I am a Caucasian US citizen who is dating a Chinese girl who lives in the PRC. She asked if our relationship would be accepted in the US and I said that it would be acceptable to most people.

I have a few questions. What do you think people in the US or your country accept as far as interracial dating.

While I personally wouldn't date a chinese guy, I don't see anything wrong with it.


The reason I wouldn't is because they look too damned young.

I think around here (my general area) most of the people I know really don't care, but I have a few friends who are in interracial marriages and they get crap from their families.

For example my Korean friend's family is upset that she married a white guy, and my Chinese friend's family is mad because not only did she marry a black guy, but he is Christian.

I don't think that's the norm or anything though.

Well, I'm the product of an interracial marriage, so no I don't see anything wrong with it. In terms of society at large, I can't think of anyone I know or am acquainted with who has problems with interracial couples.

Most people think it's odd and it is kind of frowned on, but most people don't care. Personaly, I don't like it just cause I think races don't mix we'll, but it's not my business. The only ones that really go out of their way here in America to stop things like that are racist or people who are distrusful of other races.

It's usually a non-issue nowadays. Some would do it, some wouldn't, but almost none care if others do it. At least that's how it is in the states.

There's nothing wrong with "interracial" dating. And by the way, unless you happen to be dating a family member, all relationships are to some degree "interracial," since no matter what the racial supremacists insist, no one is "pure."

Really? Where do you live?

In Luxembourg, i'm fine with it - until he died in one of those wars, i was dating a Jordainian, and probably still would. My family also have married out to a girl who lives in the ROC/Taiwan, called Meihong. Just out of interest, as a Chinese linguist:
a) Do you speak Chinese?
b) Whats her name? - they all, as I'm sure you know, mean something - my Aunt Meihong's name means beautiful and popular.

Hmmm...if you are human, how did you get that huge pole up your ass, cause you sure are a piece of crap.

It was a question and I obviously don't have problems with her race. You can ignore that people divide themselves in such a way, but it doesn't mean that they don't.

Q1: How does that work?
Q2: Does one of you intend on moving?

I lived there for a year and next year one of us will move.

I've grown up in Southern California, which is very racially diverse, and interracial couples are so common that I don't even notice any more. This wasn't always the case, however...after my boyfriend's parents divorced, in the late 60s, his white mother married a black man, which was...fairly brave for that time period. (My boyfriend is a couple...decades older than I am.)

But my 100% Lithuanian-American boyfriend loved his black stepfather just as if he were his real dad...I've heard people say that interracial marriage can be hard on the children , but I think that's just distaste for mixing the races masked as concern for "the poor ickle children!"

However-- I have lived in a very heavily Asian (mostly Chinese) area of Orange County (Irvine!), and...some Asian parents do seem to have a problem with their children dating people of other races, particularly African-Americans. (This is just anecdotal, though, I haven't done a survey or anything.)

As long as they love each other, and not just doing it for shock value, it's cool with me.

i think it's really a non-issue except for racist, and they don't count.

I have absolutely no idea. Largely because what one thinks of inter-racial dating isn't a common topic of discussion round my way.

around here in suburban missouri(20 minutes outside of st.louis USA) i can't think of a person that would object. i my self am half black and half white. now i said nobody i know would object that dosen't mean they all would like it, but they would probaly keep it to them selves if they were aganst it.

Thats a very difficult question to answer.

The only time I ever heard it being discussed in my community was when I brought it up with another parent. She and I were discussing genetics and she told me that her and her husband were the first people ever in their families to marry someone who wasn't of the same race. She is an Ashkenazi Jew and he is an African immigrant whose family has been in the same tribe for as long as their history goes back.

Since a large number of the kids in my community are from interracial marriages (including my own) and no-one has ever mentioned it, I assume it's not a problem.

Yeah, Asians are much more strongly against their children marrying from different races. They are very racist against blacks too...at least from my experience.

Uhhhh... This is the 21st century, not 1950.

i live in small town new mexico and i cant see that any kind of interracial relationship is frowned on. there may be some families that wish their kids would stay within their group but i dont think they care what other people do.

the only thing that is frowned on is dating assholes. even then, if she is pretty or he is employed, they dont make too big a fuss.

My wife is from Taiwan, I'm from the US and we met in Italy. Overseas relationships can be tough but we managed to work it out. She came over to the US for a while and then I went overseas with her for a while, before we came back to the US where we currently reside.

Not many problems over here. As long as the people involved love and care for each other not much else matters.

