Seriously Dating someone outside of your religion/race

[Taualumna]

I know that many of us have interracially/inter-religiously dated. Some of us are married to someone who is of a different race/faith. For GCers who aren't married, will you consider marrying/seriously dating someone who isn't of your race/faith? Why or why not? What if that person is of a different race/faith, but their upbringing was similar to yours (since upbringing is usually cited as to why one shouldn't date)? Wouldn't you think that you'd have more in common with said person than someone who is of your race/faith, but brought up completely different from you?
