And here is one that surprises me. Couldnt find any pics of them together but apparently Eliza Dushku is dating freakin Rick Fox (former Laker):eek::confused:

Feel free to add more ...

[Reigh Kaufman]

Why?

[echo_bravo]

Why?

Just something I noticed I guess. I, myself, am in an interracial relationship right now so, it sorta intrigued me a little.

What? He actually managed to UPGRADE Vanessa Williams? That's truly baffling.

Anyway, I can't think of any, but I think it's interesting to see a couple white men with black women here. Granted, one of them is David Bowie (?) and Iman, but as a mixed child, I notice that most interracial couples are black men going with white women (my parents, for example). Society kind of leads us to beleive that getting a white girl is like an achievement for a black guy, so that's what they try and do. It's disgusting, but that's the way it is.

[overwatch]

Bobby DeNiro and his wife.

[the clever guy]

Thomas Jefferson and his wife/girlfriend/slave.

[Heisenberg]

I agree with Reigh, What is the reason for this.

I dunno. I like to think that's far less the case than it seems to be.

Oh jeez.:p

which one is martha

also i'm glad joblo's is finally covering this hot button issue

[Pentangeli]

Ignore the haters, Echo. Obviously this is a celeb forum, it fits the forum, and is obviously of interest to some people.

Zoe Saldana is with a white actor.

Kristin Kreuk and Lucy Liu date white men.

Vanessa Minnillo is with that Nick guy (ex of Jessica Simpson)

Have you seen Robin Thicke's wife? stunningly beautiful woman.

Hitchcock had is blondes, and if I ever become a filmmaker i'm having my asians and caramel/black women.

[Abbie Normal]

Again, why?

agreed what is next? People who were married and now gay? Silly.

Why wouldn't she be?

I mean no offence to echo whatsoever, but the thread is passe by about twenty years, and highlighting celeb couples who date outwith their own race implictly suggests that there is a deviation taking place - even if it was started with good intentions.

Better to just accept that we are attracted to who we are attracted to and ignore the obvious differences.

This post has been sponsored by United Colours of Bennetton.

[Pentangeli]

Silly.

In this day and age, I didn't realise there would be people opposed to interracial dating.

If the OP were bashing the scenario, then it would be silly. But he isn't doing that. He's writing on a celebrity forum, about a celebrity matter which interests him, and clearly interests others. What's the harm? who's been hurt because of this? what rule has been broken?

No rule has been broken.

I still think it is redundant to highlight who is dating people of a different ethnicity.

Again, no offence intended to echo.

I doubt anyone believes we're talking about a revolutionary matter.

What difference? why is difference a bad thing? I'm white, I prefer Eastern Asian women. Some black men have a thing for white women, and vice versa. People are attracted to the differences.

This thread is just as pointless as anything to do with celeb culture. So why do you specifically have a problem with this?

[Reigh Kaufman]

Because, despite the good intentions behind it, it is/was asking us to acknowledge the differences with no context as to the intentions behind it. I simply asked why?. As in what difference does it make who fancies who and why does the fact that they are from different ethnicities matter?.

It was simply for clarification, and he did that when he said that he was dating someone of a different race and the topic interested him.

I still find it redundant. You ask why I care? I ask why you don't care?

P.S. You never did answer my response to your post in the Cannes thread.

Oh no worries dude. I appreciate all the responses. I swear I had innocent intentions behind it.

And someguy, interracial dating is still pretty "taboo" to a lot of people whether it be in America or Europe.

For example, I am now dating this black female down here in Atlanta, Georgia and we went for a stroll down Atlantic Station one night and you wouldnt believe all the cat calls and rude comments we heard from some really drunk dudes. We both laughed it off but a couple of these black dudes were saying some inappropiate shit.

Also, I dated this chick from Sri Lanka in college and she told me she had to keep me on the "down low" from her parents cause if her mom and dad found out she was dating some white boy, they would probably disown her ass.

[Pentangeli]

]I still find it redundant. You ask why I care? I ask why you don't care?

Why would I mind? I'm surprised anyone got offended by this thread. Obviously some people are into interracial, others clearly aren't. Those who are presumably like to see it replicated among the beautiful people in Hollywood.

The adoption issue?

