There will be a day when the word 'interracial' is retired.

I hope I'm still here then, but I'm not holding my breath.

They are North Americans, so yes "interracial" means Black/White.

North America is a little more complicated than that. There is the Native American element, and there are relationships among them and European and African people, and there are people even whole communities, descended from all three. Then there are interracial people descended from those unions. Anyone involved with us interracial people (myself being Euro & Native) is in an interracial relationship.

Beyond that, for over a generation, people have been able to come to North American countries from almost everywhere in the world, and so it is possible to have almost any imaginable mix here now.

As for people from India, they're not all the same, and some of them, though granted not many, are indistinguishable from Europeans... northern Europeans, even. To illustrate in reverse, I have two white friends (one Irish-American) who converted to Indian religions, both of whom I have personally witnessed struggling to convince people from India that they were not from India, too. They get scolded! "You should be PROUD to be from India! Why do you pretend?" When in reality, they might well prefer to be Indian, and often dress in Indian clothing... Another example, I have a book on the Panjabi language of northwestern India, on the cover of which are shown two young Panjabi boys, one of whom bears a striking resemblance to one of my childhood best friends, an Italian-American.

In any case, the majority of Indians and Europeans are essentially part of the same Eurasian racial spectrum, and there's actually a significant amount of overlap in appearance. So, it's subjective and political and otherwise open to dispute whether a Euro/Indian relationship is truly inter-racial, or just from different ends of one shared spectrum.

I think in the US, people see "interracial" as black and white because up until the mid 1960s it was illegal for blacks and whites to marry. Oh sure, the laws said interracial marriages were illegal but many folks who shared the same skin tone, regardless of race or ethnicity, were able to marry just fine. It really seemed to apply to only blacks and whites, and even after it became legal for blacks and whites to marry, it was still very much frowned upon for a long time to come.

So legally and culturally, "interracial" tended to imply blacks and whites.

Several years ago I dated a man from Egypt. Neither of us considered it an interracial relationship. Nobody paid it any mind. But after that I dated a black man and strangely enough, even in this day and age, much was said about it - mostly questions like, "How does your family feel about it?" (they didn't care about the race difference, for what it's worth, but his friends and family did)

I think because of the issues this country has had with such severe racial discrimination against blacks, and it's really only been fairly recent history that ridiculous laws discriminating against blacks have been overturned, that's what us folks from the US automatically think, when hearing the term "interracial."

In fact, the man I am with now is part Native American. His profile on CM said "mixed race" and I incorrectly assumed that meant black. He said he listed himself as that since his skin is darker and he does not appear to be caucasian by any means.

I don't really care about someone's race or ethnicity, other than a fascination to learn about various cultures. I am partial to darker skin because I find it very attractive, just as some like blondes or redheads, etc. As has been suggested, I'd remove "interracial" from your search and see what that brings you.

"I am partial to darker skin because I find it very attractive"

I agree with this statement. I find myself feeling the same way. I feel that there is beauty in all races; to me it is her submission that I am more interested in. I find women of different races very sexy and exotic. My last submissive was mixed but most would consider her as a black woman. Her submission was pure and genuine, her passion and sensuality for me was nothing less than perfect. The contrast of our skin seemed to heighten the excitement. Too bad we live so far away.

I often see "skin contrast" mentioned but it's not that, for me. It's not light against dark that I find so appealing, it's simply the various shades on others themselves that appeals to me - preferably olive or brown tones. I'm not sure why, I just find it beautiful. On its own. Regardless of my own skin color.

I was talking to a Vietnamese woman I know who said in her country, skin bleaching is becoming popular. I was surprised, and told her I *love* her skin tone - I think it's just lovely.

Black people have there own culture too.

Hi Zaithian, welcome to the message board.

I most often think black and white when I see the term interracial, and would see
a relationship between a man from india and a woman from the USA as cross cultural,
regardless of the skin color of the women.

I wouldn't use the keyword interracial in your search for a compatible submissive partner,
as Alecta stated, the majority of those profiles are using that term in the fetish sense.
This does not mean that there aren't many women out there that could find interest in you,
but that their interest would be all encompassing, and not just focused on your race.

My first Master, with whom I had a 10 year relationship, was a black man (I'm white). A lot of the attraction I had to him from the very beginning was the historic taboo of a white woman and black man in our country. That being said, the contrast of skin tones is something we both found to be highly erotic. So if I was attracted to any man because of his demeanor, the darker skin would be a bonus turn on. A good friend of mine recently married an Indian man, and I think he's very sexy. My most recent Master is white also and there are many reasons I find him attractive, but I miss the contrast of skin tones. He makes up for it in other ways.
