Interacial dating. From the surface it seems complicated and usually gets a lot of stares - but when I look long and hard at interracial couples I feel this odd sense of hope, somehow we all get along - no matter our skin colour, race, background or religion. And some of us stick together and end up playing the most significant person in our lives. That may seem easy to digest, but we all know seeing is different to experiencing. I'm not saying where my sources come from but - a close friend of mine has found herself in this thing with one of the whitest men you could imagine. And by thing I don't mean a fling or something sexual or casual - it might be the start of a relationship but she's not quite sure about some things. As a brown gal herself - she's a bit confused with her feelings (from what I've gathered) clashing cultures can be mixed up into something awesome or it can create way too many boundaries to ever really connect as a dynamic duo. But casually speaking as a non-related third party, I haven't many white friends, reasons are unbeknown to me of all people - I obviously think of everyone as an equal, but I just find I seem to click easier with fellow Lankans. Maybe I'm short-sighted, I'm not really sure - personally I've almost always seen myself with a person of the same race, it just seems to work well - everything considered. But who knows? I'm a 20 year old, university student trying to figure it out.
