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?