I find the religious issue much more relevant than the racial one. I'd date and/or marry a woman of practically any race, if she converted to Orthodox Judaism, and will not date/marry a Jewish one if she isn't religious. My family and friends will respect my decision, and I don't care what others say/think.

I am not sure,

I live in the Netherlands. And when you hear many people talk you notice a lot of "hidden" racism amongst many people. And of course you have the loNSDAle youth who'd look strange on you if you'd date anything not like their drowsy-white speed-addicted monkey faces, but nobody cares about this scum anyway.

Maybe not only skin colour would matter. But I think many people would look strange if I'd date a Muslim.

I am positive that the vast majority cares little about who you date, unless the person is completely unattractive and a-social.

Rameria, you look pretty on the picture.

Uhhhh... This is the 21st century, not 1950.

Sense when did that matter … racism is still a big issues in may places.

We are a discriminating country yet … we do based on everything from color to sexuality.

In this day and age, interacial is hardly a problem in most society.
there were examples in earlier posts about the korean parents and chinese parents.

Most asian countries think they're the centre of the world. and i'm only generalizing here.

Most asian parents can't stand their son's or daughters marrying a caucasian. Why? I have no idea. Hopefully after a few more generations, we won't have this problem.

Well... I'm a white guy from the US and I'm dating a Korean from Seoul. My older sister is white and is dating a guy from Mexico. My little sister is Cambodian and is engaged to a Mexican. Last but not least, my little brother is Laotian with a white girlfriend. About the biggest race issue with our family is if I get a better tan than my brother. lol There is a big differance to having a race and being racist.

There is very little problem with interracial dating inside the US but some families outside the US don't agree. I get along well with my girlfriends family but I don't think her dad will ever like the fact that I'm not Korean.

Well I think on this topic I will spill my heart out a bit.

I am a caucasian white American, of primarily German/Dutch heritage (yes, blond hair, and light blue eyes). Anyway a couple of years ago I got together with a pretty african-american girl I knew. We stayed together until during university we chose to go to different ones, but we still have contact with eachother.

Anyway to the main part, you would not be surprised how much loathing and hate I received from other african-american males my age who disagreed very heavily with my dating a black girl. Apparently according to their logic, interracial dating and marriages are ok as long as the male is not white,.....

But gladly to say we were together almost one and half years, despite a rather cold reception from her family, and most other people.

The relationship was not painless though, I managed to get into an amazing amount of 6 physical scuffles over the matter of me being with her. One of the times from other caucasians my age, and the other 5 times from african americans due to public signs of affection,...i.e kissing.

Now this is not to say I disrespect black people, however they certainly wouldn't win a tolerance award from me anyday soon, at least not the ones I encountered. And the whole sidestress will make me think a bit longer next time if I ever find an african-american girl cute.

Ironically, the ones most accepting were the older African Americans in the community, her grandmother was totally cool with it and even beat down on her son on occassion (father of my girlfriend) when he chose to make one of his snide remarks when I was at dinner at their place and she was in earshot. Also I found I got less bad looks in general from 60+ african americans. This was the exact opposite with my own ethnic group, there the old ones were audible about their disapproval (My grandparents threatened too many times to mention they would cut me from their will :) ). And the worst in my opinion though were black males between the age of 16-25, they probably got a feeling of insecurity or were just racist fucks for the most part.

PS: Was in New York

So , yes I am for interracial marriage, but you should expect there will always be people who will not shirk from voicing their dissaproval with words, and sometimes light violence.

Well, you see, there are no black people in China.

Interracial love is hot ...

Date whomever you like. It's nobody's business anyhow, and the only people likely to object are people whose opinion you would not respect anyway.

I'm a white American married to a beautiful Japanese woman and honestly we've never really had a problem, even in Japan. She HAS delt with a lot of questions from other Japanese women (including one who followed her into a bath just to talk), but the questions were more due to curriosity about if it's true that American guys are much nicer than Japanese ones (You mean he makes coffee for you every morning and cooks?! Ehhhh! You're SO lucky! I want a husband like that!).

The only time I felt a little strange was meeting her extended family for the first time (I felt like a horse that was being bought), but I think that was more they were thrilled she brought home a guy and did that to anyone than because I wasn't Japanese.

On the US side, no issues, even from my grandparents.

I used to get teased by my brothers ( as I had dated every kind of girl except caucasian, and I'm a white, red haired Irishman) to the point where they were going to go out and find me one. I married a wonderful latin woman (from Cuba) and oddly...found out in her family that most of her cousins married Irish men or woman, or Irish Americans. Guess our cultures mix well...the spanish did bring racers to Galway ;)

Doesn't marrying a twi'lek count as interracial anymore?


