EPTThis is possibly the first time I heard someone tell me straight in my face that the only reason they would not date me is because I have a different pigmentation color..

My parents probably wouldn't let me inside the house if I ever brought a white girl to introduce to them. I've brought a Chinese girl, and they barely let that slide. Beyond that, I think other people are right...think about how you asked her out as well, there could've been something in that. It's definitely a possibility, even if it's not likely. | ||

We were talking about Chem class and we joked around and I wrapped my arm around her and she let me do that for a good 10 seconds, we're walking off to the subway and having fun so I thought it would be a good idea to ask her out then and there. I got her phone number the day before, I don't think its a dodge. It's def racial after she said "I dont date other races" she defended herself saying "it's not racist, it's just the way I am" But have you guys ever had an experience like that? I mean how hard is it to say "I can't I'm too busy", hey i'll get the signal. | ||

Communication would be incredibly difficult and not to mention, stifling; miscommunication and lack of dialogue between the in-laws would make for awkward family relationships, and ultimately, Asian parents (and probably most other immigrant parents) don't see the worth in having an interracial family if it's going to cause so much unacquainted confusion. | ||

Sure, it looks racist to our modern day (western) standards, but there's very legitimate concerns with multi-racial marriages. It's not bad with third generation immigrants (i.e. all of the family speaks English), but when you have first or second generation immigrants, there may be foreseeable communication problems. The way Asian cultures and western cultures handle marriages are completely different, and Asian parents have a legitimate fear here. Sometimes the marriage can play out fine, but other times, the miscommunication can really cause problems and arguments in the future. Also, imagine what it feels like for them to not be able to speak to their grandchildren... I agree too. Culturally speaking, there are so many differences, it takes a lot of love, patience and even some luck to make interracial marriages work. I know of some Chinese guys who married a white girl, and when his parents got old and sick, he had them moved to his house so he could take care of them. I know that this is acceptable and even expected in East Asian cultures, but the girl just adamantly refused, telling him to be "a man". They had a divorce over this. Marriages are hard enough, bringing in something that makes it even harder is not what I would want to do. But if I, or someone else found someone they really love, then I suppose it's ok, because love conquers all right? kekeke. As for childern, my school has a couple of Eurasian kids the girls are prettier than normal. :D) but they don't really fit in well in either groups of people. The asians think that they're too white, and the whites think they're too asian. I always try to go out of my way to help them, but I feel real sorry for them sometimes. They just don't have a group that they can identify themselves with. It might be ok in the future, but for right now, multiethnic kids still have it a lot tougher than single ethnic kids. Just my 2 cents. :D | ||

My dad speaks perfect Japanese and my grandparents gave my mom a bottle of mace when they first started dating. I think you just have to admit that most of the east asian countries are extremely homogeneous and as a result if you grow up in that environment, you became a bit racist. A kid growing up in America should be able to move past that and if they hold entirely steadfast under the concepts of their parents, I probably wouldn't want to date them anyways. | ||

Communication is definitely the first thing in my family. Last time I visited my family in China, they made a strong case about marrying an Asian girl. It wasn't a problem with being homogeneous. Simply put, the traditions of marriage and the responsibilities of the family unit are so different that it adds that extra barrier between a successful marriage. The differences between the viewpoints of westerners and Asians regarding issues such as divorce, taking care of parents (SiegeTanksandBlueGoo's example), etc create problems in the marriage. This isn't to say that multi-racial marriages are impossible and will always turn out bad- it's just to say that it's going to take that extra level of understanding to make it work. | ||

My friends parents are Chinese, and they are racist against African Americans, Hispanics, etc.. Basically anyone that isn't Chinese is not marriage material for my friend. However, my friend isn't close minded, and told his parents to screw themselves about that. He's dating a Japanese girl, and they are doing really good as far as I hear. Let it go. For every close minded individual there 10 more to make you smile. | ||

Homo does not mean gay, it means "same" and genos means "kind". Or with other words, homogeneity means "being similar throughout", which makes it into a perfect word to use when talking about peoples resistance when it comes to mixing with other persons who has different attributes. | ||

If you really like her and you guys have a lot of fun together, you shouldn't give up. You didn't have to ask her straight up for a date, could had been to hang out and it can advance from there. If a girl who you aren't interested in at all, ask you out on a date, wouldn't that seem akward too? bingo. From talking to my east Asian friend I would say that there is a big chance that she actually ment exactly what she said. | ||
