On topic, I have no problem with interracial couples. Despite from some of the difficulties that may arise culturally with the family, I think there are many positive attributes to interracial dating.
I am in an interracial relationship. I am caucasian, and my girlfriend is Korean. I love her more than I can say, but the two of us are having a hard time because her parents are not happy with the idea of her dating me. She says they like me, just not the fact that I am white and that they see problems for us down the road and would rather us end it now rather than facing problems later. (I have met them by-the-way) Unfortunately, they are very traditional and do not put much weight in her decisions, they feel that they should make the decision for her.
Because we are a great distance from each other for the summer, and the fact that it is very difficult for us to communicate, our relationship is stressed right now, especially for her. She has a difficult time because she is trapped at home with her born-in-Korea parents jamming their views down her throat.
I would say our relationship is great when we are alone, and we both love each other, but the external pressure her family puts on her really stresses our relationship when they are involved. I am trying my best to help her make it through this, because I really don't want to lose her. But despite these problems, I think interracial dating is just fine, and I have learned alot about Korean culture from her. I am learning the language as well. : )
