<p>my previous question remains unanswered, so i'll try to ask again: What about South Asians (i.e. Indians & Pakistanis) and Arabs? Where do they stand in the interracial relationship mix? I'm just curious, being one myself. Technically we're Asians, but I think most people use the term for oriental Asians (i.e Chinese).</p>
<p>If you're one then you should be able to tell us :p</p>
<p>As far as "where they fit in," they're seen as separate from Asians entirely. But from what I've seen, their dating habits aren't that different from Asians.</p>
<p>I'd say the south asians would be pretty similar to the rest. The physical differences are present, but a lot of the cultural issues and values are still there.</p>
<p>Arabs are a real mixed bag from my experience. There are many that I know who basically act as if they were a slightly darker skinned white guy, but on the other hand you have the very conservative ones who are focused on religion a great deal. Basically the same can be said for women, there are those (normally 2nd or 3rd gen americans) who basically act like your typical american girl, but then you have those who still wear the hair covering things (I know they aren't turbans, but I think there's some special word) that basically say "I'm pretty religious" and turn away many men (again from my experience, not that religion is bad, but with all the islamic stuff going on these days, most guys won't want part of it).</p>
<p>i'm not sure if it's because i live in the city, but almost half of the white male teachers at my high school have black wives. also, an asian teacher at my high school has a black wife. so anything is possible. lol. you just might have to live in a more urban, open environment to get/find what you want.</p>
