Interracial dating - Asia vs North America Yesterday, a friend Richard asked me where he could meet a very nice woman for marriage. I've known Richard for maybe 26 years, his question shocked me, since as you can see on my profile, my experience is non-existent as Married. I'm a single Black Male. We both started to laugh when it dawned on me he was "pulling my chain". He knows that I've put my baby toe into the dating pool waters with a free ad on this web site. Richard is a ex runner (he recently injured his Achilles) who is a handsome 6' 165 lbs. He recently went back to College and graduated from Fordham this past year and is now single again, after a really tough break up with a woman he dated for maybe 5 years. His lover/partner was African American and a little bit older than he was. We started discussing the interracial dating issues that might have surfaced during his time with his partner. He noted that not many even took a second look at them. This morning when going online, the question popped into my mind, what kind of issues might be created when dating an Asian woman here in the states. Of course living here on the West side of Los Angeles in Southern California and spending a lot of time here in Ocean Park / Venice at the beach and having season tickets to several major universities (USC / UCLA) sporting events seeing mixed raced / mixed religious couples is normal. Yet it dawned on me that abroad in other countries, mixed race / interracial dating might be frowned upon. After reading several articles, it seems that interracial dating is not something that several Asian cultures accept easily. Some interracial couples have been harassed in person, online and belittled by even family members. Now, even though my desire is to find a great partner to care for an love, would it be the right think for them if they are disowned in their own culture. Does anyone have any experience with dating inter-racially and the impact of the family when they were dating?  Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. |