I absolutely understand. I can't remember the thread, but I posted about the night my life was saved by two CID officers investigating a credit card fraud at an off-licence. I was walking with my ex-girlfriend - Dawn, black - in Stirling high street when a group of white kids (and they were kids, but there was over twenty of them, in my defence) started racially abusing Dawn. I challenged them in a fit of rage and...two passing CID officers stopped me from being knifed when they left the off-licence only to find these kids about to kick the shit out of me. Two were later charged with possession of an offensive weapon.

I could have kept walking, ignored it, but as you can tell - I have a big mouth.

;)

I was once charged with drug smuggling, facing twenty years. Lucky for me I found one of my past Joblo posts which proved my innocence.

You're starting to sound petty. You asked me why I had an issue and cited exmples of your "open-mindedness" (you like Eastern Asian women! Amazing!).

I was talking to echo about a shared experience of how racism was pertinent to this thread and remembered a 5 year old post to show that I wasn't just making things up.

It's not "evidence". It's an experience we have shared, and helps me understand the point of the initial topic.

Who cares if you find it relevant?

Ah! one rule for the great Reigh Kaufman, a different set of rules for the rest of us.

Petty? says the man who replies with "so what?......so what?.......so what?". Or "why?" in questioning the thread as if the O.P needed your permission first.

And now you've cited examples your "open-mindedness" (you like black women and defend them against twenty strong hoodies! amazing!).

Oh it's relevant. I just found it funny that you run to your post history to prove it. That you feel the need to prove it, or to think that a past post does indeed prove it, made me chuckle.

also i'm glad joblo's is finally covering this hot button issue :D

Someone come find me if Eliza Dushku and Kristin Kreuk hook up with each other. That might actually be worth talking about.

[Tweek]

I did not think this thread would go in this direction. How. Very. Odd.

Seattle is considered a pretty diverse and liberal city, but I've gotten that reaction when with a 'white' friend of mine.



Anyway, that Heidi Klum sure is purdy.

[outsyder]

And here I thought David Bowie was just straight up gay. Howaboudat?

[The Postmaster General]

I always thought it was slightly sort of funny that he was with a woman named Iman.

[drc5145]

The Eliza Dushku reveal surprised the shit out of me because...well, Rick Fox? When the hell did Rick Fox go out with someone relevant again?

[rocknblues81]

Sanaa Lathan seems to have it for white dudes. She is always playing along side a white guy it seems like and she has dated some in the past. There are actually a number of these relationships, but oddly I forget about them. Megan Good used to be with Joseph Gordan Levitt.

There has got to be more black actors with white women. There also is Kate and Jon if you want to count them as celebs.

Why are people jumping at Echo here? I'm also a pro IR guy and sometimes I like to talk about couples when I see them. What is the big harm? I don't see the problem in talking about it sometimes.

[Pentangeli]

Cuba Gooding and his wife.

Quincy Jones was once dating Nastassja Kinski

And more WM/BF: Aisha Tyler and her husband. Zoe Kravitz was with Ben Foster (but that's mostly about different skin color, as they're both Jewish race).

[echo_bravo]

Taye Diggs is married to Idina Menzel (actress/singer).

I feel for Taye Diggs. This dude gets clowned on all the time in XXL and the Source or some other publications geared to the black community. He is hinted as being a "sell out" by many.

Definitely not limited to black/white couples.

By the way, who is he with? She is gorgeous.

The wife. They had a kid together recently.

Does Iman really count? After all, she's a shape-shifter. She could be anything.

And on Seal... am I the only one that identifies him as being British before identifying him as black? Probably.

And on Roger Ebert and his wife, I've posted this story before, but I'll say it again just because I think it's so funny:

I work at a movie theater. These two guys come in to the movie. They are regular customers and in their late 40s/early 50s. One of them picks up a flier that has a clip from an Ebert review.

First guy: Oh, Roger Ebert... did you know he was married to a black woman?

Second guy: (somewhat distracted) Yeah, Condoleezza Rice.

First guy: Really?

Second guy: Yeah.

First guy: What?

Second guy: What?


That was when they realized they were having two different conversations. Always cracks me up to think of it.

[Sgizzy316]

it's funny that people argue this post in general. Talk about walking on egg shells. The man just posted a new topic. All of a sudden he's hosting clan meetings. The world has gotten too sensitive. Over acknowledgment is prejudice within itself

Wow. Thank you. Really. Thank you.


I, sir, will shake your hand with delight.
