I'm an Asian and I've been with a Moroccan guy before. He really was different than all the other Moroccan people. But we broke up eventually.
I don't understand why most Asian parents only want their kids to marry Asians or if it isn't Asian, Western.
Shouldn't we all be treated equally? Even though some of us have different religions and such? We're all the same icky and gooey blob inside. Aren't we?
It's not just Asians, some Caucasian families also want their kids to only meet with other Caucasians, black with black, etc. It's pretty racist if you ask me. There's nothing wrong with dating a guy/girl with a different religion/ethnicity/whatever.
Like Deity said, there is nothing wrong with dating out of your Religion/Ethnicity.
I'm a Caucasian American dating a Latino/Hispanic Australian. At first his parents were very dead set against since I was White American. They wanted to have their first son in an Arranged marriage, after he declined it he met me and we've been together ever since. His family has finally gotten over it, they hate me for taking their little boy away but I don't really care.
But it's very true that a lot of people who are against it are Racist. My father for example, thank goodness I don't live or keep in contact with him, is extremely racist. He said if I ever hooked up with a African American or Native American he would disown me. Always going off what horrible people they were, just like the homosexuals and blahblahblah. He's a pretty awful man and disgustingly racist.
The ethnicity of the relationship really doesn't matter in most cases. Like my boyfriend and I, we don't even notice the difference in our relationship. It plays no part in our lives except when it comes to family matters. They just love to make things more difficult. But when you love your partner you're willing to tolerate almost anything for them. Plus give or take a year now we won't have to bother with them at all, haha. xD
TL;DR Version: It shouldn't matter. But still even in this day and age it does to a lot of people, usually to the older generations. Just keep and open mind and an open heart and hope one day we all can over come this. Even if it's just one person at a time.
Thanks. Just to let you know, I actually got back together with him. I'm so happy. But this time, I won't tell my parents a thing. My mother wanted be out of the house and I became the black sheep of the family, still am, one way or another.
And I really do hate it, both my parents are racists when it comes to dating people.
I'll follow up your advice, and thanks. But you do have to admit, an Asian and a Moroccan walking together hand in hand on the streets is something you very rarely see. But I do know it's not impossible though. So yeah. =]
your parents will need to get used to it eventually i guess.
i've had a girlfriend for 6 years who happens to be asian. she gets angry looks from asian people in the street when she's with me. her family doesnt really mind since none of her cousins or sisters have white boy/girlfriends. theyve gotten used to this because my gf is the youngest.
i dont think i have ever seen an asian and a colored person together lol:P just have fun!
I find nothing wrong with it. And...luckily, I'm the product of a mixed marriage, so I've been raised to see it as no big deal. :D
It really doesn't make sense to me though, the whole idea that it's "wrong". I don't know why our physical appearance or our spiritual differences would make us any more/less of a person than someone else. And doesn't that mean we're equal? It doesn't make sense.
