<p>Do interracial relationships work? I am asian and I am in love in with a white girl. Is there still a social taboo? Is it difficult working it out because of cultural diffrences? I need some opinions and advice on this matter.</p>
<p>they definitely take more work than others. best of luck to you! :)</p>
<p>It's hard, at first. But my girlfriend is Puerto Rican (I'm Korean), so we manage to settle out our racial differences. (Actually, I think she wants to turn Asian, lol)</p>
<p>I never had any problems. Unless you are a diehard asian and only make friends with asians (no flames......its very prevalent at my school) why in the world would you have a problem. I am Indian I have never gone out with ANY indians. Maybe I am weird but all of them seemed to work out fine.</p>
<p>I'm Asian, and well, there's only about 4 other Asians at my school of 600 so I've never gone out with any Asians before and i don't think there really is a social taboo. I mean, I've gotten some weird looks at restaurants or whatever, but no big objections...</p>
<p>BTW to add I think it has a lot to where you live. I live in NYC possibly the most diverse place on the planet and its common for interracial relationship. However if you live in Cat's-ass Wyoming (no offense to Wyoming people) you may get a lot of weird looks.</p>
<p>haha mahras2...the funny thing is that I do live in Wyoming. Wyoming, OH, that is....which is in Cinci...</p>
<p>I have pressure to go out with a black guy (I'm black) but there's about 5 in my grade, none in my classes. I've pretty much grown up with people who are white, so I'm comfortable around both races pretty equally. I'm attracted to both races, and people don't understand that a lot of times. I mean, my friends do, but adults wonder how can I be attracted to someone white. So for me, it's pressure to be a certain way, because that's the way it's always been done. I've grown up around those who are white, so it's makes sense I talk, and act like them. Of course I'm no drone, but I worry more about what my parents will think than my peers, who are all really cool about it.</p>
<p>I'm black and chinese and I'm attracted to mostly white guys, but they don't like me.</p>
<p>I'm in your EXACT position, boomer--I'm a chinese guy going out with a wasp girl. </p>
<p>I live in NYC. And, as someone said, this is a very liberal city where people are pretty openminded and have been exposed to just about everything. </p>
<p>From my experience...
Race has not been a factor.</p>
<p>No problems, ever.</p>
<p>My case might be easier because both of us much grew up in very similar environments.</p>
<p>As for any "social taboo", I've never noticed any, at all. Zero. The whole "novelty" of an "interracial relationship" is nonexistent here (probably unlike some other regions of the country). It's like seeing a rat on the subway. People wouldn't look twice.</p>
<p>Bad analogy, but you get the idea. It's so common that nobody gives a damn either way.</p>
<p>i don't think it's impossible. like chidimma said it takes more work to work out... I for one is asian and i get attracted to white guys. welll... i guess i don't really care about race...
o yeah. and i live in NYC so i see A LOT of interracial couples in the streets especially a lot of asian females going out with white males...</p>
<p>there are a LOT more asian girls going out with white guys than asian guys going out with white girls. </p>
<p>i'm sure u can find several different reasons for that.</p>
<p>my sis, a 100% korean girl has been going out with a white guy for about a year. It's going strong, and they're happy. I don't see any problem with it</p>
<p>does anybody see half asians with white guys
just wondering...</p>
<p>yeah, we're very rare :/</p>
<p>actually at my school, there are a lot of half asians and they mostly go out with white guys.</p>
<p>half asians... is that supposed to mean half asian, half white?</p>
<p>That means only one of your parents is asian. In my case my mother is chinese and my dad is black. My cousin is white and chinese.</p>
<p>i'm chinese and i've only dated one (two, if you count indian) asian out of six guys: one italian, one half jewish/half italian, one indian, one korean, one half iranian/half white, one jewish</p>
<p>Yah I'm Indian and I went out with a Chinese girl and it was never a problem. I hate it when people can't even think outside their own cultural groups.</p>
<p>"there are a LOT more asian girls going out with white guys than asian guys going out with white girls.</p>
<p>i'm sure u can find several different reasons for that."</p>
<p>Huh?</p>
