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?

Also, it's likely more prevalent with first generations than 2nd, 3rd or later generations. My parents were 2nd generation and I think they were just happy that one of their children was finally getting married. We also have no reservations on who our kids date or marry.
We never saw any overt racism, only the occasional stare when we were out and this was in a redneck area in the late 70's and early 80's. Oh, I did shock her grandmother though, but she did finally come around.
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.
Only one...my first "real" boyfriend was Chinese, and very hot. No struggles...I lived near DC, and his father was a fairly wealthy diplomat. Pretty common.

Only thing is i noticed ...when I go to pick him up anywhere...the teachers are like thats your mom?? Im soo white and he's a light skin asian kid. That I love sooooooooooo much! Also there is always the question "mommy why don't I look like you" and so forth.
You can say the same about any other preference people have. Should matter or not, it does.
I guess so. Still, never mattered to me.
