Why is race-mixing a lot more common amongst the lower classes?

Question

It seems like it's always been this way. In South Africa, 100 years ago, the lowest whites were the only ones who cohabited with the blacks.

Answer 1

NO!!!

trust me, I'm a Sikh (Jatti- upper class) I i've learned this isn't true in fact i think it's more upper class that intermarry as there own familys are so strict to "keep up the family name"

Well, hope i helped :)

Answer 2

I see race mixing here and there in Hollywood--these folks are hardly in the low income bracket.  

Answer 3

I have a white husband that lived ih the tralior parks, and my family made a lot of money like 160,000 a year combined and they were Black. I failed to get the point.. better luck next time.

Answer 4

Money blinds the heart.

Answer 5

Are you asking why so many trailer park white guys marry Mexican women?

I mean I would think Tiger Woods, Robert Deniro and Ted Danson, would really disagree with your view point on life.

Answer 6

Because its not a very classy thing to do.

Answer 7

Define "lower classes"? What people fail to realize is that "race mixing" or multicultural societies have been in existence since the beginning of time. The Roman Empire was composed of Greeks, Africans for various countries, Macedonians, ect as was the Persian Empire. Mixing with other ethnic groups is not taboo, and it shouldn't be viewed as such.

EDIT: Demo, actually there were Black Africans in the Roman Empire, why are you assuming that there weren't, because they're Black. That's a foolish and ignorant assumption. This exchange has been documented, so there is no use denying it. I have a masters degree in this topic so I know very well what I am talking about. There were people known as nubians in the Roman Empire, which are Black Africans.

I live in Europe where race mixing is far more common and not just in "lower classes". On a daily basis I see well to do people out and about with their half Black children, so your assumption is unfounded.

Answer 8

african americans always have been thought to be poor by some people (i am not one of said people) and therefore they get placed in crappy schools with crappy teachers and eventually when they grow up those teachers have not taught them how to function in society so there are some african americans on the streets even though if they were taught how to act in society they could be doing brilliant things.

Answer 9

whites had s*x with anything moving in africa, the americas, the jungles, the sea... irrespective of race, socioeconomics, and class.  your details are self-serving and have nothing to do with your argument.  

Answer 10

race mixing is a lot more common among poor Blacks and poor Hispanics.many of the Hispanics that date Blacks are poor.

Answer 11

i assume you mean the economically lower classes?

well i think its something to do with the fact that we aren't stupid inbreds with centuries old prejudices who boast openly about the fact that their ancestors were slavers or butchered a hundred thousand chinese people in some unjust war a coupla hundred years ago.

time turns butchers and slavers from b*st*rds into rogues, and rogue is word with a twinkle in its eye that can be thrown about at parties with your upper class freinds, but the "lower classes" know that all you upper classes with your bentleys and millions and your stately homes and your titles and your connections are complete b******s who wont be worth spit when it comes to judgement day and trumpet sound.

the lower classes are clean of spirit and that is why we don't be slating other human beins for having a different skin colour.

Answer 12

no... it was only the unracist white who cohabited with blacks in south africa...

From personal experience I know rich white people who have married poor black people, and vice-versa

Answer 13

Most cultures seem to have rules against mixing races. In mating/marriage anyway.

Sometimes the poorest people have the most opportunities to break the rules.  In other cases, it's exactly the opposite and the poorest people are the last break rank.
