Am dating a latina right now and its really difficult when you bring up the differences in culture. Am African-american and she always tells me how much pressure she feels because I cant speak to her grandma or her mom without someone translating. Or that I cant just jump in a conversation when we’re out with her hispanic friends.

This article is hysterical and so true! However, I’m saddened by all the comments about how difficult it is to date a Non-Latino. I’ve been dating a “gringo” for about 2 years now and we are in a very committed relationship. Despite our cultural differences, we have worked hard to find a common ground. He is very supportive and tolerant of my ethnic background (and it doesn’t hurt that he has fallen in love with Cuban food). Although he’ll never quite understand my reasons for saying things like, “Ay pobrecita”, he has grown to understand and love me for who I am. So don’t hate on the white guys…give one a chance and they might surprise you!

I recently spoke of my ex to some friends of mine and explained to them that, because of her, I find women with no drama or passion for life boring. I liked the verbal sparring her and I shared, and, at times, it turned me on to be with a woman who spoke passionately and had a flair for the dramatic.

They all looked at me and said…”Well, it was because you were both Latino”. I laughed and told them that she was actually white.

Go figure.

My first love was white and I still talk to him and his family. We had a great relationship but we couldn’t do long distance when I went away to school. I think that it depends on the person. But having a good relationship is possible.

Honestly, I don’t know why Latinos bother with whites. Even if you find a good one, their families are usually messed up when it comes to “ethnicity.” I’m not against dating outside you’re group, but it’s better to date other ethnic minorities who can empathize.

Oh goodness YES! I dated a TOTAL “white boy” from Connecticut for 2 years. He moved to Cali for a job and that’s where we met. We spent a weekend at my parents house and my dad made Menudo. He about took off running for the hills.

Whenever we’d go to a Mexican restaurant, he’d always say “what’s an enchilada? is that thing wrapped in corn tortilla with sauce on top with lots of cheese?” Then would ask “what’s the difference in an enchilada and burrito?” The only spanish phrase he knew was “lo siento”. Worked for me. :)
