I have been in a couple actually. I dated a Chinese girl in high school. Her parents strongly disapproved of me, Asians can be very racially minded. her folks were very traditional. She was one of the sweetest girls I have ever known. I also dated a black gal from Montego Bay Jamacia. Sweet is not how I would describe her but she was a blast to be with. Never really encountered any problems other than with the first gals parents.
Yeah I noticed that too....that asians keep to their own or traditional families do..my ex family didn't mind whites but god forbid him to date a white-girl! What's with that?

What kind of Asians were they? What was their nationality? Some Asians are more conservative than others. Was your ex their only son? Asian parents are especially possessive of their sons. They expect them to carry on the family name and to produce little full blooded Asian grandchildren for them. At the time you dated him, did you already have your son?
For those that have or currently are, please also comment on the struggles and rewards. For example, some people bring up other people staring. Some say its curiosity, some say jealousy, hatred,etc. Whats your opinion on that? I am of mixed background(black/white) and am currently dating a white female. I have never really encountered any racism when we go out. Live in Minnesota for what its worth.
I've dated 2nd and 3rd generation Polish, German, Mexican and a few black men as well.
The only racism I've ever encountered has come from black men making disparaging comments while I was out with my white boyfriend(s). I used to get angry, but later I realized they were just jealous and I brushed off their comments like I would a piece of lint.

Yes, I have, but I look White so it isn't always apparent. When I dated a Native American man it was thought I was interracial dating but I'm NA, myself. All my brothers and sisters are dark with dark eyes. I'm light skinned with light eyes--took after my White father. Yep, half breed.

"half breed". LMAO, I havn't heard that term since I was pretty young and I think that was in an old Western movie. There are so many white/NA couples around here we don't think about it much.

Traditionally, Oriental daughters-in-law marry into the son's family. In practice, this means they take care of the parents as they get older. My guess is that they think the odds of a white daughter-in-law fussing over them in their dotage are slim to none. (In reality, the odds of an American-born daughter-in-law of any race or ethnicity taking care of them in their dotage are slim to none, but with an Oriental daughter-in-law, they can at least hope).

You're so right on this. Times have changed and any America-born d-i-l in America will most likely will send their parents to a nursing home. Asian parents hope they don't end up there unless it was their last few weeks or days. I have several married friends who let their elderly parents live with them also...either that or close by.
