Is there any interracial dating going on in CH?

shake

I live in Crown Heights and I notice the diversity of the neighborhood. I started to notice that there is no real interaction between the different nationalities. So I started to wonder, are there any interracial couples in CH? And when is the next barcrawl?

You are kidding right ? Brooklyn is a haven for interracial dating. Just on my street alone in CH I know of two interracial couples.....

shake

Two couples isn't a haven, but I do understand what you mean.

I am really suprised you haven't seen more. I personally hang out with a pretty diverse crowd and often date outside of my race... as my friends do too...

Seriously, everyday walking home from the train I see black, white, asian, hispanic, west indian all interacting wether its conversation, friends or couples... etc...

I'm in an interracial marriage and there are several other couples on my short block alone.

My wife and I are an interracial couple. Of all the neighborhoods we've lived in NYC, the Prospect Heights area has been the most hospitable to us.

i am in an interracial marriage as well and know about a few more on my block too. I wouldn't say is the "norm", but it's not uncommon.

Subject: huh?

I'm also in an interracial marriage, as are many people in Crown Heights (if you buy the B.S. about there being different "races" of humans). Are you living under a rock, dude?

shake

I hang out with a pretty diverse crowd as well, when we are out and and about it's like the United Nations in motion. I just don't see it. I'm on Franklin and Eastern Pkwy and there seems to be very little interaction amongst the different races. I will open my eyes. And no, I'm not under a rock.

I don't think there is a lot of interaction between newcomers and oldtimers, between economic classes, or between young and old, but all that is different than interracial dating/marriage. I think a most of the couples that make this their home didn't necessarily "meet" here. So you really might be asking a different question.

When one drives a (insert make), suddenly the road is filled with them.
Go for a spin...

My wife and I met in Crown Heights and still live here. In fact, when I moved in to my (now our) current apartment in eight years ago (about a year before I my wife), the previous occupants were another interracial married couple. Interracial dating/marriage is all over Crown Heights.

Er, make that: "...(about a year before I met my wife)..."

> How many would consider it?

I'm white, I have dated an Asian, but I haven't dated a black. No real reason, I suppose. I certainly wouldn't have a problem doing so. My sister married a great guy from Queens who happens to be black, but she hauled him back to AZ.

I really don't even pay attention to it, honestly, but thinking on it I can definitely recall more than a few interracial couples I have seen in the area.

I find the term "interracial" soooooooooooooo outdated.

I mean, why don't we bring back words like mulatto and quadroon while we're having the conversation...

eesh...

Multicultural dating?

Although I suppose many could be considered multicultural in and of themselves.

I'm with you...why is this even worth noting at this point?

(ok, back to the stroller fight on another board...)

Anyone ever see that website "Black People Love Us"? This conversation is making me think of it for some reason.