Hooray! i knew I could make anything into a starwars coversation!:)

To be honest, I don't think here in Brisbane any of those relationships would be frowned upon. There's plenty of White-Asian couples at uni. I guess there's less black people around though.

And hispanics...meh, no one even realises there's a difference around here.

I am a Human US Citizen who is not yet dating a human girl who lives in the USA. She has not asked me any questions.

YES BECAUSE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO GENETIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANYONE IN THE WORLD. AMI RITE GUYS? AMI RITE?

I think it's your ignorance that's showing. :rolleyes:

unless you happen to be dating a family member, all relationships are to some degree "interracial," since no matter what the racial supremacists insist, no one is "pure."

Leave it to Greater Trostia/Trostia/whatever-the-hell-his-name-is-now to come up with an argument like that.

There are plenty of populations that are sufficiently isolated to be considered racially homogeneous, i.e., "pure": New Guinea natives, African pygmies, Andaman islanders, etc. There are even more who have most or almost all of their ancestry within any given group, and are within the range of variation of that group, to be considered part of that group, whether or not they are "pure." If you've got 31 out of 32 Caucasian ancestors, you're effectively Caucasian.

Few if any people trace their ancestries back 2000 years in determining their ethnic identities. It's the most recent generations, overall appearance, cultural values and practices and the like that usually have the most weight in determining whether they're white, black, yellow or whatever.

And leave it to you to chime in with an argument for the racially pure.

31 out of 32 doesn't sound pure to me. Pure would be 32 out of 32.

In other words, people are "white, black, yellow or whatever" based on vague 'cultural values' and other subjective factors. So, like, I'm pure white because I say so.

I'm vietnamese and my dad's side of the family doesn't have a problem with it, I'm guessing my grandparents care more of how they are as a person as opposed to their race. One of my uncles is white and the other is honduran and they're just awesome:) .

But my grandparents on my mother's side are really old fashioned about it. Actually my uncle told me how when he was in high school, his parents didn't let him go to prom because his date was white. He was pissed off when it happened, but now he just finds it funny as hell because my grandparent's reason was so dam stupid.

My father's Japanese, my mom is white, and where I live, no one seems to care. I've never observed any hostility or disaproval from people in Japan or in America about their marriage, although in Japan, some little (like 3 and younger) kids are slightly afraid of both me and her, which is sort of wierd.

When I was dating a Columbian girl, there were some incidents where random Spanish guys in Spanish Harlem (where she lived) would say/yell to her that she shouldn't be with me. Some of her tough guy friends would tell her jokingly that she needs to find a good hispanic guy, but they were always cool with me (cause i was smaller then them:p (not really, they were nice)).

In my neighborhood, which is mostly Puerto Rican and black, there isn't much interracial dating. It seems some minority guys don't like other guys "stealing their women", although most people just don't care. Like tends to attract like, but it is in no way the rule.

Biggest difference that I see is cultural. Some people of other "races" just live a very different lifestyle compared to me, which means I probably don't want to date them. But basicaly I just try to decide who I want to be with based on what I feel, not how anyone else feels, and I try not to judge other people's relationships if they both appear to be happy.

Here and in my age group, interracial relationships seem to be the norm.

However-- I have lived in a very heavily Asian (mostly Chinese) area of Orange County (Irvine!), and...some Asian parents do seem to have a problem with their children dating people of other races, particularly African-Americans. (This is just anecdotal, though, I haven't done a survey or anything.)
I wish I lived in Irvine... my cousint does, and it's all nice like there.

The only unacceptable relationships are those between humans and animals, between close relatives, between adults and children, or between non-consenting people. I believe "race" is an irrelevant social construct.

Dang! I thought this was going to be about interracial dating, not interethnic.

And here I was getting all excited at the prospect op somebody having found an exitant Homo sapiens idaltu to date. :(

There is quite a bit of semi-racist hicks around here who would freak if their kid was dating a Mexican (not just a Hispanic but someone from Mexico). Beyond that, the only thing I’ve noticed is that the growing Indian immigrant population doesn’t particular care for their children to date non-Indians.

I think around here (my general area) most of the people I know really don't care, but I have a few friends who are in interracial marriages and they get crap from their families.

For example my Korean friend's family is upset that she married a white guy, and my Chinese friend's family is mad because not only did she marry a black guy, but he is Christian.

