Would your parents care if you dated or married someone outside your race?


Recommended Posts

My parents are very traditional, but they are quite open about relationships.  They don't care who I marry, just as long as I'm happy and... have kids lol  They really want to see grandchildren.

If it's Caucasians, yeah they don't like it... If it's among Asians (Well, Asians are of many different ethnic races too), then no...

 

I think it's more on like how they'd know they would rarely see me if I marry an American or European... I mean I live in SEA, unless my spouse chose to live here with me and not decide to live in his country of origins...

 

Coz I have 2 cousins who married an Australian and a Frenchman and they returned back here only like twice a year to see their parents...

 

My parents have this thinking that it's easier for me to visit them more often if I marry an Asian, better still one living in my country...

 

My mom used to always tell us sisters (we are 3 girls in the family, no brothers) not to marry Caucasians with that reasoning, not anything racist...

 

Since we're a close-knit family, my parents still expect frequent family gatherings even after all of us have our own family... And of course they'd like to see their grandchildren often too...

Not really, though something tells me they'd prefer if I dated someone my own race. 

They generally focus on whether someone is intelligent, polite, respectful. 

Which works since that is what I look for as well. lol 

 

NB: I'm black but have dated both inside and outside of my race.

Yes they would. Actually, since I'm Asian and there's a ton of different Asian cultures, they'd care if I dated anyone who wasn't from the same country as them. Kinda sad really...

 

I don't think they'd oppose it, but they wouldn't be too comfortable with the relationship because they're so used to a monoracial(?) family that having someone with a different background would be a little shocking and like I said, uncomfortable. Not that I'd care too much tbh. I'm open to all races.

(Although, I do have a preference for Asians mainly because I want to raise my kids with the general "Asian standards". I think it'd be harder to do it if my spouse was of a different race.)
