It depends on the family, some families are more traditional than others. Most of the Indian Americans I know who grew up in the West are encouraged to date other men/women of Indian ethnicity and not necessarily of a particular caste, their folks are happy as long as they are of Indian descent.

Yes usually Asians hate their roots and ethnic men. Most Asian women that I have met have told me that they feel they have gone a step up in life by having their trophy White boyfriend or husband and so they are encouraged to go after White men. Settling down with an Asian man no matter how successful or educated he is, is considered going a few rungs down the social ladder. That's one of the reasons behind why Asian women hate dating or being associated with other Asian men.

I've seen some intelligent, hot Asian women with some scummy, grungy loser White guys. White skin trumps all the negatives to them.

Yep, it's like the master-slave relationship. At the end of the day for women with that mindset, being with an Asian guy is akin to being with a slave no matter how smart, intelligent he is while being with a White guy is being associated with her master although he could be ugly, dumb etc etc.

Trust me, what I said isn't all that untrue either.

Well religious compatibility is very important for almost all families of all the ethnicities, whether it be Christians, Muslims, Hindus, etc etc.

You should go ask a White Southern christian woman if she would be happy to take you home to her momma and papa, trust me they won't be too excited about meeting someone like you . So it's not just the case with a particular ethnic group.

That's complete politically correct BS. If I'm not interested in someone because of their race or culture, it's because I'm not compatible with them. And you have to be compatible with someone to have a successful partnership.

So true. I rarely see a chinese woman with an asian guy. In fact just about every chinese woman I know pretty much only dates white guys. I have one friend, she is crazy. She is dating a latino. But I know she gets flack for looking "different." (She is 100% chinese with brown hair and green eyes.)

Agreed. I am almost amazed when I see a cute asian woman with an attractive white guy. Seems so rare. (One of my white male friends is pretty much one of the few. We used to pick on him about his "exotic" fetish. Until we met his dad, and it all made sense.)

There's plenty of good looking white guys with Asian women in Los Angeles...
