Interracial Dating

This is a post that I am looking for a lot of feedback on. I’ve personally heard many opinions from people, including friends and randoms, about the topic of interracial dating. Opinions including: 


A. “I would never date outside of my race.” 
B. “I would date outside my race, but I would never marry outside of my race.”
C. “I would never date within my own race.”
D. “I don’t have racial preferences when it comes to dating or marriage.”


I've also have had conversations with people who try to vindicate and justify this logic. "Oh I don't want to date someone from this race because they act this way" or "I would love to date someone from this race because they do this".  Not only do those comments show that they lump races into generic categories ( or that dreaded word STEREOTYPES), it shows that they actually base their dating life off of these stereotypes of how they think a person of that race could possibly behave without getting to know that person on a personal level.


I, myself, fit into that “D.” opinion on interracial dating.  It would be a slightly new experience to me because I’ve only dated outside of my race twice, but I don’t see myself actively limiting my choices of a potential partner based on skin. It’s hard for me to wrap my mind around the idea that someone could be okay with possibly missing out on a blessing because of “skin preferences” or because they’re scared to try something different. 


So, my questions: How do you personally feel about interracial dating/marriage? Have you ever dated someone outside your race?

Corporate.

        When I first chose my major (Public Relations), I did a little research. I had always loved the field, but I wanted to gain a tad bit more knowledge about it. Through that research, I had noticed that most people in this field end up working for large PR firms in corporate offices. I literally burst into tears.  Are you serious? So are you trying to tell me I'm going to be in a damn business suit every day, kissing up to head executives, and having impersonal relationships with my...oh, i mean "our" clients?  All for my love of Public Relations? Not happening! I just can't do it. 
        I've never seen myself as that 9-5, uptight, stuffy corporate office type of person. I am a very free individual and the "rules" in the corporate world just don't fit the bill for me.  The thought of being trapped in that type of atmosphere is beyond terrifying. 
        I love the thought of being a publicist (in which i will be this time next year!), being able to interact with my client on a personal, face-to-face basis in order to effectively meet their individual needs, and even being able to have a close bond with my co-workers so that we can effectively work as a team when necessary.   My aim is to eventually work (happily) at a boutique PR agency focused on the entertainment industry, freelance if possible, and later start my own boutique PR agency. I am beyond willing to do all of the hard work, but my work environment cannot, I repeat, CANNOT  be "corporate". If starting my own business is what it takes to do so, I am more than ready to take on that task.


My questions: What are your feelings about working in the corporate world? What is your ideal working environment? Oh, and what is your major/occupation?
