well...i'm very glad to hear that some of the relationships DO indeed work out with few problems.

...although my real concern is the orientation of most of the said problems faced in such international relationships.

it's the result of a serious lack of diversity in some societies, faced with interaction with those from societies with a little more diversity in their hearts and minds.

i'm all for cultural, ethnic diversity and mixed relationships.
but i know in this world, many have harder lined concepts of life.

...including the USA...a very hard lined nation to say the less.

you know i'm mixed race myself and i do know that people in the asian countries noted, do share these strange prejudice's that children and adults of such backgrounds are somehow lesser, unless they prove themselves otherwise.

so they believe that a mixed child will suffer in society.
they also fear chilldren of single parent homes will be targets of ridicule.

not to get too personal on a forum, but my mixed ethnicity leans towards the african-american-caucasian-native-american side.

...a very known fact in the american social history is this kind of ethnic mixure.
most americans if broad minded and truthful, clearly understand this mixture, due to the historical development of the USA.

as noted:

>>>Someone even said if we had a child together
> it wouldnt be healthy because of the mixed race.<<<

what people in asia don't realize is just how "real" this culture of american ethnic diversity really is.
their tunnel vision of american people only being blonde haired blue eyed people is so obvious.

more times than few, they really fail to realize "who" the real americans are.
we are already branded with being less educated and poor, while other mentioned are rich and well educated.

if most caucasian people in asian countries are viewed in a better light, then maybe the society has a little more relaxed acceptance about such foreigners dating the locals.

i'm not sure.
but if the people already have some negative stereotypes about some people, who they only learned this by hear-say, then their opinions are almost set in stone.

...to make this long story short.

i guess the important thing is how each other feels for one another.
