Interracial marriages

[SuepaFly]

My sister (we're Chinese) married a black man last year. It took my parents 4 years to finally accept it. They threatened to kick her out of the family, and my sister held strong and called their bluff. So now my parents accept the marriage and him, partially because they know that they are happy and partially because they love their daughter. Heck, they even favor him now, my sister and I complain because sometimes when they know he's coming they'll go buy his favorite foods and little things like that, and we get nothing.

I'm sure my parents would want me to find a nice chinese girl... to bad i like all women!

Then what race are Indians? Would it surprise you to find out that they are caucasian?

I'm Indian and I have issues with my girlfriend being a little too Indian once in a while. To me a cultural clash is more likely than a racial clash. Honestly I wouldn't have this same problem with a white girl, but I'd probably have a different set of problems because she'd have issues with the Indian customs that I follow (like my religion).

I guess its just hard to find a balance when you grow up with immigrant parents and their values at home but you absorb a different set of values outside of the home.

Body shape is more attractive than color. Ugly is ugly no matter what color you are.

I heard a conversation at a party with adults. I'm indian... and so is everyone at the party. So yeah... one topic of the conversation was about the few indians who marry people others that aren't indian. Then this funny thing came up... they kept saying, "no BMW's" or "my daughter/son will never marry a BMW."

When I went home, I asked my dad what a BMW was.... he said...

Blacks, Whites, or Muslims.

I'm caucasian, my wife is hispanic. We've been married 9 years as of May 14, and have 2 beautiful children together.
Both of our families have always been very supportive of us.

Damn, that must suck for the Muslim Indians out there.

Not really, they're even more hardcore about marrying within their religion than Hindu Indians.

I guess muslim indians are a diffrent case... i mean... the BMW rule doesn't really apply to them. For them... i guess it's just no BW's...

LOL The kids always get'em. Me and my wife celebrated our 7th anniversary this past Sunday. Been together more than 8 years. And to be honest only twice in dealing with people has it ever clearly been apparent that it was not liked we were together. Her step dad hit the floor. LOL Literally . When we started dating the OJ thing was going on and man he harped on it big time. But soon after we were married he chilled and then came our daughter Autumn. He was pure jello then. In this day and age, to find a quality person is tough. So happiness may be black as coal or white as snow. I thank god I was able to control my racist attitude till after I got married. But seriously its been a blessing. I have no complaints and neither has most people either. Its becoming so common now though.

Whats your opinion on these? Would you ever get into one? Are you from one? I used to think it would never work for me, but now I'm realizing I'm more Americanized than I once thought.

Doesn't bother me. To each their own.

To each their own?

"Each" implies one, and "their" implies more than one.

 

[gotsmack]

I have no problems against it. In fact I may HAVE to go that way, because I'm an ABC and I don't get along well with FOBS. I NEED someone who is Americanized.

Races don't really matter to me as much as say religion/culture.

For example marrying an agnostic asian girl would be ok, but marrying a devout catholic white girl could be a problem....

I have the same problem.

I've been with my super fly girlfriend for 3 years now. She's black. We grew up in an area that was primarily asian, so she took on a prototypical asian lifestyle from the get go, ie. 4.0, no drugs, no alcohol, extra curriculars up the wazoo; though she did put the moves on me in sophomore year of high school. I had known her two years prior, and we were good friends, so naturally said why not, let's give it a try. This wasn't in anyway due to the fact that she was super hot, of course.

I'm chinese btw, and my parents *have* threatened to kick me out of the house at least ten times. I used to have weekly arguments with my mom junior/senior year of high school, to the point that it almost drove me to suicide. My GPA dropped .5, and I ended up at counseling weekly. My parents really f***ed up my life in high school. I don't hate them for it though. They just didn't realize that emigrating to the United States would involve OTHER ETHNICITIES. They figured they would live in San Francisco for the rest of their lives, but they didn't. They moved to San Jose when I was one, and things just developed.

Since my GPA plummetted to hell, I didn't get into many of my first choice colleges, so I ended up at UCSC. My girlfriend on the other hand, had her shiny 4.0, 1400 SATs, and got into all the colleges she applied to. So naturally, I expected her to go to Berkeley. We went on, barely talking the summer after HS, and I kind of just tried to forget about that portion of my life. The first day of school, she comes by my room and is like, "Hey.. you single? I live right across the hall." :Q

Yep. She's great. We are finishing up our 2nd year here now, and she's due to graduate next year. I'll be trailing a bit because CE is a biatch. But we do indeed plan to get married, regardless of what my parents think. Wahoo! Go me!

So you don't think Salma Hayek, Jennifer Lopez, or Tyra Banks is hot?

replace jlo with daisy fuentes or one of the victoria secret models and i'd agree

rotflmao! Me too! Though I barely pass as a chinese guy when a 4-year old speaks better chinese then me.

Damn, that must suck for the Muslim Indians out there.

My mom is white and my dad is indian.

My mom loves my dad, but really fvcking hate indian families, my dads's family is divided in two, the freeloading bunch of wankers and the hard working ones are multi-millionaires. My mom puts it that when you marry the person, you marry the family, which is the only regret she has about getting into an interracial marraige. Its the culture that you have to marry as well when you get involved.

Anyways, I've gone out with a muslim girl, a white girl and an asian girl and I loved'em all so I've got nothing wrong with it.
