    The irony is, it’s more likely to happen with roles reversed.
    I’ve barely ever seen an Asian family be accepting of anything less than another Asian for their children’s spouses/partners
    (Coming from an Asian person)

    My Asian brother ton bau. A tough decision you have to make, you gonna marry this girl and you won't get any respect from her family and your family. If I were you I simply walk away, it's self respect and self love. Be prepared to a wedding that you have bunch of invitations get sent out and few people show up. Diffusion of Culture issues, and many factors you have to consider especially you expect some of relatives from her family won't like you either. America is not color blind. And this show is a prank show to try to humiliate Asian and escalate racial tensions. Never watch any show from ABC 8:15

    I was introduced to someone, same ethnicity, just different nationality.

    There is such an unsurmountable mountain to overcome! Cultural differences, regional differences, language barriers… food, art, literature, recreational, aesthetics, growing up and what is the expectations… It's a lot to heartaches and pain. Then add the parents? Oh crap.

    I'm Japanese🇯🇵 and spent most of teenage in California
    (went to public high school and played football)
    but….I didn't have any serious problem

    yeah some guys made fun of me and talk shit/pick on me, especially the football team members😂
    but I took it as manhood thing, since all men go through it once or twice in your life so.

    Ah yes the old game of 'if you don't like my point of view' you're a 'insert derogatory label'. People, in a non-institutional/workplace-related setting are allowed to have preferences. It doesn't make them a 'hater' of whatever opposes their preferences. Some folk don't like dating extremely obese people. That doesn't make them a fat-phobic.

    He’s a catch. Only a foolish in-law would reject a guy who makes $150,000 yr., is professionally successful, and treats the lady with respect.

    I'm married to an Asian woman who holds a Ph.D. in food science and works as director of R&D of a major food company I met the University of British Columbia, while I was doing my master's in engineering. When she introduced me to her parents, they said, cool, go ahead and marry our daughter. Just take care of her!

  17. @ElHongoVerde

    Dude. If you don't want him, I"ll take him for one of my daughters. And if she doesn't want him, I"LL TAKE HIM FOR ME! I'm heterosexual but don't care. My wife agrees with me. We are taking you home, man…

    Dear John Quinones and WWYD staff,

    Stop creating these hypothetical racist scenarios to prove non-existent points that show we live in a decent world with decent human beings. It's a pretty racist thing to do.

    Sincerely,
    Pissed off Asian guy

    This isn't even an older generation thing.

    I'm Asian and I grew up in a white area and then moved to a big city. I have gotten so many racist comments while dating or just out and about with friends. I lost count of how many times I've straight up gotten "ew, sorry, I don't talk to Asians".

    My experience has been very polar opposites of the spectrum. Either the girl I date is VERY into Asian things, to the point where it's a fetish, or someone who just completely does not see me as a viable person to date.

    I've only had 2-3 girls I dated in my entire life who saw me more than just "the Asian guy".

    Weird thing is, it's WORSE in cities. I grew up in Vermont, then I moved to NYC and LA. In NYC and LA, I experienced a LOT more racism while dating.

    The mood may be this way now, but back in the mid 1990s, I the boyfriend of Asian Indian background to a Caucasian woman did not turn out well. This was in South Bend Indiana. I was basically "run off" by her guardian despite my university education as an engineer, and of a good family (parents MDs)… simply because I was not Caucasian.

    I don't talk to them anymore. Whst nade me politely get up and leave, was how her guardian referred to me as, "Him!"…not by my name.

    I did finally find live and marry though in 2000 I met a wonderful Asian Vietnamese woman. We married in 2004. We are still together. So there you have it…An American of Asian Indian background, engineer, married to a Vietnamese American accountant.

    Asian is white, according to biology. Yellow is created by a racist European who wanted to distinguish European and Asian 200years ago. China has 5000 years long civilizations. But in the recently 200 years, Europe soared by Industrial Revolution. Then they wanted to kick Easten Asian out of White to make their European superiority. They invaded into China and controlled our government. In order to humiliate us Asian, they created “Yellow” to define our Eastern Asian race because “Yellow” means sick people. That is why in nowadays, Western calls us Asian instead of “Yellow”. I know in Australia, our Asian is put into White race already. The true is: Eastern Asian is the most outstanding race in the world for every aspect including the highest IQ. The girl’s parents are so uneducated for both biology & history!

    this pairing don't work as well as the reverse.. makes ya'll wonder if theres a social/power dynamics going on thats effected by history and other social political economical pasts , realities, or perceived 'fantasies'~

    I’m a white Scandinavian girl and I would love an Asian boyfriend 😍Look up Cha Eun Woo and Hwang In Joup, two extremelly handsome Asian guys with great personalities and talant💯Also, I think it’s really beautiful with interracial couples in general🤍 Racist people is just sad.

    This reminds me of my family. My mom's white, my dad's half asian/half white. The extended family on my mom's side are selfish, narcissistic, and racist Floridians who didn't approve of her first and only husband being half chinese filipino. And the extended family on my dad's side? His father was selfish and racist, and my asian grandmother was a severely religious tiger parent. Funnily enough, she didn't approve even though she married a selfish and non-religious white guy…she wanted my dad to marry a religious asian woman. Luckily, they accepted us eventually, but it took decades…

    But just because our extended family sort of approves now doesn't mean we're off the hook. Our neighborhood is very evangelistic and they don't talk to any of the asians, the rare blacks, or the muslim family across from us, but they usually talk to religious and even non-religious whites…Now a british family moved next store and I just hope they're accepted.

    I'm also a trans-man but I haven't "come out" because of our neighborhood's extreme evangelist beliefs. I know I'd be ridiculed and I don't feel safe coming out. Hopefully soon we can move from Wolf Ranch and to a more accepting neighborhood far from this craziness…

    WHAT WOULD YOU DO? NOTHING ITS NOT MY DAM BUSINESS……..LIVING IN JAPAN I CAN TELL YOU THAT ASIANS DON'T WANT PEOPLE THAT ARE FOREIGNERS MARRYING INTO THERE FAMILY,THAT INCLUDES OTHER ASIANS….MOST OF THE WORLD IS RACIST AND XENOPHOBIC AND AMERICA IS THE LEAST RACIST AND XENOPHOBIC COUNTRY IN THE WORLD….

  48. @SomethingSomethingg

    Whats annoying is that whenever racism is featured they ONLY cast white actors to be racist. There is a well documented history of black people discriminating against Asians probably even more so than white people and yet I don't think the producers would ever dream of having that scenario played out.
