UK Interracial Dating
The UK has accepted interracial dating much more in modern times, although different cultural backgrounds may still cause problems in such relationships. Issues can also arise when family members have traditional values.
For example, cultures where arranged marriages are traditional may not accept interracial dating, and some hostility is expected if family members do not approve of your choice of date.
Problems can occurr when the role of women in society or the roles of both men and women in general life often differ from race to race. For example, white women dating black men are warned that they may be expected to take on all domestic chores.
No matter how alike you appear to be, interracial dating can be much more of a challenge than a conventional relationship with someone of the same race. It is worth thinking about who will make the effort to speak the other language, which country will you live in and if children come into the equasion, what religion and language would they learn?.
