Asian Men, Western Women couples: What do your parents think?

Do your parents/friends approve of you dating asian boys/white girls?
my mom is a little iffy when they're from overseas because of the differences in culture, but they're ok with it. most of my friends feel the same way i do

Do they even know you fancy asian men/white girls?
Everybody, and i mean EVERYBODY knows. i used to change the backgrounds of the computers i was on at school so i would have something nice to look at. then i'd have people i didn't even know come up to me like "Were you on the computer on the far right in the Library? I could tell! there was a picture of some asian band on it"

Do you keep it a secret?
nope

Do you even talk about?
all the time

Do your parents/friends approve of you dating asian boys/white girls?

i dont think i need approval from my parents or friends on how I live my life. They're not living my life, i am.
But for the record my parents are very cool about it. I dont think they're concerned about silly things like ethnicity or cultural differences.
These thigns can be learned and adapted. they're more concerned about the person's character.

Asians are not my mom's cup of tea, but she approves. my stepdad doesn't mind.

-Do they even know you fancy asian men/white girls?
Yes, it's pretty obvious, I always have asian friends visiting my house

- Do you keep it a secret?
nope

-Do you even talk about?
Yes, not really with my parents ( its not their business), but mostly with my friends

I actually came to think, just now, about last summer. I was in Honduras visiting family
and my aunts and uncle and my late grandfather (r.i.p) were sitting around a table and me and my mom were having a discussion about me being into asian boys

and they were all pretty cool about it and my grandfather says somthing that could translate to
"whatever floats your boat" in spanish XD it was so cool!! I love you abuelo!

my parents are used to the idea I guess haha and I've never hidden it. I like what I like, so there.
I talk about it more with my friends though then my family.

I love my parents, but I never really asked their opinion to date a non-Asian girl

Honestly, if your parents cannot accept someone you love/see a future with/etc, then really, they are terrible parents.

In traditional Asian families, when you marry an Asian guy, you are sort of marrying his family. There are differing degrees of this. BUT, if you come across Asian parents that are totally cool with white gf's, be happy. I would feel really awkward introducing any woman who did not have knowledge of traditional Korean culture to my father. Seriously awkward. It's not like he would hate on her just because she's white, but it's more like he would be incapable of understanding her mentality beyond a superficial level. It's a shame. (For the record, my dad's over 70 years old now. younger Asian fathers will tend to be more understanding.)

At the beginnig my mother think that i was crazy about dating an Asian Guy (even when i never date one i wish i could) but with the time she change and also help my BF is japanese my mother star to understand my wishes ....now she said "baby if you marry a Asian guy it will expensive for me visiting you " and my stepdad always support me he said he wish i find a good Asian guy marry him and be happy

respect about my other family menbers my grandpa, my aunts and my uncle thinks im totally crazy but marrry or not dating or not its totally my decision

Do your parents/friends approve of you dating asian boys/white girls?

Yea, my parents don't really mind. My dad has asked me whether I preferred white or asian girls, and we kinda talked about it. He just knows that I grew up with more white girls, and he's fine with that. Idk about my mom tho....

Do they even know you fancy asian men/white girls?

Do you keep it a secret?

No, but I didn't tell my parents until they asked me....is that keeping it secret? i mean, i didn't try to keep it from them...haha

Do you even talk about?
Not so much, but every now and then I do