I don't think that's the norm or anything though.

It is. Asians are notorious racists.

Yeah, Asians are much more strongly against their children marrying from different races.

True. That applies to both the Far East Asians and the South Asians.

They are very racist against blacks too...at least from my experience

Yeah, especially those who are recent immigrants. Their only exposure to blacks is from movies, news media etc. Also, the body language of blacks (the arm movements, the "gangsta" mannerisms etc) tend to portray a negative image to the relatively conservative outlooked Asians.

There are plenty of populations that are sufficiently isolated to be considered racially homogeneous,

Nope.

i.e., "pure": New Guinea natives, African pygmies, Andaman islanders, etc. There are even more who have most or almost all of their ancestry within any given group, and are within the range of variation of that group, to be considered part of that group, whether or not they are "pure."

Those aren't races. They are ethnicities.

You'll have to go back a lot further than that.

in determining their ethnic identities. It's the most recent generations, overall appearance, cultural values and practices and the like that usually have the most weight in determining whether they're white, black, yellow or whatever.

Now you've got it. The term you're looking for is ethnicity, not race. Race is biological, ethnicity is primarily cultural.

It is. Asians are notorious racists.
How odd... except for a few isolated instances, I've never had a problem with racism. Maybe everyone in Nagano, Japan just likes me?

The most racist people I’ve ever known have been Asian, and I live in Texas.

I've observed that Asians get a lot more upset about inter-ethnic marriage than most other groups. My daughter went to a friends wedding - the friend is Vietnamese - and notice a couple on the fringes of the family group - she found out later that it was an interracial Vietnamese-Indian (from India) couple - the woman (Vietnamese) had been disowned by most of her family because she married an Indian.

They just don't come out and call you "that evil gaijin," but they think it.
Not particularly, I get called to help carry shrines, to teach weird American slang, to fix computers, to carve watermelons, to make garlic mashed potatoes, "Mr. Jason-sensei Teacher" by my students, and "My son" by my father-in-law.

Yet to get called evil gaijin or have the majoity of people react to me that way. Not say that many Asians are not racist, but careful when making them sweeping generalizations.

Besides, they make no sense, if all Asians were racists, how the hell are there interacial/international relationships to be racist at to begin with?

Caucasian? Hispanic? Differences?

And Semitic people are not considered, again?
In our village marriage between 2 religions is an offense to both religions.

Stick to your origins and never try to mix with a foreign culture.
You can gain the world and multiply everywhere without mixing.
I've some proofs.

The Jesuites are wise people, they have nice priests who tell them who they've to marry. The computer helps to decide when some fresh blood has to be added in the circuit.
A bit like oriental families deciding how marriages are ruled.
A nice and clean way to remember who you are.

All you life you want a defined place and when attributed you're looking for another one out of your reach. Forget it!
Remember, without Jesuites you ave no future.

Am I the only one who keeps reading this "Interracial Dancing"?

Nope, of course I got it confused with the Intergenerational thread for a second and ended up with Intergenerational-racial Dancing.

How odd... except for a few isolated instances, I've never had a problem with racism. Maybe everyone in Nagano, Japan just likes me?

In my pretty substantial experience, it is most pronounced among mandarin chinese.

Here in Italy most people just don't mind about that race thing, altough some extreme right-wings ask for rediscovering national identity. Anyway, it is difficult to rediscover national identity in Italy because we're quite a huge ethnical mix. Take Sicily for example: in the last 25 centuries, you have Greeks, Romans and Etruschi, Egyptians and other ethnic groups from the ellenistic world, Arabs, Vikings, Turks, Southern Germans, Northern Italians...

The issue is more about culture than race - some groups of the most recent immigration wave have problem getting in touch with the rest of society (for example, some muslims, the poorest chinese immigrates, latin americans) both because they tend to isolate themselves and because the poorest fringes of italian society view them as potential competitors (for example, in northern Italy, the italians of southern origin are the most likely to be poor, and they're scared by the wave of new poor immigration, so some of them get quite xenophobic, but not downright racist).

Of course there is such a thing as race. You're just ignorant. I know the world would be beautiful if we could all just be human beings, but we can't. Life just doesn't work that way.

That being said, my beautiful fiance is coloured, and I'm practically albino white!

WTF. I take it by being Jesusites you follow Jesus, who (in my probably limited) knowledge preached love and tolerance? Is it now love and tolerance (unless they are a bit different from us!!)
I would happily have 'no future' if it was free of Jesuites

It's not really an issue here. The vast majority are white. Though I can't see anybody caring all that much.

