| Interracial relationships |

This past week, both of my parents (on separate occasions) once again expressed that a Chinese guy would best for me. :lol: My dad asked me if I still heard from Demetrios, my last real boyfriend [We broke up 2 years ago and he's Greek]. I said no, and that he was a jerk. *L* [What makes him a jerk? That it took a whole year of hounding him to get my stuff back...despite my polite emails and phone calls and offers to pick it up, etc. One day, I had a UPS package delivered to me, but it cost me $50 in brokerage fees. That would have been enough gas money for me to go pick it up myself. And that he refused to return my calls and gave me the brush off in email. Our break up had been amicable, too.] So that was enough fodder for my dad to paint all Caucasians in a bad light :lol: "See? That's how they are!" And once again, he reiterated his thoughts that cultural differences will make a relationship close to impossible. My mom feels similarly. She's worred about getting along with the in-laws for one thing :lol: She's seen family friends and my cousins get married to other Chinese people (who aren't living in Asian counties) and wants the same for me. I've dated a couple of Chinese guys, and they just end up having higher expectations of them :lol: She's like "why don't I get your aunts and uncles to introduce you to some nice Chinese boys?" BWAHAHAHA No, thanks, mom. :lol: |

how colourless life would be if we just dated our own race. I say jump in the melting pot.

What race are you? Chinese I gathered? I think interracial couples have some of the cutest kids out there. I say mix the pot and stir it.

Tell your parents you're desperately in love with a chinese boy you met online. He lives in China on a goat farm.
Maybe then, they'll consider anyone you date better than a goat farmer. ;)

Yes, I am Chinese. :) Mixed kids are cute, but to my understanding also are more prone to allergies!

*L*!!! No, they wouldn't me have any urban men...Although a goat farmer could be good with his hands...hmm...My mom doesn't like the idea of meeting men from the Internet either!!

"My mom doesn't like the idea of meeting men from the Internet either!!"
My point exactly - so any other guy you meet in comparison to the 'virtual' bf would be a welcomed change of pace. ;)
