having been brought up in two different cultures. And when God filled this world with different people from all walks of life, he intended no two people to be similar. But there is one thing that god did intend for all of us to have in common. He intended us all to be humans, for all to live, breathe, and eat. A big benefit of interracial dating is that one may find out something about another culture that they would have never known if they had not dated the person from that culture.