I myself am of a mix-blood marriage, and most of my family friends are the same (British-Filipino). Obviously I've no problems with inter-racial relationships, and growing up in Hong Kong no one in my set worried about it, be they Caucasian, local or otherwise. Then again Hong Kong is quite a cosmopolitan and pragmatic place.

Living in England though, with the current 'situation' with Muslims, I'd think many people would pass, if not suspicious and worried, then curious glances at, say a white-Arab/obviously Muslim relationship. Then again, the place I live is mostly white, and for the most part the non-whites are Chinese or blacks.

you forgot one...

ALL ARE ACCEPTED!

and for me, it's true, I don't care, and as far as I know, my community doesn't care.

Yup, I certainly don't care either. As for the community, there are always going to be some who disapprove. All you can do is ignore such ignorant people. There are so many interracial couples now anyway that not paying attention should be easy. They certainly aren't what most people believe.

Her name is Ren Feng Zhuo-it means Outstanding Pheonix

I speak very little Chinese. Oh well, maybe she'll teach you. You could always get by with Ni hao ma? How are you?, and you could check wikibooks if you intend to learn it - I intended to learn Arabic from my boyfriend - but since he died, I haven't gone near Jordan.


Biggest difference that I see is cultural. Some people of other "races" just live a very different lifestyle compared to me, which means I probably don't want to date them.

Absolutely - I cannot imagine what would have happened if my bf had been from Oman, or Iran - I could never have adapted to that. But, thanks to Queen Rania, it would have been possible to feel at home in Jordan - in fact, I felt more at home in Jordan (please correct me, I'm not English if I have used the wrong spelling of this word - I tend to get it wrong) than I did in Luxembourg.

I'm a white girl (20 years old) dating a Chinese guy. His parents expressed to him that they would prefer he date a Chinese girl. He defended me and told his mom to fuck off. I will probably talk to him about in the future. But I want to know why a parent would want their son to date a girl of the same race. Possibly its just the language thing. His mother speaks excellent english but his father is much more comfortable to speak in chinese. Or maybe there is another explaination. Can anyone offer insight?

Well, I would say that from my experiences, the Chinese were more outwardly racist than many. On the other hand, it may have just been easier to view from my perspective of being outside the group. My girlfriends parents said that they just wanted her to be happy, but they still occasionally mention that she might be better off with a Chinese boyfriend. Her friends support us and some guys she used to know tell her she should not be with me. I have another friend whose girlfriends parents are very mad at her for dating an American...guess it depends on the family.

While in China I saw plenty of racism, including a "No Japanese Allowed" sign. They consider blacks to be violent and thuggish mainly because of movies. Koreans also tended to have families upset if dating a caucasian. Didn't have any experience with Japanese.

I didn't start this thread to see if you thought it was ok, because frankly I don't care what people think. I love her so they can shove it. I was just curious to see what it was like in different regions.

I believe that the most honest person was the one who said that their was alot of hidden racism when there are interracial couples. For instance I told a big group that I was dating this girl and a few weeks later one of them started trying to hook me up with some other girl. I told her that I was dating Ren Feng Zhuo and she just said, "oh" in a manner that screamed "you're still with her?"

I lived there for a year and next year one of us will move.

That's cool. I have had 2 friends who've dated people abroad and one couple were together for a few years (met in Brazil and both moving backwards and forwards) and another couple who're living together in the UK after several years (girl was originally from Czech Republic) and still happy. I've never tried long distance relationships myself but I say good luck to you and I hope it all works out! :)

All you life you want a defined place and when attributed you're looking for another one out of your reach. Forget it!
Remember, without Jesuites you ave no future.

The amazing thing is that it took this long for one of these messages to pop up. I thought it would happen far earlier in the thread.

Seriously, though, people get the wrong idea about people who are attracted to members of other races. Just because I happen to be attracted to non-white women doesn't mean I mentally undress all of them with every spare thought I have. Now granted, I am in a relationship with a fellow Caucasian, but even she thinks I would ditch her for someone of another race if I got the chance (no, I really wouldn't, but she says that when she feel like hitting below the belt.) Frankly, people are usually more racist than they let on, and they are never willing to admit it.

While in China I saw plenty of racism, including a "No Japanese Allowed" sign. They consider blacks to be violent and thuggish mainly because of movies. Koreans also tended to have families upset if dating a caucasian. Didn't have any experience with Japanese.

Tell me about it. It's true true and more true. :rolleyes:
