Answer
Hello
Well I don't know many reasons why someone would be against interracial dating, but I know a few. I really think you should try checking out some other resources as well. The only reasons I can think of is that people may feel people not mesh too well. Like for example a Hindu Indian and a Caucasian Christian. Many feel that these relationships might be better off not happening because of the conflicts with religion and culture. In this case it's not about ethnicity but has to do with cultural barriers that may be better off left alone. Many might not like it because of stereotypes. In this case it's still racism but for example many black men are seen as thugs. A parent may feel uncomfortable with their child dating a black man because they may think they are a thug. So some of these reasons results from stereotypes. Anyway that's all I can think of at the moment. Good luck and I hope you do well on your essay!
Melissa
