I created this same thread in the Serbian forum a while ago, but I'm more interested now in the Albanian POV. Would you marry a non-Albanian or would you mind if your child married outside of Albanian?

...if the girl was Miss Albania... do you believe anyone would care if she is Albanian or not? If the girl is Tayra Banks... do you believe I would care if she is black or not?!! Are you nuts?!! Only retards have these kind of problems when a woman is like this.. PS .. ok.. that was the Greek POV

I like hybrids such as myself I dont consider myself a mutt...i do not favor complete dissimilation like the current american will be in 50 to a 100 years. That being said...as long as my kid is happy as can be and if their partner treats them well. They can marry a black person for all i care.

Well, my Albanian heritage is important to me, and if I marry somebody of a different ethnicity, passing on my heritage to my children will be more difficult in a foreign country. That is why I'd prefer to marry an Albanian. If I was living in my homeland, it wouldn't matter as much if I married someone of a different ethnicity, since there, everything surrounding you is Albanian, and the identity and legacy is transmitted to the children automatically through the environment and education. It would perhaps even be seen as optimal for the sake of genetic diversity in your children.
Concerning other people, I am not all too prejudiced against those who are of mixed marriges; i have relatives who are half-Swedish, half-Polish, half-Chilean, part Bosniak and so on ... I've even heard of cases of people with one Serbian parent who were the biggest patriots ever.

That is what you think but if you are white and agreed your kids to married with blacks believe me that black people not like to have kid mulattos and so they soon gonna throw this mixed hybrids or yellow bastards mulattoes to dumpster. Interracial marriages are very danger which should be stooped and prevent from happened.

Good post Donnie (like always.)
For some reason I don't accept the idea of Albanians with other groups, and if an oustide marriage were to happen, I would prefer it to be European. My gf's cousin is going out with an Pacific Islander and I find it wrong. I understand we're all humans, but I just can't accept it (not like it matters to them atleast) and if my sister did the same I'd be upset..

What an idiotic statement. This obviously comes from someone who knows black people only from rap videos. Here in the US we are no different from the rest of people. I know of Albanians who are married with Hispanics, Blacks, North Africans, and Asians among others. Guess what? Nobody threw their kids in the dumpster. Grow up man. Meet people. Open your mind. We are not special from the rest. Like every other nationality who has come to this melting pot we call the USA we are mixing and intermingling with other ethnicities and other races. Its just the way it is. Same is true for the other races and ethnicities. Stupid comments like the one I quoted are just that; stupid. That is not what happens in the real world.

^x2. It is only in these forums some Albanians say these stuff. In the real world they are too pussy to speak out their mind.

Maybe the Albanians living in NY are different, but the majority of the ones I know are prejudice against Hispanics and Blacks, honestly I thought this was a common theme with many Albanians. I'm not condoning this behavior, but it's just what I've noticed.

During the school year I hit it off for a very short bit with a black chick. She was very dark but cute looking so I didnt mind. The entire time it was pretty... not embarrassing... so much as terrifying of how my parents would see this is I ever told them. Its not like she was "ghetto" or anything, she was actually quite intelligent... but still. I was even afraid of my friends finding out and what they would say. In the end it came to nothing, everything ended in about two short weeks. If your in the US you gotta expect these things though, we cant keep ourselves in bubbles... Plus, ethnic women can be very hot. I actually tend to have a preference for some hispanic women. I know a lot of Albanian guys who are currently dating hispanic girls. Plus, I also find Asian chicks to be very attractive, especially southeast Asians or Japanese. However, when it comes to marriage... I think I will want to take a trip back to Albania and find someone or some other Balkan person or hell even Med for that matter (like Italian). However, I would prefer some Alb atheist chick from Tirana with no religious family traditions to bother my sundays or fridays and not force a poor baby into a baptism or circumcision... She should preferably have at least a bachelors degree in something (but I would be happier with an MA as well). I know a couple who are like that.... sadly, they are like 5-6 years older than me and close friends of my cousins...

Logjik what Mysia said was the opposite. He said Black people throw mixed children in the dumpster. Ignorant comment.

Well I agree. If anything, Blacks actually look up to mixed children with White features and white people tend to look down upon these kids. But that's another story............

Yea, its pretty sad. Read the book Coming of Age in Mississippi. It talks about how in the black community itself there is a great division. The darker blacks call the more privilaged -- lighter-skinned -- blacks 'yellows'. These groups had a tendency to be accepted more into the private black colleges. They tended to look down on the far darker blacks.
In northern Africa there is a great amount of racism towards Subsaharan black-Africans.

The same goes for the Somalians I've known. Many of them dont consider themselves 'Black' but rather Araboid; many of them claim themselves to be "originally Arabic" and that they don't feel any solidarity with blacks from Uganda for example. People with lighter skin are usually also preferred in Eritrea ... the same is seen with the caste system in India, or the war in Sudan, where the Arabic-speaking locals and non-Arabs are, to the foreigner, indistinguishable, yet the Arab-speaking ones continuously make racist references to the dark colour of the non-Arabic Blacks of Sudan ...
