Who here has been in a serious relationship that was threatened by others' (like family) reactions to the difference in race, ethnicity, or religion between you and your lover? It's sad, but I'm having doubts that I can see a future with an Asian girl if their parents are immigrants. Keep in mind that I'm speaking from experience. So often it seems like they're forced to choose between you or their family.

Don't worry, H-Ero, I'm not looking for advice. I just want to hear about others' entanglements with this and how common it is.

I don't think My Dad would like it if I dated anyone other than white girls. He's very old fashioned, I don't think he'd say anything, but it'd be awkward.
I had a conversation with my Mum about this, she doesn't mind and she said she'd have words with him if he started being a bigoted arsehole.
I remember when my aunt dated a black guy and was introducing him to my Dad's side of the family. It was painfully awkward. I was silently begging: Don't say anything racist, don't say anything racist, don't say anything racist.

Well, it wasn't just my Dad there, all my aunts and uncles on my Dad's side were.
My Dad didn't say anything racist, but I think my eldest aunt did, but I kinda think she didn't realize it was racist... the way older people often don't. I was a long time ago though, so I don't remember what she said.
Since then that aunt has become pretty liberal. But my Dad and another of my uncles are still old-fashioned.Posted 1 year ago # -
I have two friends (guys, Mexican descent) who are dating Asian girls (Hmong to be specific) and both of the girl's families don't like them dating outside their race.

I've said before that my last girlfriend and I split up in part due to the stress she felt between feeling obligated to her parents and the love she had for me. Is this really so common among people from East Asia, where the parents forbid their daughters from dating until they select a husband of the same ethnic group, usually a family friend, who they know will restrict her freedom just as much they do? It sounds so unhealthily Confucian.

She moved the fuck out and now lives with me.
Though of course she still very much cares for her parents and will occasionally go back to check up on them. Her dad absolutely hates me and her mom... Well I'm not to sure. All I know is that we have an awesome son and we continue to love eachother. Then there is her dickhead brother who lives with us...

She moved the fuck out and now lives with me.The really sad thing is, my ex was 20, and her parents were trying their best to keep her as dependent and subservient as possible. She never had her own bank account, with her earnings from work going straight to her parents, and never even had a learner's permit to drive a car. This girl was made to sleep on her preteen brother's floor next to his bed, because of preference for sons or something. After their house was broken into, her parents got her up at 4 AM the following day to guard the house. The family was caught up in the Vietnam War and endured oppressive communist rule, so that might have something to do with it...
I really wanted to help her, but she just wouldn't trust me enough.

MMm, from a genetics POV, isn't interracial dating better as you will be less related?

Because inbreeding is only an issue in very small populations (i.e. a few hundred breeding pairs). There are hundreds of millions of breeding pairs within each racial group, so there's no danger of a lack of genetic diversity.
