I never thought this was a very complicated issue.
As long as you aren’t disrespecting your own race, you should be able to date whoever you want to, but alas these comments from Chilli have caused some controversy.
“I want for women — especially for women of color — to not be so closed minded when it comes to love,” Chilli, who identifies as mixed, said. “God made all of us and you may not find your husband because you’re trying to stick to one group. You’ve got to be open.”
“You want the person who’s the best person for you, no matter what color he is,” she added, noting that she’s dating “one guy, but we’re testing the waters.”
“He is not black,” Chilli said — in an effort to show that she’s not afraid to practice what she preaches.
