A wise man once said, "I don't discriminate no.. not at all."
Illya says he tries to switch up his relationships and dating often. He compares it to the NBA because you never know what team you might be playing for, you're always trying to find the best fit. So that ties into trying to find the best fit when it comes to a woman. I'm an advocate for an interracial relationship, I'm all for it. I wouldn't make any assumptions about my partner because of their race. There are a lot of stereotypes that might make one think a certain way about an individual. It's definitely a learning experience because we are all taught to value different things growing up. It's an adventure, you're exposed to new cultural experiences you probably would have never taken the time to do yourself. One is going to feel more connected with their culture whether it's music, food, interest etc. For example, imagine bringing your white girlfriend back to the hood, that's one hell of an experience they would have never planned themselves. Dating a white girl will have you on all types of outdoor adventures and eating unseasoned foods. All jokes aside though it's fun, as long as there is an understanding of what's at stake with the world we live in today. You guys will have a lot of opposing opinions and might not have a lot in common.
Top 5 biggest issues with interracial relationships..
1. Being socially conscious of how you look
One most likely feels more comfortable in the privacy of their home or among each others families. Everyone feels a little weird out in public, especially if it's a black man and white woman. I believe black men have a predisposed notion of just having a weird feeling towards it.
2. living with assumptions of everyone around you
So much hate and predisposed opinions about ones relationship makes it hard to feel comfortable anywhere. People are going to judge you no matter how perfect the relationship and no matter how much you love your partner.
3. wanting to be apart of family events
The appreciation of each other cultures. It can be tough to try and adapt to someone else's culture when you've had yours instilled in you all your life.
4. when people ask what's wrong w your own race
You don't control who you love, therefore nothing wrong with your own race or any race. Everyone has their own definition of love, but it is a deep feeling of affection towards something or someone. As long as you love your partner it shouldn't matter what race they are it's about finding the best fit for you. Especially because it is your partner no one else's.
5. being accepted by ones parents
Being able to meet the family and feel accepted/ comfortable. You don't want to invest everything into a relationship that has no future especially if the family doesn't accept you. The race of the family can have a huge impact in who they decide to be with or even marry.
