Interracial marriage - would/did you do it?

I personally like the individual and not the “race” they belong to. I live in a western country - and sure there are Pakistani’s here - but the chances of me marrying a non-Pakistani is pretty high up there.

I’m going to be the first to marry outside my race [unless my younger sister get’s married before me to a guy of another race] and I can’t wait to see how the family back home is going to react. It is going to be awesome. The funny thing is that my dad didn’t even consider his children getting married outside his caste [unless it’s a higher one - never one below] let alone race. Then I broke the news to him: The chances of me marrying within my race is pretty slim. He would be the up-tightest regarding this issue but my mom loosened him up. My mom thinks that as long as the guy converts then race doesn’t matter. My dad still made jokes like how I will bring home a black guy saying “hey man, hey man, hey man” doing a gangster walk and trying to feel up my mom’s bum [he was joking around]. I find it really sad how it’s always the black person that are picked on by most Asian families. It irks me when someone stereotypes a whole race like that.

I’m all up for marriages where two people who love each other get married. And if that means interracial/interfaith marriages then I’m giving it a triple thumbs up !

How about you guys? How would your families react? Would you get an interracial marriage done?

What is your background? Are you a Muslim, or a non Muslim?
