Thread: Asian parents help...

Anyway, my parents (mostly my mom, dad's actually kind of open about it) are kind of the same way as your girlfriends parents, they want me to marry a nice Indian girl and have a shit ton of kids. Problem is, I have this thing for White and Asian girls, I'm just not attracted to Indians.

We need to meet up and wing man for each other. I think it would be mutually beneficial

I don´t think it´s racism...it´s a cultural thing. What my parents always told me to marry someone from Nicaragua (they are nicaraguan). Whenever we brought a Honduran girlfriend (I live in Honduras) they would be polite but not happy about it. These are neighboring countries yet there are so many cultural differences between these two societies. I´m dating a Guatemalan girl now and they´re happy about it because they´re more similar to us, Nicaraguans. I can´t imagine if I brought a chinese girl or a black girl (there are almost not black people in Nicaragua) or an arab muslim girl to their house...they would definitely not approve. Americans, they don´t have much of a problem with. The problem they see with dating a girl that is not from your country is they have different values, a different culture altogether. And when you get married to someone the real problems begin to flourish at home, the women get homesick (if their family isn´t in the country she´s living in), some cultural habits tend to clash with others and that can be a real tangible problem in a marriage or relationship. So it´s not about racism, it´s about culture. And another thing is social class. You see the difference in social class more accentuated here than in the States.

Its still a racial thing.

There are many things that can be discussed and worked out with time. People are too quick to give up and not try to work things out.

Thats why divorce rates are so high. Its easier to walk away and find an upgraded model.

I don´t think they want a chinese guy because he has straight hair and epicanthic folds (asian eyes). It´s got to do with cultural traits, not physical ones. It´s not about race...at least not in my head...for example...I´m latin american...yet I wouldn´t want to marry a Honduran woman...or a Mexican woman. They´re latin american as well, I just don´t like their cultural habits.

I´ll let you in on a little foreign secret: Foreigners generally see americans as ignorant, lacking moral and social values, dull, too liberal and ignorant. Yes, ignorant again.

This is the general idea foreigners, especially the older generations, have about americans. Who would want their daughter with someone like that? No one unless they disliked her.
