I'm not against it at all, despite my parents closeminded-ness and racism. My parents are conservative Indians (Hindu, to be specific), and they've expressed their vocal disapproval of one my cousins marrying a muslim woman. They also don't like the idea of me marrying someone of any other race. They'd prefer a guy who wasn indian (preferably from the same caste), but if I married a white guy they'd be "okay with it".
Blegh.
As for me personally, I'm not attracted to men in general (or women, or anyone really) so it's not been a problem so far. What ever happens, happens, but I can't see 'race' being a determining factor for me. Love is love.

I have no problem with it. I've dated a few outside my race, but I'm more attracted to similar coloring it seems.

Race really doesn't mean anything to me. Of course I'm attracted to people of other races.

I find some other races attractive but not all. I have never been with anyone outside mine but would not have a problem with it. Some family members might, but its not about them.

I'm fine with it, but I'm not usually attracted to others outside of my own race. I'm usually only attracted to Caucasian, maybe some mexican, and some filipino.

Same here. To each their own, but my family would never approve.

I'm attracted to... Men I find attractive and that's about as deep as it gets for me. lol

Although, according to my fair skinned, medium brown haired, hazel-eyed husband, I tend to find dark-haired, fair to swarthy complexioned men the most attractive. He came to that conclusion based on the actors, models, 'real life' people I've mentioned I find most attractive. Weirdly enough I'd never noticed this trend until he pointed it out a few years ago.

I don't care about race so much as the personality of the person.

Race is not an issue for me, I've been attracted to people that are not my race.

I have never dated outside my race, never found anyone I was attracted to. If I did, there wouldn't be anything at all wrong with it, my family would totally support it, just as long as Im happy.

My ex spouse was from a South American country, we met in Germany at a language school where we were both learning German. So that was our common language for several years, I never did learn Spanish. She however, became quite proficient with English.

I'm attracted to people, and that includes people outside my race. I am currently in an interracial relationship.

Thankfully race and color barriers are coming down. I recently went to Boston on vacation, and was pleased to see that all barriers seemed non-existent out there.

I've dated within and out of my race, so yes, attracted to both. =] My parents worry about cultural differences, but as long as the guy's good to me, they don't care. =]

Mom thought I'd marry an Asian guy. If I had actually dated around, there probably would have been a good chance of that. Certain African American guys have caught my eye before, too. But.. I've only ever dated hubby, and here we are. He's white, just like me.
