What do you think about Asian/White marriages and children half White/Asian?

anything worth doing is worth fighting for... who cares if there is a mix... are you happy? Are your children happy? My family hates the man I married, and his family hates me... everyone seems to think that they know what is best... we love eachother, our son is fantastic, well rounded. We are a happy family and have been for the past 6 years... goes to show that sometimes the world is wrong... go figure

I'm Japanese and my husband is Hispanic.  I don't think people really have complete control over who they fall in love with.  Otherwise, so many woman wouldn't stay in abusive relationships (but that's a whole 'nother ball of earwax).  I think successful marriages are about compromise and chemistry, and you just never know who you might find those things with.  Besides, dating would be so boring if we were limited to racial common denominators!\n\nBy the way, my mom and sister are married to Anglo men, and my brother is dating a Hispanic.  My in-laws, on the other hand, would have preferred my husband to marry another Hispanic.

I have never supported the idea of arranged marriages for the simple reason whose life is it to live? Part of being human is to make our own decisions and take the good or bad results of these. Your parents are living their lives, maybe they should let you live yours and forget about the cultural stuff. If you live in this society, you have an obligation to live as we do.

Where are you getting you information to be sure that this is true? Unless you interviewed and surveyed each and every Black man, White man,  and women of all races on that subject and got those answers that you are posting,  you are just generalizing what you see around you not actual fact. I live in New York and see quite the opposite of what you have seen. I have seen people all of different races going out with and married to Black men. I have a friend who name is Arthur that is married to a Japanese woman and a friend who passed recently, that was married to a Chinese woman and they have a son together. As far as Black men and Hispanic/ Latin women, I have seen plenty of my Black male friends married or  engaged to Latinas that  they have children with. I am wondering what area do you live at because where I live, it is really diverse and that is my truth.

well, I am mixed with both and some... So I think it is normal. My uncle is white and he doesn't like white women. He liked that we had a strong family and a long history full of culture and tradition. He says he knows of no whites who can say that. Also, being from the islands. we take things in stride and don't hold back. I would guess that you feel more connected with asians because we are more connected to others. But that is just our culture. Think about it when you go to our house our grandmas, and or mothers make us feed our guests... And they actually listen to you when you come to our homes. We give alot of trust... But you diss us, and you know our family, priends, and even people that dislike us, will be coming to get you. You say you are around asians alot, so you know what I mean. Stay cool. It's normal...

I am a white American Female and my husband, a Filipino, is the best thing that has ever happened to me.  I could not imagine life without him.  Interracial marriage is perfectly acceptable as long as the people love each other and are ready to forge a new life together whatever the obstacles.  Our biggest obstacle was some cultural stuff because we grew up so very differently, but with time love and tenderness we worked through it and are falling more in love everyday!

I'm a Malay and currently having a  chinese girlfriend as well. Interacial relationships are very common now.The thing is, there are gonna be more obstacles than any relationships you can have with someone of your own race. Go for it man!!

I am half Nigerian.  I think that they are very friendly people.  Also, my Dad who is Nigerian has a problem with women.  He's been married 4 times.  Now he is married to a Nigerian and I think they will stay together.  Maybe it was best for him to marry in his culture.

I watched a couple episodes. The black family were much better at being white than the white family at being black. The white family were an embarrassment (at least the father was, what a screaming dork!). As far as 'fun' being another race? It could be interesting to see how the same strangers reacted to you in similar situations as different ethnicities.

I hurt with you. A lot of things should not be an issue, but they are in family situations. All four of our children are from different races than my wife and I. It took one side some time to get used to the idea and relearn what racism smells like.\nOur two oldest sons are Asian married/relating to white women. A little brag - the women's parents think our sons are such great material, they are thrilled. Thus:\nLesson 1: Only bring quality material home to mother. The girl will know how to handle her by praising and showing interest in your heritage.\nLesson 2: Show your own interest in your heritage so your mother will know her "life" will not be forgotten.\nLesson 3: This is neither new nor unique to you. Latino's and blacks, previously Roman Catholics and anyone else, my good Irish stock w/ English, in dating it was my lower middle class vs. upper class. Hang in there. You are helping make a new world.\nAt last.

yeah! i mean, why not? it's just the color of skin. everybody has different family life, different, backgrounds etc., so whats the difference if they are white/black/asian/isrish/etc? i think it's awesome when 2 people of different colors get married cause it's breaking the barrier that makes it so people have to ask if its ok or not. so yeah, i mean why not?

Asian families are typically very traditional (i.e. no sex before marriage, must marry within culture, etc). My best friend is Chinese and the only boyfriend of hers that her parents even knew about was Chinese. Don't take it personally-- it's not you, it's her parents' culture.

Are you Asian? Or, have you been asked to consider life from another perspective?\nMy perspective: Asians already have awareness that their lifestyle and values are similar to other Asians, but different from non-Asians. I think an Asian Studies class would make them feel proud and connected to their family. Learning about themselves would help them become more tolerant of other cultures and understand that difference is just difference. (There's an idea: White people should take a White Studies class. It would be way more effective than diversity training.)\nBeing American makes them bi-cultural. Assimilation can occur. The class could help resolve any conflicts with their parents about modern vs. traditional ways; by making sense of practices they took for granted.

I think America still lives in the 50s sometimes. I really do. A lot of people still think white should stay with whites and blacks should stay with blacks. You would be surprised at how many people since 9/11 think blacks are scum all over again. Its just what a taste requires. Gotta remember who your audience is for. Example, the show Boy Meets World.. Shawn dated Angelea and the reason it was okay to bring that into the show is because they were trying to show teens its okay to date other people with different skin colors. But adults might take it differently.

I can understand your concerns because sometimes interracial marriages can cause many problems such as traditions and so on and so forth, BUT there is nothing wrong with knowing and respecting other customs. \n\nThis is my opinion. If he or she loves that man/woman and wants to date or marry them and they are happy and the person is a wonderful person, then okay. Who cares about what they are, it is who they are and how well they treat your son/daughter. :)

Well to be fair, I'm Asian and I tried fitting in the predominately "white" community of my hometown....but I just wasn't taken seriously as a friend. It's hard to fit in w/ people outside your race b/c there are all these barriers and such.  I mean it's easy for you to say we seclude ourselves, but we don't have a role amongst a group of "whites" except as a token, a mascot if you will. But I think after a few more generations, Asians will be considered Americans instead foreigners.
