my grandma said this to me:
your parents raised you and gave you the best of everything, the least you can do for them is to find a nice boy that they will like and accept too.
she said that after the rumors started flying around my family all over the globe that my boyfriend is brown.
i love him, but my whole family seems to look down on that. i don't want him to be the reason that i cut off tides with my family so i can be happy with him, and i don't want him to be the reason my family is unhappy.
i think my post is more of a vent, but some stuff people said here opened my eyes a little more and can help me later on when it gets to me actually bringing him home.
thanks for your input everyone =D

I read this thread, and I was incredulous. Really. If you were, say, white, and your bf was black, this whole thing would be a major shitstorm.
Best I can say, talk to your bf, have him learn a bit of your culture, at least to appease your parents a bit.
I really don''t get it. If you don't want to mix, you like, uh, don't immigrate. Or maybe I'm used to the whole mixing thing, given where I'm from.
Either way, just my two cents.
Edit: And I agree with darkfroggy, to an extent. One of my family members dates someone from HK. Not even my grandmother, raised in a traditional family, gives a shit.
