I'm Chinese, and my bf is white. Honestly, i'm absolutely terrified of telling my parents about us. My parents are very traditional. According to them, i'm already a horrible daughter since i've rebelled every single step of the way. They've come to terms with the fact i'm the black sheep of the family but i know they feel ashamed of me sometimes.
This might send them over the edge. I know that. The worst case scenario when i tell them i'm in love with a white guy, and want to spend my life with him is that they'll kick me out. Permanently. It's heartbreaking, but i accept it. This is my life. I love who i love. I'm not going to sacrifice my own happiness for my parents foolish beliefs that white guys aren't as reliable. Their ignorance is painful. I try my best to ignore it. They're my parents, and so i love and respect them, but i cannot and will not respect some of their beliefs. the most I can do to coexist with them is to block out the things I hate about them.
In the end, I'm going with my heart. I chose already. It's up to my parents whether or not they can accept my decision. It's your happiness at stake here. I wouldn't let anybody try to sway me.
