Hmmm, interesting question. Personally, I've dated men of different ethnicities including my own simply because at the time that person had qualities that were appealing to me. We all as human beings have different tastes which doesn't make them right or wrong. My take is as long as the involved couple is doing it for the *right reasons* and they are happy and content with their choice, then it shouldn't matter.Where I live (San Francisco), interracial dating and marriage is quite common and I'm very used to seeing it. I think the bottom line with this issue is that it is a VERY PERSONAL choice and should be so. Not me or anyone else on this planet has the right to tell Kobe who to love and care about. Leave that to his heart.
